Sounds really good to me Polly as unlike others, I haven't made any Xmas cards yet but have ordered a few Xmasy bits from onestopcardcrafts so should be able to do something nex week

Must be the time of the year then, I ordered christmas stamps... And some shimmer embossing powders... and some ink pads...

Even more annoyed I missed the postman now... Any other day and he wouldn't of come till lunch time! Trying to weigh up now whether to go for a re-delivery or go to town and fetch it...

Just bought the cutest thing - it's a B&W stamp from Partners, it's of a bull terrier looking up to the camera, but it makes an almost photographic quality stamp! Think I'll use it as my logo on the back of my cards!

Oh and I bought 100 envelopes and some other card bits from OneStop - the 25% discount over £10 was too good! They must be wondering where the sudden influx of business has come from, haha...!

My - you have all been buying loads, I'm glad that I'm not the only one. I've been buying a few bits from ebay, I've got to wait for everything though as I got it all sent to my Mum's, I think she's coming up next week - fingers crossed!
I thought I would show you all a few cards that I made last week for my brother-in-laws 21st as I haven't posted any pics for ages:
they were really easy to do, I just used some "lili of the valley" toppers that I got from ebay, (I hate doing men's cards - so boring!).
