Evening all. OOOOOOOOOOOpppps I broke my stash ban today, only a couple of days early so I am not too cross with myself! Got some embossing powders (black and clear, essential right!) outline stickers, glitter and gems.

Wanna-b-rich - the challenge is also make-up as an alternative, and also you could just use cow print, it doesn't have to be an actual cow.

Hugs to all the poorlies xxxxxxxxxxx

Evening all. hope everyone is ok. I am fed up, feel ill this afternoon and evening, hoping it is just sleep deprevation!! but my teeth (or should I say gums?) is painless today, so fingers crossed it stays that way!

Well done to the latest winner, I was desperate to shout and tell you as I knew a couple of days ago!! but I did well and kept quiet!!

OH managed to lose his passport, so had to come home late last night to go to Durham for a new one today, I ended up heading up there with him and dragged him to the scrapbook shop ... my bank card is well and truly used now :eek: but I got lots of lovely things ... including some copics :eek: when I came home, I gave them a quick try, and WOW they are so much easier to blend that promarkers and even though I scribbled on scrap card you could just tell the difference ... just ordered myself some from online to add to the few I got from scrapbook shop! :eek:

Sorry you're feeling poorly Rusty , sounds like you got some lovely stash x

Well done to the latest winner :j

Tomsmom, my days haven't been going to 'plan' since the boys went back to school, can't seem to get back into things properly.

DTB, so sorry work is carp, you need to come see me for some rocky road on Friday Aren't people rude with invites, I would never ever not reply.

I should be pretty up to date with blogs now, if I've missed yours it's because error 503 kept appearing :mad:

Classy Crafts do Stickles for £1.45 a bottle. They take about two days to delivery.

I think I might have to make a list up of colours I'd like for Christmas, because I want them all!

I just posted some Christmas cards in the usual place.

Hope you manage to get a good nights sleep tonight Rusty, unless you stay up to play with your new stash

Ooooo Rainmacs Rocky Road mmmmmm pity I'm working at the cake shop on friday or I would be down at your house for a piece Rainmac. I have had the recipe on the boiler for weeks and still not got round to making it..... shame on me!!

Actually bought a few bits for Christmas today:eek: including some cards from M&S outlet, for people I know don't appreciate handcrafted.

We have had two handsome firemen here today fitting new FREE smoke alarms There is a scheme running at the moment where they come and fit new alarms for free and give you a bit of a talk on saftey, takes about 15-20 minutes, the alarms are the most uptodate ones and the batteries last 10 years!! Worth checking to see if its in your areas too.

I hve also managed to put 2 new cards on my page despite the 503 error keep cropping up and my computer showing blue screen:eek::eek: and closing down on me!!

Jazabelle I hope you liked your stash swap . Do you have a link for the stickles please?

jazabelle

Ugh, Flourgirl, I'd just came back here because I'd forgotten the very reason I came - to tell you sorry for the delay in sending your stash, I haven't been very well. I have got it all together though - and will hopefully put it in the post tomorrow or Thursday!

Yes, I loved the stash, thank you! I did leave a comment on here, sorry if you missed it, I should have PMed you as well. It's been frustrating not being very well, because there are so many things I want to make with the lovely stuff you sent me!

The Stickles are here. The normal ones are £1.45, and the Ice Stickles and Glitz are a bit more, although I'm not sure what the difference is. do the Ice Stickles look good? I've got the Sequins one in the Glitz range, and the Waterfall, Stardust and Frosted Lace with the normal kind. But it's never enough, is it?

Oh and if you make an account and it's your first order, you get 10% off as well. So seems quite a good place to get them from!
