I just managed to delete my post -aahhhh!

Rainmac - your altered container is gorgeous and so are the matching bits. What paper pads did you get?

Stardrops - beautiful card - the poem is fab! love the little teapot.

Paddingtondoo - your xmas bits arrived today - thank you so much - it was really kind of you. I promise I'll send you something back - it might take me a while though!

You're welcome Melissa - it's nice to make a bit of space - why did I ever buy pads that had 5 or so of the same design No hurry I still haven't found the way to the bottom of Rainmac's stash swap yet!

I ordered some coasters today both round and square ones - maybe I can manage a no spend day tomorrow - my charms arrived today so used them to dangle from my mum's scrapbook (technical eh? :rotfl:).

Have made the box and 5 cards today - still have loads to do - now off to see if I can find enough light to take some pics so I can update my blog .

Oap & Rainmac Thank you! your beautiful cards arrived safely today -

Thank you rainmac for the images to colour - I only hope I can do them justice!

I've got a small collection of ciao markers which seem to work OK but I'm wondering if I've made the wrong choice and should have had promarkers instead. Has anyone experience of both & can tell me the difference? Can they be used together??

The wife - Thank you for your lovely water lily in it's box & images to colour. The water lily is so amazingly delicate - I'll post a picture later for everyone to see. I've posted mine for you today - don't build your hopes up though!

Sizzix alphabets £15.90 this week here - P&P is £5 :eek: but still very cheap for the 35 die sets especially if you buy 2

I know I love those stamps, aren't they gorgeous, I had a quick google and found the stamps for £5.99 each so with a bit more digging could probably find them cheaper

So sorry to hear you have whiplash, not what you need now is it :rolleyes: Hope the new painkillers start kicking in and help take some of that nasty pain away for you.

I have made an altered container for the challenge on the C.R.A.F.T challenge blog, what do you think... http://rainmacsplace.blogspot.com/2009/09/craft-challenge-15-anything-except-card.html. I have started making my container for Rusty's challenge over on CP too.

I received a package of 3 paper pads today for having a card appear in Papercraft Inspirations a couple of months ago :T. So, well worth submitting pics of cards and other stuff as you may get something back

absolutely love the tin, your friends and family must really look forward to getting presents from you
