I got a load of new charts from Slinky they are super fantastic THANK YOU so much Slinky.

Just a parcel card that I missed my parcel and now have to go fetch it myself. I know it is for some charts and a sippy cup that I ordered from Herschners so am looking forward to getting it.

Yes, the postman brought me something nice from Kell.
She sent me some charts that she had saved out of a magazine,
autumn jar covers. They are really cute.
Fall is my favorite time of year.
I love the colors, the scents, falling leaves, cool air...everything about fall I love.

After days of no post due to snow, I had lots of lovely stash waiting for me at home yesterday. I got a big parcel from Katzxstitch (ebay seller) with another bundle of threads that I need for my SQ project. Think I just need 10 more then I'll have all 120 odd colours it needs

Also, got a lovely package of charts from Slinky - they're fantastic and many thanks for sending them out

some sugar paste, a cake drum (a thick cake board) and a box for the thomas the tank engine cake i am making for my cousin's son's 2nd birthday. My first time making a character shaped cake :S

STILL waiting for the art of crochet mag, and stashmas pressie, c'mon royal mail pull your finger out!!!!

A postcard to say my parcel was over the gate in the back garden!!
I ask you a six foot high gate and snow on the ground!
I had to put my boots back on, go around the back, unlock the other side gate and retrieve a waterlogged, bashed parcel from QVC.
So yes it would have been nice scrapbooking stash, but now it has to be returned!!
BTW it wasn't the postman - he's too sensible for that - it was a courier.

The guinea pig kit that I ordered in the sale at Stitcher. Looks like it will be fun to do. I'll post a pic when I start it.

I received a new DVD yesterday that I'd ordered - Midnight Express from the 80s. I used to have it on an old VHS tape and don't know what happened to it. I'm in the process of collecting a lot of old films I used to love.

I'm hoping my order from Sew & So will have arrived today when I get home - the tiger kit and a piece of Lugana for my next HAED. I've also just ordered a pack of 15 threads and another DVD (Shining Through) so lots of goodies on their way to me!

Some pretty buttons for my Stashaholic sampler!

What lovely unusual buttons, Mabel!

My "little woman" DVD came today and I watched it tonight and got all teary cause I feel a bit run down, lack of sleep, sick cat..nothing drastic but feel very fragile so it was good to get.

I also broke my new years resolution of "do not buy stash except magazines" and bought another kit It is a Margeret SHerry cat hanging in a tree, it was on sale and I got money for my birthday so I think that actually, I haven't really broken the new years resolution.

Of course you haven't

Does interlink count as a postman? If so...he brought me stash too

I have pastel card and bright coloured card, look how many colours I have to play with ^_^
I also have a lovely pack of rose writing paper!

Gorgeous buttons! Where did you find them?

I was going to go to the sorting office tomorrow to pick up the coasters my postie tried to deliver last week but instead I'm now going to put it off to the weekend so I can also get the sew and so order he tried to deliver today!

I got some charts from Slinky--thanks hun! I also got the new Herrschner's catalog.

A couple of things that might help if you're worried about everything coming out, Lisa: 1) make sure you really grease the pan well (I use crisco) 2) I usually bake my cakes 25 degrees F lower than what the directions on the box say (calls for 350, I bake at 325).

As I hoped, I got home to find my package had arrived from Sew & So with the tiger kit and a piece of Lugana in it. We must have a new postman - they left it leaning against my door in the damp! Luckily it didn't come to any harm and Sew & So always pack each item in a plastic snap bag inside the envelope anyway.

My usual postie, a young lady, normal puts packages in my cardboard and plastic recycling bin and sticks a note through my door to say it's there. Maybe she's on holiday or something - hope she's soon back!

....missing our post man for 3 weeks now....hope this week he'll finally visit me with my expected parcels...

i have had no mail, not even a bill. I only have one piece of stash coming, the margaret sherry kitty hanging on a tree.

I have been trawling ebay because it's just not right to have no stash coming but I made the new years resolution so I really should keep it.
