lol at popkins. I've been tidying mine for weeks and it sends me to sleep lol. I will not let it defeat me but we have had so much going on it's hard to get going. That and the realisation of just how much craft stuff i had. Ikea are doing nicely from me though 2 expedit units and some lekman boxes and some baskets and magazine holders. I bought 2 small baskets to put some packs of unmounted stamps in but i rather underestimated the amount i had .pmsl. I counted up my promarkers too and i had 62 and ordered another 16 last night and i'm going to try to get the rest before my birthday.My poor hubby shakes his head when he sees promarkers and stamps.

I'm waiting up patiently for the post man, so he can bring me my promarkers, or I might cry :rotfl: Got all my digi stamps out and ready to experiment on...And hopefully ribbon mad will come too!

I've got all my craft stuff in cardboard boxes all over the floor at the moment, desperately looking for cheap-ish storage for it.

Popkins - Snap, I think it must be a bad night for fibro everywhere!

Mel - Where do you get them from? I really want some now!

CG - I'm jealous of your promarkers/stamp collection. Are they hard to use?

lol at saucy . boy your postie comes early. mines lucky to make it by lunchtime.
I bought the expedits to store my stuff as i have quite a bit and needed something sturdy but not too expensive. My daughter bought one for storing her kids toys from ebay it was like new and was less than half the shop price.
I have some 12 x 12 paper storage trays on and they fit easily . I'll take some pics of the progress so far if i can tmz.
The promarkers are really easy to use just wish it was as easy to resist buying them .
As for stamps well i do have a liking for them . I may scare myself and count them up one day.
I bought loads of ribbons from crafty ribbons a few weeks ago and some of them are really beautiful. hope you enjoy yours.

My postman will probably come at 2pm, lol. But I'm excited anyway, I can't sleep and it feels like I've been waiting forever for my promarkers! I love ribbon, too, so I can't wait for that to arrive...

Forgot to order those scallopy things that you put the image onto a card on though, so will have to use printer paper and cut it out, and I'm not sure how that will look :S

I like ribbons sam my son went to the range last week and bought me the goody bag for 14.99 with the orange and yellow capsule collection in . It has lovely ribbons and the cutest buttons in.

scallopy things do you mean nesties they are another addiction thats catching lol

HopeAndDriftWood

I had to look up nesties, I need to learn the names of things! But yes that's what I mean, I think they make it much more professional but keep forgetting to buy some to try...No doubt I'll end up ordering some very soon!

I was looking at Peerless Colours as I had seen them mentioned on a blog tonight. Has anyone ever used them?? They look easy enough to use and are quite cheap. Looks like an American site.
