I received my order today from this shop:
http://www.quixoticpaperie.co.uk/
I ordered it a few days ago and was gutted when I saw that she's offering 10% off today (sunday). She stocks the new eline prima flowers and gems, so with the 10% off they're a great price. I ordered a few packs of the gems and I can't believe how big they are. I ordered a load of ribbon, gems, flowers and stamps and postage was only a quid (it depends on the weight of your parcel).

Well Done Gemma on your win!

Sorry you're feeling poorly Rainmac p'raps 'cos you've relaxed a bit now DS getting better yours is now coming out.

We went to IKEA with books today too. DH went in with one lot while I loked round M&S, then we each took 5 in & the young chap said 'Are you in the same household because it's only one voucher per household' so for a millisecond I moved in with MIL & when voucher was in my sticky hand I moved back home! Vouchers now spent & more besides. Thank you Rusty for the heads up.

Flourgirl - all I could think about on the way home from IKEA was a cup of tea & a piece of 'Alice' cake for supper - mmm yummy

Well i am not a happy bunny, hubby had said we could go to the nec but work have now said he can't have the day off! good job i didn't get tickets yet. We can't go at the weekend as we can't get anyone to have ds for the day and he would be a nightmare if he went.

I nipped to the range for the first time yesterday but it was 15 mins before closing so i had to hurry, I wanted a large clear block for stamping but they were £5 so left it. Is there any good prices around?

Hello ladies. I've been very lucky and managed to assemble lots of cards from images I'd already coloured. I've been sneakily doing them in between chores and cooking so it doesn't look as if I'm spending all day crafting! Thank goodness for new lego!

They are on my blog if anyone fancies a nosy!
