CLASSES TO CONTINUE

Well it's been a week since we closed the doors at Mitchelton and I am still sieving through the boxes to sort and organise the left over stock, shop fittings, paper racks and of course dreaded paperwork. I have managed to take time for a massage, lunch with my husband and friends, a dinner party, an outing to Ikea and organised the rest of the lounge room furniture and a new bed for my weary body so for those wondering if I'm enjoying retirement - it is great!!!

 In amongst all that though Jo and I have been working together to present another one of our ever popular 10 LAYOUT classes which is scheduled for:

Saturday 11th September
Time: 10am- 1pm
Cost: $60.00 (includes materials)
Participants will need to bring trimmer and adhesives.

For those who cannot make it, kits can be ordered and you can book a day to come down and copy the layouts or we will email photos of each layout to you when you collect your kit.

We have negotiated with Gayle to use the upstairs area of her new store, A Place to Create, as a class area to run these classes so we have had a new classroom table built, by our good friends at Albany Creek Kitchens, that is bigger and better than before and we are ready to start putting together more classes for you to enjoy. 

Jo has also created a gorgeous desk organiser using Kaisercraft's Hippy Girl paper range of papers and rub ons and is presenting this class soon.  Check the website at A Place to Create  for details.  You can also see the sample in store at A Place To Create.

We are also working on a Christmas fun day which will include Christmas cards and Ornate Christmas frames presented by A Creative Place and fantastic Christmas wood projects presented by A Place to Create.  Simply book one class or stay for the day and join in all the classes.

After the clean up we still have a number of 12x12 black paper racks left over which you can purchase for $30.00 each or 2 for $50.00.  These can be collected from A Place to Create during their opening hours.
Remember if you stack these inside a cupboard or side by side you can put a board on top to make a shelf for more storage.  If you know anyone who uses slat wall or grid lock and the associated hooks and brackets, we have plenty to sell off at great prices.  Email Sharon at info@acreativeplace.com.au for enquiries.

Be sure to check back for more class details and updates as we make further plans and keep ourselves off the streets.

Last Week before we close our doors forever....

With only one week to go and new lines arriving last week, we’ve still got lots of great stock and even better bargains for you to grab. Remember we only have 7 days left of trading before we shut the doors forever.


For the last week we have heaps of stock reduced up to 75% off. Check out our bargain table of 50 cent items including Kaiser bling, chatterbox ribbons, MM 8” letters, Kaiser wood letters and KF title rub ons.


We’ve added more tables to the half price area at the front of the store and added lots of new lines. All Christmas wood is now 50% off too.
Printblocks albums came in on Thursday and have nearly all run out the doors so be quick – there’s 25% off all albums.


The workers started pulling down things this weekend so it’s starting to feel very real that it’s nearly over for A Creative Place.
If you own a Cuttlebug, you need to see the new range of embossing folders from Do Crafts priced from only $9.40.


There’s also new decorative edge scissors from only $5.95 – crazy prices!


As we clean out we are also clearing all our store samples at unbelievable prices – all card samples have gone out for only 50 cents each and tins and canvasses start at only $2.00.


Thanks again to everyone for your support and we hope you will join us over the next week to grab some great bargains and save us from packing too many things.


Regards
Sharon
