    Rusty - those stamps look great - and such a bargain price!!!

    Furrypig - I've gone a bit bonkers on charms lately - I ordered loads from ebay a few days ago - I just hope I can get them to look good on my cards!!!

    I love charms on cards and hae put them on cards I have made in the past very tempting to get more!! Look forward to seeing what you do with them ! I want the teapots (or was it tea cups??!!) from that site!

    Hi Furry,

    They are all cooking related. One is just a sitting tilda but she would sit nicely on a pear or on the knife and fork. They are really cute.
    I am pondering if I could do stamped images and sell them on ebay to try and bring in a little bit of money. That Tricia Taddy would sell them for £5.50 + postage but I was thinking £5 with free postage and doing 3 or 4 of each design. I need to sit and work it all out tonight before I list the images. Hopefully I can raise some money for DS's bike for his birthday (I am half way there and still have to find money to pay for his party :rotfl:)

    Can I ask if anyone reads my blog to scroll further down as I have 3 posts on there from today but the one right furthest down is all of the lovely cards I recieved in the swap and also the beautiful things Rainmac sent to me.

    I have just updated my blog again ;) Sat and made 2 new cards which I think look really good .... I can't believe I am starting to make cards which I am happy with!!


    hahaha I am laughing now as went to quote this message and thought that's odd thought it said Ruth at the beginning but it says Furry must be going mad!! Then saw you had done a wee edit!!! Phew delayed the madness for a bit longer (or not as the case may be!!0

    Was actually quoting to say I think you should have a go at stamping and selling as they should sell like 'hot cakes' (get it??!!) as they are a new release and noone (except u and the chockster) will have them. Especially if it helps u fund fun stuff for DS. I need to get ebaying still not started and Jammy is going to set a new challenge soon (I think I might know who will excel at this one again ;) and it won't be me!!!:o)

    I haveread your blog and there are loads of fab things on it, great to see your cards and mojo returned too!! (My friends cat's called Mojo so always makes me giggle when people have found/lost it!!)

    Rusty, I love those Magnolia stamps and agree with Furry, would look fab on homemade bits and pieces for presents. Where did you get your girl from on your new cards on your blog? She is beautiful and your cards are stunning, I can't believe how different they look from each other in different colours.

    Choccy, thinking of you missus x

    Jammy, I have seen the Quickutz Silhoutte in a magazine and it looks fab!

    Craftygranny - lovely challenge card and the one for Maddison is very cute :T

    Myz - hope you're soon feeling better x

    Mrs Tidge - hope you have a good time camping :D

    Jailhousebabe - glad your exam is over, I agree with Rainmac - you deserve a treat now ;)

    Rusty - those stamps look lovely, I'm looking forward to seeing what you make - I think you should consider stamping and selling if the costs make it worth it. Fab cards too - the backing paper on the green one is amazing :D

    Lucy and cgcockcroft - welcome back :D

    Jammy - sorry I've only seen pics of the Quickutz. I'm looking forward to your next challenge as I need a bit of motivation again :D

    Choccy - hope today has gone well xx

    I think I'm packed now, fingers crossed the roads aren't too busy tomorrow (Oh look - did you just see that flying pig :rolleyes:). Hope everyone has a good weekend - see you in a week xx

    Nooo you are not going mad, I am forever doing it!! ... I don't know if people will mind or not, I keep editing posts where I have scrubbed out Rainmacs name, Choccys name and BunBuns!! ...

    As for Jammys challenge I hope it is an ebay one again ... My little Ebay empire has been doing so well :)

    Right I have stamped every image on a piece of card so I am about to list them now! ... fingers crossed! ....

    Rainmac the image on the 2 new cards is one of the gorjuss girls from funkykits! I secretely ordered them last week ;) I am in the process of doing you some new stamps so no buying as they are on the list :)
