A little peek at the new Christmas range from Sugar Nellie, we have more snowmen than Santa's and a reindeer or two, not forgetting some elegant Mary & Joseph with baby Jesus.
Sweet Swedish Sunday
I hope that you have a little time today to sit and be creative in your own little space where ever it may be in the world. I am amazed at the visitors who call in to read these few words. Thank you Sugar Babes, your support is very much appreciated.
I have had a few minuets to play with the hAnglars that Marie gifted to us when I went to H&S HQ back in June. I love these little darlings, I am sure you will too.
We ( SN & FK) are looking at the which UK mags will cover the new release of this range. We are still to make up our minds and the samples for the feature, but as you know, this is HUGE news in the stamping world. Never have stampers gone to so much trouble to get there inky hands on these stamps. Has it been the fact that they are not available that made them wanted so much ?
or is it that they are so well illustrated?
what have you done to to get your hands on hAnglars?
Now that computers are back working in the office, we will get all outstanding candy posted this week to those who have been luck to be having a little sweetness posted your way.

The future..........
A big congratulations to Tiets, crafting at the castle was a great success, well done to all the girls involved and I look forward to seeing what all was made at this great event.
A box of beautiful cards arrived from Tiets today, thank you Sugar babe, they are wonderful :)
The future...........what does it hold?
Which direction will we take as we approach our first birthday at Sugar Nellie?
So many choices, so many ways to go..............................time will tell :)
and a good saying here in Scotland is
"what for you will not go by you"
in other words if it's meant to be it will.
Anyone want a little bit of candy to make the weekend sweeter?
Tell me what you think the next hot trend will be in stamping, we have seen robot and birds, whats next? What would you like to see?
Warm and fuzzy
Warm and fuzzy is a good way to express how I feel when one lovely lady refers to me as "dear", I often come across comments from her all over the blog world, she takes the time to say nice things to people all the time.
She calls everyone dear ,and it makes me feel very young, she is a mother and a grandmother and such a lovely lady.
Donalda, I grant you three wishes :) .............. that makes me feel like a fairy godmother!
When I suggested the wish list I did not mean only Sugar Nellie stamps, anything and everything crafty should be on your wish list, you have no idea who is looking.
And especially our creative designers, you both need that wish list as you have so many things we don't know what you would like as a surprise. ;)
shaking the sugar about
I would like to send some candy to Deb, who's blog I can across on my travels this week. I love all the cards and the way she puts her cards together, fantastic.
{It was also pointed out to me this week that our candy has no "additives", there are no conditions to receiving Sugar Nellie candy, we don't ask you to have a link banner on your blog, we don't ask you to bring traffic to our blog, we don't ask that you pimp us at every turn.
No No No. We do not use you as a marketing tool. We simple give out the candy to anyone who cares to visit and leave a comment when there is a draw or if we find you on our travels in blog land and like what we see.}
So tell Deb that she was spotted and her work admired so much that there is candy waiting for her at the sugar warehouse, just email info@sugarnellie.com with your addy Deb so that something sweet comes your way. Congratulations you are a great cardmaker and inspiration to others.
And this is what brought me to your blog
We have had so much rain here in Scotland that my feet are now webbed, and together with the idea of saving a few coins for those little Swedish beauties , made me think "what a lovely idea", nothing to do with the theme for one of the H & S stamps ;)
Maggie is one of our favourite characters and yours, blue and green, fantastic colour combo.
I LOVE IT. Thank you Deb.
Wish lists, I wish you all had one on your blog, that way friends and visitors could see what it is that you would like next on your craft shopping list, with so many of us watching what we spend, it would be far easier for our friends see what we would like as a gift if we had a Wish List.
I for one like to give random gift no matter what size when not expected, it's far more of a surprise and can come totally out of the blue and is so much more appreciated. I cant tell you how good it makes me feel to receive a hand made Sugar Nellie creation in the post amongst all the boring stuff that the post man brings, I would like you to get that "feel good" buzz.
So go take a minuet to add a WISH LIST to your side bar of your blog and maybe, just maybe you might get a surprise :)
OMG............
...............the contractions have started!
(for those of you who think I am mad, I AM!)
For those of you who have not been reading this blog........................I have a little bit of news :)
The new hAnglar & stAnglar children are absolutely gorgeous as always, Marie is a perfectionist and has done fantastic work on the new stamps. We love then Marie.
The girls at funkykits are jumping up and down with excitement, they cant wait to bring you these gorgeous Swedish children, we cant wait to make these for them. And the best news is we get to play with them too, as do our creative design team.
Marlene and Tiets do a fantastic job turning our little bits of rubber into beautiful cards, we received some samples from Marlene this week too. I love them more in real life.
To both our creative designers a big thank you and I bet you cant wait for H & S either? :)

Tiets has been busy, some delightful creations on her blog, nip over for a look at the inside of
"friends" for a lovely poem too.http://simplyscrapcards.blogspot.com/
Its very wet here in Scotland, in fact there is a risk of flooding in town, and the country side is seeing the end of a good harvest. So if you are sitting somewhere warm and dry with the sun beating down on you from a clear blue sky.................enjoy it you are lucky.
Now I went looking for a card with Maggie in the rain, I am sure I had one but it is the most appropriate stamps for today's weather.
