Helloo - just a quick question about 'Wordle' - can you tell I'm quickly getting addicted to it LOL!!! Anyway, is there anything I can do to change the colours - its just the colours on there seem quite limited...? TIA

Well I wrote a long post and the OH came along and closed down the screen - aahhh, I'll try and remember what I had written.
Flourgirl - I checked on creativecraftworld - thanks to Rainmac's link and although it doesn't say so anywhere on the site if you add stuff to your basket it automatically deducts 30%. That takes the bazill cardstock down to about 32p instead of 45p. Plus if you spend over 20 quid its free delivery - just make sure you choose this option at checkout. So glad for you it went okay at the hospital today.
Jailhousebabe - glad you found a use for your paypal money - those 12x12 paper packs are fantastic - along with your papers you get a sheet of stickers and a sheet of letters.
Npsmama - that looks like a fab project - I spent last weekend sorting out my ribbons - it took ages.
Rainmac - congrats on your candy win. Can I ask where you got your crocheted flowers from - I've looked but they seem really expensive?
Saveapenny - thanks for the ideas about the flowers - but I fell out with my printer months ago and I haven't turned it on since - stupid thing!!!!
Louby-lou-lou - gorgeous card - I love the colours - your husband will love it.
For all those that are waiting for stuff from me - there might be a bit of a delay. I normally go to the post office when I take the kids to school on the bus as they're isn't one thats close to me and I don't drive, however there was an "incident" at the school yesterday and we're keeping the kids off school for the next couple of days.

I bought my crochet flowers from Poppicrafts, http://www.poppicrafts.co.uk/catalog/advanced_search_result.php?search_in_description=1&keywords=crochet. Much nicer prices

Hope the incident wasn't anything awful?

Yes you can, look at the toolbar just above the image you've created. Go to Color, Edit custom pallette and then click on each block of colour and select a new colour. You can also so to Color and then Recolor and it will choose new colours for you or selct one of the other colour options.

Hope that makes sense

I was thinking of offering some blog candy,since everyone on here is so generous. But I dont have piles of papers or embellishments ,I could offer quite a bit of solid colour papers and card (embossed etc). Do you think anyone would be interested in that or is it too boring?

I think crafters see all stash as goodies

CT19720 this is what i was referring to as the kit
http://www.craftsuperstore.co.uk/Gifts/Scrapbook-Kits/sc1053/p9497.aspx

If anyone could confirm that would be great.
Id started a blog as
1) my card collect was geting too large
2) I wanted to enter some blog challenges
Ive entered the CCC challenge this week with a handbag, but Id asked saveapenny for a template last sunday not realising one of the demo cards was a handbag too... so Saveapenny can vouch for my honesty;)
The second challenge I entered was the secret crafters saturday challenge "glitter" so I entered a baby boy pram that I had made.
