I got that Friday feeling . . .

Now not that one that's wehey it's the weekend, more of a What a week I could sleep for a month Friday feeling, it has been a bit of a mental one this week sometimes in a good way at other just me generally losing my mind :) Well I was a bit late adding things to the website today as I have been teaching this morning, CreaEasy chalking templates which is always good fun I love chalks I think it's because it's one of those colourings all of us have and none of use, so I like showing people what you can do with them, however I have managed to add the green crop a dile and the Fancy Pants Mulberry Road to the site which is groovy. I am going to have to apologise for any of my spelling mistakes I have had to retype the last couple of sentences about three times (including this one!). It's mum, ady and Laura in the shop tomorrow so if you can pop on and have a browse, I won't be here tomorrow as I am off to ALTON TOWERS woohoo, with Dave Sam Alex and Mark it's going to be so cool, I'm not even that bothered about going on anything I'm going to take loads of photos and scrap loads. Ooh for anyone who is popping in we have got loads of the Christmas peel offs in and we will be getting more of the Christmas stock in. Well I'm off as I've got to go to the doctors and get my blood pressure checked, I live a very stressful life dontcha know :)

See you soon

Chipboard Chipboard yummy chipboard.

Today we have added some more yummy chipboard including an extension to the big board range and some fab ATD alphas, PLUS a load more Perfect Pearls which are now at a much better price too, apart from that the paperwork is now getting dangerously high as I keep getting seduced away from my desk by the arrival of boxes (ooh love new stash) and I haven't had any chance to do any of my adverts yet so I'm just here to say don't forget the sketch and I have had a beautiful layout given to me today from Karen, who has got a fabby collagey style that I just can't do and I will get a piccie for you tomorrow, well I'd better go and get it done or I'll be in trouble with the boss (yeah right)anyway huns see you later

My get up & go got up & WENT!!

Go on who took it, I mean I'm shattered, which is not good as I have a paperwork pile as tall as I am (and yes that is quite difficult I'm not that short!)a pile of products the other side of me to be added to the web and I haven't done my copy for those ads yet. I have however added the fabby Paper Nation Pets and Senior Men to the site as we now have the full range of Paper Nation sheets, I will be updating the other pages periodically with all the backing papers as we didn't have them all but we do now and they are yummy PLUS we've had the christmas range in they are not on the site yet but I'm hoping to get that done this week too. Isn't this sunshine nice though, I tell you though I did feel cold last night don't know why probably just me. We've had loads of deliveries today as well which means a lot of counting and ticking, so I think the best thing to do is use some double sided tape to keep my eyes open, then again maybe not. So how are you all anyway, where are my sketch gallery entries, we really want to see your work I've already had e-mails from a couple of people saying they've done it but they don't think it's good enough for the site well what can I say except don't be so daft and send me the pictures. Well I've got some orders to pack and then I'll keep going with the website, as that is much better than paperwork and I'll start that with a fresh noggin tomorrow, hope you're all having a good day

The Sketch Gallery is Open

Okay ladies & gents the sketch gallery is Open and your first sketch has been uploaded and as you see it's a good un. This is a universal sketch that is great for cards and scrapbook pages which we think will be great for a bit of inspiration, we've added a couple of samples to the website including this fabby card. I want to see your work send it to me & don't be shy. It's been mental here today but I've got quite a bit done, booked some ads that I have to do copy for tomorrow but todya I have been concentrating mainly on the site and have put on blank books the gorgeous Fancy Pants wildheart and some BG magnetic closures, which is great but see finding all the picture for some of the products its a bloomin nightmare, right I have to go for a last dash to the Post Office.

See you later peeps & get crafting

Byyeeeee

Pinch, Punch

Afternoon my bloggy friends, how are you all now the thunder has gfone and the Sun has finally reared it's head. I know where have you been you cry, well you'll be delighted to know I've been sorting and arranging the sketches adding a fabby paper range to the site and doing posters and applications form for a Saturday vacancy we have going. I'm really sorry I didn't post yesterday but the shop is manic and trust me my day was not made easier when the thunder started (mum hates in and hides away). PLUS I've done two orders for suppliers (fabby stuff coming) and mum's done two aswell so we've got loads arriving soon. I've got loads of products to scan and then turn into indicidual pictures for the web too which takes aaaagggggeeeeessssss, but it's well worth it in the end, so what have you all got planned for the weekend, I just see lots of paint in my future, my lovely OH has sanded and done two coats of gloss on all the upstairs woodwork and the bannister and is tonight staring downstairs then we can paint the walls (by the way I use the term we VERY loosely :) ). However I am in the shop tomorrow with mum so stop by and say hello and have a mooch and don't forget the shop is Open on Sunday of this week as there is the Scrapbooking Crop on. Might leave you a post tomorrow if not I'm sure Mum will post over the weekend.

Picture it with me . . .

I woke up this morning and thought yay me and Sam in the shop today (Sam's my little big sis) VAT's done invoices are done I can spend the day adding to the site and yeah can be hard work but that'll be relaxing, because although Sam herself is a complete and utter loony tune, she's great fun and always positive, so has the day been relaxing I think NOT! It's been relatively manic here today so I've been rushing in and out plus there is a burst water main in the car park whicjh isn't causing massive problems but it is causing a loud high pitched humming in the pipes above us in the workshop, which is fine in the shop because you can't hear it but it's busting my noggin in here, and isn't this rain becoming a nightmare but I have to say it's actually all my fault, you see three weeks ago Dave and me bought a barbecue and patio set and that's when the weather changed you see so I can only assume it's me saying that when isn't it :)I apologise that the meet the team page isn't up and running yet I hope to get it done soon, but everytime I take my camera out of my bag everyone runs, what's all that about? Anyway I'd better go and get some more done.

Byyeeee

P.S Nearly forgot, the picture is of a fabby paper flower made using the Anna Griffin Template set we've just had in & we've also got the new Scrapbook Inspirations, Making Cards & Papercraft Essentials incase anyone fancies some reading material whilst they're hiding from the rain.

Chuddies..............

If anyone is ever thinking of starting their own business please remember that VAT is the ultimate pain in the CHUDDIES!!! I've been working on it for ages and it's one of those things where you know as soon as you've sent it the next one'll be coming through the door, but it's all okay really, had quite a good day invoices are inputted which means the depth of paper on my desk has significantly decreased, which is woozy groovy. What is with this weather though you think it's fine then SPLOOSH!! you get soaked :). Well due to VAT and invoices haven't added much to the web yet today will try and get some more done this afternoon, but for those of you who come here first and not the site, we have extended the bank holiday offers on the Cricut & Silhouette, so if you've been thinking of getting one do it now and save yourself some dosh (to spend on other stash of course :) ) So what did you all get up to over the Bank Holiday, I spent the majority perched on me butt, however we did go and order the carpet for the stairs and landing (I tell ya I live the life of a ROCK STAR!) Okay my lovelies I'm going to get back to the grindstone and keep those sketches coming they're fab.

Thanks

Pants....................................

Well it is...................the weather I mean. Typical bank holiday. You promise yourself your gonna do loads and look what happens..............................

Well did'nt want to go gardening really or shopping or out for a ride in the car. Have I convinced myself yet...... nope!

I hope you've all had a better day and if not managed to get some crafting of some sort or another done. I've got a couple of circle journals to do and some pictures that really need put onto layouts. Also the Sketch Challenge is just about ready to post on the site so keep your eye's open, should be good fun and I'm sure everyone is looking forward to seeing other peoples take on the sketches.

Take care and have a good day tomorrow what ever you get up to.
