Burble along with me in my dream world

WOYWWis it my number11? (slept in a bit!)

Groundhog day again-ha ha ha-and just to prove it blogger uploaded my piccies 3-yes THREE times. Had to carefully delete in case I ended up with 3 the same.
Commercial break-get over to THE STAMPING GROUND and you will find out where all the barmpots hang out on Wednesdays.
Wide view -you can see a couple of cards I'm sorting for my friend who will take them back to South West Ireland. She is so good for my ego as she thinks my stuff is amazing. Fancy coming all the way from County Cork to buy cards. I tell a lie-she visits her DD and family in Todmorden.
Close in -I decided last night about 10pm that card candy would make great buttons-not on my cardi silly people-but needed little holes. Tried a punch but a screw punch was better. This needed perfecting but had to leave as a shilling in the energy meter was required.
One drawer full of children's stamps for nosey people.
and a drawer full of big stamps and sets as a bonus. Off to get my porridge now-or muesli or baked beans on toast or---------- but I'll be back to visit YOU :)

  8. I have a screw punch too - as recommended by Julie Hickey, so I'm guessing maybe yours was too - I think they're fab. Love the flower on the card in your previous post!

  11. Wow, love that Japanese screw punch. I've heard they will cut through anything. I would have tried a crop-a-dile, but don't know anything about that candy, since I've never seen it. Thanks for sharing your stamps, too. Happy WOYWW.

  16. Loving your crafty desk there's so much going on:) Enjoy your friends amazement, she's right:)
    Great card resting there and lots of lovely stamps, I could play for quite a while in this space:)
    Thanks for dropping by my blog, the girl's helmet was easy to cut out but putting the holographic sequins on it was a real challenge and you can't even see them in the photos, LOL
    But what are you talking about? you've been punching buttonholes in your card candy!!! !!!!!!!!That's a great idea by the way:)

  19. Sorry my spelling is terrible!! I have got one, but...it was sold to be as a separate thingy with out the bits you screw together, if you get what I mean! so I will go and say, look i think there's something missing, and maybe they''ll give it to me!

    (right hook probably!)

  20. Thanks for sharing your crafting haven with us today Betty. Now would I be right in thinking I spotted Carte D'or ice cream tubs on the shelf. I have a few (well quite a few) not because I love icecream I just need the storage!
    Great idea for the card candy but don't think I would have the patience.
    Mind your fingers,
    Pat xx
