Penni's "Rubbish" Candy

Hello Everybody ... guess who's back ?!?

It's hard to believe how busy I've been recently, but I'm going to tell you all anyway because I am trying to justify my existence and I like a bit of sympathy and praise (not much of that around here !!!)

It all started a couple of days ago when I came downstairs ...


...OMG !!! Penni's craft 'area' seemed to have taken over most of our downstairs floorspace ...



... there was nothing to do except roll my sleeves up and start tidying...


... making sure, of course, that everything was filed and stored away in an appropriate place ...



The final result was quite impressive, even if I say so myself !!


As a result of all this hard work on my part, our local refuse collectors have gone on strike unless they get a pay rise. Consequently, I have got 1 bag of 'rubbish' remaining which I am prepared to post to one of you if you want it. In order to 'win' this assortment of apparently useful things you need to do the following please:
  1. Leave a comment on Penni's blog. There's only 1 bag of rubbish, so there is no point leaving more than 1 comment. Your first comment is the one that will be counted.
  2. Leave a link on your blog site linking back to this post so that other people can come and admire my hard work ... oh yes, and possibly win a bag of 'rubbish' candy.
  3. Be patient ... the winner will be announced on Friday 2nd September GMT, so no entries will be accepted after Thursday 1st September GMT
If anybody needs to know what is inside the rubbish bag ...



... there's lots of rubber stamping things, ribbon stuff, some bags of bits, stickers, brads and other 'useful' items. Penni seemed quite sad to see this stuff going into a bag, so I guess it's worth having if you know what to do with it.

Good Luck.

Stay Happy !!

Simon.

    Oh Simon how funny! Don't go giving Len any ideas! I'd like to say how delighted I am with the stamps and punch which arrived yesterday morning. I love them - err, once I got into the very securely wrapped box! That was a real tease and I resorted to a kitchen knife! A million thanks!! Anyone wanting to buy any of Penni's pre-loved goodies that are for sale now and then - don't hesitate! Di x
