Another week closer...

... to Christmas. This week we have been busy fulfilling orders for the craft kits we're stocking. I've got some new stock in from DCWV, namely the Far East range and the Pocket Full Of Posies. Both have papers, ribbons and chipboard embellishments to compliment each other.

On a personal note, one of my customers/followers 'tagged' me. If your interested in my 7 random facts they can be found on my other blog .

Christmas Orders

I've had a lot of 'word of mouth' orders for my Children's Craft Kits which is wonderful. I've also got some Sequin Magic Kits and Scrapito Card Kits, all of which are reasonably priced to do for stocking fillers. I think I'll keep a few back to put in my eldest son's stocking (maybe the Boing, Boing Balls).

My other blog

This blog is mainly to keep people informed about news from my online shop. I thought my readers may also like to know that I keep another blog over at Trimcraft. Trimcraft is a great crafter's site for blogging, chatting, displaying your work, swapping ideas, etc. It's also great for finding out about new products coming to the market. Why not take a look.

Magic Motifs from Glue Dots

I've always stocked Glue Dots products, finding them to be good value and popular products. I've just got the full range of Magic Motifs in and they can be found here. For those of you not familiar with them, Magic motifs are double-sided adhesive images which can be added to a project ready to glitter. They can also be covered with foil, flock, micro beads, coloured sand and so much more. For a demonstration of using Magic Motifs, take a look here.

I also have Magic Dust in stock (also from Glue Dots) which is a very fine glitter and goes well with the Magic Motifs.

Hope you like the new stuff.

First Order

Today I received my first genuine order (not one of our test orders or relatives buying supplies) a full bona fide order. At last, I'm off and running. Here's to many more!!!

I'm listing new stock all the time and have plans for new introductions very soon. There'll be more Craft Kits, a new Laura Ashley Range and soon I hope to branch out into a wider scrapbooking range, cutting/embossing dies and I really like the Tim Holtz ink ranges.

If anyone has any suggestions please let me know and I'll add them to my wish list for future growth.

Children's Craft Kits

I've just got in some great Children's Kits. I'm sure they'll make great Christmas presents. They range from First Knitting through Jewellery Making to Bouncy Ball Making. They have a recommended age of 5+. Why not take a look at them now -

Problem with Paypal

I've just found out that there was a problem with my site accepting payments. Thankfully, this has been fixed and now works correctly. I apologise to anyone who has experienced this and hope you come back ang give it another try.

Hot Off The Press

In my shop I've got some new HOTP booklets for cardmaking and scrapbooking. I think HOTP produce really inspirational products and are generally good value. Take a look here - http://www.donnasdenofcrafts.co.uk/Catalogue.aspx?DepartmentId=4&CategoryID=44&Idx=3

Payment Options

Currently I am only accepting Paypal payments. This will shortly expand to include a payment by post option. What I'm wondering is whether or not Paypal is generally accepted as a standard method of payment or are there those of you out there who just don't like it?

New Stock

This week I've got some new stock in from Zutter. They make these great little machines that will cut through and bind a wide variety of materials to make personalised journals, calendars, scrapbooks, etc. Weighing in at only 3lb they are also extremely portable.
