Hi there,

Went to Hobbycraft in Crayford last night and discovered they're having one humdinger of a clearout.

Paper, cardmaking stuff, beads, glitter, books Christmas bits to name a few crates of the stuff.

I bought

felting book £9.99 - £1.99

hubby bought model tank to build £16.99 - £2.99

royal langnickel brush and palette set £16.99- £2.99

art glitter set £13.99-£2.99

Table easel art set £39.99-£5.99

cards/ envelopes 15p per pack

The sale is online too but the savings seem to be much higher instore.

Well worth a rake through!:)

    It is called felted friends by Sue Pearl.
    At the front of the book it shows you how to make flat felt, pre felt, needle felt, beads and buttons and tells you all the equipment you need. A fab book!:j

    I popped into my local yesterday and came out with 2 bags full of stuff and only spent £7. Normally I find it hard to find just one item in Hobbycraft for £7.

    After seeing all the goodies above, Leeds was rather disappointing. Quite a bit for any embroidery-types, but not much for card makers or scrappers.
    I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.
    But, if the white runs out, I'll drink the red.

    Re: voucher I had the same issue, sales lady said that it couldn't be used on sale items as that would be like "giving the stuff away". I asked again nicely if she was sure and so she asked the manager who seemed like an altogether lovely lady and said 'Yes, of course you can!'...to be sure the sales assistant had me read out the tearms and conditions....and there is nothing there at all to say that you can't. You can also do various transactions and use a new voucher for each one. I was buying for a big project and did 3 seperate transactions and that was abolsutely fine by them!! So saved £15 in all.
    Nice to save.
