Slow down to speed up! I have heard
that somewhere and it sounds like an
interesting concept - just have to figure
out how to put it into practice now.
The summer is half over (what we have
had of course) and we are planning for
the rest of the year already, especially
behind the scenes at An Siopa Bui.Well I have lots and lots of news so I
best get on!
Summer Extravaganza 5-7 August
This was our original Extravaganza,
and is now in its 6th year (or is it 7th?).
A great weekend of craft classes held at
our shop in Spiddal. Join us for a class
or a day, or if you really feel like a
crafty feast - a whole weekend. Look
ahead in the newsletter for all the class-
es, I know I fancy a few myself.
Great Big Craft Extravaganza -
Athlone 30 Sept 1,2 October 2011
Because it is a BIG Extravaganza, we
are very busy organising this event at
the same time. We have most of the
shops and sponsors sorted so class lists
will be available shortly. Why not visit
our new website and pre-book for first
look at the class lists and opportunity
for early booking. This will ensure that
you get exactly which classes you want
and suppliers like the fabulously creative
Hunky Dory and Creative Expressions.
And of course we got all the latest
goodies from our regular suppliers such
as Woodware and Sizzix.
Website News
I am sure that many of you will have
realised that our website is down for a
complete make-over. It is looking reallywonderful. We are at the stage of put-
ting all the products in and then will be
ready for a grand re-opening with lots
of specials. If you are not on the email
mailing list and would like to get your
newsletter (and in fact more newslet-
ters) by email - please let me know.
Email allows me to update you more
often, and we also include some special
little discounts as we are saving on
postage. Another great way of keeping
in touch is to become a fan of our
Facebook page - the quickest updates for
sure.
Sizzix Club
We are very excited to be launching a
Sizzix Club. This is a great idea that
was thought up by a Sizzix customer. It
is going to be so exciting allowing us to
have new dies more often and at a lower
price. Have a good read about it and
make sure to put your name on the text
list for this one.
Yellow Club News
Just to say thank you so much for your
support for all the Yellow Clubs this
year - they are going from strength to
strength and growing every month.
This means we are able to buy in larger
quantities and give our members even
better deals. The next special edition
bags are the Wedding Bag, and aChristmas Special Edition bag. On the
standard bags, the September bag will
be a Christmas Bag to get you all ready
for making festive cards.
Just to be fair, we have included a little
voucher in this newsletter as well so if
you visit us over the summer don’t for-
get to bring it along - it is only valid in
our Spiddal shop though!
Hope to see you soon

mornings and sometimes eveningsWe have a great Wednesday cardmaking
class every Wednesday morning from 10:30
to 12:30. And, sometimes we even repeat it
on Wednesday evenings.
We make 2 cards and it only costs 10 Euro.
It really is a fab class and is becoming more
and more popular. Bookings are now impor-
tant. Join our text list and you will get a little
reminder with a sneak peak on a Tuesday
and then all you need to do is reply to say
you are coming.
This is a great class for all levels and we even
do requests (Special birthdays, Anniversaries
etc).
Call us at the shop on 091-504692 or text me on
0872048045 to join the Wednesday list.
Scrapbooking Crops Scrapbooking CropsWe have been really bad at getting together to scrap
this year, and it has mostly been my fault (and horri-
ble things like shingles). I am really going to try and
remedy this. Please help me by joining us for our
evening scrapbooking crops. It costs only 5 Euro,
and we start at 6:30 ish and finish around 9 ish. We
will try and return to our standard get-togethers are
on the second Thursday of the month and the last
Tuesday of the month, but we might make it a bit
more often, depending on the demand.
The best idea is to join our text mailing list and we
will give you a quick text to remind you about any
crops and to let you know if we have a layout to
scraplift. To join the list - send me a text with the
words ‘crop list’ to 0872048045.
Next meetings are:
11 August - Thursday Night
30 August - Tuesday Night
13 September - Thursday Night
