    I did have a popcorn bear stamp, I didn't like it though as I couldn't to get it to stamp properly so I gave it away to paddington! Could have just been me though as I am funny with stamps!

    I know what you mean i dont normally buy stamps much, but C&C have sold out of the cd rom on its own, i suppose i could always sell the stamps on.
    I hope you get on ok with your CR mine is gathering dust in the cupboard at the mo, i tended to get really frustrated with it, the software was great to get on with, it was the cutting that wasnt that good! but maybe it was just me though!

    Hi Carmin Welcome to the thread, I don't have any popcorn bear stuff only forever friends so can't really advise you. Someone else might be able to though. I hope you will post piccies of your finished cards, I love looking at other peoples creations :)

    Thanks, i get some pic up soon, im still waiting on my OH and DS's getting all their junk out of my craft room. Its a bit difficult to get inspired with computer components and a blooming great welder in my way! :rotfl:

    I thought that was you in Scun-thorpe Tesco's the other day, wearing your blue coat and red felt hat!! no Radley bag though so I wasn't sure if I should speak lol
    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Busted! Wondered why I was getting funny looks - didn't have Radley bag with me as Purple only matched with my eyes :rotfl:

    I only have that one and shamefully admit not to having used it yet as it's an xmas one - would say that's it's very big though so maybe best to check on size before you buy :o
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p

    TomsMum your craft room is gorgeous I wish mine looked out onto the mountains. All I get is aeroplanes about 200ft high, you can nearly see the whites of the pilots eyes lol.

    It is a lovely view, we're very lucky. I do have to have a big tidy up if anyone comes to stay, and the room isn't finished yet - I suppose I'll have to stop dusting the glitter etc off the desk and dropping things on the floor when we get round to carpetting it. Did you notice the loo? As there's an en-suite it's lovely to be able to go and fetch water for colouring or washing hands without a trek downstairs.
