NEW CATALOGUE LAUNCH

Well hello everyone, so excited to be here today with some great news.
Seeing as I have been so busy of late, I have decided to do My New Catalogue launch at the Haven Market on June 3rd 2017.
 So save the date, as there will be some awesome products for you to see as well as some give away's and you can play with some Brand new products as well to make and take away with you.
Haven't quite decided on what the give away items will be yet. They maybe some retired items or they may be some new items, it will be a surprise package I think at this stage.

This is the promotional catalogue cover we are allowed to share with you all.
The new catalogue is full of some very awesome products this year and the New in-colours are so vibrant, that they have to be seen in person to really appreciate their beauty.
The new DSP papers are the best I have ever seen, I will have some at the market for you to view.
Some new DSP on it's way order in.

If you missed out on the Eastern Palace Suite bundles (available to 31 May 2017) i have some good news, they are available to order in the New Catalogue from 1st June 2017 but not as a bundle. 
I have had some great fun with the premiere bundle as You can see from previous posts here.

This is all for this post but stay tuned as I will be doing a later post tonight as well.
