Hi everyone just a quick question from me, can anyone recommend any scissors for cutting as I have a couple of pairs but when I cut ribbon it keeps fraying I am looking for some that would prevent fraying ribbon

Have you tried dressmaking scissors? try also spraying a little bit of hairspray once you cut it to seal it.

Does anyone know whose blog is airing cupboard crafts? There's a fantastic card box on there that I really want the instructions for!!!!

Popkins - that's great news that your friend liked the invites!!!

Flourgirl - beautiful thank you card - I love how you've coloured the image - it looks so pretty. Hope your Dad gets better soon.

Dawnteabag - sorry to hear you've been feeling bad - hope you get better soon. Tom got some fabulous things from CT19720 - can't wait to see what he makes with them! Beautiful flower fairy card - love the gold bow!!!

Wanna-b - thanks for the info on the big shot!!

Mad-frog - there's some gorgeous creations on your blog - I love the card for your sister - I'm sure she'll love it - love the stitching on the front - it looks very effective. And your candle is stunning - was it hard to do?????

Sally - your nappy cakes are fantastic - I think my favourite is the pink one - and those dogs on your card are soooo cute!

Lou - lovely disney cards - I love that font!

Tomsmum - sorry to hear about your Mum - hope everything gets sorted soon. Love your embossed card - it looks really classy, and your cat card is really cute.

Rusty - no I still haven't ordered the big shot - although I think I will be soon - especially with the 500 points offer on at craft superstore.

Rainmac - I love your dinosaur card - I dug my archaic papers out last week and have been making the mini book with them - I'd forgotten how fab they were.

Hello Everyone

Just an update from me.

Dr said that they were very worried about they seen when OH had his endoscopy, however he didn't think that the biopises that they took then and his CT scan showed anything to be concerned about. Just to be on the safe side though, he's wanting him to carry on taking his Omeprazole for another 5 weeks, then go and have another Endoscopy and a Barium x-ray? That's not until March and then he goes back to see his consultant in April sometime.

So really quite good news, fingers crossed that everything will be ok after next one too.

Thanks for all the messages.

Sally that is good news and fingers crossed for you that it stays that way.

Melissa . Can't remember whose blog it is but i saw that too it really is beautiful. I wouldn't mind one of those.

Sally - Dr's are weird -one minute they seem all 'concerned' -next they make appointments weeks and weeks away that sort of tells you not to be worried.
Hope everything goes ok for your OH.

Only just logged on (late again !) so not had time to catch up on earlier posts so hugs (((((:o))))) to all those who need them.

Lou, the thank you stamp is an Inkadinkado stamp, I got mine from ebay from a seller called Kelly's stamps and I think Simon Says Stamp also carries it. Inkadinkadoo stamps usually make good impressions. SSS is a well respected company with blog candy appearing from them on different blogs even their own. Check them out, I can recommend them as I won some blog candy last year from them.

Here's one, it's in the US but the seller has good feedback.

Thanks very much, off to have a look now ....
Any ideas the best thing to use to colour? I'm guessing pro marker ... may need to invest in some!
Now off the read what I've missed today!x

Thanks for comments on my cards Sis in law loved her card. Will try advice regarding singeing ribbon with lighter thanks everyone

The candle was quite easy, stamped image onto tissue paper then cut round it coloured it in then put onto candle and then place some baking parchment over it and heated it up. Was quite pleased with the result as it was my first attempt

Am off to look at blogs and try and work out how to use mine properly

Melissa - If you go to the profile page on 'airing cupboard crafts' at the left hand side there is a link to their email address that you could try. There's quite a few of us who'd like to know how to do it.

I cant remember who it belongs to either. But i have it saved in my cardies blogs. So it must be someone who used to come on here..
Her names Laura to if that rings bells for anyone ?

Is this the card box Melissa?? I noticed it yesterday and thought how lovely it was, I did try to look on splitcoast stampers to see if I could find anything ...

Lou5 - I don't generally colour mine, I just leave it plain but I have coloured it before using promarkers, however it could be coloured with anything.

Flourgirl - Sorry to hear you have been messed about! hope his op went ok?

Sally - hope things improve soon for your OH

The Wife - how did you get on at dentists?
