Just had a brand new item in today...it is a Pick Up Pencil from adhesive manufacturer - Stix 2.

The essential non-sticky pick up pencil. Perfect for picking up all your gems, stones, diamantes, pins and needles. When the end gets blunt or is no longer sticky - just sharpen like a normal pencil and carry on using it. Brilliant tool and only £2.99.

Also new in - is the latest Creativity Promotion from DoCraft.
A mix of standard crafting items as well as some new Christmas designs plus their latest magazine.  We also have the new "Beautiful" range of papers and embellishments as well.

Well crafted Olympic Torch building

The Olympic torch has been a big homework project for a number of Wickford schools. We have had many children in this last week with their parents / grandparents to source various materials to make a torch. Here are two "torchbearers"- Kati...e and Jasmin who came back in to show off their work to their mum, Michelle.
Well done girls...and to nanny too!
It would be interesting to see what some of the others have made with their craft materials.
