time to craft!!

Hi Di here.
As you may know, the girl team have been able to get into work, so i think most (if not all ) are crafting away with a clear conscience. I have been been touch with the "boys" and i think harry is probably enjoying the weather out of us all. two weeks of winter nights and one day of snow is as much as i can stand, but hay ho cant do any thing about it. the neighbours have all been out "road" clearing where i live, two and a half miles from the nearest shop, so need to fight our way out even if it's only to keep the cats fed!
I would post photo's of our snow, (if only i knew how) over the knee and still falling thats the snow not me!!.
I have taken photo's of my craft day and will get some help in posting them as soon as i get back to work.
The saturday class was cancelled due to the weather. we will be arranging further classes for the spring

cheers to all
Di

Back from NEC

Hi all,

Well back from a very busy show never seen so many people. It was hard but enjoyable and had a well deserved rest day yesterday.
It was lovely to meet you all, old and new not that I can remember any names as it all became a blurr.
Robert, Jean and Di all held the fort back at the shop busy getting ready for the C&C show on Thursday morning.

Will look forward to the stamping workshop on Wedensday which is now full but there is one place on Saturday but not sure best to ring first.
Well must go for now, hope to see and hear from you all soon,
Hugs Karen xxx

more news from the shop floor

A very busy four days at the NEC, Michelle and Karen will no doubt bring you up to speed on that when they have had time to recover.  Robert, Jean and my self stayed at home and kept things ticking over at the shop. we have been very busy getting stock ready for the next show on Thursday 11th, at 9am on freeview 36.

There are four more work shops before Christmas, Karens is this Wednesday (full) and Saturday 13th, there my be one space left, but please check. The next work shop is titled "caught in crystal", which involves the use of transparency film, alcohol inks, glue, silver and gold leaf, silk fibers and any thing else that comes to hand. we will also be using shrink plastic, stamp board and tiny tins. there are three places left for the 24th of November and we are still taking bookings for the 27th. all courses commence at 11am and finish approx 1-30 ish, but the finish time tends to be flexable. (traslated means we hang around and talk a lot afterwards!!)

look forward to seeing you in the shop.

Michelle and Karen will be at the NEC whilst Jean Robert and my self will be keeping the home fires burning at the shop.
