I got the new promarkers yesterday not sure if I like the colours though they are a bit dull:(

Oh no! Was thinking about ordering them but not sure now.

Made 10 (!) cards today for my DT swap thingy, finally used some Neighborwood paper flowers which I bought in a fit of "oh so pretty" and then never used lol! They've sat on my craft desk for ages giving me the disapproving look
Layered up different sizes and then stuck a nice co-ordinating button in the middle
Made a bit of a boo-boo in making up the first card as had planned to mount a smaller piece of coloured paper to get the white border round but got carried away and glued right up to the edge d'oh!! And typically had already cut out the paper pieces to the size I wanted :mad: So in an inspired moment I stuck ribbon round the edge and then stuck the paper on top of the ribbon

I'll pop a pic on my FB and if I remember will blob it too

If you look at my Valentine's card you'll see that there's a heart stuck on the main bird image. That's to hide a dot of glue I dropped on it. Sssshhhh!!

Yes please

I'm on a stash ban too ali, but not counting anything I buy with money made from selling old stash. It's a good cheat

Thanks to Mad-frog for the paper pad! The stamps are pretty cute too

Yesterday I transferred most of my stash into an a4 box file with bits that are too big stsying in a carrier bag and bits that are too small going in a little tub. I actually didn't realise I had so much stuff...

Oh bless you

I currently have:

Four drawers for my patterned paper
A chest full of Promarkers (five drawers)
A bedside table (three drawers) for white card and cards/envelopes
One drawer in a chest of drawers for 12x12 papers and my First Edition pads
A whole Ikea box full of stamps (Penny Black, House Mouse and LOTV)
Another box full of other stamps
Baskets for my nesties
A sewing box for embellishments (which doesn't include the 10 jars of buttons...!)

I really should put some photos up at some point. It's getting ridiculous.

I only started in September and have so much stuff.
