Newsletter January 2010

Hello Crafters,

Happy New Year to you all! I look forward to seeing you all now that the worst of the weather seems to be cleared and the pavements are no longer like a skating rink!

Overleaf is a list of classes and workshops that are coming up in February and March. We will start taking bookings for these on :

Saturday 23rd January at 9.30 am

As usual you can book for as many or as few classes as you wish. Bookings can be made in person at the shop or by telephone (028 70354343) – unfortunately we are unable to take bookings by e-mail at this time. Once again we will be asking for payment in advance as this enables us to make the best use of our waiting lists, but anyone giving us 72hours notice of a cancellation will be entitled to a full refund.

Just arrived in store are the two new ranges of 12 x 12 paper from Basic Grey- Origins (lovely vintage prints in greens, browns, and yellows) and Sugar Rush ( a pretty mixture of pinks and blues).

I’ve also ordered 3 new paper ranges from Graphic 45 and ‘Flutter’ from Making Memories. Both are due in at the beginning of February.

We continue to add to our range of Cricut Cartridges that are available to hire- at a cost of £5 per week. If you own a Cricut Machine you may wish to make use of this service which allows you to get more from your machine without the expense of buying lots of different cartridges.

I have two new contacts for Jewellery making supplies and we will be expanding our range of beads and findings over the next couple of months, so do keep an eye out for those.

Our Second Saturday Specials provided some of you with great savings on Card, Jewellery making and Scrapbooking supplies in 2009 and we aim to continue this into 2010. The next one will be on the 13th February.

But remember- you have to come into the shop to find which fantastic offer we have on!

I think that is most things for now.

I hope to see you soon, but until then happy crafting!


Sara
