Morning

Soulie - hope you feel better soon

Rainmac - ouch! I did that the other week (tidying up DD's room) and believe it or not I have a lovely blood blister under my toe nail now - just as well that I have some lovely purple nail polish which just about covers it up! Hope you're OK. x

Jowri - glad your enjoying yourself

Mel - glad you had a good time at your mums

Marg - I haven't used them but my friend who has bad arthuristus (?sp) uses them and gets on brilliantly with them (infact she swears she gets better results now then when she had full mobility in her hands).

My friend is popping round to see me later and bringing me some alcohol inks to play with (not excited - much!!), she bought a load and has now decided that she's not keen, so I offered to buy them from her, but she's kindly refused any payment and has said consider it a permanent loan! So I've ordered her a grab bag of Sweetpeas and some red Promarkers as she had mine on loan for a couple of weeks.

Oops forgot...

OH has asked me to do some research for his new tattoo - he already has this one (yep that is his arm, it was taken when it was just finished so it's still sore looking) but he wants to add to it. Mystical creatures, fairies, animals, gothicy stuff, crosses etc. Can anyone point me in the direction of some pics of this kind of stuff - I've been trawling the net for days.

Ouch Rainmac I hope you dont have a bruise. I stubbed my big toe on the steel trolley we put the bread trays on last week it was a bit sore, then when I took my nail varnish off the other day my nail was black!!! I have had to put some more nail varnish on to cover it up!

Willow went home last night so we set too this morning cleaning, I had just put the bucket back in the garage after washing the kitchen floor as my son and Willow pulled up on the drive to wash and hoover their car GRRRRRR..... The conservatory is now covered with toys and lego.. Ah well, I love em really

hi Marg - I have the set of 2 large rocker blocks. I would say it is defo worth investing in them. I find some stamps work brilliantly on them and others don't so I use an acrylic block, and the ones that don't work on the acrylic block tend to work on the rockers, IFKWIM! I have the crafters companion ones. Make sure you only do one rock though and not backwards and forwards otherwise the image blurs.
