I have to confess that I am really quite excited about the new lot of classes coming up. I think they might be our best ever! I keep seeing peeks of what Polly is doing and Marion's card classes are getting booked up fast. Me on the other hand have a few tricks up my sleeve.... a birthday layout with super cute mini birthday bunting, a mini album to showcase your top summer photos, a spooky but sparkly spider web Halloween layout and a Halloween box for treats that you could make for the trick or treaters or maybe they are too yummy to give away! All ideas are stored here.... This is my book of ideas,small enough to fit in my bag but big enough to sketch in. Do you have a book of scrapping ideas? If not start one today!! Also another exciting class thing for me is the scrapbooking beginner course which starts on 20Th September. Oh to see those eager newbie faces again! Do they know they are entering in for a life time scrapping addiction?! Loves and Bugs Nina x x x

... it might be here on Friday! The fabby new stuff from the states, that is! Can I just tell you how excited we all are as this shipment contains all of the new halloween papers and 541 lbs of scrap-tastic goodness. I should have all my class samples ready and up on the shelf on Friday and Nina is a busy bee getting together her samples too ;) Marion has began to put together her classes for the shop and the make a wish crop. So pop in and book as the classes are already begining to fill up and we wouldn't want you to miss out! We are also selling the make a wish tickets in the shop for the enormous crop in Romford which is on Saturday the 4th of October, tickets are £20 for the whole day (10am til 5pm) and not only do you get your own cropping space but also a goodie bag! There are also additional classes which can be booked, these will be released at a later date. And lastly we have just a few of our wonderful kits left in the shop... they have been flying out of the door :) Tha...

Just uploaded LOADS of new YUMMIES on the site so you can have a SNEAKY PEEK of what's on it's way, within the next week or so. I'm loving the HAMBLY SCREEN PRINTS and the SCRAP WITHIN REACH papers are just gorgeous and as for the KAISER well.... it has probably been one of the most popular lines we've EVER HAD, there's just soooo many SCRUMMYLICIOUS products, I'll be adding more just to keep you salivating.. ANYWAY enough of work for just one minute...BIG BROTHER, it has got to be a fix, no offence to RACHEL but how did she stay in over STUART??? and that NICOLE....well she just needs a bloomin' BIG SLAP, I can't even think of one nice thing to say about her, so I'll say nothing at all. Did anyone see X FACTOR on Saturday, how funny is that. In fact it was so funny that I had to watch it again on Sunday night, just to see the two brothers from Wales singing (allegedly) Misterious Girl, I get confused with my self as one minute I'm screaming wit...

We have just this minute finished adorning our ribbon shelves with our gorgeous new ribbons... well, most of them (I secretly think that Marion has a ribbon fetish as she has bought soooo many new ones!)... ;) We have finalised our class lists, projects to follow but the papers and ideas are all down on paper... You can see them on the shop site ( www.sugarandspicecrafts.co.uk ) and of course if you are interested in joining us do phone or pop into the shop and book! We would love for you to join us for a paper project or two and a few choccie biscuits. The doodling class went amazingly well yesterday and we saw the most creative designs popping out. Thank you ladies for the fantastic class and the laughs... and lovely lemon yum-yums :) And a belated happy birthday to Jayne who was celebrating a certain special birthday. She kept us giggling with her little tales ;) Who is in your lust book? And our new kits have been flying out of the door too :) So if you'd like one you'll ha...

... this is an exculsive for our blog watching laydee's! Our new kit for this month.... It is a scrummy-licious pizza box of goodness ;) It has the best products on the scrapping market atm... Kaiser goodies, paint dabbers, pearls.... and lots more goodies! Including an exclusive rubber stamp which you cannot buy anywhere! This fan-tabulous box of delicious paper goodness will be avaliable from the shop at a special price of just £20.00 just for you creative ladies... It will be avaliable for general sale on the website on Friday...

... I hear the new goodies are in ;) (lots of happy dancing here!) Hooray! After much waiting and frantic searching. I just can't wait to get into the shop tomorrow and have a good peek at it all IRL, rather than a catalogue ~ yes, it's all very lovely in a catalogue but nothing beats RL does it?? I also have the doodle half the day class running on Saturday, which still has spaces... you honestly don't have to be good at drawing. I have a fabby cheats way of doodling too. We show doodling on lettering, doodling using patterned paper as a guide and free doodling. The hardest it gets is drawing a heart and ladies I know you can all draw a heart :) We are also coming up with fabby, brand spankin' new classes starting in September... So just keep a look out for our sneaky peeks. Pop into the shop for full reveals, once they are up here on the blog! And of course we will be announcing all the new yummies coming into the shop which Marion ordered from CHA here too... ;)

We've got:- PAPER FLOWERS (much better value than the Green Tara ones) DOUBLE SIDED PAPER .... oh just to die for!!! FELT FLOWER STRIPS.... oh sooo yummy !!! BLING.... in words, shapes, flowers and itty bitty flowers RUB-ONS.... well they're just coming out of our ears !!!! PEARLS.... in some of the most gorgeaous colours !!! CARD & ENVELOPE PACKS..... Great VALUE !!!! and last but not least..... some of the BEST wooden ALBUMS, in the shapes of FAIRY CASTLES, HOUSES, CARS, TRAINS oh and so much more!!!! I could go on and on and on, but I'm hungry and I want my dinner, so you'll just have to pop on in. SEE YOU SOON

Well we sat and waited and waited and waited and oh I could go on...... BUT our order didn't arrive, Boo Hooo!!! So after the initial temper tantrums and sulks we decided hey what the heck, lets design something amazing...... and so we did. Paula and I sat down on Sunday and started off with one idea and after about three "ooh but what about if we do this and we do that" came up with our NEW "The 12 Days of Christmas" not to be confused with the one we done LAST YEAR, this is oh, so different and you are going to love it, we're keeping it under wraps at the mo. Oooh we're such teasers, BUT we will give you a sneaky peek.

Today, is a post full of goodies! Not really brand spankin' new goodies but goodies that we hold all year... Our ribbons : Just check out all the gorgeous colours and textures and patterns... Sold by the metre or in our special bundles with felt flowers. Our papers: This is just a tiny, itty, bitty selection of the papers we have in the shop at the mo. Brights, black and whites, pastels and all colours and patterns imaginable! Our custom made books: We have a huge selection in the shop made with plain chipboard, blackboard and acrylic. We also have samples set up in the shop too... just to give you a little bit of inspo ;) And finally... in the shop we are all waiting for a knock on the back door. We are desperate to get our new kaiser order in and ready for Ally Pally! But while we are waiting for all the yummy scrummy-ness to arrive from Kaiser and the states we are a hive of activity working hard! Keep your eyes peeled for new classes (!) birthday party celebrations (which in...

Hi, for those of you that have been lucky enough to get your hands on our NEW STAMPS here's a few examples that we've managed to do in our BUSY schedule. Time needs to learn to slow down. I should actually be a size 8 by now, but something went wrong on the way.

Well, I'm back and in the land of the living, actually got over my jet lag really quickly this time. Have just heard that we should be getting all the NEW KAISER stuff in within the next 7 to 10 days. OMG where is it all going to go. The rest should arrive by the end of August, if not before !!!! My new STAMPS have arrived and we've been playing with them today. I'll pop a few piccy's on soon, SORRY but I left my camera at the shop. If anyone out there is watching BIG BROTHER can we all VOTE REX OFF pleeease..... he is sooooo annoying. For those of you that voted for us in the CRAFT AWARDS last year, THANK YOU (we got runner up).... and HEY..... you can VOTE again, if you think we deserve it. Ally Pally is sneaking up on us, it comes round so quick, maybe because it's 2 a year, DOH !!! So we're going to be getting lots of yummy samples ready for that. I can see a really BUSY time ahead this next two months, so if you see any of us sitting in the corner and rock...
