Manga Cards

Tiets has been busy with the new Christmas Manga stamps, we hope to get more stock over to Funkykits at the start of the week along with new Mary Hall designs. I know some of these sell out faster than others but I am sure that there will be enough to go around :)

I can not believe that September is almost over and we have at least 10 new stamps to release before the end of the month. Octobers new artwork is heading for the factory and we will launch those asap, I know you have all started you Christmas cards and with a lovely feature by Marlene due out in the craft mags soon, there is sure to be a run of Christmas stamps old and new.

There are some yummy Christmas paper out this year , I myself have not been able to resisted the MME pads...............delishhhh.

NEWS, Manga Christmas stamps have landed at the House of Sugar and will be over on Funkykits Tue/Wed. The charity stamps are selling well and when they are gone that is it, no more, these were made in limited number as no more will be produced.

Enjoy your day and hope the sun is shining in your neck of the woods. Its a Twilight DVD night with girlfriends tonight and a rare night out of me, hope you have something fun planned for this weekend too. Take care.

Sorry..........

Your support is very much appreciated as we launch our first limited edition range of stamps. with 100% of money going to the cause. With grateful thanks to the artist who donated work and to Richfords for donating the rubber.

Book Club

These are too cute, reading is good for you and these super cute stamps are sure to be a hit. These are the final 2 from the September release from Mary Hall.

Our local crafty book club have been reading Twilight and the DVD night is planned for Friday. The next book on our hit list is The Time Travelers Wife, but we get a night out at the pictures for that one :)
My youngest is still getting Biff and Chip books as reading homework and after reading these for the last 14 years with all four of my children I think I know those off by heart too.

The next peeks will be of the new Country Cousins Christmas stamps........teasing you :)

Rainy days

Yes its still very wet in this corner of the world. Good weather for the ducks!

With SIX new stamps from Mary Hall coming out in the next few weeks here are another two peeks.

Also in September comes Christmas stamps from our Manga range and from our Country Cousins too. Diane's release will be towards the end of the month with Suzanne's gorjuss girls at the start of October. So much rubber, not enough ink!

Enjoy your weekends and I hope you have a good pair of wellies .

Making headlines

The House of Sugar is based in ELGIN, which today is making headline news, for the same reason it is always on the news, Elgin is flooded, roads and rail links are closed, schools shut down, business are knee deep in water and nothing is operating as it should.

We are not directly effected but things like the post office etc are. Funkykits already have a backlog of order to dispatch and this will only add to the delivery time for any orders. They will also have to delay the release of the charity stamps until they are all up todate, yes they are here but will be released next week sometime.
Christmas Manga are also due soon and as soon as new rubber arrives the DT packages will be sent out. Nothing much happened in August but Sept and Oct will make up for it.
I have loads of new artwork to show you but will take a minuet to catch up with my work load before showing you sweet stamps from
Diane's new range, Country Cousins Christmas and the rest of Mary Halls designs.
Many of these are already at the rubber factory and will be available in the next two weeks, hopefully the DT will get theirs first and show you some wonder full card and craft ideas.

A quick get well message to Gayle who runs the Sugar Bowl Challenge blog, take care babe, put your feet up and get better soon.

Manga Six

So I can't count! There are SIX Christmas Manga stamps not eight! Duh, well its good to know that someone is keeping me right as I see artwork in my sleep at the moment :)

These are all at the factory and will hopefully be available at www.funkykits.co.uk next week.
We have been busy in the House of Sugar restocking some sell outs at Funkykits, including Autumn kit, Manga, Christmas Snowmen and Santa's............loads of rubber.

Still waiting for the charity stamps..........soon very soon.
