I went into the works today(didn't ave em) and the sales assistant (age 10) didn't know when they were coming in.

So calling all crafters. If you are near the works please please get MrsF some box chain in silver/gold.

Regards


UCM

oooooh!

It's hard to describe.... was given some to add to a card i was making.
It's gold/silver...looks very much like a chain you'd wear round your neck....seems to be made odf the metalic foil that some xmas decorations are made of....and it stretches...so when on the card it looks like a tiny 'box' chain...but can be stretched miles!
I spose the easiest description is that it is almost like a 'square spring'....

will have a look for it and let you know if I managed it. Is it one pack you are after or more?

i'd love a couple of packs...gold and silver...but if only 1 colour...i'd be just as happy with 2 packs of that colour!!!

Do you use paypal...i could payyou straight away via that...or send you a cheque.....or make you some cards...to repay you for this kindness!

Hi Mrs F, bad news I'm afraid. They didn't have any in the shop, and, because of the nature of the shop (publishers outlet), they have no idea if they will have any more in sorry.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for them in the next few weeks and let yuou know if I can get some.

Sorry I have been away for weekend. Yes I got your stuff. Will do something with it on Thursday. I will send you some of my 'square box' as I don't think I will use all of it. Also will surprise you nicely I hope.

Well Mrs F. I truly believe I have done you proud. I bought stuff that I have not even bought before and some for myself of course. I went for stuff that was good value and if I say so myself, you will cream your pants girl. Sorry to be coarse in late afternoon, but you will be happy
