Hello all :j -just a quick 'hi' as have had woozy head again earlier on..............its ok now but I'm off to the GP monday to get my ears checked again.

Rusty - sorry you're feeling so rough. Might it be the tablets you're taking ? I know if I take co-codomol I'm on a different planet.............not nice feeling at all
Take care and get checked out with GP

Sorry about your head Mary, take lots of care and good luck at the docs xxx

Can I have some advice pls/

I might be selling some stamps on Ebay but I'm in two minds as to whether or not to allow returns....I mean, concievably someone could buy them, stamp loads of images and then ask to return them stating the stamps aren't what they wanted after all...or am I being paranoid?
I hate Ebay and have been stung in the past both as a buyer and as a seller.
I'm not I would buy from a seller who said no returns though.

Any thoughts?

I've coloured two pictures, and I'm in love.

Although I know need a better colour for blonde hair (nearest I could get was Soft Lime, which is barely visible) and a grey and a black, as I've covered half of a cat, and I'm sure I'll want plenty more by the end of the day...I'm in love

Shall think some more over the next week or so (I have decided I can save £100 by not replacing the flooring lol so that is some MSE isn't it - where are those spendy Elves when you want them)

Spendy elves are walking over from me unless they get squashed on the 180 :rotfl::rotfl:

I only accept returns if items not as described - never had a problem with that just with a couple of snotty buyers :rotfl:. Have you thought about selling them on Crafty Place - no paypal or eBay fees on there.:)

Have blogged a few (ok several) cards including my Mother's day one for the challenge (there are 2 so you can choose ).

Have just sat down from crafting and OH has fallen asleep - bet he'll wake up when I try and change the channel over though .

Hope everyone has had a great Saturday, I’ve just updated my blog with a couple of cards, and JHB one of them is my mothers day card for your challenge. Hope you get your pay sorted out on Monday.
Craftygranny – so glad the girls are both OK, and hope that Alicia had a fab time having tea with the princesses at Disney.

Mad-Frog, and ThriftyScotslass – I recently bought this bow maker of ebay but got a cheap version for 99p + postage, and thanks to the Wife giving me a link to a youtube video for ‘BowEasy’, last night I finally cracked how to make the perfect bow, and they will be featuring on all my cards!
Great Cupcakes TiredMom, what a fab party bag gift. My son is having a bowling party for his birthday on Easter Saturday, so am giving either small easter eggs, or chicks or rabbits instead of a party bag.
Sunrise – hope your card party goes really well for you tomorrow.
Popkins – did you get anything nice at Ikea for your craft room?
Saucysecrets – glad your promarkers turned up safely, and you are in love with them!.
Welcome back Lou05– sorry to hear that you have all been poorly, but glad to hear you are OK now.
Glittermum – what fabulous cakelesscakes – hope yours is as delicious as they look.
Rusty, sorry you are feeling rough again, I hope everything gets sorted for you very soon.
Hope you feel better soon too Mary.
Does anyone have a pirate image, that they could let me have a copy of or know where I could find a freebie one on the net? My youngest has been invited to a pirate party next weekend, and I thought I may be quite cool to do him a pirate birthday card. TIA

I love ebay! I've sold quite a bit over the years on ebay and never stated I accept returns. I've only ever had a problem with 2 people saying their items didn't turn up and another two who didn't pay. I would love to see what you have to sell and as Padster said, Crafty Place is free listing

My OH and DS1 are on their way back from the rugby, Northampton thrashed Leicester 19 - 3 so they are in a good mood I have only just got DS2 to bed so haven't started any crafting yet

Bought a new book today called The Missing, it's a crime novel (don't do crime books normally) and I've only read the first chapter but I'm hooked in already. Got it in Asda for under £4, it's a new paperback

CT, how about looking at freebie pirate colouring pages and resizing them on the pc? Like these... http://www.squidoo.com/piratecoloring

Saucy, we all knew you'd love your Promarkers!!!

Would it be ok with everyone if I did the March card swap on Crafty Place???

Managed to find the new thread. From what you all say, I must try Promarkers - I have shied away from colouring as mine does resemble a 2 year old:rotfl:

My New Year's Resolution was to create a blog to display my cards, but I've not got round to it yet Must try to get organised.

Love seeing all your cards, you really are a talented lot!
