Countdown

Well as may have guessed I’m still having good days and bad with this wreck of a back of mine. Chris has been wonderful, I get a massage each morning with Voltarol which helps immensely.

I seem to be getting lots of pain down the fronts of my legs too like a constant ache, but rubbing seems to help.

Good news is I see my Rheumatologist tomorrow so hopefully I will get a light at the end of a very dark tunnel.

La Pashe has a new release coming which will blow you away, stunning is the word that comes to mind so I’ll get all of the girls to do some sneak peeks real soon.

Totally Stampalicious was started over 3 years ago by two crazy Canadian crafters, Becky and Joycelyn!  They wanted to be able to transform their own sense of humour into stamp sets...all they needed were some hilarious characters to go with it! Enter Jodie Mackrell of Bugaboo Digi Stamps. Her funny, adorable, and sometimes downright sassy images, were just what Totally Stampalicious needed!  A partnership was born, and the rest as they say, is history! They also work with talented artists, Sylvia Zet, Dan Hale and Theo Cobb!

Today, Totally Stampalicious is home to over 85 hilarious and fun stamp sets for your crafting pleasure with many more to come! With the help of a very talented Design Team, Totally Stampalicious has become a successful, thriving and reputable stamp company!  Check them out at Totally Stampalicious.com... and get your giggle on!

Now, lets talk prizes!
