Rustyflange - no, you're not! Trouble is if i order the stickers that I want (and there's loads of them), then I'll have to order the matching papers too. I'm thinking of ordering loads for my xmas present to myself, getting them sent to my Mum's and then getting her to bring them up just before xmas, so that I won't have chance to play with them much before xmas and I'll have something to look forward to.

Think thats a brilliant idea Melissa Failing that you could do your OH a scrapbook for christmas? then you have the excuse to play aswell

That's a good idea too Rusty. I've got the scrapbooking bug now, I want to do scrapbooks for everyone, but i'm not sure who would appreciate them in my family. The OH's family aren't really into handmade stuff and crafting.

I think with scrapbooks you can get away with the handmade/crafting as they are personal if that makes sense. i.e the one you have done for you mum has pages of your children etc

The pages I have done for OH's recently are the best ones I have done so I guess practice makes perfect ... I am still practicing though lol

Rusty - I know what you mean. Its similar to what everyone was saying about their handmade xmas cards, I don't want to do a scrapbook for people who are just going to grunt and mutter "ta" when it has taken ages to make and cost a bit of money.

Just had Studio Cards catalogue come and there's a scrapbook in there -12 x12 for £2.99.......contains 12 inserts.,......thought it was a bargain till I saw delivery - £4.99 - all of a sudden its not so cheap.......

Decided to do one for baby grandsons birthday instead of this Christmas now so gives me time to hunt around for one.

My little card selling trip went ok last night saying it wasnt a full party I onyl hijacked a Body Shop party a friend was having and I still managed to sell £48 and £15 in orders so all in all not too bad

Mary - that sounds like a bargain. Sometimes there's codes for free delivery from Studio, I'll have a look to see if I can find one.
Saveapenny - sounds like you had a successful night! I think you probably made more money in one night than I have ever made from my cards - well done!

melissa - thanks. I've looked on the order form and can't see anything. There's an order code but doesn't say for free delivery. Then there's an online promotion code.........not sure about that one
