Afternoon Ladies,
Just having a quick catch up while DS has a nap! Thank you all so much for your comments on my creations, it does mean alot to me, so thank you!
I'm off to have a catch up on the blogs.
Awh while I remember could someone possibly give me the list I need to include for the stashswap I still haven't sent mine yet:o and I can't get on to crafty place to see what I need to send!
And also can someone confirm how many lots of £2.50's in vouchers do I need to give for the NEC?? Thanks xx

And I'm also looking for the cheapest place for some 12x12 card for my pryamid, called to hobbycraft yesterday and refused to £1.29 a sheet!

Please don't worry Hels as I have been so busy and not sent mine to you yet or any of my other swops sorry everyone:o

I am going to do some catching up but wanted to apologise to Marg and Paddingtondoo as I've just found your parcels and had completley forgotten about. I will pop them in the post tomorrow I promise!! Sorry sorry sorry!

I assume you meant that I'm gorgeous The Wife - :rotfl::rotfl:.

Don't worry sales admin - so long as it's not lost in the psot I don't mind at all .

Has anyone seen any cuttlebug B plates cheap anywhere? - my cutting one is just about ready to give up the ghost and is almost U shaped

Still nothing made at Padster towers - work is soooooooo inconvenient :rolleyes:

I was thinking about replacing my B plates soon too, the one I use for cutting looks atrocious!!!

found some here at card craft uk for £6.95, free P&P! seems like a bargain, most other places they are £7.50 plus postage!

Hi all, been blog hopping beautiful things on all - well done :T
Craftygranny - ooh that cake - would def. rather have one of those than a sponge cake :rotfl:
JHB - sorry cant take part in your survey - didnt go to uni (which explains a lot:rolleyes:)
Mary - big hug to you!
Rainmac - ooh snap I too have ordered an xcut guill the 12" one (as have heard size matters;)) Sounds like you have had a great shop!!! I think the elves are around here as well, at hobbycraft getting a couple of bits the other night, thinking of ordering more pro-markers, seen some lovely stamped images on ebay I am watching and also watching a fiskars shapeboss does anyone have any experience of these? Just thinking as an alternative without going to the expense of a cuttlebug/sizzix, until have been doing card making at bit longer?:rolleyes:

Ali pop a note up the chimney and ask Santy Claus for a Cuttlebug for Christmas.
I couldn't get on with the Fiskars Shapeboss but that is me personally. I had seen the Spellbinders Wizard and fell in love with what it can do and nothing seemed to match it and the dies and nesties are to die for. But, there are loads and loads of different nesting dies that are now on the market for the different machines. If you do find that it becomes a waste as far as you are concerned, you will always find someone that will pay a reasonable price for it. Beware, it can become an addiction.

Ali, I bought a shapeboss when I first started and found it quite a waste of money, I only used it a handful of times and wish I'd saved the money now!!

The Wife & Gemm thanks for the advice - I think I will give that fiskars thing a miss. I think I would be wasting my money when I could ask santa for a cuttlebug or sizzix - but honestly I cant make a decision to save my life:rolleyes: Just when I think I'll leave it the little thoughts start at the back of my head again - talking to me telling me to order one as well as stamps, promarkers and other little lovely things!! :rotfl:
