One thing that flew out on the sale weekend was the AMERICAN CRAFTS cardstock packs, so some of us cried as we didn't get a chance to buy them and some of us kicked the person in front who brought the LAST ONE.....and ME.......well I ordered more didn't I!!! and TODAY they arrived in all their glory They are super dooper packs of lusciousness, containing 60 sheets of cardstock textured on one side and smooth on the other and when you tear them they have a coloured core, basically they're a bit like a hybrid of Bazzill and Core-Dinations, the quality is fantastic and they only work out 29p a sheet, YES that's right 29p a sheet, we have them in PRIMARYS, PASTELS, TROPICALS, BRIGHTS, NEUTRALS, EARTHTONES, ALL BLACK AND ALL WHITE. ooh err missus!!! We've also had deliveries of new PUNCHES, the most gorgeous MAKING MEMORIES albums, MAKING MEMORIES tiny glitter alphabets, and New STAMP SETS that INCLUDE the acrylic block at a fantastic price, I might add!!! Don't worr...

Well after an incredibly BUSY weekend I had a lovely RELAXING day with a very special friend. We try to get together once a month and usually do the girly thing and go to Bluewater for the day and end up looking at tops that we realise are actually dresses, we then feel really old and depressed for the rest of the day, but, TODAY was different, TODAY we went to the cinema or (pictures) as I still call it. We decided to still do the girly thing and watch the Chick Flick CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC, and in my opinion ..........it was absolutely BRILLIANT.....here's a little teaser for you if you haven't already seen it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5muyAz5DYM . The dance scene is soooo FUNNY, I have read all the books, I love Sophie Kinsella, she's a brilliant writer, it is slightly different but excellent nonetheless. After we'd scoffed our M & M Peanuts, we still needed/wanted more food, so trotted off to Chicago's (not been there before) and had lunch, and ve...

I would like to introduce this gorgeous little bundle that goes by the name of LOLA and guess what???? her brother's called Charlie !!! We love the fact that she's shouting our name out loud, go Lola, go Lola!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU sooooo much for your support this weekend, it's been the best SALE ever and we're so glad you got yourselves some real bargains. We couldn't do it without you!!! We're expecting all the new goodies from the States very SOON, those of you registered on our mailing list will be getting a very special invite to be amongst the first to get your hands on all the new stash, so keep an eye out for that e mail. Normally I'd waffle away on here, but to be honest I am soooo tired, my feet feel like they've been walking on hot coals and I think I'm about to drop, so I've got my day off tomorrow (lunching with a friend, you know)!!! and I'll be bouncing back on Tuesday. Once again THANK YOU, we truly do have the BE...

I'm guessing it wasn't as eventful as mine.....it started simple enough, off to Lakeside with She Who Shall Remain Anonymous (SWSRA) up the A127, tried to turn off at the A128 only to find it completely snarled up then on to the M25, again, to find that chocca as well, fortunately SWSRA knew a back route through Upminster, so a little out of the way but kept moving none the less, now I'm going to digress.....I'm sure most of you are aware of such a thing as 6 degrees of separation, well this was more like a catastrophe of events. It all starts with two of our lovely customers, whom again shall remain anonymous! who begged and pleaded and kicked and cried to get on our already fully booked year album course (well actually they both asked very politely with just a little grovelling), us being the gorgeous lovely people that we are said YES, now this meant that I would have to get my lovely hubby to make our work tables longer, as they only seat 10, so off I trots to Ikea ...
