Thanks for pnr for the link to the cheaper scoreboard.
I dont know why but I have a fear of making cards that wont fit in envelopes so always use shop bought instead of making my own (cards & envelopes), just wonder if I will use it as much as I think I might??

cry for help time - I can't remember the name of a company at the NEC who I bought some stamps from as i've stupidly thrown away the packaging and stored them in my clear CD cases!

It had lots and lots of stamps, glittermum bought some alphabet stamps and I think rusty bought a robot stamp? I got a sheet music one and flower one. anyone possibly remember? have a think - pretty please

Hiya Gemma - if its the one where Glittermum bought those gorgeous sort of patchwork alphabet that I was eyeing up then it was Dimension Fourth Ltd - I only know cos they were at Ally Pally and JUST managed to resist them again!!

Ooops Padster beat me to it!!!

I do know you from way back when there was Canny crafts
Yes i do know Cal and she is lovely please get to know her

I am still catching up (desperately trying to find out if Rusty has returned).

I must firstly apologise as I posted my last reply as hadn't read further posts (if that makes sense) but had to post before reading all posts (still 20+ pages behind lol) must get on here every day if it kills me.

I hope that Cal does become a regular poster so that everyone can get to 'know' her like you and others do.

(sorry padster i posted before reading your request not to post anymore on the subject will you forgive me)

On the Joanna Sheene website there is a scoring board is this the sort of thing you girls have - if so is that a good price for it - the elves are hovering!!!

Just about to reply but PONR has beaten me to it. Mine arrived within a couple of days from Oyster. As I mentioned in the earlier post it cost them £4.50 to send and was very well packaged so I think it was a bit of a bargain. Not had chance to play yet.

Gemm, if you fancy doing a fair you should try local schools, lots will have summer and xmas fairs and tables would probably be £10-£15.

Ali, I don't have a scoreboard and have always managed without but after trying to make 2 piddly boxes this week with dismal results I think I need one. Going to order the Martha Stewart one from Oyster, thanks for the heads up PONR :A

I've been out all day and come back to a thread that's calm and serene, much better xxx

I agree with Rainmac and as the secretary of the PTA I can honestly say we cry out for people like you. If you look on the internet under the schools website you may find a PTA link. The calendar of events may well be on this and if not usually there will be a contact within the PTA.

Just reading back a few pages - I love the promarkers, only have 38 so far, so a lot more to collect yet , find them so easy to use.

Hi, you'll be at home here if you like Promarkers. I only have 12 I think but an order will definately be going in for some more very soon. As someone has previously posted welcome to the Money Spending Experts!

You will use it loads. I hated my MS when it first arrived and almost sent it back. Then someone here pointed me in the direction of the Scorpal site. I made a couple of bits from there and haven't looked back since - I love it. The envelope maker is fab too!
