Hello everyone and welcome to another Creativity newsletter.

It's been a little while since the last newsletter because I have been very busy setting up the online shop on the website and I'm delighted to say it is now up and running!  We have started with needlecraft products and gradually will be adding papercraft items and some haberdashery.  Please take a look and let us know your comments.  The shop operates with Paypal so security is guaranteed but it is important to point out that it is not necessary to have a Paypal account, you can pay using your debit or credit card or even by bank transfer.  If there is anything that you cannot see on the website but you know that we stock in the shop, just let us know by email or phone and we can send the order to you and invoice you via Paypal.  Then all you need to do is follow the payment instructions and we can send the order out immediately - no waiting for cheques to be cleared.  We hope this will provide a valuable service for those customers who are unable to get to the shop for whatever reason and those who live far away in other parts of Spain and Europe.

The Making Christmas Cards Special magazine was extremely popular and has now sold out completely.  I have just received notification that, due to its success, there will be several special 'one-off' editions in 2008, and the first will be out in mid-January, MAKING CARDS FOR MEN.  It will contain 20 free craft papers and vellums and over 30 original projects.  We all know how difficult it is to make men's cards so this magazine is sure to be a great help and inspiration.  To make sure you get your copy, please reserve it by phone or email or next time you call into the shop.  The cover price will once again be 8.50 euros.  I have to place the order by 7th December so let me know soon!

We have some new Elusive Images unmounted stamp sets in this month, as well as the Artylicious CD Roms: Damask Delights and Butterfly Bliss.  (The Xmas Seasons Greetings double CD Rom sold out before I even had a chance to write this newsletter!  Sorry about that but I'll be ordering from them again soon so if anybody would like one, just let me know).  A new selection of Christmas 3D decoupage sheets has also arrived recently.  Quite a few items back in stock this month: Photoglue, Lick'n'stick envelope glue, A4 Kling-on sheets, Groovy Duo scoring boards, Stylish shirts and shirt & tie glitter layer peel offs in eight colours, glitter rope border peel offs, alphabet and numbers peel offs and replacement blades for craft knives.

We have some great Christmas gift ideas for needlecrafters: various designs in needlework boxes and bags, patterned tape measures and matching scissors, novelty pin cushions and many new cross stitch kits.  For your Christmas home decor we have handmade quilted Advent Calendars, table mats and kitchen accessories.   Also some super new wide Christmas ribbons which are great for your home but equally effective as a decoration for your last-minute Christmas cards.

A quick reminder that the shop will be closed from this Friday 30th November till Tuesday 4th December inclusive while I have a long weekend visiting my family in UK.

I look forward to seeing you soon.  Keep crafting....
