Happy New Year!!!!

Hi Everyone

Happy New Year to you all may it be a prosperous and crafty one for each and everyone of us!!!

So then how was it....hope you all survived.

Well we are getting back into the swing of it, decorations are down workshop timetable is up!!! As you may know we run various workshops on a weekly basis and you can find the list of whats up and coming here you can book online or in the shop so give us a call!!

It's our Scrapbooking Crop this weekend - Sunday the 11th January. For those of you who haven't been before we run a very informal crop every month - normally the 1st Sunday of the month (later this month as its January). The times are from 11-4pm and the shop is open for the day too so not only can you crop you can shop too!!! The nice thing is that with the bunch of people there you can bounce idea's off each other and if there is anything you need plenty of advice on hand!!! Just £5 for the day and you can book over the phone 01386 831123.

The SALE is still on it ends on the 17th of January so plenty of time to get your bargains in!!!

Well I'll leave you with that for now.

Take care and as always anything you need give us a call.

10 Sleeps!!!!!!

Morning!!!!!

So how are we all this morning - mad dashing about getting the last few bits and pieces or so organised that you are just chilling out?

As I have mentioned the January sale has already started here at Bee Crafty with a discount of 10% off everything. We have also made the discount on ALL CHRISTMAS STOCK 40% OFF however this is IN STORE ONLY so come and grab yourself some bargains.

As always this time of year can be popular for Gift Vouchers and whilst they are normally in denominations of £5 they can be of any amount for Christmas - for example its 2008 if you wanted to give £20.08 then that is absolutely fine - just give us a call on 01386 831123 to discuss your requirements - this goes for anything not just the Gift Vouchers lol.

The full list of opening hours over the Christmas period will be on the website shortly however i thought I would let you know that the published opening hours for Christmas Eve are 9.30am until 2pm, I must stress that if you need us to be here any earlier or later then call up and let us know because it is absolutely no problem.

As we move into the New Year a new workshop list is in the making. Workshops vary from 2 hours to a full day dependant on the subject. They can be booked online or in store and as always give us a call if there is a particular subject that you would like to cover - the more notice we have the better as we can then spend the time trying to fill the extra spaces for you.

Well I'll leave it there for today, hope you're all having a great day.

Take Care

16 days to go!!!!

Good morning

Well just 16 days to go until Christmas ladies and gentlemen! Are you all ready and prepared?

Here at Bee Crafty we had a busy weekend - the park on which we live had a Christmas Fair - Santa popped in too!! Yesterday was our monthly crop so the shop was very lively with lots of giggles and laughter - not sure how much scrapping got done though lol. THE JANUARY CROP WILL NOT BE THE 1ST SUNDAY OF THE MONTH BUT THE SECOND WHICH IS SUNDAY THE 11TH OF JANUARY. Our crops are very informal - lots of tea, biscuits and chatter - but also with a great bunch of people with a wealth of experience, it's a wonderful opportunity to meet up with people who have the same aim - to preserve the wonderful memory of the photo's we take in a more detailed way. If Scrapbooking is something you are interested in but have not yet taken the leap then either call into the shop or call/email us for advice - only too happy to help.

As I mentioned last week the sale is on now at Bee Crafty - with a minimum 10% off all stock and much more off other things. Don't forget your promotional code of JAN09 to get your discount.

From January we will have a new workshop list so if there are any projects/topics you are keen to learn about please let us know and we will incorporate it into the programme.

I shall leave you with that now - hoping you all have a wonderful day!

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry :)

Godd evening all,

Okay so I am officially rubbish, I have abandoned the blog of late and I should have my butt kicked. However there has been a lot going on at Bee Crafty.

Oooooh and Abi has cut her first tooth which is so exciting, I was so proud of her which I know sounds really daft but I was Hee Hee.

Anyway back to the shop Christmas has been booming in the shop for well over 8 weeks now and there is more to come, a gorgeous new range by Basic Grey is on the way and there is some gorgeous products in.

Right and on to the Christmas Open Day which is only a week on Saturday, we are going to be showcasing (is that the right word NO IDEA), we are having Kayleigh in using the Zig Calligraphy pens and she's bringing with her some fantastic new metallic calligraphy's which will really had a touch of pizazz to cards & tags.

Ady will be doing some fantastic things with stamps, using medallions the Christmas Cute Companions, colourings and some fancy tags and possibly lanterns. Well lets just say she's got loads in the pipeline and I think she's just having fun getting all the samples ready and every time she does she gets a new idea and decides something else to her demo, so what I will say is if there is something you really fancy learning on the day et her know and I'm sure she'll show you.

Like Ady Sam & Julie (mother)are having a whale of a time coming up with make & take samples for the open day, the problem with that is that they are still coming up with them and there is only s many we can do so they will have to fine tune it down.

Now I am going to be doing glass baubles, these look beautiful when done make a great Christmas gift addition. Using Mica powders and glass baubles to make individual baubles to make your Christmas tree and decorations or that of your friends an family.

So again I am so sorry but I hope that's given you enough to take on for the next few days ~and I will get back to you when there is new goodies in the meantime.

Saturday 8th November - Christmas Open Day

Bye Bye

Sugar Craft & Kelly Panacci Holiday Collection

There is a 4 week course on Sugar Craft now available for booking.

It will be running on Monday evenings for 4 weeks 7pm - 9pm and it is to make this absolutely beautiful C Spray.



You can book here

And for the paper crafters, let's face it there is denying it Christmas is upon us. I popped into Tesco after work tonight and notice the aisle as I walked in was empty, and I have this funny feeling when I go in to do my shopping next week there will be Christmas Crackers.

Now you may think I'm just telling you this to be mean, but guess what I'm not.

I'm doing it to tell you about the beautiful new Christmas Collection. It's called the Holiday Collection from Kelly Panacci. It is a lovely combination of sage greens, dusky reds, smokey blues & creams.




There are 12 12x12 Papers, Cardstock Stickers, 5 Essentials Accents and a stunning chipboard medley and minibook kit.

Have a look and let us know what you think, I really think it has enormous potential for card makers, scrapbookers and those of us that like to make those extra special things for Christmas like ornaments, altered books and art.

Thanks for having a look and I'll try and bring you some more later in the week
