sakura is here!

YAY they have arrived! the shop is awash with every type of pen imaginable! Rob hadn't got me any thing for Christmas but he is all sorted now lol. And another thing that's shocked me is how much they can do. Ive got this form with all the surfaces they can write on, on it and wow! I cant wait to get started. The new stardust is my favourite right now its so christmassy. I love it! oh and the glaze pens i will be colouring everything in sight tonight and hopefully finish off those Christmas gifts.
My plan was to come on here today and share all of my pictures from Jessica's school nativity play (called wiggly nativity!!! BLESS) but my friends borrowed my camera to get some pics of her DD (how trusting am i letting a non camera owner out with my SLR!!) and to be honest i think they are going to be pants! I could kick myself, instead of having my 70-210mm lens on i had my 18- 55 mm lens which for you non camera buffs (like me!!;) ) it means you cant zoom in all that much and well get loads of background in when you are about the 4th row back like i was arrrrr. Honestly i was so mad at myself and only the fact that the play was amazing and Jess was a super star cheered me up. I don't think any parent can think of any other school activity that makes you prouder than the school play. They had to learn not only their words but also the songs and the dances to go with them. I tell you for someone like me that would forget their head this is mind boggling how a 4 year old can do it. So just want to say a HUGE THANK YOU TO JESSICA FOR MAKING ME SO PROUD AND OF COURSE TO THE TEACHERS AT WEMBROOK SCHOOL FOR MAKING IT ALL HAPPEN!!

NEW STAMPS FROM JOANNA SHEEN

CARD MACHINE ANYONE?


YAY at long last Paperdolls now has a card machine in the shop! Thank god its easy to use too ;) you know how delayed i am at taking in information!!
Thought id just let you all know about it seen as I'm so chuffed with myself about being actually able to use it!
We are also having a after Christmas sale (along with the world and its dog it seems ;) ) all Christmas goodies will be 10% off in the shop from the 3rd Jan when we reopen.
Oh and another special offer when they arrive will be 10% off the sakura pens when you buy 10. so great savings all around. And the stamps I mentioned yesterday they are from the Joanna Sheen collection (see i forgot to say that yesterday too) you can see and example on the side and i will add a slide show of some of the others we will be stocking in a mo. :)
Ok gotta rush I'm off for a girly night out tonight and of course i still haven't anything to wear!!! arrrr. It will be the last one for me before all the nightmare of Christmas really takes off over the next week of last min buying and panicking in case uncle Joe doesn't like his gift ect. hahaha

Just a quick note on stock arriving before Christmas first! As from this coming Tuesday we will be stocking the full range of Sakura pens! Honestly it has to be seen to be believed how great these pens are, from the gel to the glaze we will be having the lot!

BIND IT WEEK

WOW has it really been a week since i last posted? Its been a mad one for me, OK OK its been a blur of using my new bind it all at every chance hahahaha. Kids? washing? housework? what are those? when you have a bind it all. Honestly Ive been binding everything in sight. I will have to bring the camera tomorrow and take some pics for you all to see. But if you haven't got a BIA yet. you need one!!! No kidding they are a must have.

Last weekend was great and really busy, so thank you to everyone that took the time to come and see us, bring a card or give us a birthday present. :)
Good news too for the shop as of yesterday we take CARDS!! yay .........at last! Now don't be coming in during the next few days expecting me to know how to use it as i have no idea yet. LOL. Will be having a look this afternoon and fingers crossed it wont be too hard to use. OK so this is me saying this, so the chances are it will be thrown up the wall by next weekend. I will let you know how i get on ;)

Talking of being dippy, yesterday i took the crown back from my elf mum (who is still at Bedworth all dressed up till Christmas every Friday by the way) after taking Jessica to the hospital for her eye test, paying £3 parking, spending a fortune in the hospital shop kitting us out with mags, drinks, sweets ready for the long wait that will inevitably happen. Stood waiting for a receptionist for a age only to be told actually the appointment is next week. The blonde is really starting to come through now don't you think? I am rubbish at remembering i accept that i was born without the gene that reminds you to do the things you are supposed to be doing instead of getting side tracked (see BIA above for examples of how i get sidetracked) but remembering something and then being a whole week early well that's a first for me! But you know what, next week when i actually have to be at the hospital you can bet i would have forgotten. LMAO.Why don't doctors have some sort of text messaging service where they text your phone to say you have an appointment on that day so get your arse over to them. It would actually save me a lot of trouble and face.
