Hello everyone,

It's been another really busy week both on Create & Craft and at my shop.

Hello Everyone,

Well! It's been quite a week!

First let me apologise for not being on air last Tuesday(5th September) at 5pm or 7pm . As you might already know, the reason for this was that my partner was rushed into hospital with chest pains and obviously I was distraught and needed to go to him. Fortunately he was strong enough to be discharged that evening - he is now at home resting and thankfully is feeling much better.

Whilst I offer my sincere apologises for you having to watch repeats at 5 & 7 on Tuesday, both my partner and I also offer our sincere thanks for all the support and get well messages you have generously sent. We are extremely touched by your kindness and we are both very grateful.

I would just like to clarify that my shop is not closing down! While it is up for sale we are trading as normal. In fact I am just re-stocking it with lots of new "goodies!" These will be available in the shop and on-line next week after the in-store sale finishes.

It is perfect for snow effects!

There are pretty Mini Bells and multi-coloured Christmas Light Bulbs embellishments - which look great on cards and scrap booking pages! There's new Tim Holtz items as well as a lot of your favourite Tim Holtz/Ranger items that are back in stock.

News From Dawn - 28th August 2011

Hello Everyone,

What a busy week it has been, my feet just don't seem to touch the ground anymore! 3 days in my shop, 4 days in studio ! What a crazy life I'm leading at the moment, all good fun though!
I've been so busy prepping next weeks show and thought I would include a couple of "sneaky peeks" at some samples that will be in my shows on Tuesday! I hope you like them!


So many changes are happening to me not only on a personal level and also to my business this year!
Dawn Bibby Designs/Topaz Crafts have had some new people joining us and sadly some leaving us.
After 9 years of working at the shop, Jane, who has been my right hand girl and helped with all my TV shows, has decided to move away from the area. I'm pleased to say Jane will continue to help with card samples but never the less, I'll miss having her around on a day to day basis.
This week also saw Christian my nephew. leave to start a new job. Although working behind the scenes, his merchandising in-store , running mail order and funny sense of humour will be very much missed.
So I'd like to say a big thank you to Jane and Chris for their support and hard work in particular this year.

What a lovely surprise!
I have just been told that I've been nominated in Crafts Beautiful Magazine 2011 Awards for Best Presenter/Demonstrator as well as Best Overall Card Designer! I am extremely flattered, so a huge thanks to those of you who nominated me for those awards. It really means a lot to me, it really does.

"Sorry For The Silence..." by Dawn

Sorry for the silence. It's been a really hectic couple of weeks for me and I have started to write this Email several times; only for something to crop up and demand my attention and, by the time I've sat down again the phone has rung! Do you get times when you seem to be running like crazy but don't seem to be getting anywhere? Frustrating isn't it? Oh well, life's rich tapestry huh?! Anyway, I'll make up for it by making this a long letter! Ha ha!

Life at Create and Craft is great fun and I'm really enjoying myself! It is such a refreshing change to be able to finish demos and show different techniques to you. From all the nice posts on Facebook, "Tweets" on Twitter and Emails to the shop; I sense that you are sharing my feelings! I'm really glad that you are enjoying the shows and thank you so much for joining me on this new adventure! I'm still learning as I go, but I'll get there in the end! Ha ha!

Before I tell you about all the great things that we have in the shop and on-line for you, I really want to just clear one thing up. Although the actual building is up for sale we are still trading as normal.

We have been really busy with personal callers into the shop, and I'm sorry I can't be there to meet you personally, but my loyal and talented staff are always on hand to advise and make recommendations for you. We have some new In-Store Offers including Buy 1 Get 1 Free, 3 for 2's, some specially hand selected packs; including packs of flowers at special prices. We have an amazing deal on peel offs and a special price on my DVD's of 3 for £12-50 or £5-00 each. We are also introducing a Weekly Special Offer which will run from Saturday to Friday or while stocks last. This week it is a set of my Acrylic Stamps and next week.... ooooh! Who knows what it will be! You'll just have to come along and see! Ha ha!

On-line, we have continued the free P&P and goody Bag for orders over £15. As promised the new Kanban Collections are up on the website and already you are loving them and they are selling as fast as we can put them up! We also have some really great card stock from Kanban for all you stampers out there! A4 in size and available in 3 colour choices, White, Cream and Black they come in packs of 10. Being plain and 230 GSM it's perfect for all stamping and colouring techniques. We also have some special offers for on-line customers. There are special hand selected packs for you at very special prices including Sukura Pens, Adhesives, papers etc. These types of packs will be added to the website periodically so make sure you keep an eye out for them! There's now a special section for them on the Website. Due to the recent popularity of the "Lucky Dips" we did on the Christmas Papers, we have decided to do more of them for you. The first to be added is a special Halloween one with a RRP of £10 and on offer for just £5-00. Again, we know that you love these packs and plan to do more of them for you but you have to keep an eye on the website for them!

Right, off to prep for tomorrow's shows. I'm on Create & Craft in my usual 2-4pm slot, 5pm and again at 7pm. I do hope that you can join me as I really do have some beautiful things to show you. Would you like a sneaky preview?..... okay but ssssh! Keep it to your self okay? Ha ha! Just a few items to look out for...I have some new stamps from Stampavie, and some amazing paper collections from Bo Bunny and TPC Studio. Oh and some decoupage and embellishments that I've decided I need! In fact, I need it all! Ha ha!

I do hope that you can join me, and again on Wednesday as I have shows on both Create and Craft as well as Ideal World. I'll be on Ideal World at 1pm-2pm and then on Create & Craft 4pm-5pm and 7pm-8pm.

It's been quite a long week this one, it's been 5 days this time as I started on Saturday instead of on the Sunday. I'm not too sure of my hours for next week yet but they will be posted onto my Website, Blog, Facebook and Twitter as soon as I know them.

Till next time, hope you have a great week!

Take care
Love

Gosh! by Dawn

Gosh I've had a busy week!

I'm thoroughly enjoying my new role at Create and Craft. It's such fun working with so many talented people and learning about new techniques. I recently had a lovely time with Sarah Milsop from Beaders Companion and made a pretty bracelet too!

I am shooting off on holiday in the morning but have popped into work and caught up with my "crafty crew" to bring you a few new goodies online as well as some special offers for personal callers or telephone orders which I can't wait to tell you about!

We have just received the brand new Tim Holtz 12x12 distress pad from Coredinations - it's a perfect match for all Tim's fabulous ink pads. Also Core Couture which has 20 sheets per pad and Graphic 45 "Timeless Collection" all of which are absolutely beautiful.

We have some very special offers for our on-line customers this month. We are doing random selections of 12" x12" papers with a choice of Christmas Red/Green or Christmas Blue/Green. They are a great bargain as all packs include 5 Best Creations "Flittered" paper plus 10 sheets of other Christmas papers which are of various designs. These packs are on sale on the website for half the Recommended Retail Price! We have managed to add some more Slice design cartridges to the sales section but this is the very last of our stock. We have also added some lovely items from K&Co and Prima at special reduced prices.

We are also pleased to announce that we have Tim Holtz Kraft Resist Sheets back in stock along with his Glass Vials, Blending Tools, Distress Stains Ink Pads and the extremely popular Tissue Tape!

We have added 5 more designs to the Stamps Sets from the extremely talented Sheena Douglass. We now have, Bah! Humbug! 1 and 2, Wouldn' It Be Lovely 1 and 2 and Stream Of Life. Where as we have sold the Pebeo Paints as sets, we are now selling the paints individually making it easier for you to stock up on the colours you use the most!

Don't forget we have extended the offers of free p+p on orders over £10 and on all orders over £15.00 you also receive a free gift.

So if you are in the Church/Oswaldtwistle area do please pop into the shop to take advantage of our huge clearance sale! Masses of ex-workshop products are now on offer and also from clearing out our prep rooms we have some random sized goody bags with prices from £4.00 . Plus lots of lines at 50% discount and buy 2 get 1 free.

Phew! Hope that you will find something to interest you and if you can't see what you are looking for on the website, please do give the shop a call as we probably have it in stock, just still haven't found the time to put it on line yet!

I will be at Doncaster Craft Show on July 16th & 17th so I do hope to see some of you there! It will be my first with Create & Craft so I am looking forward to seeing some new friendly faces, and reacquainting myself with some more familiar ones!

Have a wonderful week and look after yourselves.

Much love

Dawn
