Blog Queen & Candy

**** 12 days of Christmas candy starts tomorrow****


As the children get ready to open their advent calenders tomorrow, I thought I would let your know about our 12 days of Christmas give away. Starting on the first, tomorrow, we will be giving away a different prize each day for 12 days.



Now as much as I can't sing ( cant carry a tune in a bucket according to Gayle over on the challenge blog, cheers babe I love you too!) and it's not that we can match the song to our stamps, only the first one makes any sense, but a nice little gift from Sugar Nellie under your tree is better than hearing me sing right?

Pop back tomorrow as hopefully by then I will have worked out how to use Mr Linky, but don't put any bets on it just yet!



Tomorrow also sees Zoe join the House of Sugar as our new Blog Queen. Get ready to join Zoe in the New Year when she takes over the blog and it gets a make over at the same time! I cant wait to see what she does with the help of our brilliant DT,
there are lots of inspiration and ideas in the planning.

Greetings to you both

Tiets and Marlene have been busy with the new stamps designed by Diane Duda. I am loving the soft muted colours of these, Marlene has created a very distressed vintage effect and Tiets has used the popular powder blue as a winter colour theme. Lovely cards girls.

The DT stamp packs were sent out yesterday, so look out around the blogs for some new cards with the last of our 2009 stamps, these are for sale over at Funkykits, Mark has has had the first part of their order and will be topped up hopefully again next weekend. Sugar and Spice along with 4 new baby stamps are currently being wrapped up ready for sale but some are being put aside for a promotion in Craft Stamper magazine in the New Year, watch out for them.

Bubbles

Here she is, BUBBLES, a cutie pie for all those little girl/baby cards you need to make. Great to use glaze on those bubbles don't you think?

Working today Mark at Funkykits to bring you a great offer in the New Year, I am sure they will be sending out a news letter again in the holidays for those of you who like to do a little Internet shopping now and then.

Wednesdays child

Say hello to Elise, she is the last Sugar and Spice girl for now. Tomorrow I will show you the four new baby stamps that will come out at the same time. We do not have many stamps suitable for babies and we are looking to fill the gaps in our range.

Four weeks until Christmas, I guess its time to start the festive shopping and make a few gifts. I hope you are well ahead with yours and your cards are all ready to post .

Keep warm and stay safe.

Tuesday peek

Number six in the Sugar and Spice collection, this will most likely be our last release before the New Year. 2010 feels a long way away but like everything else it will sneak up on us all. This pretty maid is called ISLA, ain't she cute?

It's real cold here in Scotland and we are almost Twilighted out, having watched it twice in 24 hrs and still at least once more this week with the girls, I think that I have had my New Moon fix :)
Loved the special effects but poor Edward was tortured to the point on combustion over a simple kiss! Loved the wolfs ;)

A little blue

Donalda has been busy with the new releases from October, I particularly like the colour combos used on these two cards, blue with green and then with red. Beautiful cards as always, thank you Donalda.

Its coming around to last posting days for international mail, if you need a sugar fix this side of Christmas, don't put it off, official last posting day is at the start of December but we all know that its a hit or a miss with international and sometimes UK post delivery times.

There will be no more Christmas stamps released this year.

We hope that when Suzanne is feeling better she will try to catch up with the Gorjuss stamps but there will be nothing new in the near future.

the name game

We are getting ready for the delivery of these new stamps and today decided to name the Sugar and Spice collection, this one is Martha.
Remember that all seven stamps in this collection is up for grabs over on the challenge blog, y9u have to be in it to win it.

For all the Twi hards who are off out tonight at midnight to see New Moon, enjoy the eye candy and don't drool too much unless you have a bib ;)
