Yesterday I mentioned that I was going off on a shopping trip with my son for the day. It was not as bad as I had feared and we managed to finish early. It’s just as well as we did, because my Mr Brown (the SU demo name for the UPS delivery guys) appeared in the afternoon with a rather large box.

Some of you order directly through me because you live locally. This means you never get the fun and excitement of opening a Stampin’ Up! box (but you do get free p&p). So today, I thought I’d share yesterday’s box with you.

The box comes with plastic strapping and the tell tale black and silver Stampin’ Up! tape

Once opened – brown paper packing. I have so much of this for wrapping presents that this lot is going to be consigned to the recycling box

So, what’s in the box? Stamp sets, Designer Series Paper and lots more.

Getting organised – orders put into piles so I can check off what’s there.

I love checking out everything that gets ordered by other people. Believe it or not I don’t order everything in the catalogue, but the problem is that once I see what everyone else it getting I want it too!

I have to admit that a couple of the things in the box were for me and you can check out what I was playing with yesterday in the next photo.
