Hmmm. I've got my package for the Biscornu Exchange ready (it has been for days), I just need to be able to catch the Army guy who mans the post office for ten minutes every third day. In the meantime... I've been on ebay a *couple* of times and bought quite a lot.

I've also been browsing loads and one of the best things ever is typing 'japanese craft books' into Google Images :D
I'm actually looking forward to organising my newly aquired stash and reorganising the stuff I already have - I'll have some time off once I get back from Iraq - bliss!

Having a good stash is a very healthy project, always something readily available to make you feel good and take a healthy breath of "ahhhh"! Thank you for your sweet comment on my blog, I am flattered.
I think you are doing an extremely brave thing and hope that your return home is quick!
Kim,
THANK YOU!
I received your biscornu and fob and... package today... I have posted on my blog and on the HOE blog. WOW what a beautiful job you did! If you actually made the design you should think about having it published! I said so on my blog, and already someone has agreed!! I am thrilled with the package!! thank you! I love your blog as well and so I hope you do not mind if I look here and there and link to it? I love your rules too... I started in the beginning...
thank you so much!
Laura
