    Thanks i'm not quite sure what they are lol the bigger ones look like dragonfiles but the smaller ones look like butterfiles to me. I got them ages ago from a local shop but it has closed now.

    Evening all - really annoyed as I just did a lovely long post with personals then everything froze and I lost it! Suffice to say - all the cards are fab as always!

    Mumhug - your Thomas card was lovely - I've a 3 year old train fan too.

    I just wanted to share with you some amazing service from the Sectret Crafter - I ordered a couple of promarkers and some Prima flowers at 3.30pm yesterday - and they were at home when I got back today. Postage was only 1.28 too.

    Just signed up at the crafty place - I think I'm going to enjoy challenges - haven't had time for any cardmaking this week though - hopefully tomorrow evening....

    whoo hoo my hubby is feeling sorry for me cos i can't go out so told me to keep an eye out for the postie. He bought me a lovely set of 11 oriental stamps and 3 huge vintage lady stamps.Then today the postie brought 3 sheets of clear stamps just right for atc's or as he said i thought they'd be good for those little fiddly things you were doing the other day.
    Then today he said he said oh by the way i ordered you and kaitlyn some stuff from artymiss he ordered the 2 sets of wooden smirk stamps and some papers and some fairy stamps cos kaitlyn is only 3 but she loves to craft and loved the stamp rusty's little boy used on his card.
    wonder how much longer i can be ill for lol.

    Just wondering if someone could send me the details for 'Rusty's secret place' (although that sounds slightly rude !).

    Thanks xx

    I have just got off the phone with my sister-in-law who has just talked at me for 45 mins so I now feel completely drained and brain dead :eek:

    Dawnteabag - Lovely cards, I hope your Mum is feeling better
    Gemm - Gorgeous card, it is sooo pretty. Thanks for your email, I will email you back tomorrow as my brain is now cabbaged !
    Louby-Lou-Lou - Lovely card, I love how you have put the sentiment over the ribbon - I will try and add this to the memory bank
    Mumhug - Lovely cards - the bookatrix ones look so hard
    The Wife - Another great card, I am also following you and like the sound of all your hats !
    Rusty - Thank you for adding some more images to the special place, I have already earmarked a few

    Apologies, if I have missed anyone off, my sister-in-law can talk the hind legs off a donkey (I hope that is the saying):rotfl:
