I have been creating beads again using my oxygen/lpg torch. Have been experimenting, what do you think?

2012 D-I-Y Calendars

It's nearly Calendar time again!! We have already had phone calls asking when they will be released. This year we will produce our Paper & Stuff Decorate-It-Yourself Calendars early in May, so you can get your skates on and start early. We have designed and manufactured them for the past eleven years now, and their popularity still astounds me!! So thank you to all our lovely customers who have supported us by buying them for the past ten years!! And welcome to those who are considering them for the very first time!!

There are five calendar styles available. Our new calendar,
the Easel Calendar Kit was well received last year. They are designed and manufactured in Australia. They are now printed onto a lovely white textured cardstock, it isn't bazzill, but it works very nicely with it. I have posted each style individually in the sidebar so you can see the merits of each style…

A nice piece of trivia for you, one of my craft ladies decorated one of our calendars, and sent it to Lizzie in England… opps, sorry!! I mean HRH Queen Elizabeth II. I hope that she liked it, and wouldn't that be a top photo opportunity for any scrapbook!! Here is Lizzie with a P&S Calendar…

(I could put HRH endorsed on the back??) (Just an idea…)

EXTRA NOTE (5 July, 2011): We have had a spot of bother with the cardstock being unavailable for the calendars, so we have chosen a new stock. The calendars are now printed, but haven't yet been bound…

…will keep you advised on progress.
