In Short Founded in 1983 by Sue Lindstrom, this Chicago-based connoisseur of all things paper has since expanded to nine states beyond Illinois. Each location is still steeped in the genuine ideal that papermaking, and paper in general, is an art. Therefore, the shops stock an unlimited variety of playful colors--fuse green, confetti yellow--and a complete range of sizes for any... more

If you want to order on line from Paper Source be prepared to wait a LONG time and be required to call often to hound them for what the status is. I placed an order 2 weeks before Christmas for a gift - it never arrived and when i called their customer serivce to inquire why this particular item (an embosser with several plates) was not there for 2 weeks....then they couldnt find the order.... more

I love their plain cards here for dropping a quick note. But better is the range of classes and activities they offer. Beginners calligraphy, polaroid photo transfer, and scrapbooking lessons. If you are ever bored, pick up one of the at home projects, like making a drop spine box to store little treasures!

Pros

+ Great Signature Line of Paper

Cons

- Poor Selection of different stationary.

Do it yourself is GREAT
