Celebration board


Hi all
I am very excited to tell you that the board that will be featured in our class day on saturday 3rd November is the all new sparkling ccelebration board from the glitter girls! So not only will you be able to buy the board with the second option package, you will be able to go home with some ideas on how to use it also! The second option is also a great price at £18.00 for both the class and the board. Or if you would like to try before you buy then all you need to do is book yourself in on the first option for the great price of £8.00 although if you do love the board you can then pick it up on the day for the retail price of £14.95 so booking early for both the board and the class will save you £3.00. To the side you can have a sneak peek of the celebration board that i am sure will become as much loved a board as the rest of the glitter girls collection.

Hi all
Here is what we have planned for you on the 3rd November, A hour long class making 2 Beautiful cards using the keepsake embossing boards that i am sure you have all already had a chance to see or even use. Take this opportunity to learn some new and exciting ways to use the boards along with full written instructions to take away with you, making sure that you can use these designs again and again. Each class will be limited to 4 people so that you can be sure of a great learning experience with plenty of one on one help if it is needed.
Here are the two packages that we have available for you to choose from:

Option 1- Class with all supplies.
£8.00
Option 2 – Option 1 plus take home the embossing board used. £18.00 saving £4.95 on the embossing board.
To get in the spirit of Christmas and all things festive we will be using the ultimate board although one of the cards will be non Christmas related and both of the designs can be altered slightly to use on cards for all occasions if you make them again at home.
You can choose from the following times -
9.30am

NEW PRODUCTS OCT 11TH

BIRTHDAY CHAT

Hi all hope you are all enjoying your weeks? we have had a good time here at paperdolls as mum has celebrated her 50th ;) ok 49th birthday this week! so HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM (Jeanette).
We have also been planning another big birthday celebration as next month Paperdolls turns 2!! It really doesn't seem like two years since we started this mad roller coaster ride but I'm sure that i speak for both myself and mum when i say that we have enjoyed every minute of it. Meeting so many wonderful people and making some fantastic friends along the way has made all the long hours so worth while. So to celebrate we will be hosting a whole load of special offers in the shop with a different one each day of our birthday week. So please don't miss out on the fun and pop in to say hi! I will be telling you more about the offers next week so don't forget to pop back to find out.

We have also had some more great news this week in the form of a phone call from the Princes Trust. A while ago we were nominated for the Business success of the year award and to be honest it was great to have been thought of but neither myself or mum thought that it would go any further, but this week we had the call to say that we have been put through to the regional finals!!! to say i was gobsmacked is a understatement. So tomorrow the film crew will be in the shop to make a film about what we do here and how we have come this far. Very exciting stuff to say the least. We will find out in November how we have done so wish us luck. Although again I'm not counting on winning its just great to be thought of.

We have also had lots of new decoupage in the shop and on the stall including some Christmas peel offs that are going fast! The mini decoupage books are back in stock to if you missed them last time or have used yours all up as they are so great to use. Also and this has to be my favourite is the delightful and funky musical buttons, these are the ones that play music when you open the card!!! They really are fab and a great extra to your hand made cards. I know that you will love them and for only 2.99 for 3 they are a bargain price too. Have a look at all our new products by pressing here.
Talk soon
love Naomi and Jeanette

HI DEE HI

HI all as you can see I'm in a better mood today, no they haven't caught the scum bag but I'm thinking now that i can either be the victim or just think that karma will catch up with them sooner or later. ( maybe they will get robbed themselves or better hit by a bus ;) )
Ant way enough talk of it, they have done it, and that isn't going to change so I'm just going to get on with it.
Luckily we have lots of new stock again to keep me busy hee hee hee Doodlebugs black and white collection in now in stock along with the lovely scalloped edged bazzill. yum!
I'm not sure if i have mentioned that peppermint twist is in along with some wonderful printed vellum's and acetate from kanban. I must say though they are going quick so be warned ;)
Jess is finally settling in at school after two days of her crying to come back home with me. Bless her, yesterday it was tears all round with her crying and me. Well what is a mum to do? it goes against every instinct for you to leave your child to cry doesn't it? Any way we all know I'm a soft touch when it comes to my two so what do you expect! lol. We walked to school this morning with my friend and her daughter Jessica's friend, any way when i gave Jess her sweet and offered her friend one, her mum nearly had a heart attack just at thought of sweets that early in the morning!! LMAO I'm guessing she wasn't too pleased then the other night when i dropped her daughter off with a bag of sweets for her and her brother hee heee heee opps! Now don't get me wrong Jess doesn't eat loads of sweets all the time, but i do treat her more often it seems than other children. But heyho that's life i guess. I have now come up with a new solution, Jess loves high school musical and so now when we go to the shops she will have a couple of packets of stickers for her album instead. Jack has a Thomas one as well so that's a few less sweets till they get bored of those i guess.
I must also say a huge THANKYOU from both myself, Jess and Jack to DIANNE for the lovely scissors that she has given to my two after hearing that Jess couldn't cut for toffee with the ones she has at home. Jack can cut as well now thanks to your great advice so THANKYOU HUN.
Oh and last but definitely not least i have a child genius on my hands (look I'm her mum i can say that) Jess came home last night with her first lot of words to learn, so i get them out thinking... OK how am i going to teach her this one? And you know what my SUPERSTAR daughter can read!!!!! She knew all 7 of the words and i was sooo proud! Of course i rang everyone i could to tell them LMAO! all i can say is either she is a genius (which i think is very likely considering her gene pool PMSL) or her teachers are the best, teaching her 7 words in less that a week. Maybe it has more to do with the fab teachers than i am going to admit but like i said I'm her mum so i can think what i like.
Have a good week all :D
