Have I packed enough BOXES?

YES I think I have !

 Because yesterday I was making up 

3 more boxes and I taped the end of one box and turned it over

and taped the other end straight away !

ONE EMPTY BOX

(least it  was lighter to move)

Well I am still here packing boxes and organizing my move

I will soon be on my way .

Look forward to unpacking and using my tools again at 

the other end. 

On the move! from Victoria to Tasmania Australia

You might have noticed my blog has had 

less and less postings to it this year.

There is a good reason. Neal and I brought a house

and we are in the middle of packing up our house and 

moving to another state of Australia 

Yes that is right! We are moving from 

Victoria to Tasmania  .

So for the next Couple of months I don't think 

I will be very active here. As i pack up all my machines and 

card making stuff into boxes (oh and that is a biggg job as I have

been card making for 32 years and living here for 25 of those 

years so my collection sure has gotten big over those years.

One thing is I thought I could continue making things as well 

as packing but it does not seem to work like that.

Should be back to normal soon as i get organised if not 

sooner  ,  PLEASE Don't give up on me .

M-Bossabilities Embossing folder in EBosser tip

When I got the E Bosser I was hoping that I would never

have to get out the other embossing machines again .

But there was No sandwich for the 

M-Bossabilities embossing folder from spellbinders.

SO I was not going to let that hold me back I measured

a normal sandwich that goes through the ebosser and 

worked out that with an extra C PLATE (sold seperately ) 

 I could  do it and I was right it works soo nice a nice 

crisp emboss 

 Here is the plate order (sandwich)

 For those of you that have not seen the M-Bossablities 

they are two sided embossing folders and wonderful too
