WELCOME BACK

Hi Friends and Crafters,

We were back last night at the Rayleigh Mill and it was lovely to see our Friends again ,and also welcome our New Ladies, Lesley, Jess ,Joan.Kath and Jo, We made 4 Cards and sold loads of kits Thank you to you all.

Next week we will be using our Pens, for one of the cards so if you have pens and want to bring them please do, If there are any you need to add to your collection if you phone the shop I can bring them with me.

I will try to put the cards on here by the weekend so that if you didnt manage to finish then it may help.

In the shop we are full on nearly all the card clubs but if you phone and we have a space we can arrange something.We now have the fine tip nibs for the Pro-markers we sold out the first lot in 2 days, so we have a mega stock which arrived yesterday but having sold a few packs at the club and also the shop I dont think they will last long. Also available are the 4 sets of Flexi Markers which we are doing fantastic savings on Only while stocks last!!


If youre off to Ally Pally this weekend enjoy See you soon Sue

UPDATE

Hi All,

Well just to bring you all up to date, We are RESTARTING the Classes at the RAYLEIGH MILL on 21st Sept 7.30pm till 9.30pm COST £6.50 make 3 cards.

Parking is free after 7pm

Please ring the shop 01268 571688 and confirm you will be attending,so we have enough kits etc.Just to remind you it is a CARD CLUB and therefore to keep prices down we ask that you try to attend on a Regular basis as this is what keeps the Club open, Obviously we all go on holiday or have commitments or are unfortunately ill from time to time and we understand that, but we do not RUN the CLUB to make money ,Yes we promote the shop and sell items and kits, but the £6.50 just pays the room hire and sometimes only covers the kits,tea and coffee.
We are a friendly group who use the evening to make new friends, Make 3 or more cards and have a social Evening out with like minded people,
Lessons where you do themed cards and Techniques are done at the shop and are £10 for half day £18 Full day.

Hi Everyone,
Due to the success of my Colouring techniques class In which we coloured 3 images and made them into cards (all for £10) we are now planning another class but using different images. The date for this half day class is Friday July 8th.

We have an all day class on Sunday 31st July which is Now FULL e will colour 5-6 images using the LETRASET PRO-MARKERS and make these into cards for £18.

The Next class is Friday 29th JULY either A.M /P.M.or all day and also SAT 30th July
There are still a few spaces remaining on both these days.

These are the cards we did on Thursday morning The Ladies picked which 3 they made and due to the comments thoroughly enjoyed themselves.The Red LOTV image is the image I coloured on my LOTV colouring class in Ashford where we were given the kit to complete the card at home, so although I coloured it all credits go to LOTV.

BACK IN THE SWING OF THINGS

Hi Everyone

Sorry for the absense of Posts lately but I have been adjusting my life these last 15 weeks.
Anyway we are back on track ,The Classes are proving really popular with our Ladies and judging by their Feedback the Best Value all round (probably why we are now totally full on Mondays) Tuesday is also proving popular with new faces appearing in the shop daily!! I must be doing something right at last!

Well I feel that although I still have low days in myself Shane is pushing me on to keep my chin up and (Get my act together as he used to say ) I miss him so much....... But I'm throwing myself in to what I do best and I feel positive at long last.

There is new stock in at last with more to come, and there are some changes.

THE CAFE at the Garden Centre is now under NEW MANAGEMENT again from Next week.
THE Windows and Conservatories are under NEW MANAGEMENT and POP in and PAINT and DIZZY DI are now in more.

THE GARDEN CENTRE itself has had a big change round with lots of new stuff including loads of sheds .

WE ourselves are still closed on WEDS due to our classes at the RAYLEIGH MILL but for the time being we are CLOSED on SUNDAYS just so I can catch up on things at home.

We are Still open 10am to 4.30 and will try to keep this more up to date with pictures of cards we have made on our classes.

BRENDA our PARCHMENT and PERGAMANO tutor still teaches for us so if you fancy learning something new this year give us a ring . See you Soon Sue

UPDATE
