It’s not always easy to be creative—to give our minds space to roam while ignoring our inner critic, to stare down a blank page and make the leap from nothing to anything. It takes courage. Finding the courage to create is something the editors of Flow know a lot about. Creativity is a central value of the Flow mission, evident in every issue that bursts with the wild imaginations of its artists, writers, and editors. In Creativity Takes Courage, Flow brings together inspiration, hands-on projects, boundary-pushing activities, and special paper goodies to show readers how to unleash their inner artists. Organized around a series of twelve “dares”—including Dare to Fail, Dare to Be a Kid, Dare to Be Bored, Dare to Go Offline, Dare to Collaborate—Creativity Takes Courage encourages the reader to be fully present.

  • BEST Craft Store!

    ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
    The BEST craft shop I have ever been to. Every single bit of the store is beautifully decorated and has unique gifts, cards, stickers and crafts. I will not be buying cards from anywhere else. My niece also played in the children's area the whole time my family was here. The staff was also very friendly and talked to me about some of the artists that create the art/gifts in the shop. Great for littles and adults, SO fun!!! (Google Review)

  • Above and Beyond

    ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
    This adorable stationery store is so nice. The ladies who work here go above and beyond to make sure you are happy with your purchase. I wanted an Emily Lex watercolor workbook for a Mother's Day gift. The title I wanted was sold out. They let me know more were on order, called me to inform me of the expected delivery date for their shipment, and then called me again to let me know my item was now in-stock. I was able to get the gift I wanted in time, and my mom loved it so much. I can't wait to return to the shop to see what new items they are getting in. (Google Review)

  • A Wonderful Place

    ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
    What a wonderful place. Things you won’t find anywhere else. Greeting cards for special things, vintage games in tins or in what looks like a book to stand upright on your bookshelf. Stickers created by the owner of the shop. And they’re very friendly inside. (Google Review)
