    Thankyou for the lovely birthday card you sent for Thomas. :)

  • :o:o Oops! Marg, I hope you don't have to go too far to the post office as I sent the package recorded delivery as it was fat and would never have gone through your letter box, Sorry! :o:o
    :whistle: Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the ground each morning the devil says, "OH CARP, SHE'S UP"! :whistle:

  • :D Can you hear it? The sound of distant thunder, that's my tummy rumbling. When I first met OH he said to me one day that we would eat out while we were shopping. I turned around and he was gone. He came back with a bag of chips in his hand, it's never been forgotten. I've been blog hopping this morning and one of the the word verifications was 'betoxboz' Is someone trying to tell me something? :D

    Off I go for the rest of the hop, boing, boing, boing.

    OK, I may have to look into getting a cuttlebug now that I have seen those flourishes, dragonlew.

    Just had a quick look on the internet, and HandyHippo have a cuttlebug for £58 with free delivery. Is this good value, and has anyone ordered from here before? I am assuming that the machine does not come with any embossing folders or dies and that you need to buy these separately. Is this right?

    Thanks for any advice

    Marg - I know the challenge has finished, but is it to late to make some xmas cards for the forces - may get a chance to do some over the next couple of days if it isn't too late?

    Thanks

    :oGoes off to check the master list again - properly this time!:o
  • Marg - sorry I've not posted the cards yet; I promise I'll do it today! I've not managed to put them on my blog, but there's 5 in total. If I pop them in a 'flat' envelope, they should go through the letterbox, as I've kept the cards free from embellishments and foam tape.
    some people grin and bear it, others smile and do it :)

    Alot of us bought the cuttlebug from craft superstore , we got free delivery and theres a code to get i think 15 % off. Someone will post code for you as i always get it wrong :o.. It works out the cheapest, i believe :D

    With it you get 4 little embossing 'stamps' and 1 cutting die
