Wow, Six weeks flew by! I am talking about the beginners course that has just finished. We had 2 groups of lovely ladies all eager to learn their new hobby. Some had done scrapbooking before but came along to learn some new techniques and some were complete virgins! There were some complete light bulb moments, like when some of the ladies actually discovered that journaling was therapeutic and started journals to write all there memories ready for when they do their pages. There were also funny moments like when one of the Tuesday night ladies stitched her stitching template onto the page! Oh and who could for get those wonderful cupcakes that Sue baked for our last session - yum yum! Thank you ladies for being really super, you were a pleasure to teach. Don't forget to register on the web site and look out in your inbox for a update on the Off the Page course. Now to the next 6 weeks of beginners which starts tomorrow...... HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Love Nina x

Here is the kit that will be avaliable from the 1st of November...! This is just a weanie little peek of some of the goodies which will be featuring in the bursting full November kit :) This one is going to go fast, so get in quick... It's a kit full of brights, we will be bursting into November and celebrating Fireworks night with a huge Bang, Whoosh and Whizz! For those of you reading who are card makers and the scrapping bug hasn't bitten you... yet... We run beginners classes with the wonderful and scrap-tastic Nina which are held on Saturday mornings and Tuesday evenings. We still have a few spaces left on both days. Not only will you walk away with 6 LO's to begin an album but you'll also learn a wealth of techniques to keep you going for a long time afterwards. (Many of these techniques can be used on cards and other papercrafting projects too!) For more info or to book feel free to call the shop on 01268 530933 or pop in :) And lastly for those who have managed ...

Sshhh! It's a secret ;) Tomorrow I will be in the shop and willbe adding the finishing touches to the November kit... We are all SOLD OUT of the October one (for those of you who bagged a kit, well done!) I will be adding a sneaky peek this month so you can by all means ring a reserve one by paying for it in advance... otherwise it's a free for all on the first when the kits go up for sale. A big thank you to the ladies who were in my class on Sunday, I hope you 'family trees' are now all complete with photos and filling your albums or waiting to be wrapped as gifts, as some of you suggested. Thank you for the funny stories too ;) Tales of ham sandwiches being choked on, ransacked bedrooms and firemen :P They were totally hillarious. This Sunday I am following on from Marion's card class with my heart felt mini book on Sunday afternoon... and no doubt this weekend will also be just as loud!
