To Market, To Market, To Market we went...

... and what a FABULOUS time we had!  Thank you to everyone who popped in at our stall at last weekend's Christmas in the Home Event - we loved catching up with you!  A big thank you also to Michelle and her team for putting on such a fantastic and well organised event...

Now for some news of what's been happening in-store these last couple of weeks...

NEW KIT FROM ELIZNA
Elizna has once again designed a STUNNING kit for the shop.  This latest kit is Christmas themed, and perfect for recording all those special Christmas memories...




There are only a few of these kits left, so come and grab yours before they all disappear...

NEW FROM SIMPLE STORIES
We have received the latest range from Simple Stories, called "Year-O-Graphy". 



This is another beautiful range from this ever popular manufacturer, and the papers were literally being bought up before we could even unpack the whole range.  We still have stock left, so come get yours and see what the buzz is all about!

and SPEAKING OF SIMPLE STORIES...
Jez has designed the most awesome calendar with the "Generations" range from Simple Stories..


She will be teaching this as a class, so phone the shop now and book your seat!  This is not a "kit" class, so you can use any paper range and embellishments of your choice, and Jez will help you put it all together - just in time to give it to someone special as a Christmas gift.

OTHER ODDS 'N ENDS
We have also received some beautiful mini stamps from Kaisercraft, flowers from Petaloo, chipboard from Celebr8, and so the list goes on.  Come and pay us a visit and have a look at all that is new!

NEW FROM JOHN&JANE...
We have new titles in stock from John&Jane, as well as their Christmas range, launched this last weekend at CITH. The Christmas range includes scrapbooking and cardmaking titles, Christmas-themed paper-piecing embellishments, as well as the most adorable 3D tags, treat bags and other Christmas crafts!  We will be adding to this range over the next two weeks, so be sure to pop in regularly to see the new designs (which will also include some Afrikaans Christmas titles!)

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST...
We are expecting the new "On the Move" range from Kaisercraft to arrive any day now...


That's it from us - happy scrapping everybody!
