gemm we haven't put our tree up yet! hopefully it will fit on top of a chest of drawers and the kittens can't jump that high yet! it is now their mad half hour and they are charging round the house! bubble scared the life out of me the other day - she climbed up the chimney. she went so far she was out of sight:eek: I wasn't sure what she would do or how far she would go - after a few minutes she reappeared!

aww bet she was all covered in chimney yuck! probably figured out it didnt go anywhere lol. Ours used to get inside our recliners as there was a gap at the back, its amazing what tiny gaps they can get through!!

I'm sure your tree will be fine, ours havent bothered with it since the first few days, and I gave them their own bit of tinsel and a bauble to play with, which they love! Silver's great at football and spends ages dribbling the bauble around the downstairs

Gemm the card is lovely its like Bazzil but pearlised.

Made a few quick and easy Christmas cards today from poundland gift tags and 4 x4 cards I will take a photo in the morning to show you, don't like using the flash.

oooh flourgirl i have a pack of that but i haven't opened it yet . Bit wary of using new things.
Well my hubby decided as i couldn't decide what i wanted for xmas he'd buy me some new storage for the craft room so now everything i own is packed in boxes ready for my new desk and the new storage unit to go in . That should keep him busy. I do have some presents to open but he was moaning as i couldn't think of a single thing i really must have. I must be so sad.
Rusty your stash swap will be sorted asap but i have to open boxes to find things at the moment. I'll tell him to work faster.

What's happening at the range ? Been to both the Bradford and the Doncaster one in the last few days and they have hardly any stamps girl said they have given up selling most of them and will only be selling the ones that are part of collections like the LLB ones and the snowman and smirk and daisy and dandelion. The doncaster store had lots less stuff than they did . All the display racks for stamps and things have been removed.

aww no, I dont have a range nearby so don't get in one very often, used to love it when I got the chance to look round as they always had massive craft sections!

Ooh my crop-a-dile is on its way! I have a hammer and punch tool for eyelets and the boingy tool but both are so noisy! cant wait to get this.

I think I also want a bind it all (or cheaper alternativE) i know choccy gave me the name of her machine but i cant remember what it was

So here I am asking again - bind-it-all? what do i need to go with it and any ideas on the cheapest place? im not fussed about colour!

thanks :T:D

Jammy you'll love your croppy when you get it. You'll be eyeing everything up and thinking, "Hmm! That'll look better with a couple of eyelets!"
It's useful for making holes to thread ribbon & cord through too. Enjoy!
