Hello I hope you have enjoyed Easter? As always I never seam to get round to making as much as I would like!. But I've been doing a spot of shopping! Yes you always need more craft supplies! Really you do! Just lately I have been looking at the sizzix web site. Did you know they have a UK one and an American one! Which I actually think is a bit odd. Until you look at the items they have for sale then you realise how much more they have in America. That's annoying we have to live in hope some of the goodies will come to us. But what it has done has reignited my desire to work with some other media's. Every few days they update there blogs with new makes using products from the sizzix range which is one reason I have decided to head back to sizzix and I am buying a big shot from friend who is upgrading to a big shot plus. Plus I have also purchased another sizzix product but I am going to make you wait for that I am afraid as it's worthy of a video!. Sharpies!So this blog was meant to be a quick update and to say I am technically just taking a little family time out so my blogs will be less for two weeks, but I've ordered some new products to share with you so be sure to look out for my next blogs. Before I leave let me just share with you my love of sharpies. I picked up a massive set for £8 in WHSmiths but you can find similar deals in supermarkets from time to time. Now when I purchased these it was with the intention of decorating canvas bags, china the usual projects you would expect to use them for. Like most parents when my youngest asked if she could use my pink sharpie to colour with I didn't really want to let her. I mean £8 as a felt tip was a little steep for my budget not to mention the whole leaving the tops off! I'm not sure why I gave in but after explaining the importance of putting the lids on mummy's special sharpies I alloud my then 5 year old to use them. Wow take a look at the picture bellow, sharpies give the most intense colour I have ever seen from a felt tip ( OK they do go through the page but hey). Now I am not sure why but all of my children put the lids on they seam to know and they take care of them. My youngest uses them nearly every day and they are over 7 months old! And still going strong.
How many packs of ordinary felt tips would we have gone through in that time?. Well that's me done this blog. I hope what ever your up to this week you are having fun and taking on some crafty projects. Thanks for reading xxxx
