It is with astonishment that we watch this auction site, mostly to stop infringement of our Angle Policy by notifying sellers that it is not OK to sell stamped images, most sellers comply, after all ebay take copyright matters very seriously and no good seller wants to be reported now do they?
But this week we watch with wonder at the people who have been buying up multiple amount of one of our Gorjuss stamps(maybe this is why it's always sold out) and are auctioning them off. How much do you think people will pay for something that, with a little patience, they can buy at a realistic price?
Patience, that's a hard one for most folks, its hard I know to have to wait for something that you really want, but I would never think about emailing Stephanie Meyers to ask her when her next book will be finished, where can I buy it, how much will it sells for in £'s, how long will it take to arrive by post............. all good things come to those who wait. {I am still loving her books second time around by the way}
My younger kids ordered games off the Internet yesterday and they both ran home from school to ask if they were here yet, patience, the order was only placed yesterday, but at 6 and 10 they just cant wait until tomorrow or the next day.
But I was please to know that it only took 5 days for a Funkykits order to arrive in Canada, that's great news,
but unusual. Netherlands has the worst track record for longest delivery times in Europe but they do eventually turn up.
I have a lot of new sneaky peeks to show you once I can protect the image with our logo, sad I know but it's better to protect now rather than have a repeat of the episode of a forum sharing our images for you to print as you like, not good.
Country Cousins will be online tomorrow, later on in the day, I know that there has not been a newsletter for a long time, but being short staffed we have to prioritise our work load for now.
Enjoy the rest of your evening, I have a function to attend, do you think I can take my book with me?
Country Cousins
Remember those adorable girls I teased you with some time back?
Well the good news is there are due to arrive this week and should be over to Funkits by next weekend.
There are also shouting for more stock of a few favourite stamps that you just cant get enough of! We will try our best to keep on top of it all so that what ever you are wishing for is there.
New art work from Leanne and Diane will also head to the factory this week and I know you are going to go crazy for these, I have to admit that the stamps designs just keep getting better and better, I am lovin' them all. I am so glad I don't have to choose which one's to have :)
As we try to arrange some changes to our set up in the HOUSE OF SUGAR, there will also be a chance for you to join our DT, we will spell out all the details soon, please do not contact us just yet, all will be revealed in the next few week. But with so many fantastic new stamps its is only fare to take the pressure off our two brilliant girls, Tiets and Marlene, and spread the sugar about a bit more. All good things with come to those who wait.
There should be a lot of inky fingers this weekend with gorjuss girls landing on door mats all over the world, I will be spending some time surfing blog land looking out for your sweet creations.
Hope your weekend was fun and that the week ahead holds some good things.

Best fishes
Marlene has been busy following the new challenge on the Sugar Bowl Blog, men & boys.Here she has stamped "Best Fishes" by Mary Hall, super card as always Marlene.
Jump over and see what's going on and join in the challenge and have a chance at a great prize. Gayle and the sweeties have been working hard and enjoying the challenge :)
ALL pre orders for Gorjuss girls set 2 have left the House of Sugar. There are a few "sticky" orders stuck in Processing as usual and I hope to attend to those tomorrow. Singles from set 2 will be available in about 4 weeks and more stock of set 1 are due to be delivered to Funkykits tomorrow. You can always check your order by logging into your account rather than emailing FK.
I have finished "breaking dawn" and now I am lost, I want more, how long do I have to wait for more, I cant wait, I miss them already and I only finished the book last night. I might have to go back to the start and read them all again, its a long long time since a book controlled me as much as these did. I need Edward and Bella like a vampire needs blood!
I have a few loose ends to tie up tomorrow and hope to at least see my desk by the end of Friday. I hope you have something good planned for the end of the week, some of you may have your Gorjuss stamps by now if the postal system has been kind to you, unfortunatly some countries take a lot longer to get to than others.
AWOL
Sorry girls I have been AWOL, and I have emerged from the "twilight zone" long enough to catch up with emails and other important puter suff. But I will escape again very soon, as soon as I can find "Breaking Dawn", I will be lost in the pages of an old fashioned love story again.
Pre orders are flying out the door at Funkykits and they are on track to have everything shipped by Friday, thanks goes to my helpers Kate and Zofie, thanks girls :) To the girls at our small local post office who smile when I drop off our post bag and never complain about processing it themselves and save me hours standing weighing post.
A huge thank you also goes to our customers who have experienced a few problems in the last couple of month since Tracy's accident, we have managed to keep Funkykits open but have had a few problems along the way, small things but still mistakes, to all the stampers who understand our growing pains, a big thank you for you patience.

More more and a little more
Art work that is, there are more stunning Sugar Nellie stamps on their way.
We are delighted to have Linda's much loved characters Maggie and Hamish back, its been such a long time I am sure they will be new to a lot of our customers.
Leanne Ellis arty range, something a little different and appealing to many.
Diane Duda has her first range of stamps to be launched in a few more weeks.
Country Cousins, a total of 5 girls coming to you this month, many phone calls and emails about when these will be available, soon very soon.
Eva has drawn some cutie animals, simple but whimsical.
She has also been working on teenagers, something you all asked for and again we listened.
That's almost something from all our artists, the new Mary Hall and Suzanne Woolcott are both going well and I am sure there are many of you waiting for a sugar fix to drop in your letter box soon.
I will be back later with a few peeks and a chance to win some yummy candy.

Questions & Answers
Just a few Questions & Answers from over at FUNKYKITS
Can I order gorjuss set 2?
Sorry pre orders are closed, they will be available late May as single stamps. ALL pre orders will be dispatched over the next week with international orders going first in the hope that you all get them about the same time. If there was anything else in you basket it will all be sent at the same time.
When will the Country Cousins be released?
Sugar Nellie hope to have these with us for the end of April, but Hedgehog girl is being kept for the Autumn kit to be released late summer.
The stamp I want has disappeared, will it be back?
Yes, our web site hides things that sell out and we have to activate it ourselves, click on the little envelope next to receive an automated email when it comes into stock again, be quick as sometimes before you get there it may sell out, please do not reply to the automated email.
Why are large international orders cancelled?
The international postage rate of £2.45 covers up to a certain weight and insurance. If you order includes anything more than 10 SUGAR NELLIE stamps, it will be cancelled and refund sent via pay pal. We do not offer tracking numbers.
Can you add or change my order?
No sorry we can't. We can not access your wish list either.
I sent and email but have not had an answer?
We are very short staffed and answering emails comes after packing orders, its difficult to keep up but we are trying, but our priority is to send your stamps to you as quickly as we can.
**********************************************************************************
On a brighter note I have been sending out all the candy from here, the challenge blog and SCS prizes. If you have not sent in your name and addy don't forget info@sugarnellie.com, only those who have won need send in their details.
I believe there is another show in England at Ally Pally this weekend, Imagination will have Sugar Nellies with them, stop by and say hello and admire the gorjuss girls along with some of our best selling lines. Here is the link to their new blog

Time flies
Time flies like a bird, before you know it, it's gone.
As we reach the middle of another month and as fast as I try I cant keep up.
We received a beautiful box of creations from Lilian this week, absolutely stunning, very generous.
A visit from a sweetie yesterday, it was nice to meet Judy in real life, and all her boys, four of them, all very good looking ;)
Some new artwork to bring a smile to your face some time soon.
I have been thinking about other things, the fundraiser, expanding out DT, winter themes for stamps, magazine features and sometimes I get to think about what I might have had for lunch if I had time and there was a choice:P
Miss Sugar Babe returns to Glasgow today, Miss Funkykits sits part of her driving test , I am grateful that our schools have gone back and that the other two are save and occupied all day.
So nothing too exciting in the HOUSE OF SUGAR planned for today. Final number for pre orders have gone to the factory and I hope to start sending out the international ones this weekend once we have everything else dispatched.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, remember that if you are an international customer at Funkykits that large orders will be cancelled and if your stamps are out of stock by the time you go back to shop again, there is nothing we can do, just remember to check out when you have 10 Sugar Nellie stamps and start again if you need a big sugar fix, two orders are better than one big cancelled one.
It is not that we don't want to send you loads of sugar its because of weight and insurance.
