Back at last

Hi all we are back! well we got back last week but what a week! Honestly our feet haven't touch the floor since we got home, with the sakura day on sat and then all the stuff we had not done due to being away it has been mad! But hopefully its not all calmed down, that is until next week when mum goes away and Paperdolls turns once again (She was sick the other week!) into a one man band LMAO! So that should be fun....
Ok so on to all the gossip from London, It was amazing two days and we had such a laugh doing all the normal tourist things in less than 5 hours! Mum kept saying that she was too old for all the running, walking, getting on tubes, getting off tubes, taking photos, driving in nightmare traffic and the like. Although I like to think I keep her young and she loved it really ;)
The conference centre we were in was in the middle of Parliament square and was surrounded by the most amazing buildings and of course Big Ben! Ive never been there before so it was a real treat for me. The building its self was grand to say the least and the room was huge!! I'm convinced I could have fitted my whole house into it lol. Meeting HRH the Prince of Wales was wonderful too. He is such a nice man! Him and Alister Darling showed a real interest in Paperdolls and we chatted about the things we were doing for a while and the Prince also ask how my kids were which was so sweet of him, and totally baffling to me! I would show some pics but as we were not allowed to take any at the time and I haven't had any sent to me by the trust I cant. But you can find us in the local paper on page 3 today :) if you'd like a look.

MAY NEWS

HI all finally it seems like the nice weather is not too far off!
Due to our trip to London to see HRH Prince of Wales we will be closing the shop on Thursday 15th May. We are sorry to have to do this but neither of us wanted to stay behind understandably, we are so excited to be asked to take Paper dolls and show what we do, I’m sure you will all be filled in with all the details when we come back!
Another exciting event taking place in May is our Sakura day on May 17th. During the day one of the talented ladies from sakura will be hosting demos using all of the sakura pens and also the new Joanna Sheen stamps. She will also be answering any questions you may have about any of the pens and their usage! If you do buy any of the Sakura or Joanna sheen products on the day you will also get a 10% discount on them, not only that but we will also have a different special offer every hour. You really want to add it to your diary now! You can see the demos taking place all day between 10am and 4pm.
Yesterday seen the long await arrival of the wonderful piggy tales products. And they haven’t disappointed me at all, in fact I am delighted with all of the papers and amazed at the versatility of the new piggy tails and sliding doors embellishments. These will all be online by the end of tomorrow and are available in the shop as from today.
We have also had in lots of yummy products from Fancy pants including more of the lovely 12x12 printed acetate sheets.
I hope you all have a good month.
