"Hello Again..." by Dawn
Hello Everyone,
I stayed on for a few extra days and had some fun sightseeing in Hollywood and Beverly Hills. I did post some photos on my Facebook and Twitter pages so if you haven't already seen them, please follow the links. Here:- Facebook & Twitter.
Anyway back home to the cold and check into my shop, its been really busy with lots of bookings for the forthcoming workshops.
Sorry for the silence; been having some "me" time.
Well what a wonderfully crazy time I had over in California on a recent visit to CHA with Create and Craft! We were on the hunt for fabulous new products and we certainly found them! Obviously I can't talk too much about the trip, but I can tell you it was a hugely successful and watch this space as you are going to be seeing lots of big name brands with beautiful new lines over the coming months.
We were kept really busy the whole time we were there as there was so much to see, however it was also lovely to catch up with all my friends in the craft industry even if it was sadly only briefly!

It's been another fast paced week at this end - Just two days at home and then back again to Peterborough; but then isn't it always a case of having to play catch-up for a while before you get back into a regular routine after a few days away.
You may remember me mentioning that I have been nominated for a couple of awards in this years Crafts Beautiful Awards.

The mini tree lights and boxes of mini bells have been really popular and for adding snow to your projects the Stellar Flash gilding flakes is the perfect thing and we now have this item available in tubs for just £2.50 each.We also have the gorgeous new Christmas stamps from Sheena Douglass and Stampendous while in store we also have cute Christmas single stamps for an amazing price of £1.25 each!
Embossing folders and gilding flakes have proved to be the best selling items this week - along with the texture sponges which are a must have for that professional finish.Please remember that if you do not see what you are looking for on the website, please call the shop as we probably have it available but haven't put it on line yet!
We are more than happy to take your order over the telephone or offer you advice. The number to call is:- 01254 356501

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

"It's Been Quite A Week!" by Dawn
Well, it's been quite a week hasn't it!
Firstly; thank you so much for your lovely messages and Emails of good wishes for my debut show. Thank you also for watching it!
I'm used to people blaming me for always keeping them poor because they spend so much on crafting materials; now I'm having to get used to being blamed for bringing down Ideal World/Create & Craft websites and phone system! Ha ha!
As you may know because so many people were unable to get their orders through, I did the shows again the next day, same products but with Debbie instead of Leonie. That was a little surreal in itself, but then, at the end of the second show, poor Debbie's back seized up and with no one to cover for her, I went on to present the first 10 minutes of the 5pm show until Debbie was able to return! Talk about a baptism of fire!
It was fun though and everyone at Ideal World gave me such a lovely warm welcome that I already feel like part of the team and not so much the new girl any more!
It's been a busy week at Topaz too - personal callers into the shop have been greeted with new bargains every day as the massive clear out continues!
The charity "Goody-Bags" are still proving extremely popular and our thanks go to those who are helping to raise money for such a worthy cause.
On-line, we have extended both the FREE P&P for orders over £10 and the FREE gift on all orders over £15.
There are new items coming in over the next few days so keep your eyes open for new collections from Kanban and Craftwork Cards and we are pleased to report we are also increasing the range of the ever popular Card Candi available to buy in the on-line shop!
In the "Reduced Item" section we have added some more items including, to name just a few, Slice Design Cards (inc some MS+ ones), my DVDs are now all £5-00 and we have some Kanban foiled inserts on offer for £2-00 for a pack of 20.
Still proving extremely popular with our customers are the amazing Paint Fusion Stamps and the sets of paints to use with them, Sheena's lovely "A Little Bit Sketchy" Stamps, Kanban Toppers, Card Candi (we added a dozen new collections today and have more coming!) The Floral Jumbo Clings from Stampendous, Craft Concepts Embossing folders, Dreamweaver Stencils, Prima and Petaloo Flowers, Collall Photo Glue and last but not least, the set of 2 "Pokey Tools" we sell!
My next appearance on Create & Craft is on June 14th but I am not sure of the hours at the time of writing this. I will let you know in the next newsletter.
Until then - Thank you for your continued support for both myself personally and for Topaz Crafts.
Much Love,
Dawn

Happy Royal Wedding Day!
Happy Royal Wedding day!
I hope you have all enjoyed following the big event today!
As my shop is closed for the occasion, I have been watching the day unfold at home - while also preparing for my workshop tomorrow.
It's been wonderful to see all the gorgeous outfits and posh hats! I thought Princess Catherine and bridesmaids looked incredible! Prince William and Prince Harry were so smart too. It has been such a lovely, and much welcomed event for our country after so many recent sad and trying times. I was quite surprised to see the Queen in yellow, but must say she looked very nice!
This afternoon I'm off out to celebrate in a local village called Whalley that are having a street party and fayre to celebrate. I'm sure many of you are celebrating across the country too. Let's hope the weather stays kind!
As you know, I wasn't on television this week and it has enabled me to spend time in my shop, which has been lovely! Once again we have been very busy with lots of new lines arriving! We have managed to get a few online for you - some lovely flowers from Prima, and now, finally, my Black Lace Collection is up in the online shop for you to see! There are more DB Collections to follow shortly.
We have also just received Kanban's new "Floral Tapestry Collection". These are now available in store but no images yet online (hopefully we'll have that up for you next week) but do please call the shop if you are looking for anything specific and can't see it on the website. As I said before, we probably have it in stock, we just haven't had time to put it onto the website yet! We are more than happy to take your call whether to offer advice or to take your order by phone.
The new Andy Skinner and Lindsay Mason stamps are going down a storm! In fact Lindsay is in my shop teaching on Sunday (1st May) - I believe a few spaces are still available. So please call 01254 356501 if you fancy making a few cards with one of the industry's finest! Lindsay's workshops are always great fun!
Speaking of our May workshops; Sheena's Saturday "Paint Fusion" classes on May 28th have sold out so by popular demand we have changed the afternoon workshop on May 29th to an additional "Paint Fusion" class. The morning workshop of "A Little Bit Sketchy" will remain unchanged. If you would like to book a place for either, or both of the Sunday events, please call 01254 356501.
If you are around Lancashire this weekend, and are near my shop, please pop in for a complimentary cuppa and a browse. I will be there myself both Saturday and Sunday and would love to meet you, so come and say hello!
Please do keep checking the website as we are constantly uploading more products and remember P&P is free and we are currently giving a free gift to all orders placed online that are over £15.
Well, enjoy the rest of the day folks!
Take care,
Dawn xx
