Well I know there is no free P&P for the Channel Islands and I generally hate the service of IW etc.. but yes I have bought.
I bought all the Bear-i-ations Christmas stamps to go with my original sets, also some archival ink pads and erm some other bits...
Erm, exactly what other bits!!!!
I've bought zilch, I have wanted to have a little treat, but I won't pay inflated prices and I haven't seen anything I want. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Nancy tonight!

I used the dips ready reckoner and these allowed me to buy the stamps etc, but actually they worked out a good price. I just got some border peel offs and the Xmas Dufex special kits as well...:rolleyes:

Not bought anything, been working so not seen most of the craftathon, and otherwise all the shows I seem to have caught have been mainly CD's. Was tempted by some of the bargains that were on the other thread, but alas was too slow and they were sold out.

Snap, that's all I've brought.
Although saying that, I'm going to have a look what Nancy is selling tonight. Think it's called the 3D Foiled Floral Kit !!!

I also bought the Safuri die cut decoupage - I have some non-die cut sheets already, but it's been a bugger to cut out!

No - not that I haven't wanted to. Still smarting about the poinsettia stamp I missed out on this morning. That will teach me for thinking about it!

I had no intention of buying anything this time round but saw the condolence decoupage card kit and really liked the designs. I have been asked for condolence cards twice recently and its something I haven't made so thought these would be ideal.
I probably wouldn't have gone for them if there had been postage on top but £14.99 in total seemed ok. Now that I've bought one thing I will need to make sure its not the start of a slippery slope!.

I've just seen the condolence decoupage & have tried to buy it via the C&C site, but it's not listed on there - either in the product listings or by using the item number. It's showing on the IW site :mad: I may just email the studio.
Other than that I've bought the 100 mixed size pack of white cards - didn't manage to catch any on screen showings of it, & the sizes are not listed on the website, but they looked decent enough.

I have made two condolence cards recently using my bookatrix board:)
One had decoupage white lillies from one of the cupcake cds I have and the other a handtied posy of forget-me-nots from another cupcake cd.
Both turned out really well and I made boxes which finished them off nicely:)

I bought that box of organza ribbon after much deliberation as I have some of the colours.
Some stuff I ordered the last craft day hasn't arrived yet.
A pack of mirror board will be going back as nearly all the gold sheets are scratched. All in the same places too so must have been damaged dueing production. All the silver sheets have a small blob fault in the same plac eso again a fault in production.

Grrr - what a shame Lilac Froggy. I got the Gold/Silver mirriboard pack a couple of craft days back & as I mostly use it for matting & layering I was quite happy with the quality (admittedly it wasn't marked though). It's not highly reflective, but it's perfectly fine for what I want to do with it & it's such a big pack that I don't have to scrimp with it :)

I agree it's good for matting and layering which is what I use it for too wellie.
I phoned them this morning and the be fair the man was very helpful and gave me a freepost address to return it for replacement. I told him I shouldn't have to pay the postage as it was faulty! He didn't hestitate in giving me the address.
I have had a frw packs before and it was all intact apart from the odd sheet ruffled at the edges. I wanted more as I am making up a pack of paper an card for a birthday present for someone.
