modes4u products month

Hey everyone, sorry been missing, I have not even put up my new prom mini but I will upload it on you tube shortly.

http://www.modes4u.com/

Although I am a bit late I have designated the whole of month of August 2010 to using the products I had received from Modes4u. Copy and paste the link. This is a kind of challenge and review at the same time. So I should start by telling you about the site.
I guess you already know the name, but incase you have just woken up, MODES4U is an online shopping site based in Hong Kong. No no!! Come back!! its okay, you dont have to run scared at overseas postage, thats why I thought I would let you know about this one and how its going so far.

I was actually approached by a lovely lady to try some of their products, and i thought okay why not, I am a crafter I can use anything. Famous last words. I talked to a lady called sandra she was my contact for the company via email, she seemed genuine so what did I have to looSe,

Right away I was impressed at their politeness, they kept me informed and even told me when it had been dispatched, so then I waited. Okay From Japan, you are not going to get it the next day, but I can say I got it just about in two weeks. Well packaged and lovely.

What a suprise!! aaah beautiful vibrant material!
I was really pleased, its really quality cotton, and I need to make the most of them, uh oh, I HAVE TO SEW!!!
watch this space.

She also sent me some polymar clay fruit pieces, these were the first time that I have actually seen them and they are just too cute. Actually I looked at the prices for them on ebay and you get a better quality of cane from modes for you. They will cut it or just send it uncut like those in the picture. He he I wont be using it for my nails, but check back here or on my utube channel angelah7030 and you will see what I actually came up with.



Let me give you a heads up!! these people are fantastic, dont believe me? okay you know that new Graphic45 Halloween in wonderland scrapbbook paper everyone is snapping up, well they have only got the material in to match. Its gorgeous and I looked to see if I could get it anywhere else and it only comes from japan my friends. I could go on and on about the material you got to see it, I am not exaggerating and not only that, they have it in THREE COLOURS with the alice silhoette. mwah so pretty, Why did I not get some myself? aaah well sadly due to my beliefs we dont celebrate halloween so I could not really get the any other paper to match. GO LOOK WHAT YOU STILL DOING HERE?!LOL

Not covinced, well check that Hello Kitty Material out!

Modes4u is a general craft store, but not a scrapbooking in general store. So they have cute self made stamps but not as we know them. They do accessories like bags, lunchboxes and they are forever adding new items ooh nearly forgot yeah they do really cute stationary items and they sent me these tapes to try out.





So if you have not looked already, yes if you love sewing then you will be heaven, they also do polymar DIY sets. Yes that takes you into a whole new world of crafting!!

I will start off by making some cards and keepsakes using the polymar clay items, I did order some extra stuff from them to make sure my design works.
Later I will show you my order when it comes in. I found out that they are the only suppliers of this polymar clay icing!! yep I looked in ebay not there!! What do I need that for? well you will see. lol
So far I would like to say that you should try shopping from Japan, I was a bit wary at first, especially via ebay, but they all arrived safely and in good working order. When I did place my order I did notice that the shipping prices are so reasonable, much more reasonable than shopping from USA (I am in UK). I was really pleased about the amount I had to pay for the shipping did not seem international rate at all, and they do combine shipping.

Why am I going on about these particular people so much? Well I would like the crafting accessories varied for my fellow scrappers, you get such lovely designs from Japan and here is a site that is genuine and honest.

Well off to get started but thanks for your time and keep checking back in the month to see what I eventually end up with from the products, and everyone keep their fingers (and/or legs) crossed for me that my sewing machine works, I have not used it in years! thanks for visiting

  1. Sarah loves Hello kitty! I wish i could sew and make some lovely things for her but i am rubbish at it. I even bought her a little sewing machine in the hope that i would use it but i am scared of it. Sarah bought a few things from Japan and it arrived quite quickly.
    Can't wait to see what you make with it.
    Hugs xx
