Introduction

Hello and welcome to the first post on the Talk, Paper, Scissors blog. Our goal is to eventually have this blog chuck-full of paper craft project samples, links, photos and techniques.

As an introduction, my name is Karen and I am a Co-Owner and the Creative Director of Talk, Paper, Scissors in Manchester, New Hampshire. A few of my responsibilities include managing the product lines in the shop, developing class schedules, creating display samples and merchandising. I also teach several of the classes we offer.

In 2006, my business partner Christine and I conducted market research, formulated a business plan and on September 29th, we opened Talk, Paper, Scissors. We describe Talk, Paper, Scissors as "A social gathering place with a creatively inspiring atmosphere."

Talk, Paper, Scissors is a dream come true for me. I have always wanted to work in an environment that fosters creativity, and that's just what Talk, Paper, Scissors is all about. If you visit our shop, you'll notice that over 50% of the space is dedicated to a bright, cheery and comfortable studio where people can come in anytime to create paper crafts. We also have a paper crafts shop where you can purchase paper, stamps, tools, embellishments and items to alter. For more information on the studio and shop, please visit our official website: www.talkpaperscissors.com.

We hope to continuously share photos, links and information that will serve as fuel for your creative journey.

Thanks for reading!
