Lawn Fawn Haul

A couple of my good crafty friends wondered if I was ordering from lawn fawn as there were a few items they wanted, of course I said I was but I didn't have enough to qualify for free shipping so they added to my order to make that happen lol.

I haven't shown their items as I didn't think it would be fair for them to see them on youtube before they got them in person, however as it has taken so long to upload the videos I needed have worried lol.

Thanks for watching

Papertrey ink haul

Yet another Papertrey ink haul lol! I haven't ordered much this time as I only ordered a few months ago and there wasn't as much that I had to have. I have been using their ink and card though so ordered a few of those.

Space and weight allowance are always a consideration so I don't take all the card home in one trip.

Thanks for watching

Joann's Haul

I ordered a couple of times when Joann had their free shipping offer but decided to combine them into one haul video. I actually ordered the perk me up stamp 4 times before but it was always out of stock, I jumped for joy when the shipping notice showed it was included.

I had never considered ordering from Joann.com before seeing Emchanted Stephs video on youtube, she showed the Stamping Bella Uptown girls so I had to go look. I have since found lots of hard to find stamps on their website so I think for my next trip this will be the first place I order from.

Thanks for watching

MFT Shop Haul

I attended a crafting workshop at MFT and learned how to make a recessed stamped card, so easy and so effective. So of course whilst I was there I had to have a little crafty spend too.

I have already played with the inks and they are amazing, the black sticks to clear stamps and gives such a perfect impression, I think I need all the colours now.

Thanks for watching

MFT half price haul

MFT announced a half price sale on some of their die and stamp combos and also the stax in July/August. I was going to wait until I visited the shop but I knew some would be sold out so I ordered online. A few days later they reduced the sale to 75% off so of course I had to place another order. I still visited the shop too.

Michaels Haul Video

Happy Sunday morning everyone, I want to apologise for not visiting and commenting as much as normal and hopefully normal service will be resumed shortly.

I was on vacation in Florida in at the end of September and made quite a few videos of my crafty haul but have only just managed to edit and upload them. I will list them separately on my blog over the next few days but they are all live on my youtube account if you want to see them altogether.

The first one I have for you is a very small Michaels haul, I only purchased a few items and although I still love Michaels my online ordering means I spend less and less with each visit.

Thanks for watching, check back tomorrow for the first of two MFT hauls.

MFT Shop Haul

Now I couldn't very well visit Florida and not stop into the MFT shop in Eustis could I. Had a fantastic time and was made to feel very welcome and Martin entertained hubbie while I shopped, was funny though when I couldn't find a die I wanted and everyone started looking only to find it directly in front of my face lol.

So onto the haul, I had a list but you know how it is there is always things that in person are more tempting than on screen and this certainly happened here.

Thanks so much for looking

All that Scraps Haul

I placed my first order with all that scraps.com and was really surprised how little I needed to spend before there was free shipping, I only ordered three things but am really pleased with them all. I saw the birthday sentiment stamps at a Bristol Playday when Tanya was using them and I thought they were perfect, the little fairies are so dinky and cute and I even asked Mary how big they were before I ordered them and finally more Christmas sentiments cos you can never have too many words lol.

Hope you enjoy watching and I will be back later with a few more haul videos.

Second Papertrey Ink Haul

My second order is smaller than the first one and is mostly the new release stamps and dies with a few inks for good measure.

I wasn't sure if I would like the cardstock and now wish I had ordered more, oh well there is always the next trip.

I so wish I had bought the harlequin plate and stamps now, maybe there is time for a third order lol....

Thanks for looking

First Papertrey Ink Haul

So I have been watching lots of Papertrey Ink hauls, mostly Michelle from the Card Grotto and thought I really should order a few of their products as everyone seems to rave about them so this is my first haul from them. In fact I was so impressed with how quickly this arrived I placed another order to so expect to see that one very soon.

In my first order I ordered mostly stamps and matching die sets oh and of course some cardstock and ribbon.

Thanks for looking

Man v food

Hi everyone
On Monday we visited Yoders Amish Restaurant in Sarasota as featured on Man v Food and had a fabulous breakfast, we enjoyed it so much that after shopping we went back for Dinner.

Below are the before and after shots of both mine and hubbies breakfast. Hubbie had the raspberry and cream cheese French toast and I had the apple fritter French toast.

Before

After

Below are the before and after shots of both hubbies and my dinner, pressure cooked fried chicken is simply the best. We ordered pie as well but had it to go as we were so full. I had strawberry rhubarb and hubbie had red raspberry.

Taylored Expressions Haul

By now from my lack of posts you may have guessed I am on holiday, I arrived over a week ago and have been shopping and chilling ever since, I have been trying to visit and comment but sometimes pie gets in the way lol.

This is the first of several haul videos I have made as I went a little bit mad with the craft online shopping.

I placed my first order with Taylored Expressions in April and was so impressed I knew I would be back for more. There was a special offer on copics so I ordered quite a few and also some of the new memento colours and I had to try her dies as well. Only 1 stamp set and no paper pads this time, I am ashamed to say I haven't cut into any of the ones I bought in April, must stop hoarding paper Amanda lol.

This is the first of several haul videos I have to show you, I haven't filmed all the smaller hauls so will do a further one when I get home.

MFT Stamps - First Stash Haul Video

Welcome to my very first stash video. I ordered online from MFT stamps and thought I would show you what I bought, please be gentle with me as it is my first video and I also thought i would film the journey from my front door to the dining room to show you a bit of our home in Florida but forgot to speak lol.

Thank you for looking

Hello its been a while

Morning All

Just wanted to let you all know I am alive and well. I have been a bit sporadic in the posting and commenting part of blogging as I have been in Florida. I tend to use an ipad when I am away and find commenting a bit more time consuming than sat at my puter, I have still been visiting you all and looking at your wonderful creations though.

So I suppose you would like to see my bargains lol.

I seem to have bought a lot looking at the photo. All the halloween crafting goodies were in the clearance section at Walmart and cost wait for it.....24 cents each. I spotted a set of shaped cards whilst waiting for hubbie and his brother and that was it I was hooked. In the end hubbie took me to three walmarts just in case I missed any bits.

On my last day I spotted these cricut carts, they were marked at $20 so I picked three and went to the checkout were the very helpful operator asked if they were from the clearance section so I said yes and she informed me that they were 50% off the marked price that day only......so I bought the three and went back to tell hubbie and he insisted I buy all the ones I didn't already have lol. I know he is wonderful and no I don't lend him out.

hope to be back visiting and commenting later.

TTFN
