How can one make so much mess

Ok I had an order from my friend for christening card and a wedding card, when would she like them I ask her, "oh this Saturday" she replies. Yikes I have only got two days to make them.

Challenge set, I came up with these. Now I find it very difficult to make christening cards at the best of times, it's not bad, but I feel as though I could of done better.

The wedding card took slightly longer as there are a lot of layers to it. I used Stampin up cardstock, inks and Nestabilities by Spellbinders

Holiday and a moan.............

Well I am back from my Hols, spent a really nice week in the South of France, soaking up the sun and just relaxing. I even found time to do some of my Cross stitch !

Now for the Moan, I'm sorry I have to get this off my chest: Smokers and Stash.

Just recently I bought a long awaited cartridge for my cricut, I opened the VERY well wrapped package, to be met by a stained silicone mat and a pungent smell of smoke, so bad in fact that I needed to use my Inhaler.

This was not from EBay but from a forum,yes I know that there is no comeback so to speak, but we can leave feedback. Now my dilemma is do I PM the seller and say politely that her stash stinks or just leave it and not leave a feedback at all?
What would you do?
