Rusty are all the images on your secret website scanned in? If so, I brought some stamped Tilda images of eBay that I could scan to be added?

Good Morning Everyone

It is raining again, which only means one thing - a non guilt Craft Day :j

She grinch - your 18th card is fab

Dragonllew - glad you had a good holiday - I can hear your washing machine from here :rotfl:

Saveapenny - hope you feel better soon x

Paddingtondoo - I'm speechless - the bits on your blog are stunning ! The sweetheart ATC is wonderful, I have to admit though that I still don't quite get what an ATC is Your Mackintosh Fat Pages are beautiful, your MIL will love them

I started making my MSE Challenge card last night but it went a bit wrong so I will finish it off and try the challenge again. This is the first time I have followed a sketch and felt a little bit out of my comfort zone. I love the way these challenges make you try new things.

I have also started to comment on blogs and will hopefully finish that task later.

This is my last week of "freedom" as my husband is home from Afghanistan next Saturday and will take over the remote control and computer :rotfl:

npsmama you mustn't put your cards down as they are abdsolutely beautiful. I think the idea of a card box for someones birthday/xmas/other occassion is a great idea, they will certainly get used!

I am quite lucky as my mum takes load of cards into her work for me and is always coming back with orders for a specific style of card or an age one, she also buys loads off me herself, I had to tell her off recently as she asked for one to send to someone that she wouldn't normally send to! and when I thought it was strange and asked her about it she just said well I thought it would help you out...bless!! I don't want her bankrupting herself sending cards that she wouldnt normally!!

saveapenny so sorry to hear you're feeling bad again, get lots of rest and don't worry about us till you're feeling much better

paddington lovely stuff you've added to your blog, love the Mackintosh style. I've got a cross stitch UFO of a mackintosh stained glass window which I MUST get round to continuing with...! I must also ask...what is a fat page?

Emma I think you need your own laptop so hubby can't keep stealing the internet off you!!!

Saveapenny, sending you lots of get better quick wishes x

Dragonllew, welcome back, glad you had a great time. We go away soon and I am already dreading the washing when we get back!!!

Emma, I bet you're very excited at your OH coming home. Mine went away for work for a couple of weeks and being able to watch what I wanted on the TV every night was lovely x

Paddington, wow your blog is full of beautiful stuff, you are so talented

I've made my ATC for the CP swap, I really enjoyed making it last night and think I will be making more!

It's chucking it down with rain here but I have 2 weeks of ironing to do today, I may be some time

Advice Needed

I recently won some crafting items in a competition (total £50). But some of the items I would not use (eg i dont emboss), so I was thinking what would be the best way to sell them?

On Ebay?
I do not want to start the bid at 0.99p incase thats all it sells for but Im afraid to put a higher starting bid incase it doesnt sell and im left with several ebay fees [which has happened recently].

I will list below what items I have [with links]
any suggestions would be appreciated [ie is it best to "group" items, starting £ , when to list etc].

I would like to give anyone on here first refusal on any of the items(Im sure that there is a gift payment option on paypal)- I hope you dont find this suggestion cheeky (ahhhh!)

Items

• 2 X Blonde Moments Embossing Powder - Met silver £3.95 - Savory Tropic £3.95
• 1 X Colour Box Queue Pigment Ink -Basic £7.99
