Moments Edgecumbe Update - August

Hi all!
I’ve managed to grow ‘Moments’ from a small box of stock into an entire wall of products over the past two months – thanks so much for your support, enthusiasm and purchases!
Spreading the word has been awesome as well – thank you!
Our launch party in July was fun and low-key – we made several cards and a scrapbooking layout. We followed this with a quiet crop morning on a terrible wet morning – perfect weather for crafting!
July was also a crazy cutting month – I sold FOUR Cuttlebugs and TWO Cricut machines!! Don’t forget I stock cartridges, dies and replacement mats and blades for these machines, and can order anything else you need as well ☺
August has been a bit quieter on the craft front - we did have one very successful crop morning – but generally everyone seems busy with other things!
However we have had new stock arriving every single week, which has been soooo exciting and
helped boost our supplies and range!
I have set the dates for the next two months. If you are interested in these classes, please let me know in case I have to change the date. Also, I have a limited number of places so need RSVP’s sooner rather than later! Let me know if you wont be able to make it after all as well - if there is a waiting list, I can then offer someone else that seat.

Don’t forget to add these dates to your calendars:
5th Sep – Crop Morning
12th September Embellishment Class
19th September – Crop Night

September’s class will be Making Your Own Embellishments. Loads of ideas for saving money
and being creative! If you make your own embellishments, noone elses page will ever look
the same, you’ll get an accessory that matches your layout perfectly, and you may save some
money too!
All our crop mornings (and night!) are free – just bring a small plate/pack of biscuits for morning tea (supper!) and all your own gear! Please also bring a cropping/cutting mat to work on.
Kids are more than welcome during DAY crops ☺and you can come for an hour (if the whole three hours seems daunting!). Night crops start at 7pm and are a great opportunity for some girly kid-free time!
September will be absolutely awesome with several large boxes of hugely discounted craft items due to arrive! I’ll let you know when it all gets here – but I promise you will want to be fast!
Its almost Xmas-crafting time again so get prepared, save money and make gifts that are
meaningful! We are planning a massive bonanza - Jenn, Delys and I will be doing classes for Christmas gifts, wrapping, cards, decorations and more! You wont want to miss this!!! 16 & 18 October – I’ll keep you posted when we know more!
If you are interested in scrapbooking in a heritage style, or scrapbooking your family history, let me know, as I am planning some classes on this for next year!
Otherwise… let me know if there is anything you want or need, I’ll try and source it for you!
Happy Crafting!

Today's Baby Scrapbooking Tip

is................ keep a journal/notebook handy - like on the kitchen bench! This way you can quickly record any special moments, jokes or funny things your babe is doing/learning - perfect for capturing those 'out of the mouth of babes' moments!
These are the little quirky things that you think you will remember but sadly you forget!
Next time you sit down to scrapbook, your notebook will provide you with inspiration and lots of ideas for journalling and page titles!
If you take a special photo of something in particular, you can take a note in the journal so when it comes time to scrap it - the story is ready to go!!
