Been Busy

Been quite busy last few months, Painting like a woman possessed... Was at the St.brigids car boot sale last sunday. Great day met some really nice people. There is a real need for craft classes in the northside of the city. Doing it craft party style works well bcause insurance is expensive. I'll explain concept of craft party to you.

Its like the old fashioned tupperware party or the naughty ann summers party. Someone must host it and I will bring up the contents of site, Toppers, buttons, card packs, paper and envelopes. People can browse prducts at leisure and I'll be there to demonstrate products and show you a few new techniques....

Presents for hostess and 10% discount card.

Contact me for more details....

Embellishments

As you all know from the craft parties and contacting me there is a lot more embellishments that I haven't yet put up online. This is due to the time involved taking photos, adding them and making sure of their stock availablity before I put them online.

If there is anything you've seen but can't find on website just drop me a line and I can let you know if we have it or where we can find it.

In the next week the baby section will be up, so let me know your thought...
