Well, I’ve been at it again bargain hunting. After Gem’s beautiful cabinet, I wanted to sort out my card, as the pizza box it is in is looking a bit battered. So in Poundland today I found some A4 plastic box files, which are perfect and look really great. I ended up buy 12 of them, and am really happy after sorting my card into colours. I’ve just got to work out where I am going to put them! Have put a picture on my blog.

they look really fab! great find - it's lovely getting organised aint it

This is completely off topic but does anyone know of any sweets that are dinosaur shaped? DS1 wants to watch Ice Age 3 at his cinema party and I'm trying to come up with themed party bits.

dtb- cant wait to see your finished banner - the letter you have shown looks v. classy.
jigga - your card is lovely - colouring looks fab.
gemma - lol - I live in hope that when buying a bottle of wine at the supermarket they will ask for proof of age!!!
rainmac- I am sure my kids have had dinosaur sweets I just cant remember where from - I think they were jelly (Haribo type) possibly from Asda - or I could be thinking of their funky monkey - I will keep an eye out for you. Have you considered those wrappers that you can get off ebay or probably do yourself that would go round a small kitkat?? I wonder if those could be done in a dinosaur theme??

Cheers Ali, I'm sure I've seen dinosuar jelly sweets but can't remember where now? I could do wrappers and may do those too x

as a Haribo addict I can reliably inform you that the Tangfastics bags have dinasour shaped ones in them - not sure what you'd do with the rest of the bag though (Oh I know - eat them yourself or post them to me )

Those were the ones I was thinking of - they often have them in home bargains
