Hi Everyone</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, yesterday was our October Minithon and, despite suffering the after effects off a migraine I had on Saturday, we had a ball (and even managed to make a fabulous project!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love our Minithons, it's a chance for me to sit in good crafty company, drink tea, eat cakes and biscuits and spend time crafting on a project that we wouldn't get time to do in a regular class (not that we ever finish our projects on the Minithon either...we all talk and giggle too much lol!), but isn't that a good thing? ;o)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyhoo, I have just taken a couple of photos on my phone of our project and thought I'd pop them on here before I mash a cuppa ;o)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is an A4 box frame card that folds flat with the help of the two side panels :o)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have used my favourite, Edwin, with Tilda for this Christmas Card, in cream, brown and blue..accented with gold mirri card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Coloured with both Flexmarkers and Pro Markers, lots of Glamour Dust! snowflake dies, my ever present distress inks and various lil embellishments that were knocking about in my stash lol</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you like it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Crafting!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love, as always</div>

Hi Everyone</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday saw the start of a very busy week for me...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Orders to do, Create & Craft shows on Thursday and Friday, To Do List to do for Carol lol, Projects to complete and so on... so I'm cracking on with my 'to do' list this morning!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have finally, just added the new Letraset Flexmarkers to the website.. whoo hoo! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You know I love them, you've seen my colouring in on my Facebook pages (when I should have been working lol) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These pens are different to the Pro Markers, the inks are still alcohol based so they work together with the Pro Markers, but these Flexmarkers are more translucent, softer shades which help us to blend and achieve more realistic colour toning... I urge you to try them.... you'll be hooked, like me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a quick linky to them on the website.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have also added the stunning new 'On The Edge' Embossed Card Blanks by Craftwork Cards... this is my second delivery.... the first lot sold out in two days in the shop! So grab them whilst they are in... with some beautiful Christmas designs, these will make your Christmas Cards special and stand out on the shelf!</div>

Hi Everyone</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just a quick note to let you all know that, as of this week, I am now closed on Sundays...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whoo Hoo, this means I am now having an 'actual' day off...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know, it's unheard of and completely selfish lol</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As most of you will know by now, I have now become one of Create and Crafts' Craft Ambassadors, which means that you will probably see more of me on air.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, in order for me to be fresh as a daisy for you all, at the shop and on air, I need to have a work/life balance and hopefully this will help me achieve that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will still be having my Minithons, Craftathons and other special classes (more on that in another post I will write in a minute) on Sundays, so these are not affected.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just didn't want you all arriving at the shop on a Sunday and not finding me there (besides, you know me well enough to know that I will be sat at home crafting anyway lol)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are no other changes to my opening hours apart from this change on a Sunday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
See You Soon</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Crafting!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love, as always</div>

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Well, good morning from a very wet and rainy Nottingham! It's been raining all through the night here and shows no signs of slowing down yet ha ha</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So, being as I couldn't sleep for all the rain, I have been updating the website and I have aded all the new Christmas Tatty Button Stamps and the fabulous Christmas CD-Rom that goes with them..</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are a couple of pictures of some of the new stamps...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4PqqaXWSLu1NYzWe3OIEZ03LRafMbtplolJm8ZdY6hgcoxlaYEhW5Hk9AB2cM9wcZGx2zBkNnnw_wrc1c2MF_T1dCcyivY9tsicAM_4B9Aa3HmYwGt8w3spZq-UrNJBsZEUZ1G7wkrtWZ/s1600/TB21.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4PqqaXWSLu1NYzWe3OIEZ03LRafMbtplolJm8ZdY6hgcoxlaYEhW5Hk9AB2cM9wcZGx2zBkNnnw_wrc1c2MF_T1dCcyivY9tsicAM_4B9Aa3HmYwGt8w3spZq-UrNJBsZEUZ1G7wkrtWZ/s1600/TB21.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I adore Tatty Button! She's a little bit more 'grown up' and funkier than the usual cuties I like to colour in and that's probably what her appeal is to me... </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now I only took my delivery of these stamps yesterday and my Wednesday class bought most of them, as they were unpacking the boxes for me lol so the stock is going very, very quickly so pop over to the website and get your order in quickly, before they sell out.. here's a quick linky to the website <a href="http://www.honeypotcrafts.co.uk/">www.honeypotcrafts.co.uk</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now, you all know me well enough by now to know that had one each of all the stamps ;o) so watch this space for some lovely new projects :o)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy Crafting Everyone!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's been such a busy week, with one thing and another... </div><div style="text-align: center;">Carol and I have never stopped! The new website <a href="http://www.honeypotcrafts.co.uk/">www.honeypotcrafts.co.uk</a> has gone crackers! and I'm still adding products to it almost every day!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

There are a couple on there now, under the My Cards and Projects for sale category. Be quick though, the last two I added sold in about 5 minutes!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyhoo.... I'm popping this photo on of the card we have made at my classes this week..... I love Tatty Button, she's funky and cute all at the same time... and of course the stamps are for sale on the website ;o)</div><div style="text-align: center;">I did mine in monochrome, but some of the classes did this card in pinks or neutrals and the results were equally bootiful!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">My new Honeypot Crafts Online store is now officially open and up and running!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">After much encouragement (bullying lol) from some of my Facebook and Twitter followers, I let the new shop go 'live' a week earlier than planned, but the response have been overwhelming.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I want to, personally, thank Sue and NJ particularly for their words of encouragement (and nagging!) for getting me motivated to get the online shop up and running again, it's been a long haul project that I have been doing in the background for a wee while now so I hope you like the new look and feel of it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I also want to personally thank everyone else (sounds like I won an award lol) for your support too, I truly value you all as friends, not customers and to have both is just amazing!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyway, I will be constantly adding new products to the online shop as there is still so much in my 'real' shop that isn't on the site yet, and of course, you know I keep ordering new products too so I am going to be an even busier bee!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I plan to add new ranges on Fridays, so please keep an eye on my Twitter and Facebook as I'll let you all know on there too when new ranges are added :o)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Have I rambled enough? yep! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Thanks again and here is a quick linky to the new online shop... <a href="http://www.honeypotcrafts.co.uk/">www.honeypotcrafts.co.uk</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">We had a fabulous time at our May Craftathon last weekend, Thankyou to you all for coming and making it such a good day :o)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are a couple of lil photos of my two projects.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">For my first project, I made a double sided stepper card using the luvverly Tatty Button Stamps and made the co-ordinating background paper with the Tatty Button CD Rom :o)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiafw3APeYds5zkyfFaXdKYkOmV0Zj73bnBa5hKbEOM9O0KtWXe3Qp5Taj58cpHikug6QQnl0wPoEIsxtZx9O3YmeqOsC7hwMXRIYuR7wFJ9Snaz79nBOigZVnXcTPvjku7R62oMfvhvSZY/s1600/29052011082.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiafw3APeYds5zkyfFaXdKYkOmV0Zj73bnBa5hKbEOM9O0KtWXe3Qp5Taj58cpHikug6QQnl0wPoEIsxtZx9O3YmeqOsC7hwMXRIYuR7wFJ9Snaz79nBOigZVnXcTPvjku7R62oMfvhvSZY/s320/29052011082.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">For my second project, I made a multi layered book easel card with the cute and cuddly Tatty Teddy. The shape for the card came from a Grand Nestability die, and, of course, my distress inks were put to work here too :o)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I thought I would post a lil message to let you know what's been happening in my crazy world so far in March...<br />
Needless to say, it's been a very busy month so far!<br />
<br />
I have just got back from Bath, where Clare Curd and myself were filming for Docrafts Creativity TV.... we had such a laugh!, butt of course were working hard too ;o)<br />
The little bit of Bath I actually saw was beautiful so I plan to have a long weekend there at some point in the summer :o)<br />
<br />
I have also been completing several projects and articles for the Docrafts Creativity Magazine, May issue.... Hopefully you will like what I have done and I have been able to inspire you :o)<br />
<br />
Now it's time to get ready for the Stitch and Craft Show at Olympia in London. Myself and Clare will be there for the duration, giving you some demos and no doubt giggling alot lol<br />
Most of the Docrafts designers will be there too so between us, we can hopefully give you lots of tips and tricks :o)<br />
The show runs from 17th to 20th March and you can find out more <a href="http://www.twistedthread.com/pages/exhibitions/viewExhibition.aspx?id=27&view=eventgroup&eventGroupId=43">here</a><br />
<br />
As soon as I get back from Olympia, I will be getting ready for my March Craftathon at the shop! All places are booked and most of the May places have gone before I even print a list lol<br />
It really has been non stop since the beginning of March, but it's all good fun.<br />
<br />
I will be back on your Create & Craft screens in April (I really couldn't fit any shows in from now until then!) and I will give you more details nearer the time..<br />
<br />
Anyhoo, I hope you are all well and crafting away.<br />
<br />
See you at Olympia!<br />
<br />
Happy Crafting!<br />
<br />
Love<br />
Phill<br />

Is it really last October since I posted on here?! I am so ashamed!<br />
BUT, in my defence, as most of you know, it has been a rather crazy few months!<br />
<br />
Where to start... I know, grab a cuppa lol<br />
<br />
You probably already know that I am now on Create & Craft quite regularly and this does take me away from the shop alot, as well as the Docrafts Creativity projects I do.<br />
<br />
I am loving my time on Create & Craft and particularly working with Docrafts and, hopefully, helping them to develop their product range. I want to thank you all for your endless support and encouragement.. it really does give me the energy to keep pushing myself!<br />
<br />
There are more things in the pipeline and I will endeavour to keep you up to date.<br />
<br />
I will be at the Olympia show in London which is March 17th to 20th this year... If you can make it, please come and say Hi... It's the biggest craft show in London and no doubt I will be a bag of nerves before we start lol<br />
I know Clare Curd and Myself will be busy doing some little bits and bobs for you (nope, I'm not telling....yet)<br />
<br />
On the Honeypot Crafts front, well, I am starting a new workshop on Fridays soon...let me know soon if you want to join me as places are already being taken!<br />
<br />
As far as products in the shop go, I already have plans for expanding the brands I stock, this year will see the introduction of Crafters Companion, Pink Gem Designs, more Magnolia, more Ranger, more Xcut and Papermania, Nellie Snellen dies and something else later in the year (it's a secret for now)<br />
<br />
I am also redoing my website myself now (I know,...workaholic) and this does take longer than I though, but I want to make sure it's an easy to use and up to date site when I launch, so I will keep you up to date.<br />
<br />
On a personal note...<br />
We spent Christmas in New York last year and it was wonderful...even with the snow blizzards on boxing day! We loved every minute and I probably bought more clothes than I can wear in year lol<br />
<br />
Catch up soon...promise<br />
<br />
Happy Crafting!<br />
Love<br />
Phill<br />
