Just a quick note to ensure that you our extended family are all fine. We have Grandma staying with us tonite so we are altogether. It has been a huge weekend - one I do not want to go thru again.  So I hope that all of you are ok & that your homes are safe as well. If not I hope you are with family at this time as we try to continue with our lives. The store will be open this week - only a bookcase at the rear of the store fell over - small damage really - thank goodness.  Have been saying a few prayers this week - and will be continuing these for a few more days yet. We will be in touch with people regarding classes in the next couple of days. Any queries - either give me a call or email -  tracey@thestmpingground.co.nz

Keep safe & look after each other

Lights, Heat pump, New sign on building & now new product! What more could a girl ask for !!

So today it was My Mind’s Eye, Christmas papers, Lost & Found range of papers & embellishments - these are georgous… so many I like. Ribbons, some Christmas ones & glittery ones… then later this week Bo Bunny & Graphic 45 will arrive. Love it when new stuff arrives - the creative juices are flowing, just need more time to create.

Don’t forget we have a new phone number - 366 6950

Well finally we are in our new place… so much space…. more than double of what we had before. New stock has been arriving as well. Tissue tape from Tim Holtz, Little Yellow Bicycle, 7 Gypsies…. and some very cool totes. Come visit us at our new place - 22 Opawa Road (2 extra sets of lights from Colombo St) - drive in the driveway (sign by entrance) & there is plenty of off street parking. (we are the black building).

WE’RE ON THE MOVE TO LARGER PREMISES!!

LAST DAY HERE AT COLOMBO STREET IS SATURDAY 26 JUNE - NEW PLACE FROM THURSDAY 1 JULY

22 OPAWA ROAD  (opp Black’s Pet Store, by Brougham/Opawa Rd intersection)

Black building - off street parking - & lots more space.

Great New folders that cut & emboss !! Also the long plates are in stock.

It’s been a while since my last post - apologies. So easy to get out of the habit - as I moved house in March, End of Financial Year and a couple of trips away in April. Anyway time to update, now with the cooler weather it seems easier to create & not feel so guilty about the garden!

The past few months have seen lots of new products & brands arrive in the store. Most weeks there are beautiful papers that arrive & embellishments to help decorate your pages & projects. Even my craft table has several projects on the go - would love to complete some of them!

Remember the class schedule - Hazel is taking Card & Cuttlebug classes each month. Each class showing you different techniques & products - both for beginners & those wanting to expand their knowledge. Sometimes just playing with new ideas can get those creative juices flowing. Wendy walks you thru a scrapbook layout class each month - helping to intreprut a sketch & complete you page. Over the winter months I will be taking some ‘off the page’ project classes. The first on Tuesday 22 June 6.30pm-9.30pm. A house - which you make of course and the roof is a little book that sits in the house. (Sample is at the store to view).

Jenny Sutherland is returning to the store on Sat. 17 July to take 2 classes for us. The first a bookbinding/journal type class (slightly different from her last class) and a class using the Sizzix dies. More details soon. These classes are well worth your time - Jenny has many ideas & techniques she is willing to share with you.

See you in the store soon
