Sal sorry to hear your craft fair didn't do as well as you hoped for.

Fabulous cards being made by everyone. Well Done to you all xx

I have been writing my Christmas cards today and making some wallets for money and a few tags with the label nesties for my DIL's bags of cookies. I think I am just about getting the hang of the ATG gun, it so much quicker than DST, I think it will be my new best friend (how sad am I .... not don't answer that one!

Rusty we have just had a gorgeous chicken dinner and a piece of that chocolate cake would go down a treat, it looks divine.

Just a quick hello from me! I'm cooking dinner and am just about worn out with vistors - had an overdose of Peppa Pig plus lots & lots of 3yr old jumping off my sofa scaring me in case he hurt himself.

Sorry your fair wasn't more rewarding Sal - it's cold at Halifax in summer so I bet you were frozen!

Thanks for colouring info Rusty

Flourgirl - Is an ATG gun a big electric version of those DST (mouse like) dispensers? My last one ran out so fast I'm back to the old peel off rolls. Think I need one in preference to a scorepal at the moment;)

New card on my blog.
Was going to make DD's xmas card as well but had to pick her up from the party she was at before I finished it so had to hide all the bits and clean the stamp I'd used before she spotted it :rotfl:.
OH is off work next week - wish me luck coz he's decided to finish the kitchen floor and decorate the utility room - trouble is he always needs a gopher and I'm working .

What cute !!!!! tats bunbun - I can see how they could be little furry monsters though

Marg the ATG gun isn't electric but it is a giant version of a DST mouse. It is quite big and cumbersome but its plastic so not heavy. Its clean to use, no bits of tape backing, it all rolls back onto a spool. Have a look at this

we've had a couple of big wedding invitation orders and also just done a big 21st birthday invitation, for the wedding invitations I bought a big box to present it in but we recently bought a box maker ( crafters companion ) so this week I made a box to put the place cards in that we delivered and decorated it in the same colours as the place cards ( forgot to take a photo though !! )
this week the 21st invitations are being collected so I've made this box , does it look ok ???

Not card related, but does anyone know where I can get one of these from but one that has 6 hooks on for 6 stockings, either on the net or from a shop.

Thanks
