Giggle - more great teabag cards - those penguins are cute!!!

Polly - thanks for letting us know about the new ccc challenge - I'll have to get my thinking cap on - now where did I put it????? As always your card is gorgeous - I really love all the gold touches.

Hels - your OH sounds like my Dad - if I ever asked him for anything he used to say that he'd go and shake the money tree, trouble is I know in a few years time I'll be saying it to my kids!!!

Vikki_Louise - thanks for the info, I've been thinking of sending something off to postpals for a while, maybe a mini scrapbook or something.

Rainmac - fabulous stitched card and xmas card, your images are fab - and I love your kraft paper - I have never seen this before!!!

Mumhug - maybe in a few months time you'll feel like crafting again. I went off card making for a few months, but then I came back to it. You could try selling on UKscrappers at least that way you wont have to pay any fees (only paypal) unlike on ebay.

Didn't know hobbycraft sold tea bags :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Well i searched hobbycraft and didn't find any tea bags or even t bag papers lol.

Oh dear i did find 4 packs of promarkers for my nearly dil , 2 sets of stamps for me and a black inkpad and a border punch .

princess k got a little miss card kit, a bright yellow ink pad as she really needs one ,lets make cards which is peter rabbit themed, a wooden monkey for her uncle david's card ,some dome stickers, n chocolate buttons lol.

oh and my o/h treated me to a a3 size guillotine so i can cut my scrapboard card and paper straight. It was half price though. Think he hopes i'll actually start my scrapbook now.

Still no t bags princess k threw a wobbler :eek:and refused to go in that shop so i'll have to try again tomorrow. she was tired and grumpy

Dawnteabag you been following me lol i did go to the sheffield one might try the leeds one later looking for more promarkers for my dil.

Hi all , I havent been able to get in making any cards for a while, I also havent had any sucess in selling for ages. Anyway long story short I am considering elling everything I have pens, stamps ,bug ,folders ,card, papers embossing stuff ..........blimey I really do have alot. What i was wondering is if I do decide to pack it in where would yo suggest I try to sell it.

Mumhug don't do it you'll regret it. I sold all my stuff 4 years ago when kaitlyn was born and came to live with me as i had no time and no mojo it's heartbreaking when i think of all i got rid of . I had nearly every sizzix die available at that time and boy do i miss them now. I wish i'd listened to people who told me to hang onto it to see if things changed. less than 12 months later i was starting out all over again. Now i'm like a magpie :rotfl::rotfl:i put all mine on ebay but things were selling well on there then.

Sadly not - I was at work (shh don't tell the boss!) but when I read that about Aldi I thought - "now theres a good excuse to nip into Hobbycraft"
