New stuff....

Just because we did not already have enough stuff in the shop (NOT!), we have more coming. I'm excited about Basic Grey 'Curio' arriving this week - here's a preview...


And Cosmo Cricket 'Circa' also arrives this week - another heritage range which I think will be versatile....

And Becky Flecks new Page Maps will be turning up any day as well!


How will we ever be able to afford Christmas presents with all these yummy new goodies rocking up?! You could buy them for yourself for Christmas (just in case he doesn't)!
I have been scrapping like a mad woman - not for myself though - I am working on a commission album for a 21 year old guy. It's a challenge for sure, but Amy and I completed 17 layouts in 3 days - yeah I know we could have done better than that but it was all done between serving customers, and I taught at Newdegate for a day. Speaking of which, here is one of the layouts I did for the girls, using new Basic Grey 'Jovial' - love that range too...



That's all for today. Thanks for looking and thanks for the nice comments about Dean. I agree that we look alike but my eyebrows aren't as bushy as his in recent years! Check this out..it was taken in the 80's before waxing and plucking...

My spunky brother, Dean...

I have had a few comments about what a spunk my brother, Dean was lately. In the past I have shown photos mostly from when he got sick but in the layouts I am doing for his album I have been scrapping old photos of him - and I agree - he is a spunk! Check out this photo of him at Gayle Smith's wedding...



And I meant to show this photo power point of Dean at the retreat and forgot too - I'm disappointed I missed the opportunity but hopefully this link works and you can see what he was like...i laugh and cry when I watch this..you'll see why... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0E3LHQW0Ug&feature=player_embedded and there's a couple of other videos of dean here..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HydWAOOaVw and here...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36ccLJOUggM. Thanks for looking.

A new look...

Unpacking the shop after the retreat was a massive job but rewarding as we cleaned and sorted everything again. We have made some changes around the floor and the major change is putting paper racks against the wall and hanging products coordinating with the papers above. It look so much better and has got the thumbs up from those who have seen it so far. Here's a (not so good) pic of the wall...


We have a little more new stock in store, namely Lost and Found by My Minds Eye. This range is to die for and has something for everyone as there are both boy colours as well as girl colours. Here is the full range, of which we have quite a bit of.





Speaking of new ranges, I am in love with Sweetness by Pink Paislee which we got before the retreat and I am having my first play with it...will show the LO when it's done. Thanks for looking!
