If it was a short-sleeved beige t-shirt then I think I have it already

I may have gone a little bit daft with the owl-themed things from Madaboutcards too

Gemma - so glad you are having fun with your time and you can find some to give us heads up on challenges and bargains. I saw an owl top this week too but not Primark may have been River Island or Dorothy Perkins.

PONR - Congrats on getting your bug:j I'm no expert but I believe (& I'm sure someone else will know better) that if you want to use nesties to emboss a 'rim' on the shape you've cut you need a 'tan mat'. These are 'rubbery' to absorb the cutting' edge. No weight & would fit in your pocket if needs be & are dear over here.

LizAlloareds - enjoy your day in Glasgow. How are teeth?

My son just said you can have his front door then. The house he bought last year has an owl engraved in the glass on the door and he hates it . He wants to replace the door. Looks kinda cute though.

Gemm Congrats on your new DT job hope you have lots of fun.

PONR . Lovely to hear of all your bargains. Think my son may have to have a surprise visit next year then i can have a good spend.

Marg . A huge thank you for the card princess k is delighted . She's shown it to everyone who's been here this morning . She gone for her hair and nails doing now lol

Flying Fresian. :rotfl: (I'm glad you are feeling a little better)

The spendy elves have been following me lately too, and I was supposed to be saving for Hobbycraft at the NEC.

Hiya Gemm, I'm glad you are well.

Mummyslittleboy - ooh, you take care.

PONR- yo don't need the tan mat for embossing the nesties. You just take them out of the bug and run an embossing tool around the edge. Looks good and works out cheaper.

Congrats Gemm on your new DT

Craftygranny Hope that Kaitlyn has a fab birthday.

Postie has just been and bought me the most gorgeous card from Melissa she hopes to have her internet back on Tuesday.

Thanks Elysia good tip:T didn't mean to mislead you PONR sorry.

Sorry Marg! I didn't mean to go against what you were saying. It's just a tip I picked up from here. I didn't want PONR to buy it if she didnt need it.
