If only every postal delivery could be that great!!

THE-WIFE, thanks I love the couple of projects I have done with the scor-pal just wish there were more tutorials, do you have a link to the Kitty Franklin blog?, have had a search but I can;'t find it

And just a quick question if I may, does anyone have the bow maker and is it any good? have just about given up trying to tie bows

froggie here's the link to Kitty's blog, don't forget to use the google translator at the top left hand side, it will make you giggle and it's not perfect.

As for the bowmaker, please PM me, I'll be in and out on during Saturday and in all day Sunday.

Thanks to craftygranny for posting them too.

I'd be interested too to see if people have used the bow maker.

Thanks Thriftyxxx

I use the bowmaker for all my bows but you do need to see the tutorials on youtube for the Boweasy and then be able to see how the tails end at the back. There's a smashing lady in the US who I buy special bits and pieces from (Justrite stampers, yep! yep! bought loads when I was in Canada) who has the Boweasy (just bought one) get to the point,wifey, let me know if anyone wants the link.

The spendy elves won!!!!:rotfl:Reduced Martha Stewart punches here plus cheap K & co (thought it would make a chnge from MME)

Can you let me know how you get on with your bow easy please wifey? - I saw a tutorial on the catch a bug blog and they look great plus my bows are absolute carp

Have made DD's birthday card but managed to make it open the wrong way - will tell her it's coz she's left handed

Mad-Frog

Thank you THE-WIFE and craftygranny for the link to Kittys page will have a look through properly later

Have cleaned all the downstairs so having a break upstairs really need to clean up my craft room again but I don't really know where to start :eek:

Off to make another card, have too many birthdays in my family in March.

Wow a new thread..I nearly didn't find you all

Hi everyone sorry I've not been around much the last week...its been so busy. To add to that Emily fell down the stairs last wens, from top to bottom. She's fine, not even a bruise she/we cried to 10mins then she was back to playing. You'd have thought it was me that fell, I was so shuck up from seeing her fall & not being able to save her, I also had pains in my neck & arms. The silly thing that day was that Emily had tripped over outside when we took Alex to school & she managed to graze her nose & head for just tripping!!

Anyway some GOOD NEWS I've managed to get the friday evening off work for the NEC Craft event at the end of March, I'm shift swopping, so I'll be working tuesday instead. :j My Hubby is going to ask if he can have a holiday that Friday for me...fingers crossed he can I'd love to meet you all still if you don't mind me joining in still?

Right time to find the end of thread 3 then work my way onto this lovely new thread & catch up

Glittermum

Here's the link Ali. I can't stress how pleased I am with them, they have even made sure that all the individual sweets are gluten free.
