Costco does it again !!

[WeWhizzzYouAMerryXmas]

I have just bought 360 sheets (12 x 12") of scrapbook paper (4 sheets of each of 90 designs) - patterns & colours with co ordinating solid colours for just over £9. There is alsorts, ginghams, stripes, stars, flowers ... everything !! Nice quality too !
3p a sheet

Happy to split / swap / sell with others as there is no way I can use it all.

Every one of my cards from now on will have a funky background!

Why on earth should a barrister be eligible??

Some great looking stuff for scrapbooking isn't there!

I have to say I have never met anyone here who has been refused membership of Costco. Any public sector employment is fine, certainly, and my retired parents are members. Maybe it varies by store though, in terms of how strictly the criteria are applied?

I took a friend of mine in one day and told them she was trustworthy and they gave her membership - but she was refused when she had tried on her own!

I've never seen Sizzix stuff in the UK Costco.

Champs email me with what you have to swap. I don't have much in the way of fibres or brads (not tried eyelets yet!). I'm not too bad now for card. I could use any muberry paper (the thin stuff, not the thicker paper, which I have quite a bit of). My mind has gone blank - done too much craft stuff today after doing none for ages!

soapbox - yep nice stuff. i want to go to US next year for a stash shoppin holiday... i have to go to miceals, oh and walmart!!
hmmm may see if i have a friend who can vouch.

thanks tamum, i'll have a try.

whizzz -- will get your alphas done first or i'll get myself behind and be a rubbish swappa!! will have a look at what i've got.

here's the stuff found a pic on line of the paper

DH says the company he works for is means he is eligible for membership-he is a baker BTW,

I need to stop coming on here im spending too much money

Whizz have you weighed it yet????
I have a £20 budget to get scrapping paper for J's class CJ's...the postage wouldnt be more than a tenner would it???

Sorry JM - went right out of my head.

On our (prob not very accurate) bathroom scales - we get around 4kg. That would be £7.20 std parcel rate. If its over 4kg but less than 6kg, it is £8.17 according to Royal Mail website.

Right - getting scientific here - took out 36 sheets & weighed on kitchen scales = 389g & times by 100 ! ie 3.89kg !! so should be £7.20

Just having a proper look at the sheets I've taken out - pink & blue 'Baby' sheets as well as patterns.

MY kitchen scales which are quite accurate shows just under 4kg. So Whizz's price would be right.

Just opened them and had a look - they are really beautiful - some really lovely design's. Some good 'male' designs too!

Some that will also be very nice for card making!

Maybe I'll have to buy some of my own now

And to think this all started with teh them v us card challenge[grrrr]

Whizz if its not too much trouble for you....would you be able get me a pack???
I can paypal you the money or pop a cheque in the post tomorrow.
If I sent £20 that should cover it shouldnt it???

Im starting work at J's school in the arts and crafts dept next week {{{{eekkkk....not worked properly for years!!!}}}Im making a CJ with all the kids as our first topic "all about me"...the sheets would be really useful for covering the CJ's and making the pages.

Let me know if you could do this for me.

Thanks
JM

ooo whizzz! why did i folow the link??? i want it now... whiney voice ala ds2

Jayzmummy - if whizz cant I live near a costco and will fit in a trip next week for you if you like.

Let me know

No probs JM - will pay another visit - prob will send DH on Wednesday (he works not too far away from the store) - I'm back at work on Tues Boooo.

Anyone else want one - £9 + £7.20 P&P ??

JM - £17 should cover it unless the PO weigh it differently - if its anymore I'll let you know.

Whizz id love one if you can get one for me, i can paypal you or send you a cheque.

Cheers Whizz...you are a star.
Will post chq today

Very tempted by this, so yes if you can get me one, can do paypal or cheque, whichever you prefer (if paypal will also cover fees).

My mum just phoned asking if I wanted anything from Costco as she is going over this afternoon! EEEEEEEERrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr YES YES get me some of this lovely paper!!

If you can email me your addys

whizzz_123 at yahoo dot co dot uk

I will email you back with my address - for a cheque (or disguised cash if you prefer)

I will send DH with a trailer on Wednesday

So far - one for JM, Jenk1 & Pootlepod

Have emailed you whizzz.

DH got 3 lots of paper today (£9.38 each) - will try & post out before the weekend.

Please hang on before sending cheques until I confirm P&P

Yorkie - I thought anyone could get a card - but apparantly not - it depends on where you work / what you do. Their website is not very helpful - suggest you ring up your local store & ask before you go down.
