NEW SHOP!!

 

Hiya All!!

Just a quick post to keep you up to date :o)

By now you probably all know we are moving into Wickford.  It's going to be great - bigger shop, two floors but best of all our own toilets and hot water!!!! Hooray!!!!

Seriously though... it's going to give us the opportunity of stocking a wide range of goodies and being able to display it properly so that you can all see what you MUST HAVE lol !!  As yet we don't have a moving date but if you check back here regularly I will keep you posted on everything that is happening.

We are going to be situated in the Ladygate Centre in Wickford Town Centre, just beside Somerfield and opposite Choice (see pics on the right) which is walking distance from Wickford mainline station, on lots of bus routes and for those of you who drive, you get 1.5 hours free parking in Somerfield, free parking all day Saturday in the main car park and if you just need to "pop in", behind the church there is a car park that is just 20p for half an hour.  

If you live outside of Wickford here is a map to give you an idea of where we will be

Cant wait to see you all there

Bye for now

NEW PRODUCTS JUST IN!!

Hi Everyone!!

Just thought I'd pop by and show you what i've been playing with.  On Friday we had a delivery from Kanban and lots of new goodies arrived - I pinched a few lol and have made a couple of cards to show you.

This card was made using the new range Wooly Bear - Girls on the Move - in the kit you get a sheet of die cut toppers and an A4 sheet of matching card - I have also used some of the new 10p card that has just come in to make the inside special too - and I still had this over for more cards

Next is a similar kit - this time - Football Mad - once again you get a sheet of die cut toppers and an A4 sheet of matching card - this time I used the matching card and folded it to make the base card, matted and layered some bazill card and added some ribbon.

Although I've no card left I still have toppers left for other projects

With both cards I have made my own card candy by cutting 1/4" circles with a plier punch and embossing them from the back to make them "domed" and attaching them with a foam pad - I think this just finishes them off

Hope you like them and thanks for looking :o)

Lots of Love
