Finally got more tippex!

Tippex is such a life saver when it comes to letter writing. Rather than ending up frustrated at the mess of a error and the thought of starting all over again, a little bit of tippex saves the day.  

This was one of the items I received as part of a swap. I do already have 2 spare tippex rollers but the more the better as they are always needed.

If I accidentally write an address wrong on an envelope I don't go throwing it away, this is where tippex comes in handy again. 

I like to reuse things and hate waste when it isn't needed. I'll be honest though I have never tried a tippex pen and I do wonder what they are like, if they are easy to use or if they dry up quick as I found some basic tippex fluid used to dry up easily all the time or maybe I just wasn't using it right.

Charm Earrings

As many of you may know already, I love swapping stuff. I am also disabled and I struggle to walk so I'm stuck inside most of the time. Luckily with my mail being posted by a neighbour I can continue my hobby.

Charm earrings are so simple to make, and my penpals love them. Some even ask for matching bracelets. I do love jewellery making but due to back pain I can't tolerate much anymore but I can still do a few bits at a time which is enough to get some trades done.

Below you can see some current ones I have available:

I thought I would share my ideas with people. They may be simple but they still make a good gift.

New Cat Treat - Easipet Cat/Kitten Scratch Pad

This item was part of a swap I did with a member in my swap group on facebook. She kindly got me this in exchange for some goodies and it seems my cats love it. Although as I was opening the box, all Spyro was interested in was running away with the cellotape until she actually saw what was inside and smelt the catnip.

Poor Blaze did want to play and have a roll around also but Spyro made sure she spread all over it.... So Blaze took a huff and sat on the floor.

I think I can safely say my cats are very grateful and love it. One of their scratch posts is ready for the bin and to be honest so is one of the activity centres that I have for them as they are both a few years old. I did buy a new activity centre to replace the old one but I haven't yet thrown the old one out. I thought this would be a fine treat for them.

Eventually Spyro did let her sister have a turn on it as she got hungry.. One thing I must say though is  although I knew it came with free cat nip, I thought the portion was tiny. Maybe I just expected too much since it was free after all but I do have catnip of my own so I guess that is something. 

Since my cats love it so much, my review of this definitely has to be that it is a great product for cats.. Especially lazy ones with the way it curves ha! 

New Stickers!

I must admit, I have far too much stationary and I just don't know when to stop. I just spot it and think "oh that will go great for my penpal letters!!". Before I knew it, I had a massive box full of stuff. 

A website I use for swapping called swapit often has stationary supplies and unfortunately I can never resist! 

Well I can definitely say that my letters wont be boring anytime soon. 

I am not girly in the slightest, quite the opposite although most people I write to love stickers, washi tape, gel pens and anything stationary.

I look forward to adding these to my letters.
