I have added the snowflake to the

newsletter this issue because it is now

officially cold! Heating is being turned

on all over Ireland and it is time to do

some Christmas Crafting. One promise

I can make you is we have lots and lots

of things to inspire you. Starting with

...

Free demonstration Day - 29th

October.

Make a plan to be in the West for at

least one day of the long weekend. The

fabulously talented Sarah Holden and I

will be doing a fab demo day - including

make and takes. We will be launching

the new Ellas Designs Christmas Cd

and each person attending will get to do

a free make and take - and go home with

a finished Christmas project!

We will start at 11:00 and finish at

16:00.

An Siopa Bui around the country

At this time of year - I am always look-

ing for more weekends. I need to fit in

(note need here - it is actually want -

because I love what I do!) Dublin, Cork,

the Christmas Extravaganza, events at

the shop and ............ this year we are

back at the RDS for the Knitting and

Stitching show. For all the details of

the events coming up over the next few

months and the dates to save, turn to

the calender. But dont forget to diarise

the Knitting and Stitching Show at

the RDS from 10 - 14 November.

We will be having a little stand -

sharing with Payperbox - so you can

get all sorts of goodies in one place.

If there is anything particular you

want me to bring - do let me know as

it will only be a small stand.

Sizzix Club

We had a great first meeting of the

Sizzix Club and talked out exactly how

we wanted to club to work. Turn the

page 2 for all the details, but if you have

a Sizzix machine - or any die-cutting

machine you are welcome to join us -

get the best from your Sizzix . Our

meetings are going to be themed with

the next one a Christmas theme on

Saturday 5 November. To join the Sizzix

text list text to 0872048045 we will

send you a reminder of our crafty day!

Pre-Christmas Sale

What is the point of a sale after

Christmas - you need the stuff before.

We are trawling our suppliers and our

own shelves to bring you some great

Christmas crafting bargains just in time

for you to make your cards and pressies.

It is only for a week and the deals are

only available during that week. Look

out for Cardmaking packs, stamps,

(some

nearly new ones at

excellent prices), marked down Payper

boxes, Greetings and more. We might

even have some Christmas pressies as

well. The sale launches at the

November Coffee morning, which will

be a week late on 18th November.

Another good date to diarise.

Dont forget to become a fan on

Facebook as well - we keep that updated

as often as possible.

Happy Christmas crafting - and hope to

see you somewhere soon!

Cut, cut, cut and emboss, and maybe stamp! This is what it

is about. It is of course also about sharing ideas, and sharing

dies to make our Euros go a little further.

Let me explain how it is going to work.

Our Club meetings will be ....

One Saturday afternoon a month from 2:00 to 5:00pm.

Next meeting Saturday 5 November at the Siopa Bui

The basic idea ...

Is about sharing! Bring along any Christmas dies you may

have - or for the theme of the month. We will of course have

the Club dies at our disposal. Also bring along a card(s) or

project you have made using the die(s). If you want to do a

lot of cutting please bring your own machine as well.

The idea is that we show each other what can be done and

then you get an opportunity to use each others dies. I will of

course have my machines and especially my Big Shot Pro!

Take home ....

Club members can take dies home for the month, just like a

library.

This cost (there has to be one) ...

Club membership is going to be 28 Euro per term (basically 7

Euros a month), and this will be used to buy dies for the club.

We will have the catalogue available on the day so that peo-

ple can give input into what is bought. This will mean that at

each meeting we will have exciting new dies to cut.

Do please give us a quick call, text or FB message to let us

know how many are coming so I can order cake! And dont

forget your sample an die(s) to share.

Join the Sizzix Club- and get the best use fromyour Die-cutting machine

but just to remind you! We

Thursday evenings.

We make 2 cards and it onlycosts 10 Euro.

gifts and cards to make and give or even sell.

I dont want to say too much yet .... a few things to confirm but I

promise you whatever class you choose, whatever day you come - you

will have a fab time.

We start the weekend with our fab festive Coffee morning with a guest

demonstrator. Classes planned include Lots of Papercraft and other

crafts including Gorjuss, Wooden items, Cards, jewellery, and Toys.
