Flower Shop Event

Its that time of year again when the Flower Shop in Wick hold their "Christmas Event". On Thursday of this coming week between 9 am - 7 pm, the shop will be full of beautiful arrangements to get you in the Christmas mood.

There will be gift ideas, special offers, Christmas novelties, refreshments and a raffle in aid of St Barnabas Hospicce. The arrangements that Michelle does for the raffle are usually out of this world and well worth winning! I will be there too helping and flogging Christmas cards and some of the labels I made last week.

Its for a great cause so if you are passing pop in for a look and maybe a glass of mulled wine and mince pie.

Post operative!

As I am still feeling a little post operative following minor surgery last week, my creative juices haven't really been running.
However I have made these little gift tags which I have been able to pick up and put down when I have felt like it.
It has also been a great way to use up some scraps from the overflowing "scrap box".
I have used Quickutz dies, which work perfectly on my Big Shot. Also thank heavens for the sticker maker too as it save a lot of intricate glueing, which I just don't have the patience for at the mo!

Change of Plan!

Unfortunately the afternoon class on Saturday 26th November has been postponed.

However the Big Shot draw coffee morning is still taking place, but will be bigger and better!

Helen and I have thought it would a great idea to make it a Second Hand craft Sale, for you earn a few pennies for some new stash (hopefully from Stampin' Up!), from your old/unused crafting stuff or come and grab a bargain.

If you would like to have a table for £4 and get rid of some of your surplus stash
then please do not hesitate to contact me and I can save you a table. If not then just come and spend!!


Dont forget it is not only a Big Shot in the raffle, there is a 2nd prize of a stamp set and a 3rd prize of a £5 gift voucher. There will be Stampin' Up! products, gift vouchers and stocking fillers for sale. A make and take and refreshments will also be available.

Come along and dont forget to bring a friend and get your orders in for Christmas. Like last time there will be a 10% discount for any orders placed on the day.

Class reminders

Hello everyone in blogland. Sorry I havent posted for a while but the Farquhars have been away for a few days in York. The weather wasnt too bad and York is lovely, although I wouldnt recommend climbing up the tower of the Cathederal unless you are an olympic athelete!

Now it is back down to earth and to get up to date on all our crafting activites.

I would like to thank all those that came along to the Shopping Event last week. We raised £150 for the Scout group.

Next Thursday is the Wick Hall class, where we are making the Tote box and Christmas gift tags, so please let me know if you havent already, if you will be attending to ensure that we have enough kits made up.

Also dont forget the class at the Windmill on Monday 14th November. Helen will be taking it on her own as I will be on sick leave, so you will need to be on your best behaviour! Once again let me know if you want me to save you a space for this as well.

Big Shot News!!

Following the success of our Launch Party, Helen and I have decided to hold another coffee morning on 26th November followed by a class in the afternoon.

Also we have got our hands on a Big Shot and are going to raffle it at the coffee morning.

Tickets are £1 each or 6 tickets for a fiver! There is also a 2nd prize of a stamp set and a 3rd prize of a £5 gift voucher.

This is a great way to try and get your hands on a very useful piece of kit for free, and what you save on the Big Shot you can spend on the great selection of cutting dies and embossing folders.

Don't forget you have got to be in it to win it!
