These are a few of my favourite things....

Over at Funkykits they have released 4 new Elisabeth Bell designed stamps and they are gorgeous, needless to say I have already ordered all 4: chick a dee; peek a bunny; spring has sprung and scattering love. As well as a couple of Hamish stamps as I need to build up some boy stamps. They are also taking pre-orders for the brand spanking new Gorjuss Girls set by Suzanne Woolcott which I think I might just have to invest in too.

Angela at Angel Crafts has got some fab new stock in too, including all 92 Letraset Promarkers as well as some of the 5 pack sets and a brilliant bulk buy package. Again I just couldn't resist, and have gone for about 2 dozen lol, just to fill the gaps in my collection you know :) Angela also has her new February ribbon kit which is very yummy. Something else I had to add to my basket was the Funky set of 3 Stamps Away clear stamps - these really are a must for scrapbooking, I already own the Journalling Label Shape and Round Scalloped Journaling stamps from there, and they are great for making co-ordinating journalling spots on your layouts.

Robin Redbreast

just saw this fat wee robin on the Norway Spruce in the garden and had to try and catch him with the camera - miraculously he was still there when I got back with the camera. Its a wee bit grainy because I had to zoom in quite a bit in case I scared him.

Its arrived....

the snow! - woke up this morning in a winter wonderland, so promptly went back to bed and let Graham do the school run. Our car is absolutely useless in snow, but I'm used to driving in this kind of weather so it doesn't really bother me - what does bother me is the other numpties on the road who can't leave their brake pedals alone.

The snow is starting to soften a bit at the moment but the sky is full of snow and it looks like we're in for more tonight woohoo.

Well, not much else to report today really - got the Feb issue of Cardmaking and Papercraft with my tesco grocery shopping delivery this morning and I really like the free stamps on the cover. I'm not normally impressed with a lot of cover gifts in craft magazines but I really like these.  They're designed by Dulcie Jackson. 

New Baby 1
