March 2010 Newsletter

NEWS - Coach Trip – You may have heard that Farnborough was cancelled on the Sunday due to a severe weather warning which failed to materialise!! If you were booked onto the coach you will of course get a full refund, however as so many customers were disappointed we are planning to go to Ali Pali, Big Stamp and Scrapbook Show on Sunday 11^th April.   Adult = £16.00, Senior = £15.00 return travel including entry. We pick up as usual in Langney at 7.45am and Hailsham at 8am and aim to be home between 6 – 6.30pm. Check this link for exhibitors’ details.  http://www.bssbs.co.uk/exhibitors/index.php

Coming soon – A new selection of beads will be here soon, as well as new stamps as promised. We have a good choice of die-cut decoupage for Easter as well as peel-offs. We are doing printed inserts now and if we haven’t got one you want we can do them for you.

Creative Beads & Jewellery is a new magazine from the same people who do Creative Cardmaking and will only be available in good craft and bead shops. The launch edition goes on-sale on 9^th April and is £3.99. Articles include:-  a project using Memory Wire and how to make the most of it, introduction to paper beads - how to create them plus projects incorporating them, the tools of the trade/bead glossary/techniques/findings, using Stampbord to create jewellery, quick tricks with readymade beads and wire and how to create unique items on a budget. Please let us know if you’d like one reserved.

Workshops – We have several new workshops including beading and jewellery, and more advanced Parchment craft.  I’m sure you’ve seen everyone using Promarkers so come and see what all the fuss is about at our FREE demonstration on 27^th March.

Easter closing – We will be closed on Good Friday 2^nd April and re-open on Tuesday 6^th April.  We will also be closed on Bank Holiday Monday May 3^rd.

Hope to see you soon,
