I've seen this sort of stuff on US ebay and was trying to explain it to a keen crafty friend and she thinks I'm pulling her leg LOL I just don't get it, and I hate to say, it seems to be big in America but why....do they not realise they could be spending their money on beads??? :o) Momentos are not made more precious by being stuck on fancy paper, it's the memories they inspire that counts....oops bit deep for a Friday evening!

And it's not at all clear that you even get everything that is shown. All it says that is included are the 5 tags. Not the frames, not the 'busy as a bee' picture.

Back to stamping and scrapping, obviously! :-)

Even if it were a typo, that means that some other bidder would have put in a max bid of around $130.00 in order for the current bid to be $132.50.

Not in the least surprised :-)
