STABILO Hearts of Thanks!

Yesterday I was handed a little envelope with a big surprise in it - 10 handmade heart cards decorated with STABILO and carrying words of thanks!

I had met a very nice art materials enthusiast at one of the recent STABILO demos I did, and as we kept in contact, I learned she was a member of several artist groups who focus on different themes. I sent her a little sample package of STABILO products that I thought would be appropriate for the different groups, including Point 88, CarbOthello, and Woody. She took the samples and made cute little gift bags with them to hand out to the group members. It was a very gratifying surprise to receive the thank you hearts back that had been decorated with those same STABILO samples. It was clear that everyone was enjoying trying them and discovering their own new favorite!

Are you a member of an artist group that would like to explore the world of STABILO? Feel free to email me and tell me about your group and what kind of art you do, and I'd be happy to send some appropriate samples for trial (offer is for the US only)!

STABILO Demo at University Art a Success!

Pen Master Adam and I enjoyed speaking to and sharing STABILO with over 30 participants in 2 hours at the University Art demo in Palo Alto, CA this past Saturday!

Adam had an awesome idea to make a "house" with windows cut to the size of ATC cards out of a mat board. He cut the window holes himself and drew a cute house around them. We then invited participants to fill in the windows of the house with different scenes they created on Strathmore Artist Trading Card paper. You can check out the pictures from the event here;

Participants got to try a variety of STABILO products, grab some free samples and goodies, and purchase all STABILO products available in the store at 30% off that day! The most popular products were Point 88 pens, Woody pencils, and Pen 68 pens.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the demo that day!

For those of you who live in the San Francisco Bay Area, there will be another chance in June to check out the world of STABILO at an upcoming retailer event in Santa Rosa. More details to come on the blog soon!
