You won’t believe our July class schedule

by Christy Wood | Jun 24, 2015 | Uncategorized

The class schedule for July is jam-packed. Edgar Allan Crow wants everyone to know that Runaway is lucky to have both wonderful teachers and fabulous customers — that’s what makes the place work as well as it does! That and the presence of a very stylish bird “hovering” over everything in the place.

We have even more Art Impressions^® classes from Peggy Joyce. We have cartooning classes from Kelsey Hinton, and of course we have Deb Hook’s card classes using Great Impressions^® and Whipper Snapper^®.

Teresa Case is teaching Technique Tuesday^® stamps and Christy Wood is taking over the Technique Tuesday^® Die Fun Shop.

Tracy Ragland is bringing her “upcycling” skills to bear, and Joan Wiens has a couple of new offerings — Medieval Borders and a class using Inktense^® pencils. Kitty Miller is collaging your animals. Well, we think she’s using pictures. Not the animals themselves. Never can be certain.

Let’s see . . . what else? Oh, that’s right. Christy Wood has a couple of offerings to supplement her “regular” classes as well.

Remember, you can get a printed class calendar for the next month or two anytime at Runaway. And you can look at upcoming event descriptions (“Events” from the home page) here on the website (when Edgar gets them done — not all birds are as reliable as we’d like). And you can always check the “official” Runaway calendar (not always as much detail and no photos, but if it’s scheduled it’s on that calendar) by choosing “Event Calendar” from the home page (that’s the only way to see that complete version — the other calendars include only the events that have been separately entered).

Cardmaking, mixed media, altered arts, journaling, drawing and much, much more! And that’s just in the month of July!

Runaway approaches its second birthday — Watch this space!

Runaway is rapidly approaching the two-year mark. And you know what that means! Oh, you don’t? Well, to tell the truth, we aren’t sure either. Christy and the Crow are both playing things close to the vest this year. But we’re sure that they’re up to something, so keep your eyes open for special deals and whatever other nonsense they cook up!

Spring has sprung!

by Christy Wood | Apr 10, 2015 | Uncategorized

Thank goodness the west coast dock labor dispute has come to an end — we have plenty of new products coming into the store every week. The first new Ranger Dylusions paints have come (and gone — but we’ll have more in a few weeks). We have marvelous new Spring and Summer papers and a variety of new stamps in the store. If you haven’t checked us out for a while, now would be a wonderful time. You don’t know what you’re missing.
