Box of Mitzi glee

Flutterbies!!!!

these are rigid plastic, i think they will make great stencils, maybe even emboss??? as well as being good dangly things.


Fibres!!, love me some fibres, these will be especially good in machined cords.


Another composition book!!! and yes Donna because you begged so sweetly and all puppy dawg like, with your lil paws up on the screen, you can have this one. there are also some plastic sheets which will be perfect for cutting stencils.



these are masks, they are thin foam, which peels off, so you can stick it to a page and then spray over it..cool huh? Tim Holtz aint got nothing on this little lot lol



More stencils...



and masks!!!



and more stencils.....




alphabetical glee!!! with a piece of shiny card behind so you can see it.




more stencils...




I am in stencil heaven, I can't wait to have a messy,painty day.

Mitzi box day 3

First up is a gigantic,mahoosive roll of packing tape, wider than even the biggest ones I have seen over here. perfect for doing packing tape transfers. On top is a roll of cotton surgical tape, I have been wanting some of this for EVER!


next is a composition book, i know Mitzi bought a hundred gazillion of these to give to all her friends lol. I can't wait to start journalling in it.

but look what was hidden in the pages...alphabet stencils lol all sneakily tucked throughout the book!


more stamps, loving these foam stamps so much!


Finally for today some K&Co letters, again with my love of alphas and text these are just perfect!!




Much love Mitzi...



I haven't done my 52 page..well i have but it is shit, so much more shit than last weeks, that i am not posting it. it will be yelled atand thrown in the bin.I might even send it to Amy to throw in her bin.... a new one will be made, today, I think...but it is Lush Friday. so i will be heavily under the influence...

Stuff from the Mitzi box

Todays unwrapping revealed this little lot..

how lush are these pins?


more stamps, omg i love these. I forsee a lot of splodgie painting in my future..



more stamps...



Stencils, oh i adore alphabets, cannot get enough alphabets, EVER!


and just look how much there is, all those letters and numbers too!!!


More stamps...sqeeeeee!


Aluminium tape, and a Mitzi mouse. I have been waiting for this mousie for aaaaages, and he is finally here. He needs a name, I think Albert.


blue masking tape, this is fabby. I have no idea what I will use it for but just looking at it makes me excited lol


and these are just jaw droppingly amazing. Mitzi made these!!!!! can you believe it, they are not bracelets, though the darker one does fit around my wrist. They are dangly doo dahs...ok so that isnt their real name. But they do dangle, and twizzle... I will be hanging a doll from one of them so that she dangles and twizzles around, instead of getting twisted up in the nylon thread that she currently hangs from.




again, Mitzi thankyou sooooo much.



can anybody please tell me why none of my paragraphs are working when i use compose?? I am having to go into the edit html and go thru the whole post adding paragraph html???? it is very annoying.

Glee and giftage...

Have you ever heard of a lady called Mitzi? no? really, well you are sure gonna wish you had. Mitzi is my friend, I know ...really I do have friends!

I got to know her randomly and completely by accident from watching 'arts and craft' shows on ustream. Mitzi is funny, I mean really,really funny. We swapped recipes, we chatted on shows, we skyped, and before long it was like we had always know each other. You are so gonna want to be friends with her too.

You can find her on Twitter but also on Ustream...http://www.ustream.tv/channel/mitzi-s

There are no saved shows, you will just have to watch out for impromptu streamage.

Mitzi's shows are the absolute best art shows that don't actually contain any art! Mainly they are a bunch of friends hanging out in Mitzis house, drinking coffee and talking shit

But it's the best kind of shit, the kind only great friends can share....and boy does Mitzi share! have I mentioned she is awesome, and you really must be friends with her!

back in way,way ages ago, mitzi decided to send out a ton of RAKS to her friends, i was lucky enough to be on that list, and my box of utter glee and wonderment came today. i thought I would share it with you.

But as there is so much of it, like seriously this box is an uber box, I will only be opening a couple of bits each day

This is the box opened, everything inside is wrapped in dressmaking paper, I love it! do you love it too?


Firstly there was a layer of loose pattern paper, left over from the mammoth wrapping session that Mitzi must have had,oh i am gonna love using all this paper.


The first unwrapped gift was this Basic Grey (SWOON) paper pad, I luuuurve BG, no really I do. I know the ustream girls are wetting themselves laughing at this point. My love for the BG knows no bounds. There will be much strokage, and cooing over this paper pad...and you know i mean it lol


Next gift unwrapped contained all these foam stamps, these are fabulous. I will use them for backgrounds in journals and for making my own papers, the possibilities are endless!



just look at all the designs, ahhh such glee


Mitzi, my love you are just heavenly, with the truest biggest heart.Thankyou sooooo much! Come back tomorrow folks to see what I unwrap next.
