Ek pos al my bestellings met n trackingno deur die poskantoor en het nog nooit n pakkie in agt jaar verloor nie, en ek pos redelik baie bestellings. Dit mag partykeer baie lank neem as daar stakings is, maar dit bereik gewoonlik die bestemming.

So happy for you that they finally arrived ... and that you're playing with them ... looking forward to seeing more! Don't have a silhouette or other cutting machine ... but it sounds as though you could explore the possibilities with the laser cutting company you found ... you never know what might come of that!

I too have to apologize as you have commented on my blog in recent weeks and I don't think I came over here to comment.

You likely heard my cheering and applauding! Your cards: gorgeous, amazing, inspired, fabulous! Their impact is made all the more powerful with the journey some of your poor products had to endure! I'm often waiting 4-6 weeks for orders to arrive to Canada from the US, but several months? Oh my! Glad things arrived safely and that you finally have a chance to give voice to your abundant creative expression!<br />Hugs~ccmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03929147498832463255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702563700841703164.post-27306252801365992182015-10-16T19:01:39.568+02:002015-10-16T19:01:39.568+02:00Your two cards are absolutely delightful Petra and...Your two cards are absolutely delightful Petra and I love the Altenew stamps and the prettily coloured flowers look great against the black and then the grey notebook background. The second card is simple but really effective with the bold die cut sentiment and then the pretty flower stamped diamonds. I am so pleased for you that your parcels arrived eventually but how frustrating that they took so long. What a great idea to get some Africaans sentiments laser cut and I look forward to seeing them in use.

Your cards [as usual] are amazing - I love the mojo sketch one the best. <br /><br />I have to say you have the patience of a saint waiting 7 months for your goodies!

I am so very happy that they finally had a happy ending, and you will be enjoying your new goodies for a long time. It is really crazy how long it takes for things to arrive in the mail. Now, those new Altenew flowers are just gorgeous, and what a fun notebook edge die that is. I try not to look at MFT because I am already so tempted to buy all the PTI, I cannot add another company to my list. And, your hello card is so sweet, with all those little diamonds and flowers. I did not know that hello is the same in Afrikkans and English. See, I am becoming multi-lingual by visiting your blog. Hope you can get back in the swing of crafting and blogging now that you do not have to be standing guard at your mailbox every day.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00628064051832366762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702563700841703164.post-91615196601897161772015-10-16T04:34:53.725+02:002015-10-16T04:34:53.725+02:00After reading how long you had to wait to receive ...After reading how long you had to wait to receive your orders from MFT and Altenew I hereby promise to never complain about our post office ever again! The longest I ever had to wait for anything was when I ordered some Kuretake watercolors from Amazon. They were shipping from Japan so they took about six weeks to get to me. Obviously no where near the wait you endured so I envy you and your endless patience. <br /><br />Oh, and I love what you've done with your new goodies! I look forward to seeing what else you create in the coming days!Jen Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10900261769824561993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702563700841703164.post-13944178453133191732015-10-15T22:51:09.407+02:002015-10-15T22:51:09.407+02:00Hoi Petra!

Dat je ze toch nog kreeg na zoveel maanden wachten.<br />De hoop al bijna opgegeven en dan toch nog de pakjes krijgen.<br />Zo heb ik eens een pakje uit België niet gekregen. Heel dichtbij eigenlijk, ik denk 200 km. Spullen van Tim Holtz. Helaas heb ik die nooit gekregen.<br />Je kaarten zijn heel mooi. En de woordstans is inderdaad handig, in veel talen kent men Hello of gebruikt men het.<br />In Nederland heb je Nederlandse en Engelse stansen te koop, dus ik hoef niets te laten snijden.<br />Wel leuk dat je iemand gevonden hebt die het voor je kan doen.<br />Lieve groeten en tot gauw!<br />GerJanneGerJannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733387096613315769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702563700841703164.post-65628673166520765912015-10-15T18:13:41.904+02:002015-10-15T18:13:41.904+02:00It is wonderful to see your cards again, Petra!

I can't believe how long you had to wait for your precious packages to arrive . . . I thought it was bad enough here in the UK, but I'm not so sure now?! Anyway, I'm glad that all's well that ends well and it was worth the wait (for us at least) as these creations of yours are fabulous!! To your question regarding electronic cutters. I have used these cutters and had a number of them over the years - I even used to have an on-line shop selling cutting files I had created for these machines - but that's another story. Anyway, I have owned a Craft Robo, Craftwell, a Black Cat Cougar and finally a Brother Scan N' Cut and I have found that all of the above mentioned has struggled with very fine fonts and a lot depends on the material you are cutting, the actual design you want to cut, blade depth, pressure and even the stickiness - or lack of - and the sharpness of your blades. Which is why, in the end, I gave up my on-line shop because everyone wants to blame your files! Anyway, I digress, to answer your question, I have never tried a Silhouette so am unable to comment on them but my Scan N' Cut has been the best one yet . . . I can even cut my stamped images out with it! Sorry this is a long-winded comment!! Have a lovely day my lovely friend! Nice to see you back!

We are definitely spoiled here in the US by our PO and other delivery options. But I am glad that you Finally!! got both packages and can't wait to see what you make with them! I have a Cameo, and it does cut fine things if you work on the settings and it has "Print and Cut" files, though I've never tried to change the words on them...Hannelie might know more about that. She's a dynamo with the Cameo! Your cards are lovely, and I like the bright colors of the first one very much. The flowers and dies are wonderfully used there too. Your second card is so pretty with the sparkly and flowery diamonds. And the peach color shines against the white base. Good to see you back in blogland! I'll be taking a little break from cardmaking as I'm headed off to watch four of the little ones for a few days. Take care.
