kms26 - thanks for the info. I've just had a look and it looks like the cheaper priced ones don't come with the starter pack like the one that Argos sells and probably the one you got for you birthday so that is why they are £20 ish. I love the effects that it gives and I don't have any other machine.

Just looking on the Sizzix website now - didn't think of that before!! Is it very heavy???

Ladies not been in long from the cinema so just sorting tea & I'll catch up later ( posting to save my last read space )
Marg I am dearly sorry to hear the news about Sam. I'm certain you loved him dearly & know this was the kindest option, hugs to both you & your OH.

Does anyone have the Pink Petticoat kraft paper at all? I want to buy some kraft to work with but see they have a printable option & would appreciate a better looksie at it as that would be a cheaper option in the long run.

Hi all,

So sorry to hear your news Marg. Sending big hugs from me. ( BTW I got my email OK)

Well done ********* on a win with a beautiful card.

Thanks Fifi folle for the black and white challenge - It's not a combination I've tried before. I can't wait. :j

I went to Shrewsbury today, to the QVC outlet store - there are tonnes of craft kits there, big shots etc not much less than original prices but everything had been opened and bits were missing. The one bargain I found though, if you do scrapbooking too, is this (We R Memory keepers The Cinch) for less than £20.

I don't really do snowmen but if I'm doing polar bears I run round the inside of the image with cool grey 1 and the same with the edge of any snow and then sometimes I blend it - sometimes I can't be faffed

Artydoll have been to the post office so stamps should be with you postie permitting

Huge hugs Marg - My OH has threatened to replace our cat with a parrot - I hope she lasts for a very long while If you would like another kitchen floor to clean then let me know

Thanks for the new theme Fifi - it's one I never ever do - but have an idea
Will post the new ATC swap on Crafty Place later but am supposed to be working just now

I'll get my coat & be on my way...........(not!);) anyway, I've moved on to ironing now - there's desperation for you! I'm NOT taking orders girls - sorry

I do hope your cat lives for a very long time too I couldn't cope with a bird of any sort - it's all the flapping........

Thank you once again for all you kind thoughts and the happy images you've all suggested, they made me cry but in a good way IYSWIM DH is finding it very tough & I think we should both sleep well tonight we're exhausted.

Scatty Jan Well Done on another win! Hope the headache has gone - those pre-sale meetings with sols are hard work aren't they? Have you got a date yet?

Jazabelle - get yourself a blog made then you can follow all of us & more and get inspired - it's amazing how many lovely things you'll see.

Welcome back Choccy - hugs for you.

Fifi Folle - thanks for the new challenge - Congrats on your win.

Hogshead - sorry not got PP Kraft paper but I love her stuff and print out her other papers quite often.

rainmac - we are going to an aircraft rally @ Sywell at the weekend and wonder if you could give me an idea about the craft warehouse you've sometimes mentioned ?Colemans? as I thought it might be worth a little look (DH permitting)
