And we’re back

Oops someone forgot to pay their hosting again. Anyways, I’m back and I have lots of goodies to share with you over the next few weeks. Lots of updates of what I’ve been creating.

I’ve taken on the role of part time teacher as my eldest is now home schooling and that in itself is an interesting ride. We’ll be blogging about it, including all our art projects. If you’re interested you can follow our journey over at Schooling in the Den.

Now to organise some new posts to share with you all….

Temu shopping haul

I’ve been a Wish & SHEIN shopper for cheaper craft stuff for awhile now and have mostly been pretty happy with the results. A new player entered the scene recently, Temu, and I decided to check them out.

I still love shopping at my favourite online stores but when I want something cheap, that I don’t mind waiting for, these are my go tos.

Anywho, onto my first order. I started small – a few stencils, a pack of stickers, some wax melts & stamp plus some storage boxes. The order was shipped within 24 hours of placing it and took about 2 weeks to get here, which is pretty good.

I ordered 2 lots of stencils – a single stencil and a pack of 12 stencils.
What I ordered

and what I got

The quality of the stencils is great and they are holding up to a variety of mediums so far.

Next up is the stickers

and what I got

These a bigger than I expected but I love them. A nice mix of washi style, words/quotes, florals, butterflies.

I’ll be putting them in these storages boxes. I’m definitely going to be ordering a heap more of these for my junk journal supplies.

and finally some wax melts, a spoon and a wax seal

I may have since placed another 2 orders getting more seals.

Overall I’m happy with what I got and I’ll be back to share my next orders when they arrive.
