A Sea of White

is what we woke up this morning- it was unexpected as the forecast had said light rain - did it matter ? ,yes it did we had a crop planned but it had to be hastily cancelled as three to four inches fell in the space of about 20 minutes making it impossible to see the roads, as the day has progressed it has melted a little fingers crossed it is gone in the morning.

I forgot the camera to take pics of the Valentine's Kit - Hopefully my brain cell will remember on Friday!. The snow has nearly all gone now and the shop pavement and car park is safe to walk on - no more slipping and sliding.

I put out some lovely valentines themed stock today - although most of it can be used for other projeCts too, and they look fanatastic when teamed up with the gorgoeus Bo Bunny Persuasion range.

Naked chipboards hearts - use with ink, paint, glitter , stamps , emboss or leave naked!

Man & Woman - I made a card with them today and they hold hands!!
Great sheets of stickers and we also have the co-ordinating chipboard.

Back to it!

with a little coaxing this morning my little car made it off the drive and we headed to the shop - we are offically back and open! - apologies for missing the last Midday Monday - the next one will be on January 25th - 10am till 12 - £3 inc tea and biscuits - no formal lessons just come along and rummage in our box of stash and make a few cards.

Take one stamp class is tomorrow - we have places if you want to come along- please take care if you are visiting this Saturday although the roads are passable the car park is still piled with snow that is now melting into a slushy slippy mess.

The sale is in full swing- stock up! there are some great products on offer.

Our next Crop is the 31st of January (replaces the earlier Jan one that we cancelled due to bad weather), booking essential. I am busy putting together our Valentine's section - lots of pink and red themed goodies for making cards, mini books or scrapbook pages, we will have some great value kits available- I will pop back on monday with a picture and full details.

Then it is onto Mother's Day & Easter , guess what it will soon be Chrsitmas!.

The rest of our weekend will be spent in DIY flatpack hell - ikea have finally delivered 12 boxes today, it is the first day they could get down our road since the snow! - let's hope all the pieces are there!.

Snow

although today I think we could make it out as the road was gritted a little bit yesterday I'm not sure my little car would stay on the road without sliding down a big ditch. Apologies if you have come to the shop and we were not there - as more bad weatehr is predicted we are cancelling tomorrows crop - I will re arrange for later in the month and the shop will open again on Friday 15th Januray - the great buy one get one free sale will now of course run to the end of the month to give everyone a chance to stock up on a baragin or two before more new stock is put out.
