Let me just start by saying I am the perfect consumer.  I don't normally buy chocolate bickies, but since seeing the mallowpuff advertisment on TV I think I have bought 3 packets… it's just hilarious watching the kids crack them on their foreheads before they eat them.  A warning though – it really hurts!  We've had the "should Griffins have really put an ad like that on TV – it's going to make kids all over the country hurt themselves…" conversation here at the Howard home.  The conclusion was that it'll only hurt if we encourage them.  I don't think I've laughed that hard with the kids in ages.  Good one Griffins.

What's going on with scrapping?  Classes – I'm away at the sketchbook retreat this weekend… Christchurch at Scrapbook Art on the 29th November and I've just confirmed a class in Auckland for December 6th.  It's something different and perhaps a little keen – I'm not sure – it'll be a laugh anyway.  I'll post news of that one when I get details sorted!

Here is an interesting thread about 'softies' type scrapbooking embellishments and how a nasty chemical reaction can turn them to mush on your page… made me look through my stash wondering what I had that was similar.

I have a new class for sale up at Aussie SCrap Source – Fun adhesive elements…

Bit of a short post from me today, busy busy getting stuff ready for the weekend.  And i had a lot to say and I'd stashed it in that very safe place in my mind called "must blog that" and now it's disappeared.  Who knew it had an expiry date. Or a leak.  Or something.

    Must watch for that ad. I usually “turn off” when the ads come on and can never tell you what they are. Oh well if I see kids (and adults) with bruised and battered foreheads I won’t be calling the police!!!!

    Your not storing your marshmellows in the freezer are you???
    Do you know what these softies are – I am worried now – I hope they are not the raindot type of thing.

    Softies – unsure what they are BUT have had stored emebllishments go sticky before I used them so trashed the lot. I am fairly cautious what I use in anything I want to have last. And totally reckless with the rest. Some things just don’t need to last 100 years 😉

    Hey Nic, what is a softie…. that is a term I haven’t heard but I would like to check my stash and my books. Can you post a link where I can see what this is or email me?
    Thanks!

    That’s too funny about the chocolate marshmallow biscuits! Abby is adorable. 🙂
    And yes, about the KI softies… I did find one on one of my pages that I’d put on with a glue dot… and the glue dot was starting to go mushy… so I scraped it off and put some Gloo on it. I hope that’s it.
