New year Newsletter 2025
Hi everyone,
Happy new year! I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas and are ready for a creative new year. Did you receive something crafty amongst your gifts?
I don't know if you ever make new year's resolutions, mine always seem to go out of the window by the end of January! Instead of making new year's resolutions, how about promising yourself some ME TIME, spending time learning a new skill and making new crafty friends.
Looking back at last year I was so lucky to be involved in so many great opportunities:
I taught enrichment classes at Embley park school, Held several amazing children’s parties here at stamp shack HQ. Went out to a nearby WI group for a workshop with a group of 20+ ladies.
Held a book folding workshop at a local craft group. Held Alfresco workshops & crop days/ sessions. Hosted the Hampshire open studios in my cottage garden. All whilst juggling home renovations & outbuilding restructuring & repairs! I am exhausted just thinking about it!
We traditionally enjoy having CHRISTMAS IN JANUARY classes so we can get a head for 2025, before we put all our stash away. We have an assortment of festive workshops on offer.
New for this year:
BEGINNERS KNITTING - have you ever wanted to learn to knit? we have a three part course starting January 24th 7-9pm. Includes all materials, tuition, tea, coffee & homemade cakes. Learn how to cast on, knit, purl & cast off and create a soap saver & wash cloth a useful gift idea.
HALF TERM KIDS CRAFTS Age 8 upwards
Please have a good read of the newsletter below and drop me a text/email if you would like to book, Thank you for your continued support.

Hi everyone,
I hope you are all keeping well and your Christmas preparations are going well. Unless you are like me and seem to enjoy the last minute rush! I must admit the perfect Christmas for me would be a totally handmade one. I do manage to make a wreath, some decorations, most of my cards, knit a few small items and make preserves to give away as gifts too.
It has been a busy last quarter of the year, with a children's craft party where a child exclaimed this has been the best party ever!! With a wonderful 5 star google review!
I have been busy with group bookings at other locations too making a book folded christmas candle with a local craft group & festive peg star with the WI.
I have also been extremely busy decorating the gift boxes for cyril's soap shed luxury Christmas soaps.
We still have some lovely workshops/ sessions for you to take part in, we also have three Christmas socials too! Our spaces are limited and need to be pre booked so first come first served. A warm welcome awaits and there are always lovely home baked cakes & 10% off in craft shop too!
If you haven't been before we would love you to join us.
If you have a group of friends / family you would like me to do a creative activity with please get in touch.
We also have 30% off Christmas stock too!
Wishing everyone a peaceful Christmas and a Happy new year

The diary is filling up and we have Christmas bookings with the W.I. and local craft group.
If you cannot make the class times please contact me and i will see if i can fit you in at a more convenient time.

Sarah’s Stamp Shack New Year Newsletter 2024
Happy new year everyone,
I hope you all had a good Christmas with maybe a crafty gift sent or received too.
Last year was full of new opportunities, going out to new groups to share my passion for craft. Crafting with adults with learning difficulties. Teaching enrichment classes at a local private school, new monthly craft retreat days at the village hall… I am so looking forward to what 2024 will bring.
This year the stamp shack becomes 20 years old!!! An achievement in this day & age. There will be offers/ events to celebrate this.
We have some lovely workshops planned as we go into spring my favourite time of the year. If you do have facebook please follow us on there as it is frequently updated. If the dates/ times of workshops do not work for you, please message me and i will see what i can do.
We will be reintroducing our Friday evening girls night after Easter.
Almost forgot to mention there is 30% off all Christmas stock, so come and grab a bargain.
I hope to see you soon.

Late spring newsletter 2023
Hi Everyone,
I hope you are all well and enjoyed the King's Coronation!
Sorry for the delay in the newsletter.
I was invited into an assisted living home and made coronation table decorations with the residents for their celebrations.
I was also booked for an afternoon at a local craft group last week too. They tried mini folk art, which they really enjoyed. If you would like to get creative with a group of friends here, please let me know and we can go through some options.
The weather is starting to warm up and we have already been crafting outside in my cottage garden.
Exciting news, we are starting an introduction to knitting with Jane. If you would like to learn a new skill be sure to book. Held over 3 saturday mornings, includes tuition, yarn & needles.
Virna from vintage V is holding a Hand sewing bear workshop on Saturday’ 27th May. More information on this is listed on the newsletter. We will also be having a Bear retreat this summer too if you fancy a crafty weekend away here please get in touch. I have various other retreats planned too!
Please support our workshops, if the dates and times don't work for you, let me know and we will look at rearranging.
Our workshops are great value for money and generally include all materials, tea, coffee,homemade cake & 10% off instore.
Things have been a little quiet and I have taken on some extra part time work so classes are now not held every week. This gives me prep time and time out for private bookings too.
Your attendance here means alot to me! Crafty hugs Sarah xxx
