Good Saturday Morning Ladies,
We had another chilly day yesterday, the sun was beautiful though, part of the garden in the shade stayed frost covered all day. We are forecast a wet and cold weekend, Soph is off today and wants to go to Costco (Experience has shown that Saturday is not the best idea)! The things we do for our children! 🤣
I picked up two Poinsettias the last time Lucy and I popped to garden centre, these ones were reduced to £4, I couldn't resist them because of their colour, I haven’t seen a Pink Poinsettia before and the variegated leaves really appealed to me, I don't think I've ever had a Poinsettia, it does sound like they are tricky keep though.
My Bargain
I love the sentiments and that string of lights,
All with matching dies!
These lovely Tree stamps & sentiments plus
Matching dies
The sentiments are really useful too.
The String lights have a matching stencil
Mistletoe sprig stencil with matching die.
Some body was selling the whole collection for £33 posted on a Facebook Destash group, I really like Gina K stamps as they are great quality, it's harder to find them here, so I wanted to snap it up! I'm pretty sure one stamp and die set would be more than that price, even if I used only the sentiments I'd be happy!
Karen
Karen has shared her crafty Birthday gifts with us, WOW Karen that lovely set of Pencils is an amazing gift, its lovely to know you have every colour you'll ever need ! I have read really good reviews on these pencils too, I can't wait to see how you get on with them and see what you create.
That Crackle stencil is great, a good size too, I totally recommend that Winsor & Newton Calligraphy ink, its perfect for splatters, less messy the flicking those posca pens.
Thank you for sharing your birthday gifts with us XXX
Sonia
Sonia ordered these lovely stamps from Inkylicious, I really love how the sentiments are worded in all of them. These are perfect for journal pages too.
Thank you so much for sharing your lovely stamps with us. XXX
I hope that you all have a great Saturday,
Love & hugs to all of you,
Sandra xxx
That is such a great saying but I’ll never remember to use that phrase
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your bargiSandra They look amazing
I love your stamps Sonia especially the “life” one because it can be shit at times
I hope to start the colour chart that came with the pencils I am really looking forward to using them and hope they live up to the reviews I need a relaxing day Going out later with daughter One of her friends is doing a little craft fair Should be interesting
Take care everyone xx
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteLove the quote 😊
Your poinsettias are beautiful. I used to get one every year but haven’t done the last few Christmas’s. I did have a red one which lasted a good couple of years - surprisingly as I’m not very good with plants.
Your Gina K bundle is fabulous and a really good bargain. I can’t wait to see what you create 😊
Fantastic birthday gifts Karen, you were very lucky, enjoy 😊
Have a good day everyone
Sending hugs to you all xx
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteWhat a dreadful weather we are having today after the cold but sunny week we had. I have stayed in my cozy wear and had the heating on and soon the Chinese takeaway is arriving.
Some lovely items that you have bought, very useful all of it 😉. The Poinsettias are beautiful Sandra. I usually buy a new one for every Xmas, only once have I had the luck and kept one for a couple of years.
Lilian, hope you are okay and have a lovely time with family.
Brenda, hope you're ok and your back is better today. Take care both of you.
Sue, hope that Longleat was as good as the weather and the zoom worked well 😉
Have a good evening all. Many hugs to you all, xxx
Hi all, family gone home.
ReplyDeleteGreat saying.
Love all the shopping, especially the Gina K stamps and dies.
Karen your pencil look good, take a little practice to get the best of them.
Sonia your stamps are good, not seen them before.
Night all Lilian
