"Christmas, A Special Thank You & More.." by Dawn

Hello Everyone,

Well, Christmas is well and truly upon us isn't it and I am certainly beginning to feel all festive now, hope you are too.

This is just a quick note to let you know about some new items that we now have available and to let you know about the special offer we currently have running both for personal callers to the shop and also for those of you that shop with us on line.

However, before I do and on a personal note, I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you for all the lovely Christmas Cards and Emails. It really was very kind of you to take the time to send them and your continued love and support really means a lot to me - Thank you so much.

Now for the updates...
The Dufex I mentioned in the last newsletter is now on line. All of them are lovely and such great quality images, but I particularly like the Die Cut Decoupage - Puppies, Garden Visitors, Floral Occasions and Easter featuring rabbits and chicks which is lovely for any spring themed card as well as for Easter.

The special offer on specially selected Tim Holtz products - including any 3 ink pads for £12.00 and discounts on other lines is only for a limited period or while stocks last, so please make sure you get yours soon to avoid disappointment.
We have some great new and back in stock items including Tim Holtz, Core-dinations Distress Collection 12 x 12 Card Stock, Colorcore 12 x 12 Pad, a variety of sizes in acrylic stamping blocks from Woodware, the 9" Paper trimmer from Fiskars and the new Time Travel Collection from Kanban. So new we haven't had time to take the photos to put onto the website yet! Ha ha! It's an extension of their highly successful SteamPunk style and really is fantastic!

If you are looking for some last minute gift ideas, we have some items that would make great stocking fillers along with Gift Vouchers, Tickets for Workshops - Details of those confirmed can be found on the Website.

We are also pleased to announce that we have 2 tutors that will be making their first visits to the Design Studio in 2012- Sheila Halliwell & Hels Sheridan and full details of their workshops will be announced as soon as they are confirmed.
