I think you'd be better buying individual ones from Joanna Sheen or elsewhere, £1.69 a pen and free p&p. That way you can pick your own colours.

2 hours sleep :eek: You must be so tired, take care and put your feet up wherever possible xxx

Thank you Yeah the fibro is pretty bad at the moment, and the hospital are ignoring me because I'm 'too young' and they don't want to 'ruin my life'. He also refused to look at my joints...too much to deal with at the moment, though, I just don't have the energy!

The aim is to do some gentle crafting on the bed, and sleep whenever possible, I think. And try to keep up here, I love this thread but always seem to get lost in the convo xx

Gemm - you need to separate the Nellie SNellens with a craft knife. I didn't even realiseat first that you could use more that one at a time but that's how the lovely frames are made! I find they do need running thought the bug a few times, but I still love the effect every tume I use them.

Suacy - you must be exhausted! Gentle crafting in bed sounds like a great idea.
I've just done my Stampin Up order for my freebies -I'lll be hosting a workshop sson - if anyone is near enough to Swindon to come along you're welcome!

Sorry in advance for the huge post ladies!!!

Jailhousebabe - congrats on delivering your first lecture - what was it about???? Thanks for setting the challenge - I had completely forgotten about it!!

Thriftyscotslass - congrats on your weight loss - I'm meant to be dieting but I'm not doing very well!!

Flourgirl - so sorry to hear about your neice's husband - sending you and your family hugs!!!

Glittermum - welll done on making so much for the school - I bet you'll raise loads of money with it all. I am jealous - I so want to go to a stampin' up party!!!!

Ali - beautiful mother's day card - the punched flowers look so pretty.

PepPop - thanks for those links - I love the candy card - what a fab idea - I might have to steal that - I'm waiting for a stamp of a gumball machine to be delivered!

Marg - I'll definately record that show - it sounds fab - just my sort of thing!!

Rusty - your scrapbook pages are gorgeous - well done on getting your freebies!!!! I love your new school pages - those shoe papers are great!!!

Saucy - I have no idea what stacking squares are!!!! Sorry to hear that you had a bad night. The promarkers pack is okay value - the cheapest that I've found promarkers for is £1.50 each - the wallet is normally about £8-£9 and the paper pad is about £5 - I've never tried it myself though. As Rainmac says though it might be better to order them individually so that you can choose the colours yourself!


Mad-Frog - I'm so glad that you like your papers -wait 'til you start using them!!!

Lou05 - sorry to hear about your little ones - hope they both recover soon!!!!

Mary - sorry to hear about your friend!!!

Tired Mom - hi and welcome to the thread!

Hi everyone, just popped on after getting home from a bowling party - parties are so stressful (and it wasnt even mine!!) kids running around everywhere!! Is it too early for a glass of wine??
anyway:
jhb - your blog looks lovely
flourgirl -my thoughts are with your family - keeping everything crossed x
rusty - lovely scrap book pages.
Hope all those that are having lousy nights sleep have a better one tonight, and all poorlies are feeling better very soon.

I have started on some little cross stitch pics - trying to get organised for easter - got one finished, going to start another one tonight. Hope rainmac doesnt mind me pinching her idea from last year!!

Morning everyone
Got a total of 2 hours sleep last night, so am feeling shattered.
Flourgirl, big hugs for you. I hope things look up soon...

I'm still looking for promarkers, and wondered if this was worth the money?

I'd appreciate opinions! Thanks x

saucy my boy got that set from Joanna Sheens own site, no postage to pay and she's usually very quick. No. 2 son got some from a company he knows called Cowling & Wilcox, he got me some of the new colours out. He says watch the price 'cos it can be ex. vat but good prices.

Can anyone please tell me where jhb's blog is, please. I'd love to have a look.

Seems like last night was a sleepless one for a few of us, hope tonight is better. If only George Clooney could do that! Hhmm!

Lou05

Just a very quick one ... not read back yet, managed to get on the docrafts site (prob a bad thing!) can anyone recommend any bits and piece and also ... whats paper frills?!?! lol!

Lyndach

quickly sneaking on to say hi before I have to go be a good girl and make cakes to say sorry to OH!
I did a bit of ebay shopping last night (couldn't sleep again) and saw 10 twining everyday individually wrapped tea bags for 3.99 free P&P and thought why not, I'll make some presents for the family. Then OH came storming in the room earlier asking why I bought 1000 tea bags for 39.99! I'm in so much trouble lol!
