The crazy lady is let loose in Tesco's

If anyone was watching me this morning whilst wandering around Tesco's they would have been on the phone to the funny farm to get the men in white coats to come and get me.
I have seen these amazing card boxes / bin on peoples blogs and also there is a thread about them running on ILWS.

Box 1

Box 2

So there I was before work this morning combing the aisles of my local Tesco with a packet of c6 envelopes in my hand measuring all of the boxes to see if they fitted the bill for this project, I carefully emptied the boxes & e stacked the shelves. I found 3 that were suitable but the one I really wanted was full. So back I went after work & it was half empty, again i carefully re stacked the shelves & took the box. The checkout assistant thought it was hilarious & was intrigued why I wanted them, when I explained she thought it was a cool idea.
I can only imagine what the security guards were thinking if they were watching the cctv footage.
So next time you see someone acting odd in a supermarket........................It could be me on another mission to find something to alter.

Looking for inspiration for flower card swap

Over on ILWS I am running the may swap and it was decided that we would try a themed swap, Flowers everywhere is he chosen theme.

I have been searching around for inspiration & these are two of the cards I have come up with, I am not using either so i thought i would share them with you.

The card below is a winter cloche hat in chocolate chip the stamp in the flower is from the scandinavian season set from the Mini catalogue, this set is available until 30th September 2009. So if you fancy this georgous Christmas set its only available for a short time. You can place an order with me at anytime by e-mailling me.






If anyone fancies joining a 10 card swap over on ILWS please pop over and check out the post.

Thank you's

A couple of thank you's for lovely hand crafted items I have received this week.

The first i received last week from another Stampin' Up demonstrator in with her submissions to swap 6.
Its a really cool idea & inside is a packet of tissues.


Another thank you goes to my upline Michelle who popped into see me last night & bought me Stampin' up notebook & pen.



Both items are proudly displayed in my craft room............... A big thank you too you both.

Stampers 10

Would you like to join a Stampin' Up! Club?

A stamper’s club is an opportunity for you to build up a comprehensive Stampin Up collection over a period of time(either 6 or 10 months) without breaking the bank and ensuring you still receive the fantastic hostess benefits associated with a qualifying order.

You would commit to a ten month membership, agreeing to spend £15 per month from the catalogue. (That’s £3.75 per week - the price of a magazine!) More is allowed, and if you know that you will want to spend at least £30 per month, then you can take two slots

A qualifying order each month has a minimum value of £150.

For this the hostess is eligible to the following FREE benefits:

One level one hostess stamp set of her choice (these are sets that cannot be bought, they can only be earned with qualifying orders of £150 or more)

At least £15.00 worth of free product to be spent in the catalogue

Free catalogue 2008/9

Free mini catalogue

Free postage (hostess month only)

Each month a DIFFERENT member gets to be the hostess and collects all the free benefits associated with that month's total.

I will hold the workshop with make & takes at my home & all you have to do as hostess of the month is to provide soft drink & some nibbles.

If you wish to join the stampers 10 and don’t live locally that’s not a problem, you can still qualify for the hostess benefits.

To run this club we would need either:

10 members to commit for 10 months with a minimum spend of £15.00 plus P&P.

Or

6 members to commit for 6 months with a minimum spend of £25.00 plus P&P

When does it start?
As soon as I have enough members, the club can start - so if you know anyone who would be interested please tell them. Internet access is not essential for membership.

Each month I will run a challenge on my blog. If you send me a picture of what you make with your kit, then your name will be entered into a draw for free goodies from the catalogue
