Village Day 2015 Photos

Well another successful Village Day with a steady flow of customers and some regulars returning to stock up on their cards. We were sandwiched between the YMCA bottle tombola and the Alzheimer's Society stalls this year - guess that is about where we fit in real life! The weather stayed fine again and an enjoyable day was had by all. Thank you to Karen, Sue, Penny, Rachael and Katherine for their help on the day. 

Here are a few pics of the stall set up.

Michelle cling-filmed the cards to the stand this year to save time on set up!
Here she is dancing with it!!

All ready to go. Katherine keeping an eye on things.

Zoe's Ashtead NameScape drew a lot of people in to the stall this year
 - very eye-catching.

This is the pre-coloured version of Zoe's limited edition Ashtead NameScape.

Neatly arranged cards

Ice cream cone sweetie treats -

Busy stall!

Village Day 2012

Well here is a photo to prove that we were at Village Day even if nobody could find us!! We were not allocated the best spot this year, but the sun shone, the wind blew, and the rain stayed away - hooray!

And although it was definitely not our best year for card sales, we did well with selling the owl gift boxes and jubilee gift bags, thanks mainly to Gabby's son Max who did a great job!! Thanks Max! Click here to see how to make the triangular gift bags.

We also had the Competition Cards judged by Evan Davis (BBC Economics Journalist and Dragon's Den presenter). Find out who he chose as the next card-making entrepreneur at the next workshop on 27th June!

Ashtead Village Day 2011

Well we were very lucky with the weather again on Saturday, considering it rained heavily all day Friday and then again on Saturday evening, just after we had packed our stall away! Linda please make sure you always bring your mac to Village Day as it seemed to work wonders in keeping the rain off! We were very busy with card sales this year (up 20% on last year) and lots of other hand made crafty items sold too - notebooks, mirrors, jewellery etc. Thank you to Kay, Linda A (and her magic mac!), Linda B, Jan, Karen, Marilyn and Pat for all your hard work on the stall on the day - we thought it looked great!

We also met lots of new people interested in joining us. So if you are reading our blog for the first time, then a very warm welcome to you and we look forward to seeing you at one of our workshops - check out the side bar for details of dates. You can also contact us by sending us an email here.

As you can see we did also manage to get this year's celebrity guest, Christopher Biggins, to judge our Membership Pack Card Competition. But whose was the winning card? All will be revealed at the next workshop on Wednesday June 29th!!
