Hi all Today marks the start of the new show season for us and we are about to pack the car so we can head off down the line!!! It also marks the start of Aly having to spend several long hours in the car with me... bouting out Abba, Boy George, Ronan Keating and Il Divo hits!!! If she is lucky she might get to sleep, if not she gets to hear me loud and clear, who envious of her right now!!! I / We have been totally overwhelmed by the support we have received for our classes at Senz this year - with four of the seven now sold out on day one- then we managed t secure a bigger classroom, and then we have been able put on secondary classes for two of them which is great! We are busy cutting all the stock for them - unlike most of the tutors, we have to manufacture almost everything we use in our classes - chipboard, MDF, Quote sheets, instructions etc and some of what the other tutors will be using in their classes too!  We have been busy ordering stock for Senz and will be bringing some new exciting products as well as some old favorites (like the glitter art glue!!!) which are finally back in stock after a long hiatus. Our make 'n' take has been designed for Pinkalicious and Senz so I am feeling extremely efficient at the moment!!! A first in a while... We are in Palmerston North this weekend forPinkalicious which runs from 10am-4.30pm this Saturday (20th May) at the Christian Community Centre. It is a Scrapbooking and Rubber Stamping fundraiser with entry costs $15.00 per person and all profits from the Door Sales, Auction and Raffle go to Arohanui Hospice. So if you are in Palmerston North on Saturday come along and see us! We look forward to catching up with you all, come and say hi if we are your way over the next few months at various locations - see a full list at the bottom of the newsletter of upcoming events, their locations and times the shop is closed.

Hi I hope you all had an awesome Anzac Day break. Most of my family braved the early morning chill for Anzac Day and headed off for dawn service - which they all thoroughly enjoyed. I must admit I made the choice to stay home, my extended family all moved out after 6 months of living in our house and I got to make a craft room! I know what you are thinking I have a whole shop to work in, but sometimes I have to go to work at the weekends because I have projects to finish, whereas I could stay home and work if it was all there.... well that is my excuse and I am sticking with it!! We are pleased that the Senz projects are all finished!!!! YEAH FINALLY ALL 7 OF THEM!!! I would love to give you sneak peaks of how amazing they are but not allowed to sorry!!!!
