    Just a quickie as I'm supposed to be revising for an exam tomorrow morning. :o

    Good to see you back pinkladymel, polly1976 and myzdamena. :)
    Flourgirl - hope you get lovely weather in Wales.
    rainmac - glad your weekend went so well; I hope you've been taking it easy this week!
    melissa - hope Elliot is behaving himself :p
    gemma - sorry to hear about your parents' cat (hugs).

    Sorry haven't time for a full catch-up; I wanted to get my entry for the stitching challenge in, so I've just added it to my blog. As you can see, I've taken the easy (and less time-consuming) option of faux stitches! :p
    some people grin and bear it, others smile and do it :)

    Hi just wondering the DoCrafts magazine - is it subscription only - been everywhere trying to get my hands(Hobbycraft, Smiths, Border etc) on it but no one seems to stock it???

    ali - they stock it in The Range. It's also available online (probably at the docrafts website?). I'm sure some1 can find you a link x

    ali the docrafts mag isn't available on subscription but you can usually get it from craft shops that stock docrafts products like the range or it is available on line from various places but postage is steep unless you are buying other things .

    Try Liz at Making a Lasting Empression here

    It seems she only has petite scalloped circles there not the large..does that make a difference? Don't want to waste money getting something that's 2cm wide or something hehe

    The Gliiter pot have it for mail order like there's anything much they don't have :rotfl::rotfl:.

    P&P for that would be £1 far cheaper than a trip to The Range in my experience ;)
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p

    Loadsa Nestie circles

    lol... anyone else think the price on these will rocket in the next day?..... I was bidding on something the other day and put in £11 and was winning and at the last minute I was outbid.. with £36 .. ok so I am a cheapskate but it means sometimes when i don't get outbid I get mega bargains

    ...like my huge box of watercolour and acrylic paints for £11 from months ago... I still have to work out what to do with them all lol

    polly - what a brilliant card :T

    jailhouse - really super card -(what's faux stitching ?:confused:)

    flourgirl - thanks for all the links................I found some seed packet templates on one (bit like the way I've done my tea bag holders) and now I'm going to do some seed packets for foster daughter. She's got a lovely cottage garden and brought me some seeds round in an old envelope. Said she's going to start collecting seeds from her garden -so............must get some pretty paper and do a few packets for her :rotfl:(something else on my 'to do' list.................lol)
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !
