With Love And Sympathy...

I'm late..I'm late...for a very important date...

The only date I'm late for is the one with my big, comfy bed, which I should be in by now! If I type really quickly I might just get snuggled down before midnight.

My boy has done his job. He actually quite likes the job of picking out a name, just so long as I cut the little slips of paper, write all the names down, fold the papers and place them in a jar. His job is to shake them up and pick one out, and tonight he picked...

Here's hoping you have a loveky rest nd come back refreshed and ready to get cardmaking again. I would love these, that sentiment is lovely.

Marianne if you can please EMAIL ME with your full postal address then I can get them in the mail to you.

I will try my best to get some more stamps for re-homing on here before I go away.

Thanks for looking.

With Love And Sympathy...

I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather we've been having...long may it continue! I love the sunshine but it spells the start of 'silly season' at work. A couple of days of sunshine and the phones are ringing off the hook with 'urgent call outs'...as if we weren't busy enough already! But I'm not complaining, we are a small business and in this economic climate when our competitors - both big and small companies - are laying engineers off and struggling to find work, we are doing OK. And I need my job...just to keep me in new rubber and paper :)

No card to show today :(
I know, I know. I am a disgrace to the card making community and probably should have all my stash confiscated and be drummed out of blogland.
My Mojo vanished weeks ago and still hasn't come back, and I have neither the energy nor the desire to get inky. It's bloody terrifying actually! What will I do if it never returns?
I have the rest of this week in work and then I am off on my Jolly Holly's for a week and it can't arrive quickly enough. I am praying that a week of R&R will bring the missing Mojo crawling back, begging for my forgiveness...I hope so anyway.
We are going to take off in Bessie for a few days and see where we end up...though the first stop in Tetney is already organised :)

In the meantime I am still trying to re-organise my craft room, dusting all the crooks and nannies and clearing out the unwanted stash.
I have a duplicate set of the stamps below. They are brand new red rubber stamps by Stampin' UP in the dvd case. It's only a small set consisting of 3 stamps (two sentiments and the flower image.)

I always find sympathy cards very hard to make but I think a nice sentiment goes a long way.
Today is one of those family remembrance days when we go to the cemetery to leave flowers on the headstone and I thought it an appropriate day to put these stamps on here.

If you want them then please leave a comment.
Thanks for looking

Just Catchin' Up

I'm back from our little trip away and the first job the boy did was to pick out a name, and the winner of the Stampin' Up set of stamps is:

Elaine you are so generous!
I would gladly took care of these stamps at home.
Hugs Tanya xx

If you could please EMAIL ME  with your full postal address Tanya and I will get them in the mail to you.

I think Tanya lives in Russia? That will be a first for me...never posted to Russia before :)

Back to the weekend...we went away in Bessie and ended up at Harrogate. Now I decided months ago that I wouldn't be going to this craft fair, because

A) I really don't need anything and 

B) I didn't have much money to spare this month, so I totally blame my husband for taking me there :)

And I had a fabulous time!! The best bit was meeting up with friends, and first up was the lovely Christine and this time we also met Barry who is just the nicest man ever. We went for a coffee and a catch up and before we knew it 12 noon was approaching and I hadn't done any shopping! Christine is so adorable and I always love being in her company.

Then me and the hubby went for a walk around the stalls...boy it was busy! We should've been having lunch but I was feeling under the weather and didn't feel much like eating, so instead we went for a coffee and cake with Jill from The Hobby House - Jill is a peach and I always love to see her too- before I knew it 4pm was here and the show was closing in half an hour!

I didn't actually buy much stuff but I had the most fabulous day out...I'll take a photo this week of the stash.

Oh...but my lovely hubby did buy me a couple of things :)

Yesterdays 'feeling under the weather' has turned into a full blown cold, with the usual sore throat, snotty nose, cough, headache and this time the added bonus of conjunctivitis...two green and sticky eyes...lovely huh?

For someone that's never ill I've not been doing too well this year...it seems like I no sooner get over one cold and I'm starting with another - this is the 3rd cold I've had in 3 months and it's really starting to bug me now!

I have a huge pile of emails in my inbox waiting for a reply...please bear with me if you are one of those still waiting, I'll do my best to answer as many as possible this week.

...Still Cleaning Out My Craft Room.

All stamps for re-homing have been duly posted. The ones I could just stick a stamp on and pop in the mailbox were posted on Tuesday, the ones that needed additional stamps or needed to be sent airmail were posted on Wednesday as I couldn't get out of work before the Post Office closed.

We are going on a little trip this weekend so my clearout will have to be put on hold which annoys me...I'm on a roll here! Plus I hate leaving a job half done.

I have a spare set of these:

Stampin' Up Outlined Occasions stamps, from the sale-a-bration catalogue. Again, these are the foam mounted rubber stamps in a dvd case.

Just leave a comment and the boy can pick a name when we get back home.

Thanks for looking.

LOTV Stamps.

Firstly, a big thank you for all your kindness and well wishes. Bloggers are such lovely people :)

Secondly..sheesh! They went well!

I was hoping someone would take them off my hands...I just didn't expect so many of you!

In the interest of fairness, all names have been written on paper and the boy picked out the names, though had I known how many people wanted them I would've added the linky thing cos it's way too boring writing out all those names!

Just to answer a couple of questions:

If I put candy on here or stuff I want to rehome, I will post anywhere in the world and I do not expect anyone to pay the postage, but thank you for offering.

So the following names have been picked, please can you all  EMAIL ME with your full postal address.

Anne

Janette

Kimberly

Anita

Jenny

I am sorry if your name isn't there but I do have more crafty stuff to pop on here :)

Thanks for looking.

...Still Cleaning Out My Craft Room.

These stamps have all been re-homed now :)
Well my Mojo is still on vacation! There is nothing creative in my head at all. 

To be truthful, 2012 is turning out to be a crappy year and it's only March! I think I've heard enough bad news to see me through 'til 2013.

So having no inclination or desire to make anything has resulted in me clearing out my craft room instead.

I know I go through phases with which papers I use, which colours and which stamps. No...maybe not which stamps as I always seem to reach for my Sugar Nellies:)

But I have found that there are certain stamps I buy but never seem to use. They are all brand new, so maybe someone else can use them:

Baby's 1st Christmas.

Bubble Bath

Bunny Cupcakes.

Christmas Candle.

Dandelion Clock.

Get Well Bunny.

It's My Party.

Jenny Bear - Gifts Galore.

Lucky Cats.

Me And My Cat.

Star Of Wonder.

If anybody wants any of them, please leave a comment and add which ones you want.

Sorry...I meant to add..they are free to good homes :)

Thanks for looking.

I Love Stampin'

I love stamping and I love stamps of many different kinds.

Stampin' Up was a brand I'd never had until about a year ago, because I didn't realise I could just place an order with a demonstrator without having to go to or host a party.

I can place my order - big or small - and within just a few days my goodies will be delivered direct to my door. I particularly love the sentiments, the cardstock, and the inks.

I am not a demonstrator, but if anyone wants to know where to buy SU from I know a couple of lovely ladies you can place your orders with.

Thank you for your kind comments and thoughtfulness regarding my kitty, you are all so lovely :)

I asked hubby to pick a number...and he picked No 12, so Fiona Lawlor please EMAIL ME with your full postal address and I will pop the stamp set in the mail to you on Monday.

I will be back over the weekend with another set :)

Thanks for looking
