Over on the Sugar Nellie group on Facebook this week was a long thread all about Pippi Longsocks.
I absolutely adore this little lady, she is totally beautiful with a bit of mischievousness thrown in and I luvs her so much.
Imagine my shock and horror when one lady said that she wasn't too keen on Pippi! I mean, who wouldn't love that adorable sweet face?
Of course I understand that we all have different tastes, the world would be so boring if we all liked the same things but "not keen on Pippi"? She must be mad!
Another lady said she was seeing Pippi's in her sleep...Is that a bad thing? No, that would be a sweet dream in my opinion. So what am I to do when faced with such shocking news?
Oh yes...I am a woman, so I will get my sweet revenge :)
I had a nosey around Facebook and just look at what I found....
This beauty was made by our lovely DT lady Astrid.
I love the sepia tones on this fab card from Cass.
Cathy is one of our Sugar Bowl sweeties and this is the first time she's inked up Pippi...only because I told her it was a crime to own this stamp and never have used it (I threatened to report her to the Secret Sugar Police!)
This pretty and pink card was made by one of my lovely Harrogate friends Christine.
Another card from a Sweetie, this one is made by Fiona..I always love Fi's cards.
This striking card is an entry into the Sugar Bowl by Lis..and it was seeing this card that got me on the subject of Pippi.
A gorgeous card from the lovely Pops.
A beautiful Christmas card from Shazza (who loves Pippi almost as much as I do, judging by all the fab cards she's made with this stamp!)
And finally, just to prove that I really do luvs her is a card from me that I made for the Sugar Bowl - sketch No 71. I have made another card with her today using the same colour combo too :)
Ahhhhh...I feel so much better after seeing all this glorious Pippiness!
She really is my mostest favouritest stamp ever, but she does share the top spot with a certain Sassy stamp. I wonder if anyone knows who that might be?
Thanks for looking.
Love Elaine xx

I am with you! I grew up with Pippi's stories as a child and I loved them, now with this image and all the others, I am in love with her all over again! Reign on Pippi, and girls you do beautiful work and put Pippi in all of her glory :) I too wanted Pippi for Christmas but she must have lost her way, so I will send directions soon so she can find my house and get inky with me real soon!
