Absolutely great to see Julian, Debbie, Antony, Dawn and Paul again and enjoyed what I saw , especially Paul who I always found very funny on QVC. OK , I joined the club , which means I will have to buy something from them. Vastly amused to see if you spend £1000 a year with them you get an automatic invite to the annual cocktail evening to meet the presenters ( Gold level) and if you spend a staggering £2000 you will also get a workshop with Dawn big laugh That is the Platinum level. Much more professional delivery than the other new channel but hopefully there is room for all three channels.
I missed them yesterday as the timings just didn't work for me! I am watching this morning though and the first thing that is very obvious is much better picture and sound quality than the other new one!
Nice to see Anthony again, haven't seen the others yet apart from Dawn. I think I am much more likely to watch this channel - I just wish it was longer hours. Website looks better too so all in all by far the better, I think, of the two new channels. Not sure about the club at the moment although the £20 back is pretty good!

That's what I thought too EB. Not sure how it works yet. I am sure I will find something I like. 2-3 working day delivery as well. Recording the morning shows to watch. It is confusing to whip between the 2 Sky channels at different times though.
Freeview 254 apparently, Toril. Sky is split between two channels, but the hours are 6am to 1pm and 6pm to 1am, don't know about Freeview. The time I am most likely to watch is between 1pm and 6pm which is a bit of a bugger!
Thanks, EB. At the moment I haven't got a channel 254 but I'll re-scan the box later ............. just incase. But as I could never get QVC Extra on channel 57, before its demise, despite re-scanning the box numerous times, I don't hold out much hope of getting the craft channel.
Luckily we have a really good craft warehouse near me so buying things isn't a problem , but I'd have watched it to get more ideas.
I don't have any craft shops near me now so I rely on t'net!
We used to have a really good one that covered papercrafting, knitting, fabric, cross stitch etc but it went belly up and the woman who ran it now has a stall in the market presumably selling what stock she has left - all stuff I don't need! There were also two other shops that sold some craft stuff but they have gone too.
I hope The Craft Channel is a success - partly because I like most of the people involved and wish them well, and partly because a bit of healthy competition for C&C can only be a good thing for us consumers!

Just placed my first order for the Tim Holz 12x12 paper valise so I'll let you know about delivery EB. I have a lot of 12x12 card in my storage pouffe from Aldi ( cheaper than the QVC one) but as I have other things on top it makes it a major operation to get a piece out I thought this would be useful for keeping a few sheets of different colours to hand. It looks much prettier than the plastic 12x12 protector boxes.
Glad to see Neelam on today as I have the cellophane I got from Lidl on a roll last year ready for some special bottle wrapping this Christmas- I had forgotten some of the techniques.I also have a ribbon stripper somewhere that I got from QVC years ago lying around somewhere.
