Close to Nature

Tai is an Equestrian Veterinary and a true nature girl.

So it was only fitting that she chose our handmade paper from Nepal.

Tai also chose a coordinating invitation for their Rehearsal Dinner

Tea for TWO!

You might remember princess Gracelyn Alexis from a precious post, well,

she is now TWO years old! What better way to celebrate with her friends, then with a tea party?

Hope you had a fabulous time at your tea party! Can't wait to see you again next year!

A stationery suite for a sweet baby girl!

When Ashley came to me to help her create some stationery for her

little girl, I was more than thrilled to help out! She was such a pleasure to work with!

Welcome to the world, baby paps!

Baseball baby

Parkers nursery was decorated in a circus theme.

Ashley wanted to continue the theme into her stationery.

Her first picture at Fenway Park! How cool is this!?

Jonathan and Ashley decided that this would be the perfect way

to announce the sex of their baby. How cute!

Long overdue!

Wow, long time no post! Please excuse my absence. December has always been a very busy month for us at FPC and this year was no different. Between hosting wrap classes, designing Christmas Cards, and helping Santa wrap all of his presents, these little elves were BUSY! I have so much to share with all of you, I do not know where to start. During all of the holiday excitement, I failed to post that we have added a new member to our team! However, I feel as if she deserves a post of her own, so stay tuned...


I can already tell that 2009 will be a fabulous and exciting year for Forrest Paper! We have so many new things up our sleeves, including a website makeover and the introduction of the Forrest Bridal blog! Please be sure to check back often, I promise to be a better blogger from now on. ;)


Happy New Year!

Wrap Classes have begun!

Well, it's that time of year again! Can you believe it?

There is not a day that goes by that we do not get asked questions about how we make our beautiful bows. So with the holiday season just around the corner, we are very excited to share with you our wrap class schedules!

The registration fee for each person is $10.00. This fee includes all of your supplies; wrapping paper, ribbon, trim, and lots of fun! We will supply an empty box for you to use, however, if you call and let us know ahead of time, you can bring a your own gift to wrap!

Most of the classes on our schedule are held at 10:30 a.m. However, if you call ahead of time and have 8 or more people, we would be more than happy to schedule a night class for you.

Our Wrap Classes are such a huge hit and so much fun. In fact, we have had many of our "students" come back year after year and invite their friends to come along. You are welcome to bring food and drinks, or even a bottle of wine, and make it a party! This is the perfect opportunity to gather with girlfriends, coworkers, and other social groups, and learn how to wrap the perfect gift at the same time!

Classes are filling up FAST! So, please call us today to reserve your spot!

Come and join in the fun!

We do have a few night classes available. Please call us for times and dates!

We're headed to Mistletoe!

That's right! We are gearing up for our THIRD year at Mistletoe Marketplace in Jackson, MS, and we cannot wait! Cheryl and I had the best time picking out all of the different wrapping paper for this Christmas season. We cannot wait to share with you all of the fabulous wrapping paper we have chosen! I do believe this is our best selection yet!

Sweet Keri has been rolling her little fingers off getting us ready for the big weekend. It's no wonder we call her the MVE (most valuable employee)! Keri, you are AMAZING!!!!!!!

That's a lot of wrapping paper! Hope those chairs do not collapse before we put the cello around them! (Just kidding Keri! I think I would cry with you.)

One Year Anniversary!

Our sister company, Forrest Bridal is celebrating its first year in business. From fashion shows and trunk shows, to Bridal Fairs, it has been one busy year. We have enjoyed every minute of it! We have had so much fun watching our brides try on all the beautiful dresses, and I must admit, we have tried on a few ourselves! Over the past few months we have expanded our selection of designers to include Renella De Fina, Siri, and Adele Wechsler. Please stop by our website for a complete listing of our couture. http://www.forrestbridal.com/

Congratulations Forrest Bridal! I cannot wait to see what this next year has in store!

A very special thank you

New moms to be are always looking for the perfect way to say thank you for the gifts they have received. What better way than to include a picture of the new little one! What a special way to say thank you!

These note cards also make a great baby gifts!

Awaiting Baby Kate

It's a Girl! Baby showers are such a special occasion, not only for the

mommy to be, but for those who help celebrate her little one's upcoming arrival.

When choosing an invitation, we decided to use the colors

that Jennifer was using in her nursery. Not only will it catch the

attention of your guests, but it will also give them an idea of what colors

to keep in mind when shopping for the new baby.

Congratulations Jennifer! We cannot wait to meet baby Kate!
