Honestly, I'd forget my head.......... Etc ........ In my last post I meant to say that this weekend, 1st and 2nd October, most of Barleylands are holding a FREE DEMO WEEKEND, that's right, FREE !!!! Ourselves included, you'll have me on Saturday, WOWING you and Barb will be treating you to some of her super techniques on Sunday. So why not pop along and get inspired :) :) See you there Hugs Marion xx - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad

First of all can I just say a mahoosive THANK YOU to everyone who came along and saw us at Ally Pally, it was a fabbi show and we really appreciate your custom... Old and New :) :) :) !!! Now I'm hanging my head in shame as what with everything that has been going on I had to put back the Card Comp and the Prize Draw till today :( :( I know... I'm bad !!! BUT... the good news is we've DONE IT !!!!  There were so many great ones to choose from so we ended up choosing 9 winners including one from a 7 year old !! So take a looksie at the picture above and then you must contact us and tell us which one is yours, and we have a little gift waiting for you you at Sugar and Spice... Come claim your prize :) :) :)  Also, on the birthday night we held a raffle and guess what...... we've finally drawn that.... so if this is your ticket, we have a prize waiting for you at the shop :) :) :) We are still waiting to hear back from St Luke's to say what we raised on ...

Thought I'd give you another little sneak of some of the stash we're gonna be demoing with at Ally pally This stuff is glittery heaven.... I just keep taking the lids off and stroking it !!! And in case you never saw the newsletter, here's a little something I got inspired from, from one of the TRENDS books.... LOVE IT !!!! We've made some kits up for this gorjus wreath, but you're gonna have to be quick as we haven't got many :( :( :( ... BUT.... I will try and get more of the product in to make up some more :) :) We haven't forgotten about the raffle or card comp, but we've been inundated with deliveries and orders, so we just want to get Ally Pally out of the way and then we'll be back on track. Thanks for bearing with us. Hugs Marion xx

Well, in this instance it's going to be St. Lukes Hospice !! We asked you to be a follower to leave your answer to the following question ... "whilst prepping for Monday nights show, I had to go downstairs and get a bandage .... Why ????" This is the answer A ghoulish card Inside.

OMG... at last.... finally the TRENDS MAGS are HERE !!!! We've received SCRAP TRENDS, CARD TRENDS, CREATE, HANDMADE and CRICUT. We already have a list of people wanting these, so if you want to go on the list you must contact me so I can put you in the book. We have some available immediately, they are £10.99 each or if you subscribe for 3 issues of the same mag, then the price comes down to £9.99 an issue, payable at time of ordering. If you're not familiar with these Mags, first off I shouldn't call them mags as really they are books, I still have some dating back to 2002. I just can't bring myself to throwing them away, I still refer to them for inspo. I love them !!! They are from the States and alongside Creating Keepsakes, they are one of the BEST mags out there, in Sugar and Spice's opinion anyway !!!  Come and have a look and see for yourselves, and YES we will be taking them to Ally Pally :) :)  Anyhoo's had loads more deliveries so I need to get my fi...
