Hassy - glad you had a great time at Alton Towers. Weather here has been terrible since I got home but today at least we had some sun!!

Am I the only one going to Ally Pally on Saturday???? Hope there are some good demos there. I am hoping there will be demo on the Tim Holtz Distressed range. Wonder if there will be any £5 goodie bags there like you all got at the NEC!!!! Not looking to spend much there but no doubt will pick up afew things!!!

Tired Mom I'm glad you have got your parcel and hope you have fun colouring the images This is a picture of the Hug in a Mug I made for the NEC goody bags I did for the girls. Basically its a sachet of Hot Chocolate, mini marshmallows and chocolate eggs plus a cream egg as it was easter but you can just use chocolate buttons. I always put them into seperate pretzel bags which I get from ebay. Then just pop the lot into a card bag and make a fancy label and topper. They are so easy. Its just a variation of the Snowman Soup we all make at Christmas.

Evening All. Just a flying visit from me - hope you are all well and not feeling to ill from all the choccie!

Carmin - Hello and thank you for the gorgeous images

Hassy - Glad you enjoyed Alton Towers and that you managed to find a couple of craft shops.

PONR - loving your stash! Hope your sleep returns to normal soon. I think the Wife might be going to Ally Pally - I've spent far too much lately to even contemplate going. That said I've been playing with my distressing inks and love them so much that I think I might have to collect all 36!

Flourgirl - love your Percy Piggies and your hug in a mug

Hassy I haven't been to Lancashire for years, we are only going Sunday-Tuesday so dont think I will have the time for craft shops. Although if the weather is carp it might be a good idea do you know of any I must visit!! Marg has suggested Boundary Mill, I know Rusty loves to go to the one near to where she lives, and usually gets a bargain on spensive papers lol

Flourgirl - you should be able to click on the image to select and then click again to get full size and then right click and save to your computer. There are a few that may not save so you have to go into the edit part and then save them to photobucket account and then right click on your photobucket once they are saved there and it will then allow you to save to your computer. Hope that is clear if not give a shout!!

Thanks will check and see if The Wife is going!! I might pick up a few more distress inks if they are cheap enough and also the foam blending pad for my blending tool as I only have the felt on mine. Not yet tried them out but hope to soon.
