Sorry to be a complete copy cat but I had to order that lace too, it's beautiful and just what I've been looking for, managed to do it with OH sitting beside me but he had no idea what I was doing as he was engrossed in playing on the xbox

On my list for the range today 4 promarkers, paper lace, glue dots, quickie glue pen and calendars.

Came away with the calendars plus Forever friends Christmas decoupage set, 3 lots of christmas ribbon, 1 sheet of peel offs, gold and silver gel pens and 5 long note pads

Tonight I ordered my original list from Joanna Sheene minus the calendars! Delivered free
DH thought the 35mile round trip expensive waste of time :rolleyes:

If she doesn't like it I'm gonna tuck it under my arm and walk out with it :rotfl:.

Salesadmin - have you asked her if she has it? Which one is it btw someone might be able to find it for you.

I think I must have caught whatever Rusty had the other night - there's a lot of lovely sketches around at the mo - am trying to make as many xmas cards with them as possible - still have an anniversary card and 3 birthday cards plus the CP challenges to do for this month :eek:

I have a spare pastel pink one - I'll pop it in the post for you xx

Gemm, :starmod: you're a star and I'll pop some sprayed images back to you so that perhaps you could have a play to see if various colours work/don't work. Not sure if I still have your address so please can you pop it in, there's no hurry.

The Stampers Verse

It all began with just one stamp
And just one stamp pad too
Of course, things couldn't stay that way
And shortly, I had two.
This was quickly followed
By more stamps (three and four)
The craving had now started
I wanted more and more.
A teeny weeny garden set
With a lovely little rose
The cutest little teddy bear
I must have one of those.
A couple of those Inkums sets
A rollagraph or two
And then another coloured ink
For stamping I must do.
I really love those bear stamps
And country ones are nice
I see that Penny Black
Has some lovely little mice.
I think that I'm addicted now
It started just last year
I now can't pass a catalogue
Without just one more bear.
And then I joined some stamping lists
Upon the internet
From here I learned of other things
That I must really get.
I want to try some brayering
And pearl-ex powders too
Stamping on polymer clay
There's lots of things to do.
My husband is somewhat bemused
As are my children (three)
As I produce yet more stamped things
Keen for them to see.
And now I'm signed up for some swaps
One's a birthday card
The other is a teddy theme
Now that can't be too hard
I'd better go and start them now
I've six of each to do
I want to get them in the post
And then start something new......
