| Today I used my 40% off Michael's coupon to purchase "The Slab" It is a package of 180 12X12 size sheets of assorted papers. It says it's from the Provo Color Wheel Paper collection and it is in the Zizzix area. There are 3 sheets of 60 patterns and colors. I was going to buy 2 or 3 sheeets of some kind of pastels for Easter cards when I spied this. With the coupon it was 12.00 I think that makes it about 4¢ a sheet .
Last week Michael's had 12X12 on sale 3 for 1.00. |

| Wait a minute!! When I opened the pack of these beautiful papers I could hardly stand the odor. Very dense metallic smell. I tried to put some fabric softener sheets inbetween them but after a couple of hours it still smells bad. I'm going to try and return the pack tomorrow. Maybe it was just a one pack smell problem and I'll see if the others smell also. I bought a small pack of gold tissue once to use as backgrounds and I couldn't use it either because of the smell. Maybe it is because of 180 sheets being compacted in a blister wrap. |

| I took it back today!! My whole craft room smelled because of it and the clerks at Michael's agreed with me on it. I went back and sniffed several packages that had torn corners and they all smelled alike. I'm going to email Provo and tell them about it. |

| It could be the packs were wrapped before the ink fully dried. Petroleum based ink will have a gas-like smell and soy ink has a oily-alcohol smell. If they sit on a covered porch or in the garage for 2-3 days (depending on the humidity) it should clear up. |

| Will be interesting to see what the company says.....keep us informed. |

| I'd like to think that Karen but that tissue Paper I mentioned never did "air " out. And such beautiful papers too. Take a look next time you go to Michael's and if a corner of the pack is loose or torn take a sniff. Maybe it was just that shipment. |

| I did get a reply to my email here it is: "I am sorry about this. I will forward this message to the paper buyer. If Maryann |
