    Happy birthday padster - hope you've had a great day!
    Melissa - That's the lady I won the Laura Ashley stash off a few months ago. I wish I lived in Essex, I'd love to go to that craft session.
    Louby - good luck for tomorrow.
    Rusty - I see you're sorted now, but in future if you want any snag'em stamps have a look here. They're local to me so I can always pick them up if they're in stock and post them to you. They also do the card candy; and the offer is open to anyone who'd like me to shop for them.
    I've made 2 cards for the challenge, both halloween alathough one has monsters on as well. I'll post pics tomorrow when the light's better.

    Thankyou for the kind offer :D ...

    How does it feel to be crafting again :D ... can't wait to see your cards!!

    I still haven't caught up with blogs! nor have I crafted :(

    Feels good to be crafting again, thanks Rusty :) But also slightly scary :o I think I need to warm up a bit. As the best source of inspiration is often a new stamp I went back to funky kits to treat myself to the Manga girl, but it's gone :(
    some people grin and bear it, others smile and do it :)
  • Does anyone have this stamp

    If you do would you like to sell it to me?? :rotfl:

    No seriously does anyone know where I can buy one of these where the postage charges are no extortionate or the minimum order is £5!!! The glitterpot still haven't got back to me and I desperately need this stamp to make something!!! I have even checked ebay and there are none on there (or weren't 2 days ago!)


    I have it :)

    Will do you some if you want x

    Don't panic!!! ... I emailed them last week as both 1 and 2 have gone!! ... this was the reply I got from them ;)

    > Hello
    Thank you for your enquiry.
    The manga girl no1 and 2 are both on reorder at the moment with the factory.
    This may be a week or so before they are back in stock.
    kind regards

    Poop - was going to post here to put link to my first proper stab at colouring in with my promarkers but now Ican't find the pic and am too tired to go and take it again. Harumph!
    Couple of new scrapbook pages on my blog tho.

    Where has this evening gone - went upstairs to the craft room at 7pm - come down and its 11.15! Now I have tidying up, packed lunches, getting swimming stuff together and harvest festival donation together before I go to bed. Yikes!

    Rusty no it hasn't got here yet but postie reckons stuff piled up all round the country. Did you get yours this morning ? That stamp is fab i bought kaitlyn that set as she loves the mittens and polar bear too. She got the 2 new sets too from mod scraps when melissa posted a link with free postage.

    JHB I have the mangas if you want some stamping to play with while you wait for them to come in again.

    Rusty, posted the stamp this morning so hope you get it tomorrow/monday :D

    TheWife, thank you so much for your words of encouragement about the raffle. I am going to have a proper think over the weekend about who to approach and ask for donations ;)

    Craftygranny, OH and I made pigs of ourselves with Kaitlyn's sweets last night, god they were lovely!!! Glad your parcel arrived safely x

    I made loads of peg magnets last night, will post a pic later, I think they look great but OH is dubious anyone would buy a wooden peg with a magnet stuck on the back :rolleyes:

    Off to get my hair cut now, do I get loads hacked off ior a bit so I cam grow it, ooohhh don't know, don't know...

    Be back later x
