Monday and a new week has hoved in to view!

Morning readers, 

I've a make to share with you today ....... now, a week or so ago I rediscovered an elderly Stampotique barcode stamp and found it wasn't square on the wooden mount (hence having to layer it in my original post here, to cover up my wonky stamping). Whilst I was having a rummage last week I found another barcode stamp set - this time from Kaisercraft. This set was clear acrylic so any wonkiness would be entirely down to me! It also has words beneath the barcode (unlike the Stampotique image) so I thought I would have another go. I didn't want to do exactly the same so instead of the black/grey colour scheme I went with Kraft and brown however, I did make the mistake (?) of using the same fab sentiment (from Happy Little Stampers!). I hope you approve of the Mark II version of "the same but different"

For those of you who saw my recent post regarding the Secret Santa gift of a "three meals for two people" delivery from Hello Fresh, we had the last of them at the weekend, posh sausage and mash!
