Mrs Tidge . Thank you .oooh i love your alphabet .

popkins all the labels are lovely i think lol . i only own one set so far though so i couldn't say which is best.

Rainmac Thank you but i was worried about posting as some people don't like to read such things and it's not card making related.
Those test tubes of sweets look great i love the halloween ones. Do the tubes have lids or did you have to make the lids

I bought plastic tubes from ebay and they came with plastic stopper lids, I added some ribbon to it as they look a but boring

It is card making related in that if you decide to sell cards, we can provide loads to you xxx

Yaaayyy Jammy, Basic Grey is the best!!! Mel75 is probably the best person to answer your question as she is very savy as to the best bargains These places are well worth a look but it depends on what you are looking for, single sheets or sets and 12x12 or 6x6...

My round tins from Sarah's Cards arrived today and they are blinking tiny :rolleyes:, I can get 18 tic tacs in one so the 3 bags of Cadbury's Snowballs I bought for the tins this morning are going to be going in my mouth instead

Popkins I have labels number 4 and the largest one is just big enough for making labels for small A5 card bags. I dont mind cutting a set and posting them to you if it will help. You will be able to see all the sizes for that set and decide if the are what you need.

Hiya flourgirl - I tink you sent me some before didn't you? so I know I like no4 so maybe I'll order that one then! no need to send me more then but thank you so much for the kind offer!!

Anyone know where i can get huge envelopes from? I think i have asked this before and the only thing we came up with was A$ postal white and brown ones. They may have to do but just checking incase anyone seen any. The card with me A4 once folded. They are for xmas cards for family and wanted them to be a bit nicer than postal envelopes. I prob will end up getting white ones tho and sprucing them up a bit.

I just had a meeting at a shop to see if they would stock my nappy cakes
well they don't want to I was so embarrased. The assistant loved them but the owner wasn't so keen. The assistant asked me for some business cards but the owner looked at them and handed them me back :o I swear i went bright red. I managed to leave some little post cards with photos on with the assistant but i don't know if they will get displayed

I am currently making my way through a packet of biscuits to cheer me up, any excuse lol

How did I miss this bargain, ooohhh I must not buy, I must not buy...

Yep! What one person loves another hates, its just the nature of the world and what makes us all different! Get back on that bike and ask elsewhere, the owner of the shop will be gutted when somewhere else is doing a roaring trade
