I'm off to go play with my new promarkers now and watch some tv. I have been and will be blog hopping and leaving comments as I go.

Kim_Possible - I haven't got any instructions for my "stupid box" that I can link to. Its basically just 6 coasters that I've decorated with patterned paper and card front and back. Then I've punched the slits with my bind-it-all machine, if you haven't got one I suppose you could punch some holes instead. Then basically the coasters are just tied together with bits of ribbon. Its really quite simple - I just found it annoying because I'd under estimated how much ribbon I needed, so I kept having to start again. Does this help at all?????? If anyone ever wants anything punching/binding with my bind it all - I'd be happy to do it, just post me your bits. Its better to stick your paper to it first before you punch it - else you end up with gaps.

Well my mil saw mine and said umm yes i guess they are the kind of things a child may buy for a little cheap gift for their parents. What are you selling them for 50p:eek: I know i am not the best at all this and she is an artist but i didn't think they were that bad. I was going to give them one from ds for xmas but i don't think i will bother now as she didn't really like them.

Can someone pm me craftygrannys addy please i did have it but seem to have lost it. I have a few bits for her.
