New Workshop List

The new workshop list for the next four month session is now available. You can pick up a copy in the shop or print it off from the website. Some of the samples will be in the shop over the next week to give you a flavour of what’s planned.

Booking will be taken from Saturday 5th September. Check out the gallery for some of the samples (Workshops Sept to Dec 2009).

Demonstration Day

We plan to have our next demonstration day on Saturday 7th November. Tracy Dowie is back in action after badly breaking her ankle earlier this year. Many of you will remember Tracy from previous demo days we’ve had. She always has some lovely ideas to inspire us. This time she will be using Christmas papers and embellishments from the new Bo Bunny ranges.

Tracy has also been busy setting up her own little on-line stamp company. If you like cute stamps then check out her website at www.squigglestamps.com . I particularly like the little dragon boy!

New Workshop List

The new workshop list will be available in the shop next week and on the website by Saturday 29th August.

We will be taking bookings from Saturday 5th September. This session will be predominantly Autumn and Christmas themed projects. As well as cards we will be making pictures, gift ideas, Christmas decorations and other decorative items. As soon as samples are finished we will display them in the shop and on the website. So there should be something to tempt you.

Christmas Workshop

We are now taking bookings for this year’s Christmas workshop. We have already filled about 20 places. So if you are interested please phone or call in to the shop. Application forms are in the shop.

Christmas 2009 All Day Workshop

We have a date and a venue booked for our Christmas One Day Workshop. The date is Sunday 4th October at the Dewars Ice Rink. The cost will be in the region of £60 a head. This will include a set of clear Christmas stamps by SEI, materials for the projects and lunch of soup and sandwiches, tea and coffee. We hope to have the full information and booking forms in the shop by the end of the week once I have final costings. We are taking provisional bookings just now for anyone interested. Please phone on 01738 638833.

We have booked the Gannochy suite at Dewar’s which is a lovely big bright room. So hopefully the lack of space issue from last time won’t be a problem this time. The tutors will be as last time : Jean, Irene, Liz Young and myself. I was really pleased with the ideas they all came up with last year. This year’s stamp choice is beautiful as are the range of papers that go with it. So I am confident we will be able to offer a nice range of projects to give you a head start with this year’s Christmas preparations.
