I had an email from this place this morning:

they're having a sale - 25 - 75 % off. To be honest there's hardly anything left in stock, to find out how much the product is you have to click on it - only then will you see the discount. Postage is 2.99. The reason I'm mentionging it is that they have the crop-a-dile for 10 quid which is a great price. They also have a basic grey 12x12 paper pack in the eva range for 6.50.

thanks melissa:rotfl:
when it arrives I just have to work out what to do with it!
now I am not looking at any more links:D

Just got back from my medical...........seemed ok but blood test showed sodium levels still low.......31 when they should be 36 -nothing drastic but another blood test recommended end of July.
Poured down with rain so got a taxi to surgery (cars in the garage being made better:o) but lovely sunshine when I came out.
Feel much more relieved now plus GP looked back in my records and a while back -couple of years I think - I had blood tests done when I nearly passed out in charity shop (how embarassing would that have been !) and sodium level was low then apparently but no-one obviously thought it important enough to mention. GP reckons it could just be one of those things with me............:rotfl:(along with the rest.........lol)

Oooh goodness - thanks for this (I think!) :rotfl::rotfl:Have just placed an order of bits & pieces I just HAD to have!! :rotfl:Anyone fancy telling me what I need a crop-a-dile for?!!! :rotfl:Having just ordered one... :rotfl:and not having a clue really what I need it for? :rotfl:

Lovely lovely cards everyone - really love the apron card - might be a good idea for my dad as he's mad about cooking & watching cookery programmes!! Also think the purple card was really beautifull... oh they're all just so lovely!!! Haven't had a go at decoupage (sp?) myself but guess I just layer up do I? ordered some bits and was a bit confused at the different 'stages' of the pictures iyswim? any tips/advice would be fabbo!!

glad it all went well Mary - you must be relieved

popkins I am interested to know what to do with a crop a dile too having just ordered one!

I will try and look back at everyone's cards and comment on them but in case I don't (don't know where the time is going at the moment) they are all fantastic and:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T to you all

A crop o dile is like a big hole punch (without all the effort) that will also set eyelets without all the hammering and banging.

There must be a video on you tube here you go. That'll keep you busy for a few mins. :rotfl:

Rainmac - congratulations on winning the blog candy.

Paddingtondoo - well done on your win from funky fairy.

Flourgirl - hope the hospital went well this afternoon.

Mary - glad the medical went OK for you this afternoon. Fingers crossed they find that your sodium level is normal for you.

Popkins & Bunbun - I have a crop a dile, but to be honest am still working out what to do with it :rolleyes:. I've used it to put holes in the centre of layered flowers, and I asked the same question over on Crafty Place, and Paddingtondoo suggested to use the eyelets for the centre of flowers, have to say the look very effective, if you colour co-ordinate the flowers and eyelets. Apart from that I don't use it.

Finished my CCC shape card this afternoon. It's here on my blog.

Came back home this afternoon to a couple of cards and my stash from the swaps on CP. Again pictures are on my blog. It felt like Christmas 7 months early!

Thank you for the card Dawnteabag it is fab.
