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

only 2 weeks until we close the ACP doors for ever....
