Merry Christmas!

Hi!

Well here we are at the end of another year with Christmas only 3 sleeps away!! I hope you have all your shopping done, presents made & wrapped & you can now put your feet up for a bit before the madness begins!!

I would like to thank you all for your support throughout the year. Of course without you coming to have fun in the workshops & laugh your way through the scrap'n'roasts, I wouldn't be in business - so thank you!

Taking a break from workshops for a couple of weeks, we'll start back with a scrap'n'roast on the 8th & workshops on the 10th. If you are desperate for scrapping supplies in the next few weeks, just give me a buzz & if I am home, I will open the shop for you! I don't mind doing this, but please restrict to weekdays between 9am - 5pm (no public holidays or weekends).

Good news for the girls who ordered the black Cricut - I was speaking to print blocks yesterday & they should be in Australia by the time they get back from their holiday closure (5th Jan) so I will let you all know when I get the invoice for payment.

How cute is this!!! My Vagabond, by Tim Holtz, arrived in my order yesterday. The packaging was so darn cute I didn't want to open it! Finally all the cardstock arrived off backorder, so all the holes in the rack will now be filled with colour! Some more border punches arrived, along with a set of gorgeous texture plates (music & postcard words). They will all be on the wall when you come in next - maybe...

The first scrap'n'roast for the year is on the 8th of January, starting at 2pm until midnight. There is only one spot left for this fun filled scrappy event, so if you have been thinking about coming, give me a ring or email to book in. $5 deposit is required to secure your spot.

Workshops begin again on the 10th January. The first workshop is "Border Punch Madness". You will need to bring your stash of border punches (I used 5 different ones!). I will email out before the workshops begin - but while you're out over this holiday period - take lots of photos!! This layout needs 6 portrait photos @ 4x6" or you could do 4 landscape photos @ 4x6" but not a mixture - has to be all up & down or all across!! So get snapping, click, click!

From my family to yours, a very merry Christmas and all the best wishes for a wonderful 2011! 

How embarrassing!!  Jennifer 'elfed' me on my iphone - but I thought I would share it with you anyway!!!! This is what happens when you sit for hours in the waiting room of the doctors surgery!  I got her back and yes these will be printed & used on a page!!! Muhahahahahaha!

Happy Scrapping & a very merry Christmas!

Next Week ... 6 December 2010

Wow!!!  December all ready!  It's all go here at my place, how about yours?  Looking forward to next week when things will finally slow down and I can get ready for Christmas.

Exciting news - I have finally been allowed to have an account with Bumblebee Crafts!!  This completes the wholesale set, so to speak and I should be able to get practically everything available in Australia - yeah!  So go over to their website and have a squizz at what they've got, if you see something you like, let me know - I have to build up my first order.

My last day of work yesterday - have really enjoyed going out into the real world and earning a bit of pocket money (even if I did spend it all on medication and doctors!!).

Next week's workshop is a real 'bugger' - remember when my car drove itself through the church hall wall??  Well these are the photos, yes I have finally printed and scrapped them!!!

Stamping, Scrunching and Sewing    $18

Monday 7-9pm; Wednesday 12.30-2.30pm and Thursday  9.30-11.30am

Apart from the fact that these photos are of my car going through a church hall, it is a great layout for a heap of smaller photos!  We will be stamping, sewing, scrunching, ripping and distressing all on the one layout, but don’t let that phase you.  You will need 7 photos, 4 landscape @ 3x4”, two portrait @ 2x3” and one landscape @ 2x3”.  You will also need your basic tool kit, ink, edge distressor, paper piercer, embroidery needle, slice/cricut machine or stencil to cut your title and an idea of what your title is going to be.

This weekend is the Christmas Scrap'n'Roast!  1pm until midnight, $20.  It is fully booked.  If you want to be a part of the Secret Santa, please bring a present to the value of $10 and place it in Santa's Sack! Lots of fun to be had all afternoon and evening.  Remember if you can't make it, please let me know because there is a waiting list.

If you are interested in coming to a Scrap'n'Roast, they start again in January.  There are still spots for the 8th and 22nd of January - get in quick!!

Well better sign off here - have to get the place ready for the band christmas party in 4 hours....eeeeek!!!

Happy Scrapping,

Mandy :-)
