Rusty - sorry I had to pop out and didn't see your photos until just. I can't believe the difference in our weather! It's the first sunny day we've had since the three weeks of sunshine in June. I even had to put on the Air Con in the car!

We have been to the garden centre this morning and they had some RUBs in their cheapy department, supposed to be seconds and they were £1.99 each (A4size) they only had 3 but will be getting some more in. I saw them in Tesco for £5.60 each!! I love a bargain

ooh I love RUBs and crafty storage doesn't break my stash diet....

Hi again,

Can anyone explain how I put a link in my sidebar to peoples candy? I want to enter Gemms candy giveaway but I don't know what I am doing! x

Go to the picture of the candy, right click and save to a folder or desktop.

On your blog, go to Design and you will see Add A Gadget - click and then scroll down to Add A Picture and click on the + mark. From there you can add your image From Computer (Browse), put a title, caption and a link to the blog the candy is from. Make sure Shrink to Fit is ticked. Then click save.

Hope that's clear.

Sorry to dash in and out again, still a bit manic here. Hope everyone is OK. We've had a gorgeous sunny day, about time too!

Hi everyone, beautiful day here today. Went to the paper mill for the first time but was totally lost with it all. Got some advice and bought some paper for stamping but did not buy card. They invited me to a Christmas Card Workshop next month. I did go looking for pre folded card but they do not do it so showed me how to use a "paper folder". Sorry I am not up on all the technical jargon yet.
Would you recommend getting one?



Then had a visit to a beautiful craft shop, met the owner who was lovely, she also invited me to a beginners stamping class. I could have spent a fortune in there but as a beginner had to hold back and just bought an acrylic block:rotfl::rotfl:

I am still waiting on my ink and Pro-markers so I am itching to get started eventually?

Loving everyones new cards, just can't wait to post my first one:)

I've added a new card to the usual place

Irlrip Hope your ink & promarkers turn up soon so you can get started. I'm looking forward to seeing your first card. Are you going to go to the Christmas card workshop & stamping class? x
