A very exciting week ahead!

Hi Crafters
Thank you once again for all your support. I will be back on air this Wednesday with a fab Cuttlebug POTD.
Jinger will do the launch and the IW shows and I will be on C&C at 12pm and 3pm. So tune in it is a fab product.
I have to let you in on my other news too..... yesterday I brought a new addition into my family. His name is Pip and he is a beautiful puppy. If any of you remember the Sooty shows, then he looks just like Sweep. he is soooooo cute I will post a photo soon.

Will be back on air after Wednesday on the 17th August with HOTP, Stampavie Christmas and Jones Tones.


Hope you have a good week and let me know what you would like to see demo wise on the blog.

Back in the Office at last!!!!

Hello everybody,
It seems like an age since I was in the office and able to update my Blog. I was down at Ideal World for eight days and had a great time. The Pick of the Week went really well and I just love the Cricut Imagine. It really is Fab! The other shows I did were great too. We had sell out on the Ek Success Punches, which is not surprisig as they are THE BEST PUNCHES on the market in my humble opinion.
I loved doing the samples for the Stampavie show. I must have spent about 75 hours the week before prepping the shows and I was really pleased with the finished result. As I type this they are being photographed and will on here later. If you have any questions about them then please contact me through the Blog.
Hot off the Press shows were like going back in time to the start of my obsession with paper. They were the first products I ever used for Scrapbooking and it was wonderful to go down memory lane. I have to say that the level of quality and instruction in their kits is truly amazing and I will be back on air with them this Tuesday 2-4pm.
I will also be doing another Jones Tones hour at 7pm. The response to the fabric paint was great and hopefully will get a regular slot on Create and Craft.
I am excited to tell you that the Heat and Bond, which is the product you need to put onto the back of your fabric to be able to cut it on your Cricut machines, will be back in stock and on the 7pm show on Tuesday.
I will also be back on air on the 20th and 21st with more shows for Bramwells and I also have more Cricut shows scheduled in so watch this space.

If you have any questions then please just ask. I have worked out how to use my new phone now so I will be able to update my Blog now whilst I am on the move... Not literally though.

Hope you all have a fab weekend

Take care

Good Morning 15.5.2011

Good morning
Sorry there has been no update last week. The blog was down!!!
Well after a very busy week last week,I am in the office this morning sorting out our shows for Create and Craft. I am sooooo excited that we have been given the distribution of Stampavie. I have ordered my stamps... all 67 of them!!! Obviously I need more stamps...like a hole in the head, but when you see them you will understand why I NEEDED them! Check out the designs on our website.
So I will be doing shows with them at the end of June. We will let you know the dates when they are confirmed.
Going back to C&C this week to do Cricut shows on Thursday at 1pm,3pm and 6pm. They will also include the|Gypsy, which I have to say is fabulous!!! It is one of those things that I didn't think I needed until I was given one to play with and now I use it everyday.
I will also be doing the Pick of the Day on the 24th. So for all you Cricut lovers out there watch this space!
I am really excited to be bringing Hot off the Press shows to you as well. This is the company that got me scrapbooking in the first place so it is like stepping back 15 years, but in a good way.
Also I will be doing shows with Jones Tones fabric paint. It is an amazing product that works on any fabric. It is fully machine washable,tumble dry and dryclean and it stretches so you don't get any cracking. I used to manufacture garments for wholesalers with this product before I discovered paper and if any of you have ever seen my Cricut t-shirt then that is what I used to paint it.
I am also at Inspirations on Friday for their open event. If you get chance to go it should be a great few days, Thursday- Sunday with lots of different demonstrations going on.
Well better get off and plan the shows.
If you would like any videos filming for any of our products please let us know and we will do our best to create them for you for inspiration.

Have a good week

Happy crafting
