Gemm - I stayed at New York New York last November - we loved it!! Nice big casino and you can walk right up the strip from there. We got a room upgrade and the room was massive!! They said the later you check in the more chance you will get upgraded!!!!! I think if you look on FB on my photos there are some photos of the hotel and Vegas!

Whoops - I lied - there are no photos but I will find some and post them on FB!!!!!

ooh thanks for that, looking forward to seeing the pics! I found out today there is a starbucks in our hotel, result, I will be able to get my chai tea fix every morning! we have booked a park avenue room and will be checking in about 10pm I reckon can you remember what room you ended up in? any other tips are welcome!

We checked in on the afternoon - it wasn't ready for us so we waited and had a loof around the casino for an hour!!!! One thing is that they make a daily charge per room and it lets you have local calls free and some other rubbish that you won't need - tell them you don't want it and can they remove the charge from your bill! They will remove it if you ask! Don't take photo's or video in the casino - I did and got told off!!!

We went to quite a few buffet dinners at different hotels. The Bellagio buffet is massive and I think around £32 per person everything you could think of and the most divine steak! We also went to the Paris Hotel buffet and the Mandaley - all were lovely!

I cannot remember where our room was now lol but it was nice and big ans a good view.

Hi, thanks so much for that.

I have ordered myself some Promarkers as I keep hearing them mentioned everywhere and they look easy enough for me to use (hopefully...).

I figured copier paper would probably be too thin and crinkle but wanted to double check about what I should be getting, now just to find a cheap source, I want to do LOTS of stamping!

Thanks again, much appreciated.

I use Tesco Finest 120 GSM paper for all my images both stamped and digi and it's brilliant for the promarkers - added bonus is that 250 sheets is only £3.25 :c) I do use card if I'm heat embossing coz I have a habit burning my fingers as it's a bit floopy IYKWIM

Padster I put a post up on your stash diet thread asking you something xx

Am off to bed ladies, trying to get some extra sleep in the hope I will feel a bit more alive to craft tomorrow! x

So has anyone on the Stash Ban bought any stash yet? I haven't :-)

Wifey stands there with her hand on some Spellbinders (swears by them) Nope! only three alphabet letters for GD's to paint and decorate at the weekend, defo not stash. Grief! that was hard cos C & C had eight sets of HM stamps, but Joanna will have them again in her shop.

Still waiting for the Elzybells stamps, email on the 6th.

Well done missus, I'm so proud of you :T :T :T

Yay well done all - I haven't bought anything either but then again I haven't even had time to look so far this week as I've been into work both days

DD came home yesterday with her school council badge and saying that she had passed her cycling proficiency - 4 of them failed and 1 was the son of the instructor . I can't believe she will go into year 6 after September - saying that she has outgrown her tiny village school and consequently very small choice of friends and can't wait to go up - they spend quite a lot of time at the high school anyway as they use all their sports facilities

can't remember who asked about attaching charms - I use tiger tail and either a crimp or a bead - got a huge reel (poss 100 metres) for 99p from ebay
