I've been studying the lilliofthevalley site too as it's the last day for 25R% off and should be free postage for all of April. Only problem is I was gonna order 3 stamps, normally £4.50 each but they sell 3 for £10 but that doesn't seem to be working???!!! Thought I'd get 3 stamps then for £7.50 plus was going to buy some of the die cut characters as regretted not getting them at the nec.

Anyone any ideas???
might need to ring them up and ask but I'd better hurry!!!

Just had a little look on there, those stamps are gorgeous!!!

It says "CHOOSE ANY THREE STAMPS AND PAY ONLY £10! ALSO GREAT DEALS ON LETRASET PROMARKERS TO COLOUR THEM IN - CHECK OUT OUR SPECIAL OFFERS PAGE"

I tried adding 3 and instead of £10.00 it's £10.12 with 25% discount (-£3.38) should it be £10.00 minus 25%?

Did you ring them furrypig?

Thanks for the Ebay link I ordered some white vellum, I never thought of Ebay to be honest :rolleyes:

I didn't contact them in the end as I decided not to buy the stamps if I wasn't getting the right discount (ie I think it should be 25% of £10) and it was late by the time I'd finished faffing about!! I'm gonna order some die cuts definitely so just forced myself to spend over £10!!!;)

Can I pop up with some advice on buying stuff, I bought a load of stuff a few years back from a company who gave discounts for bulk purchases on quality gear and can I say, it was worth every penny as I haven't had to shop for cards, cardstock, vellum, envelopes etc UNTIL NOW! So I am going to invest again if the company are still going. I was a bit fed up about a year ago as I thought I had given it up, but it only takes one friend to beg you to make a special card and you get out your stuff and give in and you are back where you started, obsessed with crafting! Lol.

PS, I made sure I stored my stuff well too.

Do I take it that there is no challenge starting this week gals???

WE can have a week off for Easter I guess then start again next Monday..... is it gonna be shapes???

I'm not sure about monochrome designs for CCC challenge as I'm not really into black and white, though I did make some earlier this year. I think I need a blog really as it's hard getting my stuff on there without one and I think my last entry didn't get on there so didn't do an Easter one. Lots of lovely designs on there and lots from the talented gang on here...go girls!

So who are the company Gangstabird??? Do tell so we can all do a bulk order (not sure if I could really do a big bulk order tho!!! maybe a joint one with everyone on here!!! only kidding!!);)

how long did it take you to get through your huge stash??? also where on earth did you store it all??? What fun sorting it all out tho!:D

I've never organised a swap before but I'd love to give it a go if any of you are interested. I suppose so long as there are at least 2 of us it would work - LOL!

We're not supposed to share personal details on MSE but maybe this is something I could organise via my blog? I've thought of a theme: beauty.

let me know if there's any interest.

Gangstabird do tell us which company you used !!
