The fairies are gorgeous, I love them. They look so professional!

Where did you get your box maker from? Was it expensive? I've been looking at them for a while but it looks confusing!

Thanks for your help

Sunrise they are fabulous. Well Done

Rusty I bought some Glue Dots from Glitterpot last week they are called Stick it excel I got the 6mm (small) ones they are great for sticking flowers on but are a bit big for gems. I have also used the Stix ones from Craftsuperstore (sale)
sorry dont know the size but they were tiny, perfect for gems and small bows.

Dont forget Pollycraft sale ends at midnight. They have Promarkers for £1.75 but with 25%off. p&p is 75p so if you want a few you will still save money.

Thank you so much! I'll invest, I think. I'd love to be able to make some Do you just use normal cardstock, or will I need something special?

Thanks again

I wanted to add a photo of a card I'd made with the pig tails I got this morning but I don't think I'm allowed
Is it because I'm a newbie ?

Thanks Flourgirl - The ones I have just finished are the large stick it excel ones (12mm) but I couldn't remember how much I paid for them, but it seems they are around £1.99 so I probably paid that from boundary mill. Seems expensive if you see that you can get lots more for a similar price but think I will just stick to these ones!

Oh no!! ... I sat and added all the new colours I don't yet have and the price including discount came to £33 ... so I closed the window!! I daren't spend that much on pens even at that cheap price!! ... I might look again later on and just order 10 or so :rotfl:

:hello: Evening all!!
Am back unfortunately - would like to tell you it was awful and freezing but I don't tell lies :rotfl::rotfl:.

Am deffo a brown bear now - think burnt sienna but am having trouble typing coz my nails grew while I was away and I paid the vast sum of £3 to have a manicure on the beach before we came home.

Sorry I haven't managed to catch up on all the 50 odd pages that I've missed. Is there a challenge at the mo? Something that I can combine with loads of washing would be good :p.

Will put some pics on my blog when I've found the camera lead - including some of me and DD on an elephant - he's the one with the tail if I post a back view :rotfl::rotfl:
