IMAGINATION
CRAFTS ON TV
SATURDAY
2 APRIL 2016 AT 8.00PM
Hello
everyone,
Sorry,
this is a bit of a long one, but there is a lot to tell you!
First
of all, it’s that time again and we wanted to let you know about our new
One Day Special, launching on Hochanda Craft TV this Saturday, 2 April at
8.00pm and following on through Sunday 3 April, at the usual times of 9am, 12pm, 4pm and 7pm.
We
are launching our wonderful, brand new Mixed Media Ink Sprays. These are lovely
soft, chalky spritzer inks that are so rich and luscious. As ever, I am going to be completely honest
with you; I never really rated Ink Sprays before, but I have fallen in love with
these and they will be an absolute staple in my craft stash from now on. They are a cut above anything I have ever
used and of course, Lisa and I will be using them in lots of different ways, as
we know you would be disappointed if we didn’t and there is enough of that
around at the moment!
We
are also launching some brand new Art Stamps in the ODS kit and there is a
saving on this launch kit of £10.00 and it is also on 2 Flexibuys, so that is really
good news!!
There
are more special offers on 2 half price stencil sets and a bargain on the
Sparkle Medium set, so product and price wise it doesn’t get any better than
that.
As many of you will have heard by now, Hochanda is temporarily off air on Freeview, which
is a huge blow to us and all the other craft companies and customers, as it
means lots of us won’t be able to watch the programmes. As ever with these things, lots of rumours
abound but we will tell you everything we know and Hochanda have put an
announcement on their Facebook Page explaining, but we are going to give you
our explanation as we understand it.
Basically
ITV own the Freeview channels and lease them to other companies, (a bit like BT
own the phone lines and British Rail own the tracks the trains run on – enough
said on that one!!)
ITV
in their wisdom have decided to change the children’s channel CITV and ITV +3
and it involves them using Channel 39, the Freeview channel used by Hochanda =
problem!
We
are obviously not privy to the ins and outs of the mysteries of ITV and TV
broadcasting platforms, but the good news is that the problem will be resolved
by mid-May. That doesn’t help anyone
until then but everyone is trying to do what they can to manage the problem, (these days called a ‘challenge’), which this certainly is. The result is we all miss out in various ways
and no one is happy about it.
We are taking the
view my Mum used to take - and I suppose it's an old-fashioned view in some respects - when she used to say ‘put your best foot forward and do
your best under the circumstances’. So
with Mum in mind we are going to carry on until normal service is
resumed. We can shout and scream, but it
isn’t going to help.
Instead, we have decided to try and help you, our lovely customers and
Lisa and I have recorded 8 - YES, 8!! - YouTube videos, which we will be uploading
next week. You can watch in-depth demonstrations, with no interruptions, to
help you to see what we have been doing and craft along with us. We have put so much work into them and 8
videos are a lot of work, but we believe our lovely crafters are worth every
minute of it and we really want to help to say how very sorry we are that this
has happened. We will let you know all the details next week. We also appreciate that not everyone has
unlimited broadband usage so you can download them one at a time and watch them
at your leisure and of course if we can help you with any questions or
products, you only have to ask.
You can subscribe to
our YouTube channel in advance & that way you'll get an email notification when the new content is added.
As you can see we
have detailed below where you can watch our programmes on Hochanda and for those
of you who can’t join us we hope to see you again in May. Once again, many, many
apologies for this inconvenience.
Until next time, best wishes,
Sue & Harvey.
