Sir Stampalot have a fabulous spacious shop in Peterborough as well as an on line store specialising in he very best of rubber stamps and all things crafty to feed your addiction. And Janice from Stampalot has even come up with a song title to go with the prize:

The Animals Went in Two by Two

Our fabulous DT girls have done an amazing job I am sure you'll agree. They certainly had me singing....especially Brenda's Madness number :o)
