Rusty - I sympathise.......nothing worse than the feeling your mouth's been wrenched apart........hugs ((((:o)))))

flourgirl -love the notebook set........something else on my ''to do'' list-I'll never get caught up !

Anyone ordered from madaboutcards ? I ordered some stuff (not a lot) sept.4th...........checked order status and it says 'awaiting packing'.......are they normally slow with delivery ? Or am I just being impatient...........??

Best wishes to all those with birthdays -I know I've missed a lot of posts, can't seem to catch up with you lot..............lol:rotfl:

I ordered mine on the 4th arrived today at 3.30pm :T:T,well worth the wait .:D

Hi ladies
I have just bought a bigshot off ebay. It has been used and has come with embossing plates and 4 cutting dies. one of the dies is set into a sponge type block 2 are set onto spongy bases, so i'm ok with these, there is also a brass type stencil entitled friends, I assume i need to buy something else to use with this? my local craft shop only stocks cuttlebug so i carn't ask there. Can any of you bigshot lovers put me right please?

thanks

mary-op

artydoll - thanks. Hopefully mine should arrive by the weekend.............:)

Happy birthday Tired Mom!! hope you have a fab day. your B&W cards are really pretty, I love the butterflies

PONR please leave some bargains for me to buy :rotfl: I'm getting concerned I'll not be able to find any as you'l have got to them first lol, seriously though, keep em coming, I'm loving hearing about them

Hahahaha - you really have to rummage around the clearance sections sometimes ([STRIKE]all the time[/STRIKE]!) - Joann's clearance is cheaper I find! I'm off there today for a look as not sure if you know but they accept Michaels vouchers and vice versa!!! Joann's have less restrictions on what you can buy with the vouchers though!!! When is it you are going to Vegas - is it October??

Happy Birthday to Tired Mom - hope you had a fab day x

Thought this was a bit of a bargain, if any of you are interested

Anyone in the Nottinghamshire area after a cheap Big Shot, this might be worth watching. It looks like an old style one but if you could get it for that price and free local pick up would be worth it!
