That's how much I paid for mine - think it was there - they had sweet nothings for £1 as well - not sure if they still do though

yes, they do have Sweet Nothings as well as quite a few other Papermania packs.

I succumbed to temptation and placed an order with Artymiss this morning - best thing is that I don't feel guilty about it - I can't wait! I only ordered very reduced stuff and I don't spend money on much else anyway - the days of going out are a distant memory now that I have 2 little ones

Rusty - I know it'll all be worth it, its like you loose all your dignity when you're pregnant - and then comes the birth!!!!! Ouch!!!
I had my wisdom teeth out years ago, like paddingtondoo - I didn't have enough room for them. It was strange after for a while - because I had holes where the teeth used to be I used to find food would disappear down them - especially grains of rice and then resurface days later.
Skiergirl - sorry I can't help, I don't think I've ever bought trifold cards!
Quiksave - thanks for those links!!!
Mumhug - your card is fabulous - she will love it!!

I am so not happy

My whispers pens are rubbish! From the pic on ebay they looked like normal colours, but only as I have come to use them tonight have I noticed that they are infact not!
The fleshy coloured one is brown!!!!!

Grrr

then I noticed on the label that it says vintage colours, she hadn't mentioned this in the auction and now I know why!

So I am going to relist them on ebay to try and get my money back on them

Guess I should have just stuck to DS's crayons!

I have got the window open but haven't had a chance to watch it yet. It isn't the pens themselves they seem to be fab, but it is the colours. having a brief look around whispers do 3 packs of 12, basic colours, pastel colours and vintage colours. I have bought vintage colours so don't really get anything worthwhile lol

My own stupid fault for thinking I was getting a bargain :mad:

Mumhug I recieved a letter from you today, thankyou very much .., sorry I meant to PM you earlier on but was having a few problems xx

Rusty I bought 2 packs of whispers pens I got the pastels and the brights I think. I am pretty sure that whatever the other ones are those are the ones that mel used in her blog video tho she didn't say it but told me sometime later. Why don't you ask her to be sure??

i agree with using them with a water brush affecxt much prefer them! Hope you can get some use out of them or your money back.

mumhug

Thank godness that finally arrived Rusty. Have you got a hobbycraft near you u could pop in and see if they have the 36 pen set i brought on sat. I am so happy with it for £16.

If not i have anfew of the brights I could send you as I now have doubles of them. I think there are only maybe six but you are more than welcome after all your help with images.

I still have all 4 of my wisdom teeth.......................... in a box in the drawer with the dogs first teeth :rotfl:

Apparantly I didn't have room for them (yep that's what I thought) and kept getting an abcess coz they were too close to the back of my mouth - I had them out at the hospital and the nurse said could I hold my hand still coz she couldn't get the injection in - I thought I was until I looked down and I was shaking like a leaf :rotfl:

I`m going to be awake for mine- just having a local anaesthetic, think I may need to be sedated too!

I have a hole in my wisdom tooth not sure how this has happened - but I do grind my teeth in my sleep :eek: Hubby said the noise is so loud and squeaky... eek!
