Keepsake boards

[Wellington]

Out of curiosity, has anyone found a cheaper price than $13.99 for Keepsake boards? I've been debating over getting the Celebration board for a little while, & now I'm doing yet another wedding card, with a request for horse shoes, I may just get the bliddy thing. I quite like the Facination shape & the little bits of floral embossing, so I reckon I can get a bit of use out of it.

I was almost going to get it from C&C - with club discount it's about the same as everywhere else while free p&p is on - but I don't particularly want a third glitter ball tool :eek:

Cheapest I've found so far is Sparkly Bits (http://www.sparklybits.com/store/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=643), who I'd never heard of/seen before & am a little reluctant to order from (I don't know why!)

If the site's behaving as it used to, your post count only updates periodically - every 5mins or something

I have been playing on ebay and won an item I did not expect to win on. Its an inkadinkado dragon stamp, so I guess I'd better pay for it. I have also bought a red jade phoenix and dragon pendant from China. Best part of it is Welly, if you are careful Ebay need not cost you the earth, much cheaper than QVC or C&C.

and when your really good you can sell that extra craft stuff your not going to use.

Thing is, are you the sort of craft that hoards everything thinking it will come in useful. I made a concerted effort last year to use up a lot of my supplies and have promptly gone and replaced them with new stuff. Still got a load of stuff that needs either putting up for sale or utilising.

i can not possibly comment lol

I have stopped putting things in my bits box, cos I found I vary rarely went back to it to look for stuff & then forgot what was in it anyway. So I find I now commit the number one crafter's cardinal sin of - throwing bits out :eek:

[Marzipan]

oh i often do that welly i dont see the point of having a bits box i never look in

[lilac froggy Jan]

I seem to be collecting bit boxes LOL:D
But I don't keep every scrap. It just gets ridiculous!
Some things are too nice to use too.
I have never paid the full price for a keepsake board and must all nearly all of them now. I had a gift voucher for one site and got two of the boards so paid nothing at all for them !:)
I got some from Crafter's companion when they had a special offer buy two for £25 and I also had a voucher to use for some of them which made them cheaper still. You collect points the more you buy from there. I was surprised how quickly it mounts up.
I got the oriental board for £9 or £10 the other week from another site in a sale.
I think you just need to look round and you never know what you might find.....yes lots more to tempt you hehe:D

[Marzipan]

wow thats good Lilac Froggy

I ordered it from JS yesterday cos I know her service is impeccable - plus I'm trying to keep down the amount of separate deliveries while hubby's off sick & there were other things I wanted from JS...

I'm failing miserably on the number of deliveries though :( :rolleyes: LOL

Phree says I can't play on Ebay LOL LOL LOL :D ;)

LOLOLOL...... I never said any such thing.... I simply warned you that eBay is a dangerous place to play..... very very dangerous to the health of your plastic as there is so much temptation on there :p In fact it makes our Jeanette's tempting look like the work of an amateur :D

[Marzipan]

dont say that she will be posting Ebay links next Phree!!!
