princesspoppypop

poppy that doesnt seem like it will be much fun...! I am hopin that I won't have to have mine out but I probably will as my mouth is so small I think thats why my gums are swelling up all the time...luckily I only have 2 though! on the same side...strange but thats me all over

Gemm - I made the mistake of watching the procedure on you tube :eek:
You can get them taken out under general but I really didn`t fancy that!

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!

My sister (6 years younger than me) claims that one of her childhood memories is waking up to find me standing over her with a pillow in my hands, poised... :eek:
I can't stand grinding teeth. And now I have a dog that does it. :rolleyes:

Thanks for the codes qwiksave - my bank account is now £29 lighter.:o
But, I think I have got a lot for my money:

1 x-cut maxi-guillotine (pink, does 12x12)
50 x A6 card blanks and envelopes
50 x square card blanks and envelopes
1 papermania 12x12 paper storage folder
1 set of Fiskars circle templates
1 set of Fiskars oval templates

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, it is the vintage colours that I use to colour with in my tutorial :rotfl:What I do is pick up the tiniest of colour and work from the outside of the face inwards. This way you get the darker colour on the outside and the lighter in the middle. Try it!!

:eek::eek::eek:- there is always something! Why can`t we all just play nicely with our crafty stash!

The pain I went through last year was unreal - I felt like I couldn`t go on.... my tooth was infected and my jaw was huge and swollen. I threw up loads and couldn`t eat cos I just felt so ill.

Now my teeth don`t even bite together properly. I hate having anything done with my teeth, I took my Mum when I had a filling

Sorry I know I should be on a dentist forum!!!! lol

Well thanking you very much ladies. I will have a try tomorrow and see if I can watch the tutorial in peace without DD shouting HALLO at the screen when she hears voices :rotfl:
I am not promising I will like them anymore though but I will give it a go.

Sorry for such a short one, I am supposed to be watching Auf weidersein with OH and I am instead looking on here and he is huffy lol I will post properly tomorrow x

Hi girls,

Been lurking here for a while (just got in to scrapbooking and just made my first couple of cards and an exploding box).
I got a big order through from craftsuperstore with the 15% discount code. it was like christmas all over again

I got the secret garden papermania stack in 12x12 for 2.49 - really happy with it! also lots and lots other bargains that I'm impressed with.
Some k and co paper stacks including:
http://www.craftsuperstore.co.uk/Crafts/Paper-Cardstock-and-Pens/12-x-12-Paper-and-Cardstock/Paper-Multipacks/sc1154/p5490.aspx
which has some lovely thermograph (?) sheets, a glitter one and a flocked one. too cute!
the 6x6 exquisite vellum on the offers page is lovely too at 2 quid.
brad tower at 3.50 is lovely!

I got the 25 quid mega box thing as well version 3.
http://www.craftsuperstore.co.uk/Craft-Kits/Card-Making-Kits/sc1236/p7730.aspx
this time (I had one before) in mine I got:

embosser
3 nice brass stencils
3 different gold and sliver folded card packs (square, long and normal)
some plastic type paper (no idea what it is, but it's nice)

patterned edge sissors
pinky/purple 8x8 stack

4 adhesive ribbon packs anita's
some outline stickers anitas

hmmm i think that's it. but lots of fun things anyway!
hope that's helpful. if anyone gets the next version when it comes out it would be good to know what's in it!

Thanks!
(forgive the double post, but I'm going to put this in the scrapbook thread too)
