    Just wanted to say Thanks to Soulie for the badge - I hope you dont mind, I post occasionally, not everyday :) (Mainly asking stupid questions!)..

    On the stupid question note, does anyone have the marianne creatables snowflake dies? I bought a set from Ebay and have noticed that when I try cutting, I always have to poke the card/paper out as it always get stuck.. Any ideas?

    Soulie - where do you get your crafty wins from please? Do they get posted somewhere in order to enter them?

    Hi, thank you for asking :)

    I actually won a Penny Black stamp set back in ummm January I think, from someone's b*** who was giving away b*** candy each day throughout that month.

    The same with the ProMarkers I won, was also a B*** candy win.

    What they usually get you to do is post a comment on their candy, and post a B*** entry on your B*** with a link to their candy, so other people can enter too.

    The $25 gift certificate, which I won recently, was won by entering one of my cards in to a challenge.

    I have links on my B*** to a few current candies, {you will need to scroll down and click on OLDER POSTS for the August Candies I have found so far}, there is also some in my sidebar, and links to challenges :)

    Hope that helps!

    You're very welcome :)
    And I hope you join in the discussion more often!
    However, I cannot help you with your question.
    BTW there is no such thing as a stupid question :)

    Hi, if you go back a page or two {or three} there is a post with both of the badges and how to get them and posted on your B*** or check out my B*** in the usual place and I have made a recent post with both badges :)

    Just right click to save to your PC and upload to your photo storage account, for the animated one, or if you do not have one, you can just use the static one :)

    Hope that helps!

    I've just bought the Woodware trimmer a few days ago, and I love it. It's very easy to use, and tak eup to 12 x 12 paper. The trimmer bit also lifts up, so it's easy to position your paper.

    It comes with two cutters - a straight one and a victorian one.

    I highly recommend it!

    You need to find the link to your picture on photobucket. It usually says something like share image? Then email, web, etc. You want the direct link, so it should say something like http://www.photobucket.whatever

    Copy this link, then go and replace Soulie's photobucket link with yours in her coding. Then copy the code into your blog.

    Sorry about that Soulie - I just thought I needed to copy and paste the link you posted. ;)

    Irlip - I have the one from Hobbycraft that is permanently Half price. :cool: It's £12.49 and has a straight blade, a wavy one and a perforating blade. The replacements cost about £6 but I've had mine three years and only replaced it last week.

    I have posted the winner of my Bl*g Candy on my you know where!

    Very well done to the winner (could you please pm me your address) and thankyou for entering everyone else. I wish you all could have won. :A
