Bargain alert ...

Just the other week I used some really fab puffy glittery stickers on some holiday pages here.  I bought them at one of the pound shops, but I know a few people went in to get some and they just weren't available.  Anyway today I popped in to 'The Works' and found they were selling the same stickers even cheaper - yeah - so I went a little mad and bought a couple of alphabet sets, a zoo set and a funky flower set.  The sea creatures was on sale too, but naturally I already have them.
Happy bargain hunting.

Pound Shop bargain alert...

Having a really busy week this week so haven't got that much time for crafting, but just look what I picked up at Pound World on the way to work yesterday.  A card board weather resistant bird house!  How cute would this be with added digi characters and flowers maybe? 

It's on my list of things to do, but I wanted to put a post on here just in case anyone wanted to buy one themselves.  By the time I finish mine (if I ever do) they may not still be on sale. 

This is the bag they are sold in and they are really easy (speaking as someone who didn't get round to reading the instructions) to put together.  There were two versions in the shop I went to.  One was a tudor house (as in the photo) and I can't remember the name of the other, but it's kinda barn looking.  I must admit I was disappointed because neither are the lovely bright colours of the example on the packet and I'm not sure whether painting them would work or not.  Will have a think about that.

At Poundland I found a gorgeous card of ribbons just right for all the Spring theme challenges in blog land at the moment.  Well at least they would be if I had time to play.

As both Pound Shops are very near to where I wait for the bus to work I seem to pop in them more and more just lately so maybe there will be regular updates on things to watch out for.  Just waiting for a bus seems to be costing me a fortune!  I might as well tempt everyone else to spend too.
