*cough* I resemble that comment :rotfl: I have gone a bit mad lately!! I don't care at the minute though!! Roll on the NEC heaven forbid there are any nice papers there!!

I can imagine just what a kid from the glitterpot might look like - well I don;t really have to imagine it - its what "&son" looks like when he's put glitter on a card - covered in it - top to toe!

I have some of those in 12x12 but haven't used them yet as the patterns are bigger on 12x12 but they are lovely. I wish the 12x12 papers had the same size pattern as 6x6 just more of it IYKWIM

Glad it's not just me i always they would be better with the same small pattern repeated rather than printed bigger. lol

A big 'thank you' to everyone who had a look at the blog, isn't it weird that there's two different views of it. One all angel-ed up and the other one just a heavenly mitt. Perhaps it's different monitors. I dunno! :huh:

craftygranny

oooooh i saw your angel too not just a mitt. looking good.

RustyFlange

I have a full angel here aswell :j I would say it is to do with the screen resolution as my lappy keeps changing things for me! and when the resoution is set so everything is bigger I lose lots of my blog! :eek:

Can anyone help me please? I have seen this fab storage she says she used Kaisercraft mdf ribbon storage but I can't find any. Any ideas where I could get some from please?

I recently aquired a crafting trolly (see blog) should I bring this to the NEC? I read about how you buy loads & was wondering if I'd look silly if I take it?

I am definitely taking mine, I don't care how silly I look because I didnt take it last time and suffered for days with aching shoulders

thank you they look cool !!
found some nice reduced ones on the do craft website but they wanted £4.99 postage which I think is a bit steep

Rusty The postie has been today, thank you very much

Twinkle Welcome I haven't been on here very long either but everyone here is so kind

Rainmac I love your Christmas card on your blog, I have been looking at the Whiff of joy stamps I feel some more spending coming on

My papers have arrived from Crafty-Charlie but I was out of work and missed them, going to pop in tomorrow and see if they are in the sorting office

Have made another Mother Day card which is on my blog

hi all, some gorgeous makes on blogs as usual, will get round to commenting on them all later on

sorry to come here and just moan but I really have to get this off my chest as I feel like crying I ordered my scor pal on the 27th Feb and last friday ended up phoning them as I hadn't received anything, they then told me it was out of stock until tuesday the 9th march (even though the website said 'in stock' when I ordered it!)

so I said ok I'll wait, checked the website order tracking on tuesday and the status has changed to completed. I didn't expect it to come yesterday of course, but when I got home today there was a slip through the door from the postman saying that he had left an item in the wheelie bin shed next to the front door.

I was expecting to see my scor-pal in there (as it's the only thing I've ordered that he wouldn't get through the letterbox) but when I went to look there is nothing there so I now have to wait 15 days from date of posting to tell the company I havent received it!

and to top it all off I placed 3 other orders on saturday, none of which have arrived :mad: I really could cry, so sorry to moan on to you all but no one else understands, when I tell OH he just says 'oh well, you'll jsut have to wait then', it's been so long already and now it looks like it may have been stolen ;( grrrr I feel like I could strangle the postman, he occasionally leaves things in the bin shed and nothings ever been lost before, but we've never actually told him its OK to leave stuff in there
