Happy New Year!

Hello, and a Happy New year to everyone!
We have lots to look forward to in 2011 with lots of lovely new stock on it's way, new opening hours, an online shopping cart on the website (in progress) and five 'From Picture to Page' shows throughout Victoria - busy busy busy!!
In amongst all of this chaos, we are re-organising our class scheduling to include more evening and weekend classes, with lots more scrapbooking and 'off the page' projects as well as new designs for cards and some regular beginner card and layout classes with Rosemary.
We also welcome on board Kristy - a very talented lady (who is the glitter fairy in disguise me thinks!!) and a very clever scrapper.
Classes will resume in earnest in February, although we do have a few classes for January which will be posted on the web early next week including some kids classes to keep your crafty offspring occupied once they get bored with their christmas pressies!
We apologise for the late organisation of January classes as both Karen and myself are slightly indesposed at present - Karen has recently had a knee operation and is still not fully recovered and I have completely wrecked my knee and am having a reconstruction due to a sporting injury! (Note to self - stop messing about on trampolines with eleven year olds!) We are both hobbling around in the shop so please bear with us.
Exciting Stock news!!! We now stock Gorjuss Girls and Sugar Nellie Stamps - direct from the UK. We have a few designs in store and have the next shipment arriving shortly, those along with the Magnolia Designs and the CC Designs make the store a Copic Addicts Haven!!!! Lots of things to colour in. Look out for Rosemary's Copic 102 class in February along with a re-run of the Copic 101 class to learn lots of tips and techniques to get the most from your pens. We also have 36 new colours in the ciao range coming soon.
New albums - we now have a FANTASTIC brand new range of albums from W.A. in the store. We have stitched box style albums for Wedding/Babies etc and some gorgeous tooled leather albums great for Family History or Male Albums along with a few other designs. These are gorgeous - I couldn't help myself and bought loads!
Also in is a brand new range of foiled and glittered papers (12") with an all over design so it is great for cards and invitations as well as for fabulous wedding/dance/prom style layouts too. Come down and check it all out - we re-open on Tuesday 3rd January when our trading hours then return to normal after the christmas break.
See you all soon, Maxine & Karen.
