I was recently given a Spellbinders Glimmer Foil Machine. The gold circle was the first thing I foiled. I've had a lot of things going on recently and haven't had much time to create anything. I also had a bad fall and cut my knee open. That was over 2 weeks ago and It's still oozing blood which means I have to clean it and re-dress it each day. It will heal, but it's going to take a few more weeks.
This is a set of foiling dies I found on a craft site. I have only just got them and have yet to use them. It's a miracle I actually received them...
The lady I purchased them from posted them to me over 2 weeks ago. When they didn't arrive I checked the tracking number only to read that they had (supposedly) been delivered to me 6 days ago! I checked my mail box but they were not there. I'm keeping this short because it's a long story. I went to the NZ Post Depot and asked them. I showed them the photo of the parcel that had been sent to me by the seller. They checked the tracking number and said it had been delivered, but not to me, but to someone else. Someone had put a label on the parcel with a different address on and if had gone to them. She said to call Custom Service. I did this when I got home. Well! I tried to explain the situation and what I had been told, and how NZ Post had shown me a photo of MY parcel with a label on it addressed and delivered to a different address. I was then verbally abused by CS and told in no uncertain terms that NO-ONE at NZ Post would do that, and that I was not telling the truth!
I ended up writing a note and putting in the mail box of the person it had gone to. I left my phone number, and a addressed and briefly said what had happened. The next day I got a call from the lady, and she returned my parcel.
It was interesting because SOMEONE (NZ Post??) had cut the tracking number off the original parcel and stuck it to a different post bag, added a label withe someone else's address on, and also cut the senders name and address on and stuck it to the new post bag. "How Bizarre", to quote a famous NZ song.
I was able to remove the sticker with the 'not my address' on it. It was then I could see that the NZ Post bag was NOT the original bag the dies had been sent in.
However, I was just happy to get my parcel. I have been in touch with the seller, and she is just as confused as to what happened as I am. I have yet to use the dies.
So I am still here, I just have a lot going on the moment and haven't done much crafting.
On top of the NZ Post issue, I got a note from my bank saying someone had fraudulently tried to use my bank card, so the bank had put a top on my card. So I'm now waiting on a new card. Thanks for dropping by! Have a SUNSHINE day! Remember to always be your authentic self, and shine bright each and every day!
