    I like the paw print.. mainly because I think it will stamp 'cleanest' and look most professional!

  • thanks all, i have emailed the seller and am awaiting a reply... if he needs a clean stamp teh the rint it will be :j

    right now i am very very glad i didnt win that auction i went to the asian shop today and they had so much new stock (its hard to expalin but the shop is huge anything you wanna buy you can prob find it there :) ~ ok some of the stuff is hit and miss like childrens toys/food/toiletries but the majority is great) i got 70 items for £62.80 now that included nearly 20 packets of embelishments, boxes, papers and many more and i now think thats it. I can prob make 400 card with what i brought. The only things i 'need' now are more cards and letters however i am hoping to print out these onto paper i have...

    So from having nearly £200 avalible i have only spent £84.05 is great :T just the stamp now and thats it...

    Its also me spent for the month :rotfl: i will try my hardest not to do any more spending ~ last night i brought my terramundi pot which i promised myself payday and now thats it ~ finished!

    The only thing i need is a large card from hobby craft to make my best friends birthday card so i shall get thet next weekend i am off then i just have my usual £10 per week to spend. I know i can do it and making all these cards will keep me busy.

    Anyways enough rambaling ~ off to do something productive on my day off :rotfl:

    Well done PAP on getting all that for so little. You are way under budget. Terramundi well & truly deserved - and you didn't think you would be getting it either did you? :)

    Good luck producing all the cards.....very industrious.

  • jet ~ i have emailed the stamp producers and he cant use the cat so i have sent him a different cat and i shall decide when the designs made ~ will be tricky though :rolleyes: Yes xmas cards are made ~ nearly. I should be up and running the weekend of 27th ~ i hope, its bringing it all together and getting it sorted... harder work than it seems :rotfl:

    la ~ yes loads under budget... the stamp will be £14 but other than that i think i am done except the ongoing costs like replacing glue/embellishments and cards at the momment though i shall stop buying and concerntrate on producing/selling... What i havent used (minus the stamp money) is now being sent back to my savings :T

    As for the terramundi yes i resigned myself to the fact that no matter what i did this month it would have to wait untill the following but... it was one of those things that i promise myself and never get it... and knowing the colour hasnt been relisted i had to get it. ok its an expense that i havent budgetted for however its done now :) The only thing i am worried of now is what happens regarding driving ;) but if i need to pay for more lessons then my instructor will have to wait :rotfl:

    Terramundi - but you were so far under the £200 budget, I really wouldn't lose much sleep over it. As long as it's a one off mind you! ;)

    beanie no i have no idea what that is. He very rarely gets them but when he does its a nightmare as they seem to feed on me... he usually has spot on untill the vet gave him frontline, i can now get it online with cashback so its not too bad £16 i think :rolleyes: much better than the £38 + £20 the vert used to charge

    my terr is striped it has a cream stripe white stripe and a purple stripe :D matchs my room perfectly, except no pink... I will only be putting £1 & £2 in there so i shall have to dig them out of my penny vw camper ready to put into it when it arrives... i am aiming to split my £10 weekly allowance down to £1 a day = £7 and an extra £1.50 at weekends, if i have a nsd the money will go in my terr as it is, but if i buy something the remainder of the £1 will go into my 5p pot and my vw :rotfl:I cant wait till its full and i can smash it :D
