Emma's Happy Handiworks

Hi there,
well i have no new cards to show you but i am waiting for some new penny black stamps to arrive in the post, and I'm having a craft afternoon with Mum tomorrow, so check back here later!
i have done my first blog hop today!
I stumbled across Waltzing Mouse Stamps. well, first, I keep seeing gorgeous cards with lovely stamps and found out they were PTI (papertrey Ink) so i googled them and to get those stamps in England costs an absolute fortune, and they're not cheap stamps sets to start with! So then I came across someone suggesting to try Waltzing mouse as they're as good and close to PTI stamps. so over I went. OH!! i love her sets sooooo much! I so wish I'd found these before I bought the Penny Black ones on Ebay! I have given myself a tight little budget and If i get new stamps I'll blow it all before the 3rd of the month! hehehe!
So I MUST just be patient and save up!
I did the blog hop to check out her design time and Oh i am so inspired and awed!! such talent! I never even thought of stamping a little canvas bag as Julia has, and also Lynn stamped a candle, using tissue paper..go over and see how she did it! so clever.
The blog hop was to be in with a chance to win a stamp set, but i never win anything, so I'm not putting my hopes up Haha! but just to see all the stamps and cards and get the inspiration and boost to my creative mojo was enough!
In July Waltzing mouse is releasing new sets and i'm excited already! The sets i want to order are Blessed by you and Big Blooms-Chrysanthemums and Roses In Bloom... oh there's so many! I love the sentiments ones too.
Anyway, that's the first thing I got excited about today. Second thing is hubby called up earlier to say he's taking me out to dinner tonight! Yay! he's being doing extra work today with his brother and he's spending it on taking me out to our favourite restaurant Tutti!  Just Love Him, I do!!
Have a Good rest of the Week!
Bye For Now!
