    well i've now got a pink squeezy thingy...lol

    took back my x-cut impress, that should be x-cut un impress and got my money back for it, so my pink squeezy thingy only cost me a fiver.

    how flippin big is it.

    just thought i would post this pic of craft boxes if anyone is interested.
    their selling them at home bargains for £2.99 and they hold loads of stuff.
    just an excuse to buy more things to put in them.:rotfl:

    hi guys I was wondering if anyone uses a glue gun. they have one in the Works for £4.99 and I was wondering if it was worth getting?
    I too think I need one of those squeezy things - will have to look for one! they sound great!

    Do you know, I nearly bought an Impress about a month ago as I saw some offer or other, so glad I didn't now ;) Love your un impress joke :rotfl:

    Hi bunbun, I don't own one but do use one when making wedding stationery as the glue is stronger and holds metal or heavy embellishments in place really well. I have had several accidents though with burning hot glue getting on my fingers :rolleyes:

    I've figured out how to use my creative cutter, and have made my first card using it:
    S1050759.jpg

    It's perforated so that the right-hand part of the card separates to be used as a bookmark - and as it's for my mum, I think she'll forgive the handwriting :D
    some people grin and bear it, others smile and do it :)
