It's nearly time...

YOUR LAST CHANCE...
We're almost out of time to place orders for retiring products from the 2006-2007 Idea Book and Catalogue, and also from the Summer Mini. There is still a little time for a quick order, but they must be with me by 8pm March 31st. So, check the retiring list, and if you were liking Stem Silhouettes in the Summer Mini don't delay! Unfortunately, this elegant and versatile set has NOT made it into the new catalogue, and will never be available again. "All about U" and "AIDA cloth" background are also retiring, although they are not shown on the Retiring List. Don't delay, send your orders by email TODAY! to michelle.dyson@bigpond.com

Summer is drawing to a close...

Well, I think we can safely say that summer is over, although I am hopeful for a few more lovely warm days! However, there is still a little time before the gorgeous sets and accessories in the SUMMER MINI catalogue disappear.... perhaps forever!
My particular favourite is Carte Postale, great with the co-ordinating Enchante paper range and co-ordinating wheel - the perfect combination for elegant cards. I am also a fan of the Stem Silhouettes set - I have seen so many beautiful cards made, including plenty for the men in our lives, this set is so versatile, and a must have for your collection. The SUMMER MINI ends on March 31st, so contact me today to arrange a workshop -some March dates still available, or to place an order direct.
