Those of you that have the butterfly punch - I know Gemm has one - but spotted a lovely idea that am sure you girls could easily do for a fraction of the price it was in a posh gifte shoppe and it was just six of those butterflies (two rows of three) punched out of patterned paper and stuck on to plain backing paper and then framed it was one of the deep frames and they were charging £20:eek:, but it looked really pretty and they had a similar one with 9 hearts (3 rows of 3) again punched out of diff. patterned paper and framed in an ordinary frame again £20 - could go well at your craft fairs x

Morning everyone. Sorry ali i snipped you. What about doing something like this and framing them.

jowri have great fun on the bike! I love motorbeasties. Just became a [STRIKE]stalker [/STRIKE]follower on your blog

Niki hugs to your doggy hope he gets on all right at the hairdressers. My friend's dog is the opposite, Daisydog goes in fine and then sulks for days afterwards to the extent that you can be in the car with her and she'll be looking at you and as soon as you turn your head to look at her the nose goes straight in the air and she turns her head away as if to say "don't look at me i'm not talking to you. Look what you've done to me!" Dogs can be so funny!

carmin I think I love you! Thanks for the link you've just sent my mojo into overdrive!

craftyjuju Congratulations on your sale. Your bracelets are gorgeous so I'm not surprised she wanted them all. :T

papillongirl I'm in Glasgow. Didn't realise you were so close

TiredMom I think you need to edit your user profile and change it in there to show you pic and the name you want.

dragonllew Thank you for letting me know - I've just noticed Pollycraft sell promarkers!

The tree saga continues. After lopping off half the branches from one tree (basically all the ones he could reach) he moved onto the other tree and chopped the top off it! So we now have a bare tree trunk about 6 foot tall and about a foot in diameter decorating the next garden. I can't believe some people - it's not even his tree its next doors! Oh and the remains of the branches are scattered all over both our gardens! The ladder is still there so dread to think what he's got planned for today :eek:

Pep-pop - congrats!!

Ooh my promarkers have just arrived (thank you Angel crafts) - now these are supposed to go away for my birthday - but hubby at work - do I play with them first before I reluctantly hand them over???? hmmmm

Pep pop - no the butterflies were like on page 4 of Gemmas blog (I think dated 4th Jan) - but I bet you could do them with those ones. The hearts were just flat paper not 3d. Hope that helps. Not very good at explaining!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MELISSA

:bdaycake: Have a fantastic day. Not sure if I caught the post on Thursday as I was late going out, if your card hasn't arrived then sorry , you should get it Monday

Well done PepPop :T - why couldn't I have won a voucher for my first challenge win instead of the chance to go in another draw .

Right, sorry to dash, DD is here and I don't get to see her that often so want to spend time with her, she's going back later this afternoon. Have a great day everyone.

Carmen thank you so much for the link being a newbie I dont have a lot but thats certainly boosted my collection - I love Tilda somebody sent me a few images they are great to use with the promarkers.
Happy Birthday Melissa
Jowri how did you make your blog? step by step instructions please I tried to look last night at doing one but gave meself a headache in the process lol

Marg

PepPop -Well Done on your win!

Not sure if it's the same in Scotland but here you can only chop off neighbours stuff up to the fence line! And I think you've got to give what you've chopped back to them! Can you not just lob it all back over to them?
