I'm going to be nosey, where do you live? Wickstead isn't far from me

Rainmac - I live in a little village called Meppershall - its just below Bedford, so Wickstead is about an hour away from us.

Jowri - sorry for your loss. Sending hugs too.

Hope everyone else it well.

I have found a new site called time to sow. I was looking in the video gallery and there is a video there that might interest Craftyjuju. They use something called stampbord to make jewellery and other stuff. Thought it might be of interest. The sites quite good too. I liked the video about the posh frock stickers. I never thought of doing something like that on a card.

Hope everyone has a good day. Hugs to all. xx

quiksave, don't despair, it'll come right in the end, what does your HTML code say?

Just try the 'add a gadget' and open up a new one copy and paste the code and see if it overwrites the original code with the new code. It sounds complicated I know, it has had me in a muddle before.

You are not a problem

Thanks for your help, I do appreciate it. I've tried again without success. I can't be spending any more time at the moment on this, I'll try again later.

Gosh you all know how to natter don't you!

Thanks for all your advice re. my paper for rubber stamping, I'm going to try Osbournes as I have one quite close and they seem ok on price so will go have a mooch at the weekend. If not then I will be off to Rymans as unfortunately, and perhaps unbelievably I don't have a Tesco near me :eek:

Got some Memento ink on order :T Can anyone tell me whether rock a blocks are worth the extra cost compared to just acrylic blocks for unmounted stamps?

Had a look at loads of your blogs and they are all fab, I hope I can pull off such great results, eventually.

Morning all, hope everyone is ok? I have loads of pms I need to reply to so please don't think I'm ignoring you! Have been colouring in 2 images this morning but still need to make the cards!

Jowri so sorry to hear your bad news, sending hugs xxx

Looked at new spellbinders but I just see more of the same styles but with rounder edges? Is it just me?

Soma if you don't use them why not sell them?

Thosecwith blog problems if you have your own website of know someone who has hosting space it may be worth you loading your blog background and hosting it yourself, OH did mine at the weekend and mine is now hosted on my own website

Can't stop, need to be busy!

I have tried rock a blocks and they were rubbish for me, I much prefer acrylic blocks and they can be a reasonable price per pack from paper mill. Obviously everyone is different as has their own style, welcome to the mad house

Quicksave, nice to see you here! Xx

Just a quickie as need to get lunch for DD and myself before school for both of us. For those with blog background problems Scrappin Blogs have some backgrounds again on their site so I have gone back to them again, for how long who knows?

Hello,
Jowri sorry to hear your news((hugs))
Rusty take care with your dieting and exersizing please xx
Quicksave I have the same message and have followed Wifeys instructions to the letter and have changed my background, however, I still have the message about friday so ... Wifey please ??? I am assuming that I will have a blank border/background on Friday and will then have to add another free background then. ? Yes? answers marked to ..
she who needs her hand held please:rotfl:

We had some fantastic and miserable news I am going to be a Granny again in December:T:T but my sons and their families live 70 miles, 800miles and 10,500miles away and yup you guessed it the new baby will live in NZ:( ah well

OAP I changed my background but it still has the same message as you have, I guess it will be a universal message to anyone who links to that particular blog until they have moved everything over to the new host site. I'm hoping the code I have used is good to go as I copied it fresh from their site. If it falls down on Friday we should be able to find a new background from somewhere even if it's temporary.

Rusty, ta for the advice but lucky you to have a knowledgeable OH about those computery type things

OAP, I know so well how you feel with those little ones so far away.

TiredMom thanks for the info, I'll have a shufty later on when I get home, just so busy here at work. :whistle:

Cgcockcroft - your weekend sounds lovely!!!

Rusty - I'm not surprised you got fed up of living on the 400 calories - must have been a nightmare!! I thought I would find it harder than it is to cut out the rubbish its probably because I'm not being too strict! I keep eating strawberries and ice lollies as a treat!! OH is okay - the funeral is on Friday - he is getting worried because we ordered some suits last week from a catalogue and they still haven't turned up - so he might have to take a visit into town to find something, plus he's one of the pall bearers so he's stressing that he will be at the front. Your dragon cards are all fabulous!!!

Rainmac - congrats on raising so much at the fair!!! Good luck at the dentists later!!!!

Artydoll - beautiful card - I love the gems on the butterfly. If you take a look at my blog and scroll down on the right had side there's a list of loads of challenges.

Grapey - hi and welcome!!!

Soma - great cards - love all of the flowers.

Lyndach - its great to hear from you!!!

OAP - congratulations - its a shame they live so far away though - I live about 150 miles away from my Mum.

Giggle - your box is fantastic - I don't know why you're not happy with it - it made me giggle!!!!

Jowri - I'm really sorry to hear about your step Nan.

PepPop - I hope your OH feels better today!

TiredMom thanks for the info just popped back to scrappin' blogs to see if they had uploaded my previous background but not yet but I did choose another one from ScrapShana. Gosh! even I won't recognise my blog at this rate, I want my earth angel back, it was easy on the eyes.
