I can't believe the year has gone so fast!  Hopefully it's treated you well, and you've had a productive time with metal clay.  As Christmas is coming, I wanted to let you know about some of our new products, as well as other important things like last posting dates.

In this newsletter we're going to cover:

-    Competition Time
-    Christmas Order Dates
-    New Texture Sheets
-    Metal Clay Findings Sale

Competition Time
For the last few years we've run a Christmas competition showcasing the most creative uses of metal clay.  This year we want to do something different, and so are running a competition for "Metal Clay Top Tips", and will be rewarding the best tips every month.  Winners can choose between 16g PMC3 or 18g PMC+ as their prize.  Get your thinking caps on, and follow this link to the Argentice website where you can tell us your best hint, tip or technique.  The competition runs from 1 November 2009 to 31 January 2010, and we'll select monthly winners.  The best of your ideas will be posted on the Argentice website.  Good luck!

Christmas Order Dates
The Royal Mail have published last posting dates for Christmas delivery, however we are currently unsure how long the industrial action by postal workers will continue.  As a result Argentice are publicising the following provisional last order dates:

UK orders: 16 December
International orders: 6 December (Japan, USA, Canada and Eastern Europe)
              7 December (Western Europe)

Argentice reserve the right to change these dates depending upon industrial action, and will inform customers accordingly via the website.

New Texture Sheets
We've recently received delivery of some lovely new texture sheets from the US.  We have designs based on Chinese and Greek mythology and imagery where the pattern details are deeply etched, then moulded onto a rubber sheet to ensure clear, crisp impressions. We haven't seen anything like these in the UK before and are sure that you'll love them - the Aegean and Dynasty stamp sets cost £11.95, and you can find them by following this link.

Metal Clay Findings Sale
Last but not least, we're delighted to announce that the ever popular Metal Clay Findings are on sale for a limited period.  Click here for more details.
