Card Kits & Fruit Scoop

We have been very busy at the Hive this wek, trying to get the shop and workshop space looking prim, proper and blooming gorgeous, (well Julie & Debs have) I have been as is usual plugged in to my laptop, posting on forums, updating the website and generally catching up with all the things from when I was off last week (PaperWork Bllleeeeuurrgh)

Julie was very busy whilst I was away and has made up several excellent value kits for

Card Making,

These kits are great value you and include a book, all the decoupage sheets featured inside, backing papers, double sided tape and a glue stick for only £10 (the book alone retails at £8.25)

There is a limited number of these sort of kits available, which are available in store b ut I will try and get them on the website too (and as there is FREE P&P until 31st of May you could grab an extra bargainours bargain)/

We are putting together a Workshop/Class list for the next couple of months and have decided instead of the long workshops we will be running hour long Making Sessions more often where we complete a card or small projects or for example perfect our ProMarker Skin.

Holidays and Craft Space

Good Afternoon Bee Crafty'ers

How are we, well it's finally rained here in beautiful Warwickshire, had to be done otherwise we were destined to become a desert people :).

I (Bev) have been away for the last week in beautiful (but exceedingly windy Cornwall), it wasn't all bad Wednesday was absolutely stunning we could see (and could have walled if I felt the need) all the way around the by to St Ives

Believe it or not David and Abi are also in this picture, all the way down by the water getting water for Sandcastles.

Well we returned home and I am so happy to be back at Bee Crafty, I am so lucky too not everyone looks forward to work after a holiday but I do :).

Well after unpacking and washing (bleuurrrgh) I opened up my craft room and it turns out there are NO tidy up fairies for craft rooms, I left them a note and everything in the hope that in they would come and sort through the mounds of stash left, but alas no and this is how my craft room looks

So I am going to tidy it . . . YES I AM, you see if I keep saying it, it's possible it might just happen, I will upload photos to the Bee Crafty facebook page as progress is made and you can always post pictures of your craft space and we'll sort and tidy together, in fact lets all post pictures of our Craft Rooms/Space/Messy Drawers and we will have a prize draw at the end of the month :)

SO I will set up the album now and don't foget to load your picture :)

You've got to be in it to WIN IT!!!

Morning Campers

How are we all?

So then how do you fancy winning yourself a £30 goody bag from us?  On the Bee Crafty Website there are 30 Easter eggs on different pages and all you have to do is tell us how many you found and where!  You can email your entry or post it to us, this will then go into a draw for the goody bag.

Simple as that!!

Have any of you gone away for Easter? We have found the Craftwork Cards Collections have proved popular for a kit of bits to take away - largely because you don't need a massive amount of extras to go with them, just some cards and your tools really, though I can't go anywhere without some glitter!

The latest collection is Tres Chic....

I LOVE IT!!!

Bev said last week if I were a card collection this would be me - I love the pink and black combination!

If you want to have a look at the entire range - click here

We still also have some of the older collections if this isn't the one for you why not check them out here

I have spotted the sunshine trying to make a reappearance to hope you are all enjoying that too!

Take Care

Just a reminder....

....we are not open this Sunday!!!

The monthly crop for April is on Saturday for those of you that can join us, this is because it's mothers day on Sunday!!!

So how are you all?

Well with the help (she's actually really done most of it) of one of our lovely ladies, Debbie, we have had a bit of a move around in the shop, and more and more has been moved into the clearance section.  She's got us right organised, and we're also lucky enough to have had her join Bev at the Malvern Craft show and she will also be with us at the Motorcycle Museum in April.

The next evening crop will be NEXT Thursday - 7th April from 7 - 10pm call in or give us a call if you'd like to book in.

Oh and I wanted to point you in the direction of the Tuesday Challenge Blog too

Click Here

The Challenge blog is a great way to have a chance of winning some crafting goodies!!!  After all crafting for free has to be good crafting doesn't it!  Mum and Bev put up a new challenge every Tuesday - I think a well coined phrase is - you've got to be in it to win it, why not pass by and have a look!

Craftwork Cards

Good Evening Crafters,

Well as you may have seen we have been having some fab NEW projects in over the last few weeks. The trade show this year provided some fab NEW craft products and excellent suppliers that we are looking forward to working with in 2011.

One of ours and your favourites at the moment is Craftwork Cards. With an excellent range of high quality card making and craft products, we're looking forward to having more and more of their fantastic things this year,

As you may have noticed Bee Crafty has been stocking a NEW collection every month from Craftwork Cards and this month, there is a brilliant one.

There are some great products in this collections including papers, scalloped circles, mini messages and more, just have a look

P.S NEW fabby Challenge on the Challenge blog Live until 15th MArch

Croppy Croppers....

Hiya everyone

How are you all? well I hope?

Well tonight was the second evening crop of the year and I have to say - what a blast, we have laughed, laughed some more and done what croppers do.......drink tea, eat cakes and even a bit of crafting went on too!

So the evening crops are fortnightly on Thursday evenings and officially run from 7-10pm - however they have both started early so this is a trend that may continue.  Just £2.50 a crop and if you spend over £20 on the night then you get that refunded - as with all our crops tea and coffee is included.  We were lucky enough to be brought cakes tonight - a BIG thank you to Emma and there were lots of other goodies going round but I'm not sure who put those there - I was later arriving than everyone else so whoever it was THANKS xxx

The next Sunday crop is a week on Sunday - 6th March and I PROMISE to make cakes or a cake - dependant on my mood but there will definitely be one!  Spaces are limited so if you want one then please get it booked now either in store or online here it says 10-12noon on the website - not sure why but the crop as you will probably know runs from 11 - 4pm.

Lastly but by no means least we attended the annual trade fair last weekend and there are a few boxes with some very nice things winging their way to us shortly, keep your eyes peeled as soon as they are here I will most certainly let you know

take care
