THIS IS INSAAAANE!!! We don’t know how we did it, but we did and we truuuly hope you’ll be totally bowled over by what’s come in. Miraculously, we’ve managed to have over 1000 different brand new items added to our shelves virtually overnight!!! How’s that? That’s more than 1000 new scrap supplies you could possibly put into your shopping basket and lug home with you, 1000 new supplies that you can incorporate into your creative projects, more than 1000 different products in a single shipment so we really hope you feel spoilt for choice when you visit us!:)
We really tried our best with almost all of us having just clocked in 2 hours of sleep in the last 48 hours!!! :P As such, we were able to get ready 17 of the 23 brands that arrived. Actually, it’s also due to the lack of space that we aren’t able to display it all but some pictures of the other new arrivals which we have not been able to release to you are however in this blog update and we’ll most definitely keep you updated the moment we get more brands displayed for your ‘hoarding’ pleasure.:P
… … there’re lotsa pictures to look at so make yourself comfortable cos it’s gonna take you quite a bit of time to sift through ALL the photos of the wonderful supplies that have come in just for us!!! So are you ready!?!? Heeeere goooes … …
By the way, i really tried to cover as much supplies as possible in my photo-taking but due to time constraints, some photos do not reflect the full range, but i’ve made sure that you get a good enough representation of it. :)
