To be Canadian... not very often mind you - only lately when it comes to extreme shipping costs... I read on the Card Felt Greetings blog that Papertrey Ink's shipping costs had gone through the roof for Canadian and International customers... I mean - when I am paying $16 for a stamp set I don't mind - but $18.45 to ship the damn thing? To me they should be riding that stamp set up on a freaking white pony and hand-delivering it to me... and I was waiting for one of their stamp sets to come back into stock... I guess I will never own that set now... oh well...

So much for my love affair with Papertrey Ink... I have already sent them an e-mail expressing my dissatisfaction with their new policy.

To top it off - US customers still get free shipping when orders are $40.00 or more - and we get it up the @ss... good to see our extreme shipping costs are covering the free shipping for our neighbours (and yes - I know that they say the increase is for insurance and tracking... blah, blah, blah - I don't care and honestly insurance should be my choice).

On a happier note - 19 sleeps until Las Vegas!! Woot!

ETA... I just remembered that before Christmas, A Muse Artstamps actually changed their shipping to accomodate a cheaper option for Canada... with the disclaimer of that it could take longer... so I am off to order A Muse's new Sushi stamp set... mmm... sushi... and maybe some other stuff because Linda is cool (and Canadian - or at least she is from up here!!).

And the winner is... drumroll please... Colleen!! I had one of my co-workers pick a number between 1 and 20 and she picked the number 2!! I will send you an e-mail this morning to get your snail mail address.

Hmm... last night was productive - I think I pumped out about 30 cards for my craft fair next week at work. I am not sure what to expect - the joys of new fairs... and I don't have the same display units that I did when I lived in Prince George - so we will see how it goes! I did take some pictures - but they are on my new camera and it is kind of a rig-a-moral to get them on a computer since the memory card doesn't fit in any of the slots so I have to manually hook up the whole camera using the cord.

First snowfall in Calgary last night - lets just say that stupid Calgary drivers are even more stupid now...

Yes... it is late... but I did promise blog candy - so here it is!! Just leave a comment with your favorite embellishment to use on a card... and all of this could be yours!This picture was taken with my new camera... nothing fancy yet but I have signed up for a photography course in the new year to learn how to use it better!!

ETA... I will be drawing for the blog candy on Wednesday morning - so you have until Tuesday at midnight to make a comment!!

OK... so I can't spell... but I WON!! I entered the Papercrafts World Cardmaking Day contest... and I am a winner! Here is my letter...
