Names

Hello, I'm Yours . . . . . . . what an opening line!

This weekend Vicky and I were at the NEC Hobby trade show and on the stand next to us were 2 guys from The Netherlands, Joris & Daan. Joris is pronounced Yours (well almost!) so he is being totally honest when he says 'Hello, I'm Yours'. Daan also had a great surname 'Daan de Groof'. These are the guys below . . .

They had this fabulous gadget for fusing glass in the microwave - the microwave HotPot. It's not really that tall, there are 2 stacked underneath it.
Trade shows are a lot quieter and slower than the shows you normally see us at, so the guys kept us entertained, they were so much fun, I haven't laughed this much in ages. A lot of it was down to the language differences, their English was brilliant but there were still lots of words we had to explain, it certainly makes you think about the words you use.

I did get to make a necklace in the HotPot and am very tempted to get one for myself as I love jewellery and being able to make it in my favourite colours. Joris did make me a couple of beautiful pieces but Joris if you are reading this I am still waiting for the purple one!

New Website

Have you seen our new website? You can check it out here.

Hopefully you'll find it easier to navigate.

New Stamps Arriving

We have a very busy time coming up, starting this weekend, so I've been preparing for these events and have neglected my blog a little.

We have also been testing the new website to see what problems we could find before it goes live, it is looking really good and I've got everything crossed for going live before the weekend.

We have a trade show this weekend but on Sunday 28th Feb is Stamperama in Stevenage. I have just received notification that 2 new stamp ranges should be arriving in time for us to take to Stamperama and more exciting news about Stamperama - 3 Make & Takes have been added to the show. We will have one as well as Dragonfly Designs and Simply Stamps. I know the Simply Stamps M&T will be using the new Penny Black stamps, ours we have yet to decide on.

Mini Baskets

I think I may have forgotten to mention these during our new product week - we had so many new products they just got overlooked. Bushel Basket, Berry Box & Picnic Basket

These are the new templates from Hot Of The Press, great for Easter baskets, wedding and party favours and I'm sure many other things.
Sorry, they haven't yet made it on to the website - soon, I promise!
