They've requested payment.......

For the copics i ordered 3 days ago

I was starting to get really worried as when i placed the order all i had was a thank you for your order and no request for payment. I tried contacting them via email everyday since and tonight the paypal request came. Paid that straight away as it will take long enough for them to get from Japan to the UK without delaying it anymore!!

I am so excited (as you can probably tell). Today i also planned my craft corner in my bedroom. My little girl has now moved in the room with her big Sis, we are going to Ikea on Saturday to replace all my pine bedroom furniture with floor to ceiling storage wardrobes (the ones you decide what drawes rails etc you want inside) so that will free up 50% of the floor space taken by furniture, plus the cot has to go.

I have ordered a desk (well it's 2 artbin mobile units with a desktop to go on top). 2 best craft organizer cubes and a load of other stuff.

I can't wait to have a designated craft space where i can be as creative (messy) as i please and not have to tidy up mid project to stop the kids from helping

New copics - new craft room (sort of) what more can a girl want (besides a babysitter ;) )

Sorry for waffling but just had to share my excitment. I'll take photos of it all when it's done aswell

It sound great. I can't wait to see your space when you get it set up! No wonder you are excited. I just got my Copics and I am looking forward to learning how to use them too!

Thanks for sharing my excitement with me. If i let on to my OH about how excited i am he would get the wrong idea and think i've moved my little girl out of our room for this reason!! She is 2.5 years old after all, luckily she's very happy that she has a 'big bed' instead of a cot......lol

Wow, it all sounds so.... awesome. Looking forward to seeing the finished project. It's fun to stamp anytime/anywhere, but, it's REALLY fun when it's your own space. Have fun setting it up and playing.

Awesome for you EM...everyone needs a place to get away and relax stamping..... Hope you love it!

I had an email the the copics were sent the other day *woohoo* and i have also got the shelves up in my craft corner. My hands are now soar from using a screw driver but thats a small price to pay My desk and other storage should be here tomorrow so i will be back crafting pretty soon *fingers crossed*

Woo hoo my copics arrived yesterday. That was so quick considering they came from Japan. They look fantastic in there posh acrylic stand and all i have to do now is get the chance to use them.........lol.

I did have a quick play yesterday to 'test' my different card stock (as suggested on Marianne's blog). They all 'bleed' except for my watercolour paper.

Looks like i will need to get some decent card stock. Anyone know of any decent ones in the UK?
