Soma

I like the eyelet trim nesties

well done to our latest winner - of beauty products and not crafty bits lol

does anyone use stickles here? I've just started using them. My craft shop raves about frosted lace stickles but don't have any in stock.

I also love Stickles - they dry nice and flat without the glue showing. I have frosted lace but I wouldn't say it's my favourite - I love Diamond but also have Crystal, Fruit Punch, Orange Peel and Star Dust!

Hello all, just managed to catch up, still a way to go with blogs. I made a boo boo and scheduled my latest Craft Your Days Away DT card a day early - d'oh!

Well done to the latest winners :j

Sending you big hugs Tomsmom xxx

Ali, glad you are ok xxx

Padster, how can you not like Basic Grey, your digi post has 'forced' me to buy 2 new paper pads, I could never have enough BG

Just about to list CP card swap partners so pop over in about 10 minutes and it should be there x

Evening all. Not been around much this week, kids have been ill and I seem to be chasing my own tail trying to keep on top of everything.

I've skim read posts, so if I miss anything - sorry.

Congrats to all our winners (both craft and beauty)

Craftygranny - thanks for posting the sub offer, I've just done it for my nieces birthday (she's been round to me a few times lately and been really taken with card making and my Promarkers, might do a sub for DD - I'll have the mag and she can have the pens). Thanks for the list too.

Twinkle and Soma - please accept my apologies I completely missed your birthdays, I hope you both had fab days

Peppop - The only reason I know where it came from is that I downloaded it as freebie and when I went to order some stamps the other week I spotted the Hannah Lyn stamp.

MaryOP - I have a small ink pad that I can send you to play with. It's not fab, but will give you an idea as to wether rubber stamping is for you.

Sorry if I've missed anyone - hugs to all. x

Oh I know what I forgot to say - PONR your santa cutlery holders are fab, are you going to buy another set to make your templates from?

CraftFairies - thanks for the tin can tut - I used my tattered florals to cut the can and am using alcohol inks to colour them. Only thing is I've turned into a right tramp and had to rumage thru the neighbours recycling to get empty tinnies as DH doesn't drink beer!! Luckily my neighbour is used to my odd ways!! You've set my mind into over drive as well.

hi I am now sitting at my grand daughters lap top way down south in plymouth, no crafting goodies no cuttlebug no nesties no promarkers:(:(:( we flew down to bristol so could not take any extra "stuff". I am "in charge" here till mid oct whilst DS is off on an unexpected RN trip and DIL is also abroad for work. Did I mention no promarkers,bug,nesties,:mad: I should have paid for 2 bags :mad::mad::mad: I expect to be online when the laptop is free and hope to enjoy "virtual" crafting through all of you:)

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!!!!

ooh I want some mod podge - its on my shopping list from the states, the storage tub sounds like a good idea. I am planning to get some inkads and stuff like that so will prob take a trip to wal-mart for some cheap ones to transport stuff like that in, last thing I need is a crushed inkpad leaking out all over my clothes and new stuff!!! when are you back to the UK?

re the mod podge - I'm sure I saw something recently on Helens (its all fiddle fart) blog that she had used it on

craftfairies

Wana-b-rich - i love that you have gone bin dipping for cans to cut!!! its great to be so economical and make something that i think looks quite posh!!!
I am working on die cut snowflake hairclips tonight - will blog them over the weekend when they are finished!
