MIA, News and CANDY!!!!!

Hello Everyone!!!!
Sorry for MIA.... its been a longtime now....Feb was super busy month for me.
Lots of things changed in our life last month!!
Long story in short my Hubby got transferred to INDIA for 2 years..
we got only 3 weeks time to pack our 11 years of life( in USA).... it was a crazytime,very tiring and chaotic but finally we managed to complete the transition and we're in INDIA now!!
Still searching for an apartment...hope to find it very soon.
As I moved to India I had to leave most of my much loved DT works :((
Anyway...
I packed as much craft supplies possible as we hardly get any latest products in INDIA and I plan to craft a lot in our new home.
While packing my supplies I came across lots of stuff which I used a little or didn't use at all...so I thought of sharing them with my readers...
so here is a goodbye candy!!

Sorry I didn't get time to note down all brands and quantities of the products...but here is the list of what I remember...
50- 6x6 sheets of designer papers.
a bundle of various card stock,vellum and some designer papers.
3-4 designer paper pads( few sheets already used)...7 gypsies, DCWV...
1- creating keepsakes scrapbook kit;
15+ cling mounted Rubber stamps(new)
few clear stamps;
2- punches;
Lots of My Mind's Eye sticker sheets;
Martha Stewart Baker's twine;
Ribbons;
lots of chipboard frames, icons and shapes;
1 chocolate stamp pad;
some stamped images;
a bunch of shape templates;
various embellishments;
and many more....

I left the a box packed with these goodies with my friend....she mail it on my behalf.
So its a candy for my lovely readers!!
Please let me know if you would like to win this box of crafty goodies by March 10th...
I  will pick a winner on March 11th and mail the goodies !!!

Thanks for visiting my blog...I really appreciate all your love and support, please keep on visiting me .

Good Luck!!!

Welcome to India. Please join us as we would love to have such a talented crafter with us. And since I,m from Kolkata and you, re bengali, I think we connect in certain way. I would love to get those goodies from you and also lot of tips now that you are here.Can you tell in which city you have moved in?

Joan V said...

Oh Piali, you do lead an interesting life. Not from one state to the other, but one country to the other. I was wondering why I hadn't seen anything from you. I wish you so much happiness in India. If I was there, I would learn all I could about the food. I love Indian food and I am sure it is not hard to make. I think it is all in the spices. So sad the have to leave all your craft goodies behind but most importantly all the friends you left behind. Thank goodness for the internet. Take care and enjoy the next 2 years in your new home. Will be looking forward to seeing some of your great work. Maybe some recipes of new food that you are exploring. Thanks for sharing some of your goodies with your readers. joanvanc@gmail.com
