    I'm back! Well done to the latest winner!

    No crafting for me today. Went to hobbycraft and bought Dp's for black and white challenge though. I also bought another Really Useful box as my dp's are bursting out of mine.

    It's a shame, I had part of my Donna's Den cancelled too but can't complain - I still got some bargains. :D

    crafty granny - I like your way of thinking! ;)

    I blame paypal everytime the word manga appears on funky kits site it chucks them in a basket and pays for em using my paypal account. Very strange but i'm not looking for a cure lol. It's addicted to sugar nellies too.

    But a bit disappointed as ordered some stuff from Donnas when I ordered it said what stock was in but then got an email saying they werent - boo :-( thought I had got a bargain - oh well save my pennies for another day.

    Yes, I got an email saying 11 of my items weren't in stock! You'd think as people ordered it would automatically go down. Bit upset, some stuff I really wanted, and others were presents for people. When I buy something, it's because I want it (as with everyone I suppose!) - and can deal with one or two bits, but 11!!

    She asked if I wanted to swap anything, but don't know how, as everything I'd picked was in stock when I selected it!

    Also - did anyone get an order confirmation after they paid? I didn't, so I've no idea what I've ordered now and when it arrives, I won't know if I got everything I paid for.

    Out of everything, I particularly wanted the christmas tree shaped card blanks, the Craftime 'Christmas' Buttons, of which I'd ordered three lots, and the magic motifs in various patterns.

    Does anyone know where I get them cheaply please?

    I've found the Christmas cards I'd like, and the magic motifs.

    I can't find the Craft time Christmas buttons on eBay. I really like them - has anyone seen them in any craft shops please? Thank you!

    I think Hobbycraft sells Craftime stuff, you may be lucky there? I think Donna hasn't been able to keep up with stock levels as so may people have been ordering, such a shame you can't get 11 of your items :(

    Morning,


    Jezzebelle all mine was out of stock as well, which is good for Donna, Dunelm Mill sell craft time stuff,

    Hello everyone else, I have just dropped DH to the hospital for his check up, Fingers crossed he will still be clear, and I have to go back to work today ( booo) still it gives me money to get stash so I can't complain, I think I have finally mastered matting and layering, It's easier to do using my gullotine, it has cm markings in it and you can measure it easier, we will be having an easy weekend so hopefully I can catch up on blogs and posts properly
    Take care Jo x

    I don't have a Hobbycraft, and the postage is about £4, so a bit much. A shame because I want a couple of bits there, but I would have to go on a big spending spree to justify £4!

    You'd think stock levels would be automated? Her website also allows you to put items out of stock in your cart and pay for them, without really highlighting they're out of stock. That's frustrating for her as well.
