LOVE the one with hello kitty charm!!! how much would you charge for that? My hubby's boss is leaving soon and my hubby has asked if i can make a hello kitty hamper and it would be fab for that maybe! Actually I've decided to make a Hello Kitty Towel cake - already got a beach towel & a blanket - anyone seen any reasonably priced Hello Kitty items suitable for an adult on their travels?

Well done all you ladies on DT's!!! Fabbo bunch that you are!!

TOTALLY loving my Pro-markers and am now addicted! and thanks Dragonllew for the link to how to colour in black hair - just finished my first card coloured in using my pro-markers and I'm pleased with the results of the hair I think - practice will make perfect I'm sure - and it will be winging its way to you later today! Yay!!

Marg - you're fab for doing the birthday list - thanks a bunch!!

Well I went to the doctors yesterday and I’m back on antibiotics as he doesn’t want to risk it developing further and I am under orders to take it easy, yeah right the doctor obviously doesn’t have children! I still feel rough today but I have just got to get through today and then at least my husband will be here over the weekend.

Paddintondoo - well done on getting on the DT!

Tired Mum – Love the cards on your blog, I am now a follower. By the way, just read your profile and realised that not only do we have the same birthday but we are the same age - we could be twins! Not only that but I have a DD and a DS (bit younger than yours though)

Rusty – hope you are feeling a little better today

Couple of questions. I know there has been a lot of talk about cuttlebugs, sizzix big shot etc , I wondered if anyone had tried the sizzix sidekick machine. The only reason I ask was I have seen one cheap, however from what I have read you can only use the small embossing folders with it, and all the ones I have seen are in a set of 4 ( 2 small, 1 medium and 1 large) so for each set of 4 you will waste 2 of them. I just wondered whether it was worth considering or if it would be a bit cheap and nasty. If not, does anyone know whether the dies and embossing folders are cheaper on the big shot or the cuttlebug?

Tired mom Thank you for the link i'll be having a good look asap. My oh has promised cash for my birthday if i can't find anything i really must have. So i may well find something there.

Sorry i've been missing all day but we took princess k shopping. We promised to decorate her room next week . She wanted pink and lilac paint when we left home . she returned with pink paint and lilac wallpaper with butterflies on. Poor grandad nearly choked at the price then she announced she needs a chandelier at around 100 quid for the one she liked that was a no go he would have choked to death.
We went to another shop after bq and we found a lovely pink jewelled chandelier it's like pink metallic discs and crystal droplets and at 3.99 much more reasonable . She has a bedroom as big as a broom cupboard lol.

Paddington congrats on your fab news . You're all getting so famous.

That litle lambkin just oozes style!

Twinkle, as far as my memory serves me with the cuttle bug and the big shot you can use the same type of dies (anyone out there, please correct me) even the spellbinders, I think it comes down to the plates that you use. I had a Big Shot before my Wizard and it was good, I gave it to my grandaughters. The Cuttlebug has a smaller 'footprint' and tucks away all tidy. I bought my other set of grandaughters in Canada a 'bug' while I was out there and I was impressed with it. Either - or, what ever is the best buy when you are ready to purchase.
