Afternoon ladies, ooh congrats to *******. I have fallen off the stash wagon and took a chance and ordered one of the goody boxes from Sarahs - I think Craftygranny has ordered one in the past and said the stuff is nice (apologies if I have the wrong person...gulp) - so fingers crossed. I have been told that is my last big purchase before we have to tighten our belts - aargh!!! Anything else can go on a Christmas list (yeah right!! lol).

Afternoon

Well - I've had the corn cut out of my foot so it is alittle sore as the moment. The Chiropodist couldn't decide if it was a corn or verrucca as it was in an unusual place on my foot! He took photos to show his colleague! Poor fella wasn't very good with the camera settings though so I had to help him!!! He said the corn might be caused by a problem with the bone in my foot causing pressure so I need to see how it goes and if it comes back I will need to see him again and maybe have an x-ray on my foot!

Congrats to our latest winner - well done!!!!

Irlrip - would you like the magazine freebie that I offered on here the other day. It's papers and bits for Beatrix Potter. It came free with some craft magazine a while back but I won't be needing it. If you'd like it pm me your details.

Scatty - I've Pm'd you!!!!

I have a quick question for you all, What does a Sizzix Sidekick do? Is it worth getting one?

Thanks :j

Soma

a sidekick cuts very small thin dies like sizzlets and ellison thin dies. It doesn't cut the whole range of dies like a cuttlebug, big shot or wizard.

Ouch PONR hope your foot will get better now.

Irlrip I haven't had one of those boxes so I can't really comment, all I can say is that Sarah usually sells decent stuff. The last time they were on offer they were inundated with orders and they took a while to send the stuff out, so as long as your'e not in a hurry. Craftygranny bought one and was pleased with it. When I first started out I bought the Docrafts goodie bags which were only £10 then as it contained everything needed to make up the cards on the accompanying project sheets.

Congratulations to our winner:j

So it wouldn't be any good for frames? Ok thanks Soma:beer:

Soma

what kind of frames? you could possible get very tiny frames

I basically want something that i can either mount a stamp onto on stamp directly onto, I can't see straight at all and would like something that can cut straight squares, ovals, circles and the frames like brackets if you know what i mean.

Soma

perhaps a bigger machine like a big shot, cuttlebug or wizard would be better then and purchasing some spellbinder nestabilities to cut out your frames.
