It's nearly Christmas!!!

Ok so maybe it's not quite Christmas yet but it's not that far away and I have to say I am very excited!!!!

So what can Bee Crafty do for you this Christmas? Well - we can provide you with vouchers for any denomination you would like - and these can be posted to you to give or directly to the recipient - as mentioned this can be of any amount you are looking for. Are you looking to buy a crafty present for someone but not sure what - why not set a budget for a kit - we'll put it together for you - just tell us the colours you want along with likes dislikes should there be any and we can do the rest - this can be done by email or over the phone so please do not hesitate to get in touch at any time.

We are open right up until Christmas eve - me and bev usually don our fairy wings and flounce about with a few mince pies and a brew so even if you need just 5 minutes of peace and quiet pop in and see us - we'll be there.

Anyway thats a couple of weeks away yet which still leaves us plenty of time for present buying decoration making and card making for those of you that haven't already - as always get in touch if there is anything we can help you with we're always here to help.

Take care

4 Cards for Christmas

Hi Everyone

Just a quick one, thought I would let you see the samples for the 4 cards for Christmas workshop. This is taking place tomorrow but we can always book in another one for you!

The object of the workshop is to get the 4 cards out of 1 12x12 sheet with either 4 card blanks or just make the sizes out of some plain A4 or 12x12. With just a few co-ordinating embellishments it makes for a great way to achieve some wonderful cards in not only an affordable way but giving that Handmade edge too.

And back down to earth....

Well here we are a week later.

The NEC was brilliant and we had a great time. Thanks to all of the people that came to visit us and those of you that haven't been to the shop yet thanks for taking the time to stand and talk with us - we very much look forward to seeing you soon.

I think the best part was when people realised we are only 45 minutes from the NEC so not that far at all, for those of you that visit us already you will know that we will put the kettle on and make a brew if you want one so if you want an afternoon out then you will get a drink too.

As you may know it was the "Bee Crafty" product we were launching, the paper blooms, chipboard shapes, buttons and a few other items.

These are available on our website and if you would rather talk to someone on the phone that is always an option - we really are here to help in whatever way we can.

I'll leave it there for today and get you some pictures of the stand for next time!

Take care

November already!!!!

Hey everyone

How are you all - well I trust!

So who's got all the Christmas Cards made and ready to send? As I have posted before we have a great Christmas section on the website very easily accessible from the home page. There is a link at the top on the list to the left on the Bee Crafty Home Page!

Now Its a fresh month for the Bee Crafty Bag Competition and the winners of last month will be announced and posted on the blog in the next few days.

We are currently in the process of doing a new workshop list for the coming months, if there is anything you want to do that's not on the list why not get in touch and we will do everything possible to accommodate your requirements. Also remember if you book a specific workshop the more of you that come the better so why not bring a friend to make it more enjoyable!

As I have mentioned we are exhibiting at the NEC this coming week but the shop is open also so if you have made it to the show you're only half an hour away from the shop!
