Lots of us are going to the NEC to look, drool and buy a few bits Most of us haven't met each other (only know each other from this forum) so it will be fun meeting up! We are going on the Friday, do you fancy coming along with us nutters???

:rotfl:@ nutters. Rainmac you were a sensible one. Think i qualify as March trip loonie :rotfl:. I do blame the tablets though . Dont forget posties are on strike, might be best leaving stuff until Monday to post. Safer with you than in a warehouse somewhere

helping_hubby We are all ok honest. Our first meeting was 6 of us at the NEC back in March. It was such a giggle and there was sooo much drooling and stroking of papers. It was fantastic to be able to share a fun day with like minded people.

Rusty Did you buy the little tins also ? I bought the ones off ebay and they seem just about the right size. I did look at ones on Sarahs cards but after grabbing my metal ruler i thought they looked too small. Glad to hear you have new stash to play with a couple of my orders arrived also. Did you see i was naughty and ordered the stamps ?

Gemm Glad you have a good break and that your card and choccy was waiting for you

I think the same, but amazingly you always seem to find stuff which is fine to send

I did buy buy the tin full of tins, but they are dead small and completely pointless! Mine is in such bad condition dents in the casing, chunks missing out of the tins and then scratches all over, and also very dark marks on the metal inside the outer tin casing I need to get in touch with them about it as I really am not happy about it! I have new stash and I am going to sit with my promarkers and colour in the 3 images which I have just stamped
What else have you ordered?? I did see the order for stamps hope they are as fabby as last time!

Another bear on my blog (think I'm getting obsessed).
My Friend card from CT arrived today it's absolutely lovely really cheered me up.

Posted your ATC today Melissa - not sure when you'll get it though . Asked DD to do it on her way to school in exchange for a lift as it was raining (post box is about 10 yards from school gate) but she threw a wobbly and went out the house - I picked up my bag and locked the door expecting to see her in the car and she had disappeared!!!!!! Shouted her with no reply got in the car and passed her half way up the road walking to school with 2 friends - screeched to a halt wound the window down and screeched at her about running off and not telling me where she was going - result one very embarrassed 9 year old :rotfl::rotfl:.

Promarker addicts look away - offer on 4 new sets here - shopping elves available for anyone who needs them I've ordered mine plus the xmas set - It's my treat for not coming to the NEC

Has anyone ever bought little labels to put on the back of their cards from ebay - 'handmade by......' type ones? I think I NEED some but my printer is garbage so I don;t think it would cope with stickers given that it throws a fit if I even dare to suggest printing a digital stamp on a piece of A4.
Rainmac, I think there was one on something you sent me recently. Did you make them yourself?
