TERESA COLLINS AND DELISH COLLECTIONS

Hi all hope your having a good Friday and getting into the weekend feeling. If you fancy a nice relaxing crafting day or even couple of hours we have some of the most amazing new products in for you to use! I know I know you have loads of stash, but really you will need the new ranges from both Teresa Collins and Delish!
We now have in the Nuneaton shop both the papers and the die cuts from the Teresa Collins Damask collection. If you love black and white this is the range for you! These stylish patterns will have you reaching for them again and again. Also if you own a Bind it all and want to add some extra dimension to your mini book the die cuts are for you! These die cuts have been designed to work with the bind it all cut in brackets and other shapes with just one side straight they couldn't be easier to use! These came in yesterday and Ive already had a play and found them sooo easy to add into the mini books. I could actually kick myself for not ordering more they are so fun to use.

Last but by no means least is the new range from delish, this is a new company hitting the UK and taking it by storm. The muted blues and creams of the range give it a wonderful timeless look. The embellishments to match are honestly the best priced items you will come across. And due to the high demand of this product we are doing a great kit with a selection of (DOUBLE SIDED!) papers, embellishments and ribbon in. For more details please contact me. I will also be back tomorrow with a picture of all the goodies that are in it! These kits are only available either at our Nuneaton shop or at one of the crops that we attend. Hopefully they will also be online in the next couple of days that is if they don't all sell out first. :)
This weekend is also the Nuneaton crop day on Sunday so if you would like a break from the kids or the cleaning pop along for some fun!
And next weekend if you are in the solihul area don't forget to visit us at the solihul crop for more details go to http://www.whathousework.co.uk/.
Have a good weekend all
love Na

Afternoon all :)

Hi everyone I hope the weekend is treating you good? Its a busy one here hence this sort post between our card making classes that are happening in the shop today.
I just wanted to share with you this great new project that is happening over at back porch memories. Audrey Tan is hosting a A to Z BOM (book of me) course (cant think of a better word for it sorry :) ) its free to sign up and every ten days a new set of prompts for that letter will be put up! so within a few months you will have a completed album all about you!
So ive started mine, which actually gave me the excuse to use the new Tim holtz grunge board some more hee hee! I think its great to be able to do this album and hopefully when Jess and Jack look at it in a few years they will see the real me rather than the mum me that wakes them up every morning (Us mums really are super hero's we even have a alter ego! once the kids are in bed and with a spin its from mum to Naomi as if by magic) and so give them a little bit of a insight of that part of my personality. Its also going to be great fun in a few years time to look back at the things that make me tick now, the things that are important to me in 2008. So why not come and join me :) If you do decide to have a go at this challenge once you have done A email me a picture of the page and I will try and post in on here. That way we can all inspire each other!.

Talking of inspire, this month the Paperdolls will be joining the rest of the croppers over in solihul, if your in the area this crop is held on the 3rd sat of the month and is attended by some of the loveliest people you will ever meet (just like our nuneaton and tamworth crops!) So don't be too worried if you'd be coming alone you wont be on your own for long, Promise.
You can find out more details here http://whathousework.co.uk/default.aspx.

Ive also been a little naughty this morning and gone and ordered some of the new Winnie the pooh cartridges for the cricut!! hee hee these look so cute! If you would like to pre-order you cartridge please email me as these wont be in stock for long!
Have a good weekend all
Love Na

april showers?

I'M BACK! OK I haven't been away so long that you have all missed me but I'm back never the less after a nice few days away from it all.
Thank you to all you lovely ladies that came and supported Paperdolls in the opening of the new unit it made the first two days that extra special seeing lots of familiar faces and of course hello! and thank you to all you wonderful ladies that have only just found us :)
We really have been so busy! what with the new unit and all the lovely products that have gone into there and all the equally beautiful new papers that have come into the shop I don't know where to spend first! hahaha. Although the new grunge board that we have had in from the master TIM HOLTZ has already been taken home and used by me! It really is a fantastic product, which at first I admit I wasn't that brave with but after inking it, I cant wait to start getting all my alcohol inks out again and having a go with them. You can also paint, sand and stamp it.
But its back to school day tomorrow so, of course, tonight its baths and words before any playing with craft stuff. although Jess was an angel yesterday and did all her homework early. She is so not last minute dot com like her mum!! And tomorrow afternoon I'm off and I'm still loving my basic grey stamps so its them against the grunge board! I guess i could use them together ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm the ideas.
Another new range that you can find at out Bedworth unit is the two great new ranges from Laura Ashley. The papers come in both a Traditional and contemporary range with matching fabric brads, ribbons, stamps, and epoxy stickers. These really are the quality and look you would expect from such a classy brand!

OK enough rattling from me, but before i go coming in over the next few days is the promised new papers from piggy tales and lots of other new products! so I guess you could say watch this space ;)

Now on to some PAPERDOLLS news :), you remember in the new year I told you to expect some exciting changes during 2008, well finally i can let you all in on our great news, paperdolls has just added another shop to our empire LOL, from the beginning of April we will be opening 3 days a week at our new lock up at Bedworth Market!! Imagine a shop but with no door and that's what we are :) I'm so excited to be able to take another step towards world domination lol!!!!!

and even more excited to be able to offer all our customers in the bedworth area a more permanent shopping option. I hope the during our grand opening (dates to follow) you will all pop along to see us :)

Now before I go I need to share something else with you, long ago (not that long I'm still a spring chicken) every time I turned on the TV, an advert would come up for a la carte kitchen, it was a kitchen like no other, in the advert the little girl got up and made her daddy some Swiss roll and beans for breakfast and I was so desperate to get this toy that I bothered my Mum day and night to buy it for me, well Santa must have been listening and for Christmas I got one!!! Imagine to my disgust when I realised the no, I wouldn't be making Swiss roll or beans on my Kitchen as the blooming thing didn't work!!!!! I was horrified and to be honest I think this is the under lying cause of my reluctance to cook now. I felt cheated that everything I put in that oven came out cold, I'm sure at some point I cried about it too. So fast forward twenty something years and this morning Jessica asked for a kinder surprise, now this little girl thinks shes going to get an amazing surprise and instead she gets this stupid little toy that breaks (along with her heart) every time she touches it. So that's it, I've had enough! next time that these companies advertise something that when I buy it doesn't do what they say its going to do, they are going to get an email from me telling them that they will be lucky if in twenty years time half the population isn't suing their sorry bottoms for destroying their childhood with false dreams and cookers :) LMAO! Had to get that off my chest ;)

ITS BIG YELLOW FRIDAY!!!

Hi all and a happy big yellow Friday :) Today is the children's Liver Disease foundations first annual day to help bring awareness and raise money to fund research into children's liver disease. Now ladies you all should know by now that we are holding a fun night tonight from 7pm at the Griff and Coton pub in Nuneaton, so if you are in the area and have nothing planned get yourself down there and I can promise you a great night out.
