    Welcome back plm
    ***waves at any new people***

    Warning this is maybe not a no spend link - depending on will power and whether credit card is in the freezer :rotfl:.
    I've found a great stamped image seller on eBay - paid teatime Monday arrived today and they're on lovely big pieces of nestie friendly card and they're all cut the same size as well! (can you tell I'm pleased)

    Just need my oval and scalloped circle nesties to arrive now :o

    *** off to refreeze credit card whilst crossing fingers OH isn't working from home for the rest of the week***
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p

    forgot to say mumhug - if you have a look down the sidebar of my blog there are a load of challenge blogs listed that you could hop round and get some inspiration. I must get round to updating it some time soon.

    Also why not join in the next stash swap on crafty place - it makes you dig through what you have (I found some xmas stuff that I don't even remember buying :o) and you get some new bits to play with

    Craftygranny I'm so glad the card arrived, I've shown Joshua the picture he's thrilled to see it on the pc! He did pick the pink paper and he helped me colour in the image and I shouldn't really tell you this but he loves using my paper cutter so he helped with that aswell! He also glued the paper and image!
    PLM you are so right about the long lashes!! So many people comment on joshua's!
    Melissa I'm going to try and use a cd case this evening I really don't fancy using it mind but I'm to inpatient and want to stamp!
    Rainmac of course you can come and be an elf!!!
    Paddingtondoo thanks for the link, some lovely images on there.

    Hels - was it the snowflake embossing that you bought? If so I've got the folder and can do some for you anytime - same goes for anyone else. I have to say it looks lovely! ALso - your winter wedding sounds wonderful - I've always hankered after a red velvet hooded cloak...
