I always start a newsletter by reading

last years issue for the same time. It

is quite revealing. 2011 was a hard

year, but we got through it and I am

sure we will get through 2012!

My key word for the year is BALANCE

- I aim to get more balance in my life -all aspects of it. I think as so many of

us face changes there are more and

more people turning towards arts and

crafts as a way of creating balance.

Creativity is an antidote to stress!

AFabulousFebruaryBudget

Weekend

The budget weekend is one of my

favourites. Cheap cheap classes and

great ideas for using what you have! I

will be doing quite a bit of the teaching

myself this year, to keep class costs

really low - turn to page 3 to see the

exciting projects we have lined up

including what to do with those biscuit

tins you got over christmas and all

those fabric scraps you have hanging

around.

Sizzixgetsevenmoreexciting

I never thought I would be saying this,

but Sizzix and die cutting as a skill is

getting even more exciting. Yesterday I

downloaded the Sizzix Quilting cata-

logue, which takes Sizzix to another

level completely. There are lots of new

dies coming out and more and more

ideas for using your Sizzix machine for

more materials which makes it even

more versatile and fab!!

Freedemo-AmericaDay!!!

Yes, it is that time of year when we

break out the popcorn and coca cola

and all things American including of

course the latest launch from the fabu-

lous Hero Arts company. Our order is

already in and I am itching for it to

arrive. Expect a bit of everything - but

everything stylish and fab. We have a

fantastic new range of Pearlescent card

to work with for our demos as well as

some great new cost saving ways to

embellish cards. I will be demonstra-

tioning alongside the fabulously talent-

ed Linda Dawson from Cork. Dont

forget your cameras.

Read through the newsletter for

Yellow Club updates, weekly and bi-

weekly workshops in the shop and of

course ....

Awayworkshops-Limerickand

Dublin

I am so excited about some of our new

workshop ideas that I literally cant

wait to get started. We have our first

away workshop in Limerick on 11th of

February and another planned for

Dublin.

I really hope to see you all throughout

this year. My moto is to Live every

Moment and I think that is exactly

what is going to get me through 2012.

Happy New Year

Kerry & Kim!
