Welcome to a new week, and I hope you had a great weekend. I was busy with workshops (hi Andrea and friends, hi Colleen and friends) and my daughter's 8th birthday party. What a fabulous way to spend the weekend.

A couple of questions and comments came up about the noodle boxes I had at the end of this post.

They were chocolate-filled boxes I purchased, and simply removed the gold foil bow that was on the top. I wrapped the cartons in wide 1 1/4 inch striped grosgrain ribbons. Love that ribbon! It is suprisingly soft and very easy to work with even though it's wide.

The sentiment on the front was created in a flash courtesy of the Thanks embosslits die for the Big Shot die-cutting and embossing machine.

**Retiring item alert **

Yes, this embosslits die will only be available until the end of August (unless sold out earlier). Also retiring is a selection of the current season colours of wide striped ribbons, including Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Rich Razzleberry, Certainly Celery, Night of Navy and Early Espresso (my fave).

SOLD OUT ITEMS (as at 6th August)

* all the eyelets

* the large star punch

* the photo corners punch

Contact me to place your orders – I will process them immediately so you don't miss out. 

Happy stamping,

TIP: As with most photos on this website, just click on an image and a larger picture will open up in a new window. A bit easier on the ol' eyes. 

During August I will be highlighting some of the stand-outs on the Last Chance List, including some of the best deals and also my much-loved favourites.

We'll kick it off with the Biggest Discounts….

40% off, in fact!

Hmmm, nice!

I love the Gifted stamp set and used it a lot last Christmas, as in these tags below (left and right tags, retired paper).

Of course the Jolly Holiday 12×12 designer series paper (see below) was a favourite… I went through packets! And at only $10.17 for 12 sheets it's an absolute bargain now. Great for cardmaking, scrapbooking or off the page stuff like memory books… or Christmas trees!.

But my pick of the bargains is the Hodgepodge Hardware. Loving the 40% off!!!! You can read about some interesting uses of Hodgepodge Hardware here from a post a while back.

If you want to snap up any of these before they run out, just send me an email and I'll organise it for you straight away.

Happy stamping,
