... yes, it's our 10th Birthday!

It seems like just a few weeks ago that we started this venture, now known as Craft House (originally KiwiScraps) as a small online store that held "crops" at a local community hall every couple of weeks... but 10 years have really passed! Since then we have had two physical stores, hosted many Scrapbooking/Craft celebrities and Tutors/Designers from the US, Australia and NZ through our Crafting Connection events, had a big online store, had a smaller one, enjoyed working with some amazing staff, added extensive services, survived a recession (or is that still surviving a recession?), met some wonderful people (customers and suppliers) and had a lot of fun!

Thank you to all the many who have been a part of the past ten years... your support and friendship - and we look forward to sharing the next 10 years with you!

In celebrating the 10 Years... we are doing a couple of things....

Nice and simple... every purchase will be discounted by 20% from midday Friday 25th November to Wednesday 30th November.

Sale includes items already on special including our wholesale 7 Gypsies, K & Co and Maya Road items... and of course all Cuttlebug, Sizzix, Spellbinders and Craft Concepts products in store... including the new Cuttlebug V2 Machine machines and the new product releases due in store on Friday 25th November!

As above - the only exclusions are our services as defined here and the Project Life products. And of course, only applies to items in stock. Online customers your discount will be calculated as you check out of the store

And finally... celebrating by doing what we enjoy doing... we have a

Not a traditional Birthday Party - but we will be starting the day with a yummy morning tea, a few bubbles and with Beverley just returning from a very inspirational time in Paris (welcome back - we missed you!) ... a few mini-projects throughout the day.

Call the store on (04) 499 4499 or email Mary to Register for the day (or part of it)

 

Certainly the hottest product of the year for many... and we are well into shipping customer orders with the expectation that ALL orders for Amber, Turquoise (now both sold out), Cobalt and Clementine product ranges, including the binders will be delivered by Xmas.

The next shipment of product (Cobalt and Clementine Core Kits and paper ranges) should arrive late next week and start shipping with the other products such as page inserts, dividers etc.

The week following we are expecting the new binders direct from WER in the US and these will begin shipping immediately too - meaning that, as above, all Project Life Product ordered should be with customers in time for Santa to make a delivery*

(* DHL and Post Haste Couriers have again been exceptional in working with us to achieve almost overnight delivery from us to customers in main centres across New Zealand and Australia. Understandably though, PO Box deliveries, very large orders (the record so far being almost 20kg of Project Life product) and remote areas can take a few days extra due to the constraints and arrangements we are applying, but every effort is being made to get deliveries happening regardless of location/address - and any questions or concerns, please email us).

As expected... new products are on the horizon already... and a remanufacture of some of the existing products due to their popularity has seen a couple of new page insert pack options added to the range (more to come on that).

But our next shipment will be the just announced Signature Range Project Life Binders in very classy and traditional black and white finishes.

These are available now for pre-order on our website... as are other Project Life products. These binders are not going to be shipped in time for Xmas "down-under" but should be shipping from us by mid-January.

WIN AN ORIGINAL NECKLACE INSPIRED BY THE

PROJECT LIFE SERIES

 

The front features the tagline for Becky's company "Cultivate a Good Life & Record It" - the back is the damask print from the Clementine Edition of Project Life... and all orders for these new Signature Range Binders before the end of November will go (or are already) in the draw for one of two of these. (Drawn and posted to the winners in the first week of December).

END OF YEAR/NEW YEAR SCHOOL HOLIDAY PROGRAMME

And finally... as our classes and other activities draw to a close for the year... we do of course have our School Holiday Programme kicking off. Due to changes in School closure dates this year - we have been asked by a small number of parents to offer something pre-Xmas as well as in the new year.

So... we are, and our pre-Xmas Schedule can be seen here with definately an emphasis of Xmas related activities,,, gifts, decorations and more!

For those just interested in the New Year Schedule, this can be viewed here from this Saturday (we are just confirming a couple of awesome new classes).

 

Until the next time... The Craft House Team
