  • Shell, he sounds terrible at the moment. Don't worry, I won't forget :P Enjoy the time without the kids, if you can? (That sounds terrible, please don't take it that way!)

    I just wanted to ask if anyone here is using Wix...I'm leaving, and I would no longer recommend them. Obviously I don't want to get into trouble for posting why, but after the last few days, webs etc are much better.

    Shell - think I must have missed your original post so don't know the situation but big hugs cos it sounds like you need them.

    shell hope you are ok! hugs too!

    love craft shopping too but have that "buy anything and everything feeling "- the shop i go too is so crammed you cant move without knocking things over so i know it will be an expensive browse but i've done without for the last couple of months and have worked so hard with two jobs, cakes, ebay, leaflet delivering, feel i deserve it!

    should never have done the 12 month list am now checking prices for summerhouses or cabins - a shed would do!

    Saucy, I noticed earlier you mentioned stamps. Probably teaching you to suck eggs, but you are checking the manufacturers have an angel policy, aren't you? Wouldn't want you to get in bother. Most manufacturers are ok, but a few are sticky. e.g. Basic Grey won't let you use any of their stamps, and nor will Stamp Francisco. Ones that are fine that I know of (cos I'm using them) are Crafty Impressions, Paper Artsy and Inkadinkadoo.
  • Yep, but I've made my own anyway, mainly. Just in case!
    Thanks for the reminder, though, OH bought me some Basic Grey stamps yesterday and I must remember not to use them. They are gorgeous, though!

    Arsenal play in a bit...must remain focused on crafting, :rotfl:

    2cats - do you think stamps would work on icing?

    just had a quick look and found these but they only have letter not number.
    They offer 5% off with newsletter sign up and discounts for buying more than 1 pack. post for 1 pack was £1.77.

    Shouldn't have looked!!! I like some of their other stuff too. Ack! Got enough ideas without thinking of any more - must complete one job before starting on another one.

    Actually I think I've just summed up my problem - I'm dreadful for flitting from one thing to the next and never totally finishing anything. I really must cure this.

    Jane, your CDs are looking nice :) Well I like them anyway so I hope you will.
