newsletter update for October

Hi everyone, I thought I was in so much trouble! Hope your week has been a good one, and you have made it through safely.  The All Blacks are busy playing this morning, and I am banned from watching it, as I seem to be a bit of a jinx, and hubby didn't want to take any chances. Well as the heading says I thought I was in heaps of trouble with an email from MAF (ministry of  AG & Fisheries) to ask why I was importing deer antlers.  I was shocked, I thought someone was using my name, business etc, until I checked the invoice and realised that it was in fact my new Tim Holtz resin antlers, With a lot of relief we were able to get that mess cleared up.  In the meantime my order is stuck somewhere awaiting final clearance.  .   Alysha has been busy designing all our new invitation range.  She has put them up in the shop, and they will be going live on our new website soon.  Check out her new facebook page https://www.facebook.com/imagineifcreativestudios   Saturday October 31st:  MDF Gingerbread house $40.00 This picture is from the children's class, but we are still waiting on stock due to MAF and customs issues, should have it finished but ..... this is to give you an idea.
