Hels - the papers are cogsmo by cosmo cricket. They have been out a while so a lot of shops have them in their sales. I think they are great papers for boys - here's a link if you want to have a look at the papers:

Rainmac - only the cat lives in the house - the birds live at the bottom of the garden in their own shed unfortunately we have a really long garden so it's not so great when it's raining but OH brought me home a high viz jacket (think lollypop ladies) so at least I don't get wet now - lol.

I've been looking at a scalloped edge punch but am still being good - I have scallop scissors but have right probs with them as I'm left handed I do have a cuttlebug and an x-cut guillotine as recommended by plm so I don't have to throw mine any more
