I just hit lucky with a sale I think as I can't find anywhere with reductions at the moment. Can't even remember where I got it from but it was about a fiver - they did only have 1 left when I got mine as I tried to get 2 but they only had 1 in stock.

I'd seen a cuttlebug advertised and I thought it might be for that....DOH!!!:o I'm going to have a mooch for them now

Most of us ordered our Cuttlebug's from http://www.craftsuperstore.co.uk/ for £46 using a 15% off discount code (if it still works!). Alphabets can be quite expensive though but if you check out the Quickutz alphabets at http://www.craftsulove.co.uk/revolution_alphabets.htm they have some cheap in their sale... x

Just posted my Christmas card over on CP and some other misc cards on my blog.

Glad U2 went well Rainmac. I'm going on Thursday and am really quite excited as much because the gig is in Sheffield so I don't have to travel too far which is a novelty. Last time we saw them was at Manchester and we didn't get in till 3am! Were you seated or standing? We're in the cheap seats behind the revolving stage.

We were standing and got there early-ish so we were about 10 metres from the front of the stage. They all move about quite a bit so you'll get so see loads of them, at one point Larry's drumkit got turned round so he faced the people sitting behind the stage. We drove to Wembley and got stuck in loads of traffic trying to leave but it was nothing like the queues at the tube station

Rainmac glad you had a fab weekend and sold so much at your craft fair.
Saveapenny well done on all those nappy cake orders.
Hels lovely invites saveapenny did a fab job.
have posted my entry for the christmas card challenge over on craftplace and on my blog here also made my atc and trifold card yesterday but not happy with either of them will have to leave them to stand on my desk and see if I can think what else to add to them.

Your snowmen card is gorgeous. I made my ATC this morning and I'm not sure about mine, it's quite different from what I've made before.

Lei - can the Quickutz be used in the cuttlebug? I like the look of the lemonade one.....

You were very brave to stand - I have a fear of being crushed (I had a traumatic experience as a teenager) so we're sticking with the seats. I'm thinking of walking tbh - its only a couple of miles and there'sll be 3 or 4 of us walking together.
Glad you enjoyed it!
