    Just a quickie from me, as I'm absolutely shattered!
    Lyndach - hope your gorgeous little girl feels better soon x
    OAP and TinyPablo - congratulations :D
    Gemma - glad to hear you escaped. ;)
    CraftyJuJu - I had to dye my hair this afternoon as I didn't want you lot to see how grey I really am!!!

    This is the first chance I've had to sit down at the laptop today, I'm glad I don't have far to travel to the NEC. It's only a 20 minute walk to the train station, but I might drive half way in case I have lots of stash to carry home tomorrow (I wish! :p); then it's only 10 minutes on the train. I'm not sure where hall 11 is, but the longest part of the journey last year was the walk from the train station to the exhibition hall.

    No bunny ears for me I'm afraid - I've not had a chance to get into town and there's nowhere local that sells them. :o

    I'm so excited for tomorrow, but I'm going to be worrying about the dogs being home alone for so many hours :o, I'll have to get up extra early and give them a nice long walk in the morning - so I'd best go to bed now!
    some people grin and bear it, others smile and do it :)

    Sorry snipped you WBR Are you making headway with the Nellies? Nesties are definitely much easier but I've not seen any Nesties that make the fancier frames that Nellies have.

    I had an email back from Madabout cards - basically they've never used them, so can't help, but I could try asking on their forums! Haven't heard anything from Nellie's themselves.

    I removed the foam as per the instructions on the Nellie's Choices site, but tbh I think they worked better with the foam still in the alternate layers, as all that happens now is the card sticks in the areas with no foam! I've kept all the foam and might pop it back in. Glittermum has bought a set and already owns a set, so I'm hoping she will be able to help me.

    - sorry your really poorly. Fingers crossed that you're recovered for tomoz.x

    Lou
    - Poundland had Easter Bonnets and bits n bobs to decorate them with.

    Lyndach - hope your LO is OK, there seems to be a lot of nasty tummy things doing the rounds atm

    Twinklestar

    WBR i counted my promarkers with princess k we have 79 and another 21 on order. She can't wait wish i could convince her felt pens are good. Trouble is she's not daft.
    She's hooked on craftwork cards card candy. Everytime she goes to the local craft shop at elsecar she comes home with another packet and hasn't duplicated one pack yet and she has about 15 now. Not bad for a 4 year old lol.

    LOL - 100 Promarkers - WOW..... only another 91 and you'll have the full set! I now have 30 (been struggling by on 17 'til now). Sounds like princess K is a girl after my own heart!

    I just popped on to say I'm off out with DH for the day (yay he's taken the day off and has said I can go anywhere!!!), so thought I'd better drop my cake of for the party later, so here it is!
