sunrise I can see in these pics that you have those trays that clip onto the legs of those tables, where did you get them from as I'd love some to put onto mine, you can never have enough craft storage :rotfl:

we got them from IKEA ?? think they were about £3 each if I remember rightly

Mary - congratulations on nearly finishing everything!!!!!

Ct19720 - love your "jingle beans" - those jars are so cute, and your cookies look delicious! Your baby cards are gorgeous!

Twinkles08 - my computer is bust so I am useless when it comes to cd roms, but i would say definately try and get one from ebay - its probably the cheapest place. Maybe you could get her some good quality card and paper to go with it.

Flourgirl - great santa treats, your "trio of mints" are beautiful.

Craftygranny - sorry I tried adding the blinkie to my blog, but I couldn't find out how to do it - even with jamtart's instructions!!!!

Lei-Armstrong - thanks for the youtube link!

Paddingtondoo - absoloutely gorgeous cards, my favourite is your "make a wish one" I wondered whether your fat page had turned up yet!

Dragonflew - your Autumn card is so pretty - the sanding is so effective. Great xmas cards too!

Rainmac - congratulations on your win - can't wait to see what you make with it all!!!

Whoopidoo - thanks for the link - I've entered the competition - I love the stamps on that site.

Princesswoo - your cards are fabulous - I'm amazed that they're your first attempt!!!

Polly - sorry you've been having computer troubles - your snowflakes card is lovely - the colours are gorgeous! Congratulations on your win - what's your prize????

Mrs. Tidge - lovely challenge card!

Nannyboo - unfortunately my house is too small for a craft corner, let alone a craft room , mine is bunged in drawers and cupboards.

Jem1276 - welcome - I'm glad you're no longer lurking!!!

Here's the cheapest place I think on the web for single promarkers - 1.50 each,
craft obsessions (sorry deleted link as it takes you through to my shopping basket!!!!)]
postage isn't too bad - 1.50 up to 10 quid spend, and free if you spend over 40.01.
If you only want a few its better to spend at joanna sheen or secret crafter for their free postage, but there's a fair bit in craft obsessions "specials".

Also surprisingly amazon have some promarker packs:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=promarker&x=9&y=23
11.70 for a set of 10,

Also craft obsessions have some nice nesties for 14 quid.

I sometimes have the same problem, i thought it was just the way i was using it. I've only had it 2 weeks as well. Like yours it's about 5mm out at one end.

And i only bought it cos you lot said it was the best one for cutting perfect. :rotfl:

Louby-lou-lou: I got my x-cut gullotine from the craft superstore, its still on offer:

Fantastic delivery too, i placed an order yesterday and it was here delivered morning.

Thanks for that i am very tempted to get it, i think my mil's one is smaller than that and is the kind you bring the handle down to cut. She says she uses it every day that's why i couldn't borrow it, what! is she taking it on hol:rolleyes: Do you think things will be any cheaper at the NEC? I am thinking on any excuse that i need to come lol
Taking DS out all day today as it's half term here and he is getting fed up.

I think they are called peel off's.

I have added todays craft to my blog, my son helped me make them and will be thrilled to see your comments as it would make his day, he is going through a phase of needing loads of compliments to encourage him, but he is now a cuttlebug addict.

Have done :T
