    Rusty, QVC are having Sizzix session on one of their craft shows on Tuesday, (as per the Sizzix website), Sizzix have a box on their site to sign up for their newletter which will tell you about their promotions. Some are 75% off, can you hear all those dies calling you? :rotfl:

    Their P&P is £5 though :eek: and there's not many alphabet dies on there - most of them are rub ons - they had a huge sale in January last year and I got several of the red dies for £2.50 each.

    Shows age and mis sings Bros - you owe me nothing nothing nothing at all!
    Have a fab birthday - it's freezing here though!
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p

    Happy birthday Rusty! :j

    Glad you got the card on time. Did you notice that there's a free gift with every purchase over £40 on craft superstore this weekend? You should get this set of punches. An extra birthday pressie. :D
    some people grin and bear it, others smile and do it :)

    EmmaOC - I think the first series for me will always be the best - just because it was all a bit more innocent and the housemates seemed to be more themselves. Sorry can't help with uploading pics - I haven't tried it yet on there.
    Craftygranny - I've just been to your blog - there's some lovely things on there - i really like your baby shoes and your wedding cake template.
    Jailhousebabe - your door hangers and bookmarks are gorgeous. Can I ask what papers they are at the bottom of the door hangers - the ones with the butterflies on, is it the smirk ones???

    Hi Melissa - yes, the butterflies are from a Smirk 8x8 pad (Naughty but Nice). Much as I love Smirk, there are several pages that I find are difficult to use on cards (small cards, anyway). At least I got to use part of that page!

    thank you! I have become a follower. how do I look at all the blogs I am following? do I have to have a blog myself to do that?
    thank you again for the stamped images - they are being put to good use! what paper did you use to stamp them on - it is lovely and thick! I must buy some different paper as it makes such a difference.

    Hi bunbun i just stamped them on some white card i bought in a pack at my local wilkinsons . Not sure but i think if you don't have a blog you have to go click on them all seperately to check them. It's so much easier with a blog and .it is really easy to set up. rainmac said it was simple but i thought it couldn't be. Hardest part is choosing a name lol.
