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.

Hiya

This is the link for Classy Crafts but although they are £1.45 each there is a £1.95 postage charge on top for orders up to £6.49 then £2.35 for the next tier so Grafton Crafts still work out to be the cheapest.

Had a really busy few days. I’m typing from memory so sorry if I forget anyone.

Went to Portsmouth to buy some card in the PaperMill shop at the weekend, but really disappointed in the colours that they stock and the fact that you can’t now buy linen effect card in a ‘fill your own box’ as they only sell it now in packs of 10 for £1.00. The only good thing is that they have altered the size and style of box, so you can get alot more for £4.00, just a shame they didn’t have the colours I wanted.

Went to the range and I bought another goody bag, and it has a brass stencil in. Does anyone know how I can use this to emboss in the cuttlebug? Do I need anything extra other than the A, B or C plates, as I don’t have any tan mats.

Congratulations to our recent winners– fab cards from everyone :T

OAP – hope you find something crafty to do whilst you are ‘down south.

Ali – glad the party went well and that the weather didn’t spoil it.

Marg – sorry our team beat yours on Sunday, but well done in reaching the premier league.

WBR – thanks for the info about Oyster Stamps, the punches arrived today, but am disappointed at the size of the butterfly punch, as I bought the large one and I think it is tiny! I was expecting something much bigger.

Jellybaby21 – I’ve just blo*gged my card for your makeup/cow challenge, hope you will accept it.

Rusty hope your teeth/mouth are better today.

DBT – sorry to hear about your Granny, and that you are having a rough time at work at the moment. Hope &Son has a fab party. I’m another who think that is rude to not respond to a party invitation.

Hope the weigh in went OK for you KMS.

Lizalloreds – sorry you have had such hassle with your dentist and the work you need doing. When I had a crown fitted the exact thing happened to me, only when the lab sent it back it didn’t fit properly so it took me 4 visits to sort it out. Luckily I don’t mind going to the dentist, as I really trust mine and therefore feel really confident with anything I need done.

Fab flowers CraftyFairies.

Off to catch up on blogs x

Congrats to the latest winners.

Rusty - hope your mouth feels better soon, it's miserable having tooth/gum pain isn't it.

DTB - I also think people can be incredibly rude. Surely it takes just minutes to either call someone or get an RSVP done for a party?? Makes you wonder why we bother sometimes!!!

Craftyfairy - your flowers are lovely.

I am slowly catching up on the blogs now but you may get comments from posts that are a month old still!!!

Another flying visit from me tonight so sorry once again for not commenting on individual posts. I seem to be all over the place this week! I have a list as long as my arm of things to do & it just seems to get longer & longer! I've had no time to craft, I miss it & it's making me grumpy! lol Discovering I've won a lovely stamp has cheered my day up though so thanks to elysia2003 for letting me know. Hugs to all of you. I am way way behind on bl*gs but I promise I'll comment on all your lovely makes as soon as I can. x x x

I haven't made a card since DD birthday 2 weeks ago, all computerised!
I'd love to make DS a WWE card, any inspiration.
I have been making sock monkeys of late & today I made several tissue (kleenex) holders which I quite liked doing.

Need to order my Banana Frog stamp set for christmas cards.

For those who have Pink Petticoat papers, I bought a set which has the kraft shade but I need it lighter than it prints. can anyone offer me tips.
Thanks

hogshead if you downloads Googles Picassa you'll be able to lighten that up very easily. It's good for sorting your piccies and stuff. It's free too.

I've got mega pain at the moment, I was dreaming i was throwing a punch at someone and fell out off bed, my elbow is twice the normal size and as for the head and shoulder, well Ouch! isn't enough. Who was I trying to slug..........Barbara Windsor:eek:

I'm skimming as I am falling asleep so Well Done! to the MSE Collective! Way to go.
