:cool: OK this is just a quick one to get everyone thinking, before the forum closes for an hour. You may think it is silly, but what do you think about us having a Secret Santa on here? I thought maybe we could have a small budget of maybe £5, it wouldn't nessacarily have to be anything brought, it could be homemade or even some of your stash.

Let me know if you think it is a silly idea :cool:

How about a Secret card swap instead?
Especially if you can't get enough people to do a secret stash swap?
I took part in a Secret Christmas Card one a couple of years ago and it went down really well.


PepPop, I thought I had quoted you too, but obviously not
Re. the award button/badge. I haven't had the time to play in PSP yet, and I'm feeling pretty yucky at the moment, but I was thinking that a static one would be better, especially for those who have problems with animated gifs and that myabe one without what challenge it is and their name, otherwise it would mean making one for each.
Hope everyone understands.

PS. Just found out I have won another card challenge, this time over at I ProMarkers. $10 gift certificate, so I am vert happy with that.
Still haven't used up the last gift cert. that I won though as I still can't decide what to get lol

Glad it was useful to you. My dad had the details come by email - I think he entered a competition with them or something and they have his details!!! Some good stamps there reduced.

Oh dear i got an email from them and ignored it then i saw your post and you said the magic words stamps . just spent almost 40.00 but would have cost far more. I need them like a hole in the head lol. but they did look good.

morning, ,

Hope you are all well just popping in to say HELLO

We are just about surviving London, we have all had a good time and the children are shattered, But I have not got anything crafty, We are stopping at Swindon on the way down so I can visit Hobbycraft and the designer village and DH can go to George white we are off to the museums today DS can hardly contain his excitement,

take care

rainmac

Glad you're having a great time jowri x

Soulie, sorry to hear you aren't feeling well, hope you feel much better soon. Many congrats on another win :j

I've just dropped a mobile phone charger on my foot and it really hurts , did it during my mission to locate and print off the gorgeous Pink Peticoat penguins like on Scatty and Tomsmoms' recent cards

Have a good day everyone x

Jowri - have a lovely day.

Soulie - sorry to hear you're not feeling well, but congrats on your win.

Mary - Your Edinburgh trip sound good. I'd jump in your suitcase, but I'm not good on coaches!


I ordered my first ever download digi stamps this morning. They were off Pink Petticoat. On the homepage it says they should come through instantly, but I've nothing yet (half an hour later) is this the norm? I've a feeling I've done something wrong. All I did was put them in my basket and pay by paypal. Nothing else has come, no confirmation or anything. Sorry.

ETA: It's ok - it's come through now. Thankyou.

Very cute freebie image here x

morning
thank you mary-op for that link, have ordered 2 stunning wallpaper samples

Marg will pm you my e-mail address

would prefer a christmas card swap than a stash one. I organised a secret santa last year and there were communication problems with one person which ended up with a parcel arriving late.

off to catch up on blogs

Ouch! Rainmac hope you've not done any serious damage, & it feels better very soon anyway. I'm also after some of those penguins her stuff is fab.

Soulie - hope you feel better very soon too

MaryOP - you should enjoy your holiday, the scenery round Loch Lomond is stunning & the midges should have gone by then! Edinburgh is a fab interesting city but as Peppop says you'll need warm clothing.

Jowri - enjoy the rest of your holiday.

TiredMum - good to hear from you sound like you are having a great time.

Hope you have a safe journey home Melissa - probably part way there now!

CT - Ooo! do tell which ones you've bought?

Has anyone used a rocker block for stamping? Are they any good? - the rubber stamps I got from Elzybells are HUGE and I went looking for a large acylic block & was offered rocker blocks as an alternative but I wasn't sure so left it where it was.......

Rainmac - I must have been buying at the same time as you, that's why mine were late coming through. :rotfl:

I bought the Christmas penguins too. Also the sentiments set and the bird set thats reduced.
