Thxs for the link esmer, i`ll have a read now

elysia , i use this site and i subscribe, i just see it as a magazine to subscribe to, it looks the same as a craft robo, but IMO it offers more because of the support and its design you can pick to download, it big in america, you can use craft robo files but after seeing the silhouette site, i think you`ll see it offers more....I actually bought the craft robo and tried it ...then i sold it on ebay 1 month later after numerous phone calls and emails to graphtec. It didnt suit me, but i know alot of peeps love it.
I get my accessories and things here the machines there too. I wish you lived closer to so you could come and craft with me, it gets lonely in my craft room and my local craft shop stopped its classes. Two women were brawling so it shut completely for classes:eek:

If you decide to buy , I have 100`s of designs;)

They work on robo too

Any how must get off here, i`m crafting ...lol

Hello all :j
Yippee!!!!!!!:T:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I have magnets !!!:j
elysia - thanks - meant I could finish off my coaster calendars at last.

Just when I thought I'd done for this year I found a sheet of paper that had fallen down the back of the drawer...........so, got some thickish card, covered it, covered the notebook and with a bit of ribbon made a pen holder .........and OH gave me another guiness glass for another pint of socks !!
Will I ever be done ???;)

Hope all those poorly feel lots better today.........hugs (((((:o)))) if you don't.

Hi all, nothing Christmassy going on here again

I feel like a big cold is coming on again and my eczema has gone bonkers again for some reason.

Just wanting to feel better now and get on with my assignment

Christmas preps will have to wait until the assignment deadline day now in a couple of weeks time so I'd better get on with some reading sharpish and magic up 3000 words that make sense

fedup - sorry you're not feeling 100%........take it easy and don't overdo it. Seem to be so many bugs and colds going round at the minute. Take care:o

OMG..... have to share this with you - I had a phone call from our local radio station on Monday to say our family had been shortlisted as the "Family of the Month" in a competition I had entered - I was then called yesterday morning and told we had won - an all expenses paid trip to London this weekend, staying in a 4 star hotel (I've heard its v posh) and... a £500 shopping spree!!! I cannot believe it, I've almost done my Christmas shopping so haven't a clue what to spend that much money on!!! To top it off I've started coughing and my throat is so sore, nothing will stop me tho!

I did a bit of shopping online today BHS (through Quidco) have some nice gifts on offer, bought a couple of things for the teachers at school, my DD present from my sister, and if you spend over £30 it is free delivery too.

Well done everyone on their makes - the coconut ice sounds like something I must try!!!
There are not enough hours in the day, or weekends left for me, I have an exam at the end of the month, think I may take my revision notes on the train this weekend, although I do have to keep the kids (and the hubby) entertained too!!!

esmer

Well done!!!!!
