Happy New Year

Hi all Happy New Year hope you all had a great Christmas and celebrated the New year with Family and Friends. I know i did and my throat is still trying to recover. Well here we are in 2008 and lots of exciting things in the pipeline, January is always a slow month in the shop which gives me time to plan and of course clean up. I must say a huge THANKYOU to Cindy who decided it was time to organise and clean up the shop and she has done amazing things she even got Rhonda there to help (Rhonda is much like me its easier to ignore it) but no Cindy inspired us to both get off our behinds and clean up, we managed to fill the skip bin out the back its amazing what rubbish you stash away. So thankyou to Cindy and Rhonda and Fay who happened to visit in the middle and also got roped in. We are in the middle of Kids holiday programme at the moment Fay RHonda and Myself are taking the classes we have card classes off the page projects and pages.

I am still waiting on some stock the Crafters doodling templates etc i have part paid for them so hopefully they will arrive soon, there is and embargo on freigt through fed ex which is causing the problems for all the wholesalers as the stock is stuck. Keep our fingers crossed.

Adult classes are set up to the end of February and are filling fast, we have a 12 hour coming up on Sunday 27th January the 28th is a public holiday book in early.

Sunday Funday Christmas Party

Well we had a great day yesterday for our Christmas Sunday Fun Day, 17 ladies and about 15 PAWA men, do we know how to do it or what. Yes we started the day with no power but we sent Tracey on the job and she came back with more than enough men to fix the job for us and they bent over backwards to fix our problem. Then Santa arrived and handed out pressies to all here i will hopefully have the photos on the blog today as well. We had so much food we had to all be rolled out the door at 5pm. Alissa came for the day and it was great to see her looking so well. I would just like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a healthy New Year lets hope next year doesnt go as quick as this year has.
