Gorjuss set 3

I am home, my business in Glasgow was complete and as today was a bit manic with children's activities and DH sounded stressed on the phone, so I just came home very late last night.

Today I received in my mail box, Gorjuss set 3, big thanks to Grant and Suzanne for ready to load images, very much appreciated ;) BUT I ain't showing you! Peeks will have to wait until the nearer the end of the month.
I believe I have a visitor coming to the house of sugar soon, all the way from the far east but with an Aberdeen accent, stampers over there are liking Gorjuss girls and she wants to see for herself where they come from while she was in the area. It will be fantastic to hear how stampers so far away use their Sugar Nellie stamps. I am looking forward to her visit.

Top tip for beginners today..........
Sugar Nellie stamps are thick naked rubber, untrimmed ready for you to trim with scissors, you can choose to add to kling on/foam mount if you wish.
I leave mine naked and trim then attached to an acrylic block with a glues stick, easy and quick to clean up after with a baby wipes.

Flower Soft & Sweet Art Ebony

Hello from Glasgow city centre, just a few days away from home to collect Miss Sugar Nellie and take her back to the farm for the summer, back to the House of Sugar to shuffle paperwork and get the books in some sort of order, thee biggest nightmare when running a business!
Stopped in by Millers and found some flower soft, one of our store customers (Rene) recommended we play with it and as I have always thought that some of the Elisabeth Bell Sweet Art Ebony range would suit Flower Soft, I picked up a few tubs for Kate to play with.

Good to hear that some of the lucky blog hoppers have received their new top secret stamps and even had time to play. No hurry girls we have until the 19th as many went to international sugar addicts which takes a little more time for Mr Post Man to deliver. Did I say that there would be prizes given out to those who follow the blog hop?

Tiets received her gift from the House of Sugar, we really do appreciate our DT and as she is not coming to CHA I decided that I should sent her something to make up for not getting on the trip. Enjoy playing Tiets :) Now I just have one more gift to finish, this one is going USA ;)

Enjoy the weekend

Playgound games

Continuing from yesterdays Hop Skip & Jump.................WOW there were a lot of hands up for that blog hopping challenge :) Thank you girls , I am always blown away by how many of you love and support our little Scottish Stamp company.

I think 80 would be an exhausting blog hop so I will up the numbers but I am so sorry not to be able to have you all in our little game. If its a success we will do it again and maybe it will be your turn next time.

But for the Duda Daze release the following will receive one stamp from the new set to play with as they wish, email me asap( by wed at the latest ) so that we can get the stamps in the post info@sugarnellie.com with your home and blog address.

In the interest of fairness, I did not cherry pick, I want to give everyone a chance to shine, first to put their hands up were.....

Hop Skip & Jump

While venturing around blog land and reading things on SCS, we are going to give the American tradition of a blog hop a try out for the first release if the new stamps by Diane Duda this month.

So who wants to join in a little fun?

I will send to 16 comment on this post a new stamp to play with. On a pre arranged date we will all post a thread on our blog with the card we have made, a little instructions and a link to the next blog on the list. The ideas is for sugar addict to hop from blog to blog looking at the new cards made with these whimsical and fun new stamps from Diane.

More details on SCS Sugar Nellie forum.

Today's top tip for beginners: double sided tape does not give you a second chance, once its down its stuck, but if you put glue stick over the tape before placing down, you get a little time to move it about if you were not 100% on target.

We were able to deliver lots of sugar to Funkykits this afternoon, so if you have been waiting for something that was out of stock, have a quick look today as stock levels are very good at the moment.
Enjoy the sunshine.
