Giggle - I've got the link for the chart that you colour in yourself but can't find the one that has the colours already filled in. Let me know if you want the link.

Tomsmom - Thanks for the info re promarkers.

The Wife - -can I ask - do you ever get crumbs in places you really shouldnt get crumbs!!!:eek: Or do you have industrial strength cossies to keep them out??:rotfl:

Ali! brilliant! Of course it can be a bit sticky but what's that saying, 'I suffer for my art' :D I do my best for Queen and country.:D

Anyone thinking about a tape gun? I popped over to the 3M site and you can buy a tape gun the ATG 700 for £9.44 (inc.vat) free postage. Oops, I forgot to look but I think it comes with a roll of tape. If Princess K with her sweet tiny hands can manage to work one well then, I'm sure I can. Thanks, craftygranny for the heads up on that one.

wifey I bought mine from there a few weeks ago, and ordered 2 rolls of tape and only 2 came so I'd order at least one spre roll just in case! I love it, was delivered quite quick too

Oh my what a birthday - not much crafting done as yet, 3 friends turned up this morning out of the blue which was lovely. DD has been making endless coffees, bless her. The postman arrived with my pressies - I got a Letrajet (didn't even know I needed or wanted one, but am thrilled), a Tim Holtz Distressing Tool, a CB Diamond embossing plate and a corner punch. My stamps that I orderedfrom the US also arrived (in less than a week) and I can't wait to play now!

Tired Mom - hope DD feels better - my two used to get croup - hopefully she will outgrow it. Have you tried a dream catcher and nightmare spray for your son? If the dreams are not connected to any other issues (e.g bullying, stress at home etc) then I have found that these help.

Popkins - hope that the pain eases up soon.

Npsmama - congratulations

TheWife - aren't Oyster Stamps just the best? I bought in person from their showroom and they looked after DH so that I could shop (gave him a paper to read and a coffee). Then I ordered the Nesties at the weekend and got them yesterday. I also wanted something else that I'd seen in store but wasn't showing online and they helped out with that.

Ali.b - Thanks. I bought the BG Archiac the stamps the other week and used them to make an easel card at the weekend. I also ordered the BG mixed pack from the Craft Superstore, but only got 2 sheets of the acrhiac range in with it. I would quite like to get the Archiac Papers though as I loved using the stamps once I'd broken them in.

Tomsmum - thanks for letting us know about the troll.

Thanks,Gemm, I'm off to see what the price of their spares are, I'm sure I read somewhere that Directa sell the cheapest replacement, they're a local firm, I'll check it out. I'm sure craftygranny recommended an ebay seller for the spare tapes, she's a canny lass so hopefully she'll read this and let us know.
