Candy Time!!!!!!! - NOW CLOSED

I've been having a clear out of my craft room these last few days and I've decided to offer some stamps up for candy. These are stamps that I received when I was on the various design teams and as I received these as freebies, I thought that it wasn't right to sell them. Most of them have been inked up but only a couple of times and are still in the original packaging.

All I ask is that you leave a link to your blog (or your email address if you don't have a blog) and post on the Sidebar of your Blog for others to see, linking back to here. You do not have to become a follower but you are more than welcome to.  I will ship worldwide.

This will close Friday 18th March @ 12.00pm GMT and I'll announce the winner that evening.

Only 1 entry per person please.

Good luck and thanks for stopping by today.
