  • Oh my 5 pages to catch up from this time yesterday:D

    Rusty - thanks for the link and sorry to hear your poorly

    CT19720 - lovely makes on your blog

    Gemm85 - you have a PM. Also I bought the MS scoreboard and used it yesterday. My honest opion is that it's a lovely board, creases beautifully, but is no good for A4 cardstock. If you use US sized papers then it will be fantastic, but for UK sized papers it's hopeless. I'm tempted to return mine, but tbh once I've paid for return P&P I'll be almost £10 out of pocket so hardly seems worth it.

    npsmama - you won't regret your purchase - I lurve my PM's

    ali.b - Loving your bunnies and sending my lucky day your way

    Paddington - lovely pictures - I'm not jealous (much)

    sunrise27 - congratulations on your sale

    craftygranny - glad your girls are all getting on OK. I think the dentist's surgery is just plain rude. Yes we all make mistakes, but I'd hope that I'd have the good grace to apologise for mine and try to rectify matters, not be rude and put the phone down. I'd definately write a letter in.

    Popkins - I'm really looking forward to seeing your craft room - it sounds fab.

    Madfrog - I spend hours fiddling and umming and arrgghhhing with my cards, which is why I've made so few:rotfl:I love the papers you have used on your card.

    - I got given a sub to Papercraft & Inspiration, I like it, but am starting to find it a bit repetative after month 4:o

    The-Wife - thanks for the link, they are gorgeous

    Sorry if I've missed anyone.

    PepPop - I open the smilies in a new window and then "drag and drop" the smilie that I want into my reply box. Hope that makes sense - check out this little man....

    Cool dance!!!

    For some reason my pc wouldn't let me use them yestderday but today - it works fine (confused you will be). Although at the moment all things electronic are conspiring against me:
    Laptop - not shutting down properly or starting up properly and incredibly slow - no viruses and two days ago worked great!?!?
    PC in work - sometimes finds files / sometimes doesn't / sometimes tells me there's 10 of them / sometimes connects to a webpage / sometimes doesn't !?!?!!?
    Mobile - battery died !?!?!?!
    Off to throw a hissy fit (or coffee not sure which)

    npsmama - I saw those promarker sets on Create and Craft the other night. They looked really nice colours.

    Rusty Hugs that's an awful lot of tablets to take everyday. Hope they work and you're feeling better soon. Did you see the free Robot digistamps.

    sunrise - Yay well done on your sale.

    craftygranny - if i put the phone down on anyone in my work i'd get my P45. That's a ridiculus way to treat a patient - I would complain. I hope Alicia had a fantastic time with the fairy princesses.

    I've just seen these in a magazine - I know they're not pretty but I thought they would be useful. (and I'm sure they could be spraypainted pink :p)

    Does anyone know where I can get the latest Docrafts magazine?

    No one around here stocks it :( - shame as I think it's the best magazine of them all!

    Also, if you have an Aldi nearby they are selling Purple Cows Cutting System thingies for #7.99 - I made myself put it back as I already have a great trimmer already!

    PepPop - those look great & would look fab pink!!! shame I don't live anywhere near an Aldi!!! soooo annoying!!
  • I'm sure you have enough links. You can't upload directly from your computer, you have to go through a site like Photobucket. Create a free account, upload your images, then copy and paste the image links. Rusty did a mini-tutorial on how exactly to do it if you need more help, I'm sure someone wil be able to direct you to it.

    Thanks for this. If someone can point me to the tutorial I would be grateful. I have created a free account on photobucket and got the two photos on there that I want to upload. I cannot work out how to upload them though from there to the forum.
  • Are they from my hystersisters link - if so try to open the smilies in a seperate window and then "drag and drop" the smilie into your reply window before submitting your reply (it was the only way I could get them to work),

    Thank you - I was copy/pasting so will try this method x
