Right - my crafty friend is off to the US tomorrow and I'm supposed to be writing a shopping list. Any ideas anyone so far I have a MS Score board and some distress inks.

Ask her to have a rootle round the dollar stores, they are fab for craft stuff. Any special MS punches you've seen, lot cheaper over there, any special papers? I haven't been to a Joanns in the States only Michaels and their stamps were a lot cheaper especially Hampton Arts.

Dawnteabag - I think I sent you a pm but when I checked my inbox does not seem to save sent messages so now I am not sure!! Let me know if you didn't get it as it was about a 40% Michaels voucher I have that is valid until 17 April!!!! You can print several and use them on different days or if there are 2 people shopping for you then they can use 2 in one day!!

I second that about the MS punches, the dollar price is the pound price so if you can use 40% vouchers as well then you are laughing!!!!

Someone mentioned getting Distress Inks in the US, there was not much of a selection of colours and the blender tool was the one with the felt pads on rather than the foam pads. Same tool but you would need to get the foam pads overs here to use on it. Haven't used mine yet!!

I got some blendable chalks there also and lots of $1 ribbon reels and $1 rubber stamps.

I am back!! I am in just as much pain!! Had to have a canal root filling DD was ever so good just sitting there like a little angel! ... have to go back in 3 weeks when the antibiotics have cleared the rest of the abcess.

I'm off to wait for OH to get home then try and find something to ease this pain!

Hope everyone has a good weekend.
