    Well houseworks not getting done - just a phonecall from one of my friends and she's won a holiday to Florida, so as you can imagine there's been much squealing and jumping up and down ( and that was just me). Poor girl is busting to talk to her DH and where is he?? Stuck on the M25 along with mine! I'm so pleased for her, cos she's had a horrid couple of years, so this will be brilliant for them.

    Wow how lucky is your friend winning a holiday to Florida im off there next year but i got to pay for mine :D

    PONR - I've got the ivy punch and love it, which one did you get? I keep looking at the rose leaf. I wish they'd bring out a nice flower punch range as the embossing is brilliant on them

    I got the beech leaf one as I thought it would go with most flowers!!! It looks abit like a rose leaf actually!!!! I must look at the ivy one as I will be ordering more of these. You don't have to press hard either!!

    How lovely for your friend - it's nice when deserving people win fab things!!!

    ScattyJan - I'm glad to hear that you're feeling a bit clamer now about the house.

    There's a huge summer sale on at Angel Crafts - the new MME So Sophie papers have been reduced to 74 or 75p a sheet so I've just bought loads. There's also a few cheap paper pads, loads of cheap flowers and a few really cheap October Afternoon papers - I bought a couple of packs of rub ons to go with the papers that I've already got.

    OOh just had a look - what a shame the postage is so high on Angel Crafts. It really puts me off ordering even when there is a sale on. She'd do better to reduce her postage abit!! I am loving the craft shops that give free postage and post the same day!!!!

    Melissa75 - I'm not going to look at that link - not even a peep!! Thanks for posting though. x

    PONR - I think the beech leaf might be the rose leaf in my muddled little mind:o Agree that no effort is required unlike the Nellie punches!!

    Giggle we're off to Florida next year too - where you staying?

    Pointofnoreturn - I agree - the postage is a bit steep there - I did order quite a bit though - so it wasn't too bad!!!!

    Yes if you ordered alot then it would be worth it as you can justify it then!!! I tend to order a few things so for me when they have high postage I avoid!!! Grafton Crafts were great, fast, free delivery and they seem to price their things lower than the market rate so that was fab!!!
