seriously - anyone want to buy a snot green cuttlebug...? :rolleyes:

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Make that two, mine's slightly used, less than a month old, only cut with Nesties about 3 or 4 times so plates aren't too marked :rotfl: .

What's the betting I got back in touch, say "Can I have another pink one please" and they say "Certainly TomsMom, that will be £69.95 please" :rotfl: .

Thanks Myz. thats stopped me placing an order. When I order something I usually want it yesterday!!

I've only ever ordered from them once and I guess the loooong delivery time was what made me not place an order with them though... maybe other people will say they got theirs superfast?

Has anyone got their ribbon bags from Crafty Ribbons and been dissapointed?

The £1 ones that were £5?

I was really excited about mine but I didn't pay postage and thought they were lovely- however I haven't bought any of them before so maybe they are usually a lot better I wouldn't know?

I wasn't disappointed though... well I was with the ribbons for the challenge.... I only have red and pink ideas in my head so I'm defo going to be the worst of the 10 :rotfl:

I wonder if that was part of the challenge that we don't yet know about?? maybe cause we both said traditional that they are sending us the others :eek: I don't know as I haven't had mine yet?

Ahh cool

..well I'm sort of falling in love with them actually....

Been having a lay down and they were on the bed so been looking at them- the purple ones look really lush

...but i'm really scared that everyone is going to laugh at what I do as everyone else seems to come up with such great stuff all the time...

oooh yes - sorry my lovely cuttlebug is minty fresh!!! Couldn't sell it with my plates though... they are pretty marked & warped as I used it LOADS to make crimbo cards - guess I'd get less then but oooooh I'm sorely tempted!!

Rusty you are quite right sooooo silly but I can't help it - my heart is actually aching for the pink one lol & it would co-ordinate so well in my pink craftroom - if I ever manage to get it sorted/organised!!!

But just think if you stop pining then you could sort your craft room, and organise it ... and then go to the NEC in March by which time they will be old news and cheaper ... there you go ... the MSE solution! :rotfl:

Green is my least favourite colour & I'd describe my 'bug as Violent Lime Green with battered plates (even the 'C' plate is battered 'cos I'm gormless) I'd love a new pink one!

Dawnteabag - sorry to hear of your carp day yesterday - hope today's been much better - Did you recover your car or leave it where it is 'til the weather gets better.

Flourgirl - I wasn't actually 'disappointed' with my crafty ribbons but I'm sooo glad I didn't pay a £5 each or postage or I would have been very upset!:( One of the packs was supposed to be the wired taffeta but they don't seem very 'wired' IYSWIM but had to go to work so not had time to play properly with them. How's your cold doing?

If anyone is short of the odd piece of ribbon & can wait for me to post please shout up rather than buy 'cos I've got loads in all sorts of colours - I won't use all these in a month of Sundays!

Sorry if I've missed anyone........off to get tea........Minted lamb casserole...
