Sorry but can I ask another question, does anyone use glue pens? I have a sakura quickie glue pen and have used it for the first time today but I am not 100% convinced. Does anyone use one of these? are they ok? could you reccomend anything similar that is good?
I am struggling with my new die letters, they are quite small and fiddly when it comes to glueing, I always end up with more glue on me than I do on the letters!

Hmm, looking at the Helix board, alot of the 'features' seem a bit odd- they make a fuss of how the box fastens and that it has a lid and base. I'd be a bit wary of it.

CT...thats so different ...Its fantastic ...well done in coming up with a brillaint idea

I cant decide either about the craft room after buying the crafters companion and being very dissapointed Im taking my time with this one.
Ive got score boards and envelope boards + embossing boards just wondering if this will be any different

Rusty I love my glue pens for fine work and glittering edges of images I brought a different brand to Sakura, I will check later what its called and edit this post
I dont know if its just me but Im not that impressed with sakura but I did buy them off ebay so Im wondering if they are genuine ones

Thanks Saveapenny, I think it would probably be less impressive than the cratfers companion looking at the 2. I might just leave it and put 1 magazine down on my list I hate writing lists but then it is the element of suprise and he struggles to buy for me bless him.

I have searched on ebay and found the sakura pens cheaper than what I paid. I think it is just cause it is so runny which puts me off, and also blue :rotfl: which I guess is good cause you can see where you are putting it! .... I ended up putting something flat and heavy on top just to make sure it sticks, it seems to have worked lol think I was just having a panic. I also tried it on a door hanger and that seems to have worked fingers crossed.

Hiya Ladie's I have a Helix Craft room and i love it i won 1 last year and loved it then but sold it cos i wanted a cuttlebug lol lol anyway a friend gave me her Helix that she won lol lol and i love it the Paper trimmer is a good one and i like the embossing plate that come's with it. If you get it free with mag i think its worth getting.

I also use the Sakura Quikie Glue pen and love it i had another version and it was rubbish so i prefer sakura. xxxx
