Summer Extravaganza - Save the Date

Summer Extravaganza is planned for the end of this month - eek!!  Newsletters out early next week, but I just wanted everyone to save the date - 27.28.29 July.  And of course give you a sneek peek of our fantastic line-up.  In no particular order, we have .... Heather Doran, a fabulous cardmaker and stamper who has been published internationally, and featured on the Hero Arts Blog.  We also have Eva Birdthistle, a fabulous scrapbooking teacher and Crafting Ireland design team member ...and there is more to come.
I will have everything finalised by Monday but I am bursting with excitement so had to share
The Summer Extravaganza is our original extravaganza and has been going for 8 years!!!!  Held in the shop, we have to limit numbers so early booking is essential.
  

Dublin Workshop Feedback

I was delighted to be back in Dublin this weekend, with a new format workshop, in a fab new venue.
We made 6 projects - packed with lots of techniques, at the Sean 'o Casey Community Centre, which was light and airy, and very clean and comfy.  It was such a relaxed day and everyone got their projects done, each in their own way, with personal twists as we discovered the uniqueness of fabby crafting goodies like alcohol inks and UTEE.  Just a few pics to show you what we were up to.

Hope to be back in Dublin soon.

Penny Black & Sizzix from Demo Day

Afternoon,

Have more pictures for you! These are more pictures from the Demo Day last Sunday. Almost all of these cards have Penny Black, some have Sizzix and there is one Red Hot Bed. Check out the sparkly threads - a lovely effect for very little effort. They are available in 6 colours at €3.50 each. I will have them on the shop site later today.
Forgot to mention the new Penny Black Stickeroos!! They are yummy.

Penny Black is up at An Siopa Bui!

I am getting better at it! I have spend a good while this morning and uploaded lots and lots of brand new Penny Black stamps on the site. We had a great day on Sunday playing with all the new stuff, and hopefully Helen will have the samples ups soon!
Have fun shopping!

The new Penny Black stock is in!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got a text earlier from Kerry - she was just a bit excited.
The new Penny Black stock has arrived.
Some of you that were at the coffee morning had a peek.

So there is a demo day on Sunday from 12 to 5.30 to launch the new Penny Black stamps and the Sizzix Hello Kitty stock. The planned Penny Black class is not going ahead as there was doubt about the arrival of the stamps.

Will be going for a little look:-).

See ye soon

PS - Take a look at these links to get some ideas for the new stock

Play Days & Nights

Well I hope ye have all recovered from the chocolate overload at the weekend.
We still have 3 big eggs in the fridge - not good.
