I spent ages looking for a story about Carl until I realised you'd probably just pasted the wrong link in :rotfl:

lol saveapenny - I have seen those trimmers in my local craft shop, the last time I was in there the owner was really trying to sell me one of those Carl trimmers:rotfl:

probably cause I asked him about replacement blades for my Fiskars trimmer and they don't stock them :rolleyes:


debs - lovely card, looks very intricate

Debsy - really pretty card, and its really clever how it opens up.

Mary - hope your conjunctivitis clears up soon, I've had it a few times and its horrible.

Rainmac - can't wait to see your peek-a-boo card. Its been sunny here too, its still a bit cold though.

melissa - thanks. It's really a nuisance - at the minute looks worse than it might be - OH says I could be in a horror film !!!!!!:eek:
Back to doctors tomorrow.....haven't had it since I was little and don't know how long its supposed to last..........

debsy your card is so pretty and dainty.

Just wanted to pop in and say thanks for all the help and advice I recieved from you ladies.
I finished my valentines card today with the help of saveapenny's insert (thank you). I put a little verse in it too and I'm very pleased with it for my first real card.

Saveapenny - that paper looks fab!

Mary - Years ago I went into hospital to have my wisdom teeth taken out, and caught it. I had a really bad case of it last year when my eyes were really sensitive to light, it was so bad I felt like crying. My m-i-l always says to wipe your eyes with warm milk.

A heads up for another sale. I can't remember who was asking about wax seals for a wedding invitation, and I'm too lazy to look through the thread. But I found these on special offer here:

there's some for 8 quid!!!!!!! BUT there's also a few for 3 quid, if you look on the next page there's a "family" one that might be suitable.
There's some decent stuff in the sale :

I've got a few of the flip packs and they're really good, I like the look of the month one, (12 sheets of stickers for 2.37). Check out the next page too as there's some of the xmas range reduced. Are you looking Rainmac??????
Delivery is 2.95 for up to a 30 quid spend.
