Oooh thats dangerous having a list of exhibitors on here :rotfl:
Every craft for a pound was a good stall last March and November

I can now start my list of must buys

I havent tried to order my ticket yet Flourgirl, maybe give it a week and try again. As long as you order by end of Feb you should have no problem getting your tickets.

Oooohh is this worth going too? I've never been, but I'm very close to B'ham and I'm really getting in to crafting now....what's it like?

CT Fab cards on your blog I can see when my machine comes next week I'm going to have to fight my DH for a go!! Can I just ask you what you used to stick the wording onto your card with please? I have ordered a pad of self adhesive card just to try it but don't want to have to buy all the colours, I need to be able to use card and paper from my stash.

Thanks flourgirl - I am using card that came with the machine which is 160gsm at the moment because some of the card I have in my stash is too thick to go through the robo, and it is struggling to cut it, even though we are using the longest cutter and cutting it twice - not sure if the silhouette will be the same. As for sticking letters and borders onto cards at the moment I am just using some tacky glue with a smallish nozzle from hobbycraft. For bigger letters and borders you could use double sided sticky tape as well.

My OH has just placed an order for some self adhesive vinyl which we are waiting to come through, not sure what that will be like, but I guess it will be great for doing letters.

I'd be interested to know how you find using the silhouette when you get it. My OH is the computer brains in this family so I have just let him learn the package :rotfl:.

Hi everyone, hope you are enjoying your Saturday.

I've finally got around to updating my blog with my entry to Tomsmum's KISS challenge.

Thank you - flourgirl - if I'd known what to look for I guess I could have looked myself - Thank you!

Saucy - I haven't been to the NEC but everyone on here who's been before has thought it brilliant. Think there are even photo's somewhere - the last one was November. I'm hoping to go but won't know until the last minute if I can.

Hope everyone is ok? I have been really busy! just quickly popped on to say thanks to CT for the flutterbys!! they are amazing!! ...

Also I have spent 2 hours sorting through my promarkers and making a spreadsheet so I know what I have and what I don't have and still need to buy. However I had lots of duplicates (29!!! some I even had 3 of! :rotfl:) Anyway not sure if anyone will be interested but have a look over at this post over on CP!


Marg - Just going to send you a PM.
