DTB your welcome it's been lurking in a box on the shelves for ages it's about time it was used. It is very sparkly though.

I'm going to try and find enough time to do my swaps this weekend and stamp some images i've promised. Then on monday i have 4 cakes to do lol. Oh and the blog candy draw on monday too.

Are these shows any good ? There is one in doncaster at beg of dec just wondered if it would be worth going .

i think it's ok, it's not massive but it's worth a look if you are free, they do have some good offers on sometimes. also little claire was at the hull one and i love their stamps!

have just emailed craftwork cards as I have tried to place an order this morning and although I can now log in OK, the free P&P still isn't working!

will let you all know if I hear anything back!!

was hoping to get some crafting done today but I was opening a tub of pringles just before lunch and have managed to rip my thumbnail off right below the quick :eek: I nearly fainted as it was pouring with blood and hanging off by a thread, I had to rip it off as it was sticking sharply into my skin but now it's all red and oozing and I can't bear to have anything touch it, let alone pinch anything! glad it's my left hand so I can still use my mouse, oh well, just have to do lots of online shopping to keep me occupied lol, maybe I can persuade OH I can't do the litter tray either....

Craftygranny my ATG came this morning Whoo Hoo I love it. Its a bit bulky and I'm a bit clumsy with it but with practice I can see it will be the best thing and save so much time.

Help me - I'm very close to buying some of those alphabet sizzlets and I don't even have a die cutting machine! I think I'm definitely going to ask for one for Birthday (feb)....so I think I should buy these alphabet dies now as that's the main reason I want one...and they seem such a good deal. Even on ebay they are selling for much more.

Ohhh Gemma I went all funny reading that - I partly ripped mine yesterday and thought that was bad :eek:.
Seriously though - you can't do the litter tray specially if your kitties haven't had their jabs yet - there's all sorts of nasty stuff in cat wee. Plus if you should touch it it will sting like ***********

HH they often have the offers on the alphabets plus last year they had a fantastic sale over xmas when they shut down for 2 weeks - large original dies for £2.50

Thank you will have a word with DD see if she's up for an outing lol.

Flourgirl they do seem huge and awkward but you soon get used to them it makes everything so much quicker . I ran off the edge a few times to start with but now i've got more used to it it's great. Fab for the ribbons on the nappy and pamper cakes too.
