PHEW!! A mammoth catchup after just a couple of days, it's been hard to do anything as OH is going to bed in the early evening so me 'n the dawg are like the preverbial church mice. Been catching up with loads of telly with the headphone on and stuffing a teacloth in the mouth when I get a fit of the giggles. Will try and do a catch-up on the blogs later.

Fingers crossed for me, off to see the ENT chappie tomorrow (yep! a Saturday hospital appointment) about getting the nose sorted so as to stop the snoring! It's loud enough to rattle windows and wake up the old peeps who live across the road. They think it's the Grim Reaper knocking at the door :eek:

More fabulour wins for the MSE Collective!

Thanks for your comments on my cutlery holders - I didn't blog them as I will be giving them to my nieces and one niece checks my blog!!!

Ali - glad it went ok for you yesterday.
Addams - has the temperature dropped that much then for you to say Winter is coming!!!! Noooooo - I hate the cold!!!!
flying_fresian - well done on your beauty product win, very nice!!!

Has anyone ever used Mod Podge?? I fancy getting some to have a play with, I can get a good sized one here and use a 40% off voucher but although it is sealed with foil I am abit wary of it leaking in my case!!! Might just get a plastic storage container to put the glass tub in!!!!

Hello all :j
stuff came from madaboutcards today.........well have I made a boo boo or what :eek: I'd ordered some alphabet letters thinking they were peel offs and they're not -they're the ones that need ink pad and stamping stuff...........!! I've never done that before.......is it hard ? I always have visions of smudging things all over the card so steered clear of it.........till now that is. What a numpty I am........:rotfl:

Glittermum - love to but where do I start and is it going to cost me and arm and a leg ??With OH being off work for so long desparately trying to stick to a budget..........managing ok so far.............I'd have to have lessons I think (on stamping that is.............lol):rotfl:

What a great win Flyin-fresian :T

Craftygranny that looks like a good deal for the subscription.

Don't want to get the blame for letting the spendy elves out of the box but have you seen the new Nesties especially these ones and these ones Oooh I like them!!

Can I ask a stupid question too? Do any of you have these, it's just I've liked the look of them for a while but I'm not sure what they would look like cut out. If you do have them can you point me in the direction of something made with them so I can see what they're like please?

WBR thanks for the comment on my blog, I'm off to edit it to pass on the credits. :beer:

PepPop - I lurrve the labels 16 nesties. I've put them on my list for the Artisan show. I've got some Nellie Snellens and they do make really lovely frames and mats - they are a bit tricky to cut well, but I just keep turning them round and run them through the bug in each direction. Well worth the effort. Thanks for your lovely comments on my blog (it was an ill disguised ploy to show off my boys really!)

Just found this chart which is useful to me so thought I'd share in case it helps anyone else that has recently got a Cuttlebug. It's a chart that tells you how to sandwich different brands of dies to use with the Cuttlebug. Here's the link.
