What HM's did you buy Rusty? Joanna Sheen is selling them on her website and listing the Christmas ones (out of stock) too, so........ I shall be very good and say wait a couple of weeks, wifey!

I bought birthday and poppy sets! I want the christmas ones but need to save first, so going to put £10 away each week and save for some new mouseys! a girl can never rehome enough mouseys

Melissa well done! xxx that reminds me I need to put washing on the line before I attempt a christmas card!

Does anyone know of any men's cards challenges that are around at the moment, as thought I may be able to enter my ketchup bottle into some?

Donna's Den challenge at the moment is for a male card

Happy Birthday CGC hope you have a fab day:j

CT - Melissa's blog has a lot of challenges listed in the sidebar - you might find something there, or on Padster's - too good a card to miss a challenge.

You don't get the big subscribers gift, but you get the freebies that come with the magazine each month, if that makes sense?

That's brill thanks, that's just what I wanted to know :beer:
Did you get this subscription personally? has everything worked out ok? It seems like the ideal subscription for me personally as I don't usually like the sign-up gifts they offer. I think I will get it as it's more reliable than waiting on the market man every week.

back - with paperclips but no laptop.
Next question, which probably should have been my first question is........
how do you stick the embellishment to the paperclip?

Depends on what you are wanting to stick to them? You could maybe use glue dots or a better and more secure one would be glossy accents or PVA glue? or even a hot glue gun

Hi Marg is that you over on crafty ribbons (sunday name???) if so I love your makes especially the sailor/lighthouse card and the hair ornament is so cute .

Happy birthday cj cockcroft

Those house mouse stamps are sssooo cute I am tempted but am holding out at the moment haveing splashed out on the Jane Netley Mayhew animal stamps last month

I have no intention however of joining the stash diet, it has taken me far too long to decide that I can do a hobby thats just for me to stop spending my pocket money now:rotfl::rotfl: and anyway I live on the same street as Sugar Nellies shop so I have to pass it daily and its very rude not to go in and say hello

Hugs to all that need one

I was going to stik a circle with a flower on to it - do you just stick it on one side or front and back?

I have glue dots and clossy accents - but no hot glue gun (yet!)
