Really love all the entries for the KISS competition. I've been blog stalking hopping. Crafty granny and dragonlew I have joined yours now. Will try and join a few more when I get a minute. There really are some very talented people on here (quite daunting for a newbie)

skiergirl glad you had a good time at your friends wedding! have a good visit with the in-laws!

craftygranny great news about Alicia!!

pointofnoreturn hope you have a good flight back, I always find the jetlag coming from that direction quite bad so hope youre ok!

I managed a full day at work today! going to have another early night and hopefully I'll be right as rain soon, last day on the tablets tomorrow!

I MUST just say that my ATG Gun arrived today and I had a quick play with it earlier (took me ages to figure out how to load it with tape though!) - i LOVE it and don't know how I ever managed without one! thanks all those who recommended it

Twinkle I agree so much, everyone's cards are gorgeous. Am scared about posting (although haven't managed to do my challenge card yet).

My cuttlebug arrived today :j:j:j:j:j:j Only ordered it saturday night so was well pleased. Have trialed it out on some scrap card for now but looks good. Although i have one question about die cutting - I put the die as per the instructions but it seems to have cut/indented my top cutting pad with the shape it cut. Is this normal or am i stupid and have done something wrong?
Sorry to always ask questions
Cards are gorgeous everyone. x

charlie dont worry this is completely normal! the cutting edge has to have somewhere to 'go' after it has pierced the card and the plate acts as this cushion for it. I always try to use the same B plate for cutting in to, so that I only have to replace one at a time

Marg

Nipped on to say I've just watched Childrens Hospital & they were doing a cochlea implant like Carly had done! Fascinating! Hope she's doing OK craftygranny. Good news too about Alicia.

Well Done Wifey - there's no substitute for experience!! When we had the VAT man visit us we gave him the best seat and kept the cups of tea flowing - it worked!

Twinklestar - Don't worry I'm still daunted after 2 years!

Safe journey PONR

Marg I dont mind people knowing my address, there are a lot of people on there whose addresses I don't have though, so would love a copy of the list when it's complete! thanks for organizing it, great idea

Charlie, that is the most often asked "stupid question" it is usually asked in a complete panic after the first time you use the bug. I just about cried when I saw my B plate after the first run,:eek: I do second Gemmas tip about keeping 1 plate for "good" I wish I had. Both my B plates look like crazy paving. You do know that you have to feed bugs new food regularly don't you? mine send out thought waves every time I see a new embossing folder and once it has tasted a nestie it insist more more more. Have fun
