Buying and selling crafty stash!!!


Hiya Everyone,

On a sad note my MS doily lace punch just broke so I'm a bit gutted. Haven't had it that long either so I'll need to try get a replacement sorted. On a more positive note I just wanted to share with you the crafty stuff I have bought via facebook. There are loads of people selling their unwanted crafty stuff so I managed to get a few bargains. You can tell there's a recession on Lol as most people would normally keep everything "just in case" but now if they haven't used it in a while it's gone! I too have been selling some unwanted crafty stuff and with the proceeds I have been buying other crafty stuff I do want. I have tried to be good and only buy something that I really want or have wanted for a while.

This is what I have received in the last 2 days.

A chocolate monster stamp - So cute I just couldn't resist...can't wait to ink up that baby £2!!!
Dandelion rabbit stamp - Again, sooo sweet £2.50
Sentiment stamp - A garden without flowers is like a face without a smile £2
MS heart border punch - Been after this one for a while £9
Dienamics notebook top die - £5.50
Marianne icicles die - £4.25

I've bought so much stuff I can't remember what's still to come. Lol

I can't wait to see what the postie brings me today!!!

Thanks for looking!!!

  3. Wow Great Bargains!! I didn't realize people sell things on Facebook. I'd also like to know where on there you find those things. I just got on FB and still don't really know how it works. Enjoy your goodies!

  4. Hi Paula, if you contact Martha Stewart about your broken punch I think you will find that they will replace. You have to send a picture of the broken one. I know of a few people this has happened to and MS have replaced it.

  9. I had the same punch break on me - and I hardly used it - and didn't exactly exert any weight on it either. I had my friend swap it through her craft shop for me so I have a brand new one... I think that MS punches are really prone to this, so I've started collecting EK Success punches instead which are much more robust.

    I also have that Dandelion stamp - I bought it off QVC, I also have that MS punch but hardly use that either. Its a good idea to trade in some of your unused stuff for stuff you want - makes sense during these hard times!

  10. if you weren't 'abusing' your MS punch (ie using as directed) then i'd contact MS directly and let them know. quite a few people have had their break and MS have replaced them!!
