Here we are in to September and I cannot believe how far along the year is already. Welcome to all the new people that have joined us on our newsletter and face book. Opening week went really well, and except for a flooding in the shop on Monday (yes it did) two buckets later... 6 towels (thanks Mother n law) we had it under control, not fixed but not going on the floor either.
Just when I though I was on top of all the jobs along came a nice little bug, and tried to lay me flat. Typical isn't it..one day fine, the next in front of TV watching back to back episodes of Criminal minds and CSI, with a little of The Block thrown in for a change of pace, husband cooked, healthy nutritious fish n chips so no wonder a week later I am still sick, no chicken soup in sight.
Thanks to everyone who has come to see us in the new shop, it has been really fun catching up with everyone. We have had a practice run at classes in there with some friends, and all went well. Those who have checked out the classroom, all agree it is a great area. Being out the back it means you can bring your slippers and really chill out and no one will see. The mens area now has fishing and car magazines, so no excuses for them to be bored. Although the last male that sat there, read the Woman's day magazine so I am really not sure that my choice of male magazines is right, there has been some other suggestions made, which I have chosen not to go ahead with. I am sure you know what I mean.
the eft pos is nearly sorted just waiting on the machine to arrive. Yeah finally.
Stock
We have received lots of new release papers in and more heading our way, Paper arts is in, and the rest any day. Kaisercraft is on its way as well.
Best product in this week! Easy as for me, white sharpies, yes white. They are amazing pens and are $5.50 each, great for mixed media canvas work, and for writing on black paper perfect, not boring, not dull, in your face WHITE love them.
