That Basic Grey mentioned in yesterday's post arrived this morning, and yesterday afternoon saw the arrival of a parcel packed with a proliferation of Prima papers and products.

There's a ginormous box of roses as well.

Christmas is on the way, and we're finally seeing some new Christmas papers. Yay! say the cardmakers. We've had some vintagey grungey looking Karen Foster here for a couple of weeks and there are some new cutesy glittery papers from Imaginisce. The new Christmas papers from Graphics 45 as well as restocks of last years Christmas range arrived late last week direct from Graphics 45, as well as the Steampunk and Halloween in Wonderland ranges. We should be receiving our new Basic Grey sometime over the next couple of days - Jovial & Pyrus. For the magazine junkies, there are still a couple of issues of Create: Holidays and September Cards on the counter.

The September newsletter has now been printed, sent out & loaded onto this blog. Here are a couple of photos from class samples already here.

First up, a teeny section of Donna's "Under the Sea" Paper Piecing. Can you guess what it is?

 This is from the "Pocket Full of Posies" Shabby Chic workshop, on the first Saturday in September.

Have you seen these cards? They are so cute! You make 16 little notecards and their own special presentation box in this 3 hour class, all for the paltry sum of $27. How good is that! All you need bring is something to cut & stick with. I'm thinking they'll be perfect to slip in your kids lunchbox, hubby's briefcase, girlfriend's purse, co-workers desk, or present the whole box as a special gift.

 The class is on Saturday July 24th, from 9:30am until 12:30pm.

If anyone is after some ideas for k-ute cards for boys, Robyn J is doing a class for us here on Sunday 23rd, and her cards are now on display in the store.

We had Copic markers arrive on Friday. I've needed them for such a long time, but been so strong, and resisted their siren call. Now I've weakened. Just have to learn how to use them now.

Arrivals during the week. There are 3 new ranges from Basic Grey - Cappella, Max & Whiskers and Basics - new stamps from Great Impressions, including lots of Asian themed stamps, on display at the front of the shop at the moment, a new range from We R Memory Keepers - 72 & Sunny - , May Cards magazine, Scrapbook Trends Create: For The Home magazine, new ribbons, new colours of Prismacolour pencils and more stamps from Stamping Bella (not just Bella girls & fellas)

The little packs of vintage goodies that Debra's been working on the last few days? They're ready, and already walking out the door. If you would like us to bags you one, (Christine R, I'm looking at you) give us a call, & I'll save you one. 3205 5911.

The May newsletter & class schedule is now available here on the blog, has just been emailed out, & is about to be stuffed into envelopes for those who like a traditional post.

While I have your attention, a reminder that we are closed this Sunday & Monday - Sunday April 25th is Anzac Day, & Monday 26th is the designated public holiday.

Fancy some playtime? We're holding our Art Play Day this Sunday, your chance to get inky & collagey. The gorgeous Katrina will be doing a demo...she did tell me what, almost a month ago, but I just can't remember the details. Memory like a sieve with really big holes, me. We're also providing lunch. You will need to book in, so give us a call if you're interested. 3205 5911.

A reminder that we are closed the entire Easter Long Weekend. Wishing all of you a very happy & safe Easter.
