Does anyone know if the Sizzix Texture Plates are bigger then the cuttlebug embossing ones

PepPop

rainmac - what is Alice cake? (although maybe I should think of my diet and stay ignorant)

dragonllew I hope Rhys is feeling better today.

Jailhouse count me in with your challenge. what do I do?

Rusty I hope you have a nice peaceful day today. You sound like you need one. Hugs

Marg

PepPop - I know you asked Rainmac but if you go to the baking thread on CraftyPlace the recipe is one that flourgirl put on there. It's absolutely delicious!

Ironing! Whereabouts are you girls, I'd be happy to make a crater in your pile, I'm at that stage with the steroids where I'm watching OH take his work clothes off, into the machine overnight, dried, ironed and sitting on his dresser waiting to go away. All for piece of Alice cake, done deal, I'm cheap. I'm daft, there's a local woman here who has a cracking business out here in the backwaters, should I apply for a job, earn a bit extra. My friend at work is coming round tonight and she's got the MS punches from QVC, yippee!

minted lamb casserole :drool: I know what I'm going to making on Saturday!
Rusty poor DD hope she's better soon! Hope you manage some quiet time.
Rainmac Your boys have sense to stay in their pj's sometimes im in mine for days! (I must add that I do have a bath and get house work done, I just prefer comfy lounge clothes lol)
dragonllew I hope Rhys is better soon, that must of been so scary for you.
Someone say challenge?! oo me :T:p
I must try getting some sleep, everyone told me when you have a baby you sleep when they sleep, yeah right who does the washing and tidying?! I'm never good at time management anyway.

Can't tell you that, but the Texturz Plates measure 19cm x 15 cm if that's any help.

Wanna-b-rich I really want most of the stuff on Docrafts sale but can't justify paying an extra £5 for postage! lol

I know how you feel. A friend of mine has gone 1/2's with the P&P and I think our order will be quite heavy, as we ordered the back issues of the mags and she ordered 2 sets of the wooden stamps reduced to £4.99. It's really sucky that I've spent nearly £10 on P&P charges over the past 24 hours - think of all that lovely stash I could've bought!

DH rang earlier and said British Bookshops have a clearance sale on and did I want any of the following:

Set of 6 Heat it up embossing powders £3.50
Papermania Purple Storage Trolley £9.99
Papermania Black/pink Satchel £4.99
3 Forever Friends Stamps £3.50
Dandelion & Daisy Christmas Stamps £4.50

Have to say I really wanted all of the stuff but declined and confessed to my little spree. He agreed to get the embossing powders though as I get through loads of them. I might have to pay a sneaky visit to our local one and see what they have available:D

Sorry to all of you with poorly little ones. I'm reading backwards, so if I miss anyone apologies. Will catch up with blogs later - I think I'm following everyone on this thread, but if I'm not, please send me a pm and I will rectify that.

PS Ignoring the cake and food posts as trying really hard to lose weight and once I get the vision well..........:rotfl:
