    Glad to see you back saveapenny - hope this is the start of the end so to speak.

    Hels that sounds a bit nasty make sure you look after yourself.

    I'm not at all bruised strangely enough must have been the chocolate fix I had to sort me out :rotfl: Talking of which - I have a date with a bag of giant buttons that I got when I went to the post office with Rusty's pocket card.

    Have a great evening and hugs to anyone who needs them
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p

    A lightbulb moment this morning at 4am. Can't sleep 'cos the piggin' seagulls are about and what looked like a couple stoaty type weasels were having a scrap right out side. Anyway, I printed a sentiment for a card I've just made for my sister. I noticed that the ink was still quite wet, so I sprinkled over some embossing powder, used the heat gun and it looked good enough to use. I'll keep you updated with anything else I do 'cos it opens up possibilities of using this method for gold print. I'm sure I've read about this somewhere but it's gone. Memory, what memory?

    "Matron, who am I today?????"
