    I just posted this over on the Home Bargains grabbit thread but thought I would post it here as well in case any of you don't venture over to the grabbits.

    In Home Bargains today they had the following items...

    Packs of 6 tri-fold blanks cards & envelopes in cream or white - 59p (size is A5 when folded and nice quality card!)

    Packs of A4 sheets of Glitter card mixed colours(can't remember how many sheets - think it was 6 or 10) 59p

    packs of 16 sheets of A4 holographic card - 5 different packs and each pack contains 8 sheets in 2 colours/patterns - again 59p

    All those are excellent in themselves but the real bargains were some Fiskars Border punches and Fiskars Circle Border Punches - 99p each! :j :j I got 2 different circle punches and 2 different border punches but there were SELs for 3 other patterns that had already all gone :eek:

    I found some links to the same punches I got for 99p today so you can see what you're looking out for - look at the prices of them!!

    Looks like you're in for a 'fun' evening. Just got three more cards done...........one for the retirement, one for next door neighbour's hubby and actually managed to get one finished for MIL..........not the one I started for her though..........still, that'll come in for someone else.
    Just need to do a 'get well' card now then I'm almost up to date........almost.

    I try and make do with whatever I can find round the house if possible. Amazing what you can find in drawers and things when you have a real look.

    Shabby Princess
