oooh they are pretty and no i can't believe you haven't ordered them yet.

You are being good aren't you . I'm sure choccy would lend you the elves she isn't using them this afternoon.

Choccy hope everything is going well.

Don't those poor elves need a rest, they have been worked SOOOO hard these last couple of weeks :rotfl:

I am crumbling as I love the houses but there are several other things I would have to order at the same time to make the p&p worth it :rolleyes:

Craftygranny - lovely cards for Maddison - my favourite is your tri-fold one, you are very clever - I didn't dare attempt this one.

Mrs.Tidge - hope you have a fab time! I noticed they had some dl scalloped card blanks the other day - I was tempted.

Myzdamena - hope you feel better soon.

Rainmac - those houses are so cute.

Well the bank holiday offers have started already. This site has 10% off, its only a small site but has some cute stamps and charms. Postage is only a quid or free if you spend over 25 quid, I ordered some greetings farm stamps from them ages ago and delivery was really quick;

I'm thinking of getting the midsummer nutshells set for a tenner - it looks quite cute!
Also craftsulove have free postage on for the weekend:

Right this is going to be a mammoth post from me so I will apologise in advance!! ....


JHB - oooh that manga girl is lovely ... but out of stock I would have ordered her They do have the Manga kids in stock though? http://www.funkykits.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=850

Rainmac - wow them houses are fab ... you think they will have them at the NEC?? I might wait ... would go for the smaller ones though as they are cheaper but they then might be too small??

I had a phone call at 11:20 this morning from the lovely choccy ... she was trying to make me jealous .... her Autumn stamp club magnolias had arrived ... so I went stalking looking for our posty ... he told me he had nothing so I nipped into town to pick up my craft superstore order (lots of new paper pads :eek:) and when I got home mine were there aswell!!! I am so excited so had to take some pics to show you!! .... Mine are the same as Choccys.





So there are 6 figures, 1, possibly 2 stamps for tilda to sit on and the rest are all small ones but they are so lovely and worth the £25 considering you can pay upto £8 per figure stamp when they are released

I am going to go update my blog with all of the lovely cards from people I have recieved. Sorry it has taken me so long to do but I have been up to my eyes in poorly children and then with DS coming home I had to let real life get in the way for a few days!! I will do it in one post.

Hi Furry,

They are all cooking related. One is just a sitting tilda but she would sit nicely on a pear or on the knife and fork. They are really cute.
I am pondering if I could do stamped images and sell them on ebay to try and bring in a little bit of money. That Tricia Taddy would sell them for £5.50 + postage but I was thinking £5 with free postage and doing 3 or 4 of each design. I need to sit and work it all out tonight before I list the images. Hopefully I can raise some money for DS's bike for his birthday (I am half way there and still have to find money to pay for his party :rotfl:)

Can I ask if anyone reads my blog to scroll further down as I have 3 posts on there from today but the one right furthest down is all of the lovely cards I recieved in the swap and also the beautiful things Rainmac sent to me.

I have just updated my blog again Sat and made 2 new cards which I think look really good .... I can't believe I am starting to make cards which I am happy with!!
