What a day.....

Morning folks and how did the filing go I hear you ask...well it didn't quite go according to plan....I did manage to get 2 folders done...all neat and tidy...with an index inside the front cover with product numbers.....told you I was a neat freak didn't I...
that was as far as I got and the rest have been abandoned on the cubbyhole floor until another day......I got ever so slightly distracted when....

the doorbell rang...it's Mr Postie with my new residents and yes that is one of Sir Tim's new Alterations....still waiting for the rest to come into stock....and can't believe I have eventually got my hands on that gorgeous Papermania Bauble stamp that I missed out on last Christmas.....and as if that isn't enough excitement for one day.....

I get an e-mail from the lovely Jacqui at Simply Create....she is on her way with my Hero Arts stamp order and some other goodies.....well can't tell you about that just yet...but watch this space....
by now I am positively hyperventilating with excitement and overcome with rubber stampitis....but I did manage to finish the card I was working on...a little sneaky peek...you won't be seeing this one for quite a while.....it's for a very special lady who has a special biggy birthday coming up soon.

and I am beginning to think I have developed that dreaded disease..(obsessio storage-itis) ....I have been looking for some nice baskets for my newly decorated en-suite to hold all the toiletry things.....and then I spotted just what I wanted in Tesco but they were in a white metal tower...reduced to half price...so I took out the baskets and was all ready to ditch the tower when I had a brainwave....perfect storage for all Sir Timmie's stuff...next job...making little  labels for the Distess Inks and hey I'm left with plenty space just in case I feel the need to have even more of his gorgeous products.


Believe me I needed a cuppa and a lie down after my mega exciting day.....back tomorrow hopefully with some samples made with the brand new download from Funky Hand and maybe another sneaky peek.
And my growing by the day stamp collection pales into insignifigance when you see this....prepare yourselves to be amazed folks....perhaps you had better sit down before you click HERE

Catch up with you all later

Edited to add: To answer Tina's question....at first I thought my bauble stamp was fine but when I went to check....yes the rubber has been put on squint and so is the image on the front...just goes to prove that you get what you pay for in the crafty world too....a good quality stamp of this size should retail for about £15-£18.00 so at £6.99  so it looks like we are getting an inferior product but how difficult is it to make sure the image is put on straight.    I know I am always banging on about Hero Arts and yes they are a bit more expensive...but hey I have never had an inferior stamp from them....shame on you Papermania.....won't be buying from you again....and it's surely not a coincidence that we both have faulty stamps.
