Thanks Rusty i cant find any on there i did look in Home bargains they have some take away ones the ones with handles but not the lunch ones well not in mine

Do you have a picture of the kind you are looking for? I automatically presumed that you meant ones with handles lol. Have you searched ebay?

Rusty, I was having a dim moment when you asked me about the Star Wars t-shirt DS1 was wearing. Did you mean the pale blue one or the black one? The pale blue one was from Next and the black one was from M&S, both bought in the last couple of months. Does that help? Hope you're feeling a bit better xxx

Irlrip - I wondered about buying the magazine too - I've only recently got into Magnolia stamps.

Rusty - I think you're being too hard on yourself - I think your cards are great!! I love the colours on your lilac one and I love the background on your footie one!!!

Giggle - which bags were you after??? Craftsulove sell a few different ones - they're under Altered items - I'm not sure how much they are though.

Hi all,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but here goes:

I'm not a crafter myself at all, but over the past couple of years have seen the fab things you all do! :T
I need something making for my little boy, not a greetings card, but with card and paper, which might be a bit of a project. I regularly buy cards from someone online and have approached her to ask if she'll have a go but she has said she'd rather not as it's not what she normally does and she's worried in case she can't manage it to my expectations, which I understand, but now I'm stuck. Am I allowed to ask on here for someone to maybe do it for me or is that not allowed? Sorry for the sketchy post but I'm not 100% sure what is and what's not allowed?

Please could anyone let me know what might be the best way to go about this, either here or somewhere else?

Thanks ever so much!

CAUTION. For those of you who may be thinking of sharing your images please be very cautious of who you give the link to. Some images are copyrighted and you may not legally be able to even share those with others through a link to a photo album. I think the regulars on here will remember what happened to someone who did that to help us out and got into some bother. If you haven't been here for that long, please check with rainmac, Rusty, dragonllew, padster, marg or whoever's got a lot of posts and please check with them as to who you may be giving the link, I am positive they will help you. I would hate to see you have problems when you are being so kind. If they are sent as a gift through the post well, that's nobody elses business.

Sounds intriguing - can you tell us more - I prefer projects to cards.

One of the online craft places - Ithink its Etsy - has an alchemy section where you can request special commissions.

CG I don't think it's against forum rules to post a request like yours. Can you give us some idea about what you are aiming to achieve because someone might be able to direct you to what you are looking for.

DTB you've been missed
