Hi Flourgirl I have just had my order from http://stores.ebay.co.uk/LETSGETKRAFTIE I only order Wednesday night. I think they are pretty reasonable.

Hi all, thanks for all the replies regarding the secret santa. It was just an idea, i would be happy to go with the majority (secret santa, stash swap or card swap) I will be posting a couple of things on my b**g in the next few minutes, take a look it is not the usual

I have done it please take a look and spread it!

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.

I bought the penguins last year but didn't get round to using them, it took me ages to find where I'd put them on my laptop and then the blinking charger fell on my foot off of the top of a unit when I moved the printer a bit (and yep it was prongs down :mad:). I know I haven't done anything serious but it blinking hurts, supposed to be going to Legoland tomorrow and I'm not looking forward to the walking as that's when my foot is hurting most, hopefully it will be better by tomorrow Hoping to have a lil play with the penguins in a bit, I'm off to a jewellery party tonight.

Ouchy Rainmac hope your foot is better real soon.
It hasnt got light here today has been well gloomy and rained off and on- Was meant to be off food shopping but decided that could wait until tommorow and I sat and made a card instead (just put on my bl*g) - It was a digi fom pink cat studios had never used them before but was preety good as they sent me a freebie as well. I also had a refund from Pollycraft today they have problems with there site

Thats the one I use as well - seem to get loads for your money - don't think I will ever need to buy 3mm clear ones again :rotfl::rotfl:

Take about a week to arrive if I remember rightly - plus free postage

Soulie – hope you are feeling better soon. Well done on winning another challenge.

I’d be up to do another secret santa this year. Melissa’s one through crafty place worked really well last year, since when we found out who our partner was we set a limit of £10.00 to spend, and asked for a wish list of things that we could choose from. If you search around the internet you can find some fab finds. Happy to do a secret santa cards swap too though.

Jowri – glad you are enjoying your holiday, hope you had a great day today.

Rainmac – hope your foot is better for you by tomorrow. Enjoy Legoland, I am sure you will. PONR how’s your foot doing?

Marg – I haven’t ordered any exciting punches from the Glitterpot. Just another large daisy woodware one, as I managed to break the one I had trying to punch some card that was obviously too thick. I’ve also been after some ‘grass’ ones for a while to go with the flowers I make, so have a small, and large one winging their way to me. Can’t help you with rocking blocks, as my hands are too shaky to even stamp properly, hence me always using digi stamps .

Wanna B Rich – hope you have had fun playing with your ‘inks’.

Managed to get another couple of cards done today which I am pleased with, and hope to do a few more later. They are in the usual place, and thanks to everyone who takes the time to comment on my cards, it really means a lot xxx
