Rusty - hope it's not the new drugs making you confuzzled; we need you in tip-top condition for the NEC! Seriously though, hope you're feeling okay x

Thankyou, not sure if it is the drugs or the tiredness, or the lack of energy, or just me full of mixed emotions about everything! I will be fine though, thanks .... I am snowed under with invites, nearly finished my mums, and I am about to start the wedding ones, I sorted out a price with her which means I should get plenty of profit not sure how long they will take but will write it all down as and when I do it. As for the NEC I am just going to buy whatever I want and not worry about the cost of things!! think I deserve it! can always save the money back again

Hope the stamped images arrived safely? and also to dragonllew?

Ali-B forgot to say, thankyou so much for my images and my beautiful card, they arrived today xxx

Hello all, I'm new round here *waves*
I'm a keen card maker so thought I'd introduce myself and join in the fun if that's ok?

Welcome :j

I've joined you all over on the birthday thread, hope you don't mind?

Was there one set up on there for the NEC? ...... found it

Aww Choccy - I didn't know it was your b'day soon and your stash parcel is on its way. I could have popped a little something extra in.

JailhouseBabe I hope you got your wages probs sorted out today.

TiredMom your cupcakes are great.

DTB glad your sis is home safe and sound

SaucySecrets I'm so glad you got your promarkers - I bet you're having great fun.

Sunrise - well done on your card party, orders and new customers.

I finally ventured into our local Hobbycraft yesterday and came home with nothing. I was so overwhelmed and couldn't decide what to buy. How rubbish is that. I was gonna buy a cuttlebug but they only had pink ones and to be honest I know you can get green ones online cheaper but I didn't know if there is any difference apart from the colour (I'm not a particularly pink person so not fussed about the pinkness of it and paying an extra £20 just for the sake of it)
Can anyone suggest which one to go for - oh and will the plates that come with it do me just now or would I need to buy extra ones?

I'll catch up on everyones blogs tomorrow - I'm going cross-eyed and need my bed. It's taken me all weekend to persuade my laptop to talk to me again!!!

Martha Stewart Round the Page Punch

I've been trawling around youtube to try and find info on the punches I recently bought from QVC. I found this link on youtube that helps with the size of card to use so paper and pen would be handy before you view it, she rattles them off quite quickly.

First of all welcome!! :)

Do you have another craft shop (any other craft shop!) near you other than Hobbycraft? I only ask bc Hobbycraft are outrageously expensive and although this addiction can become expensive there's really no need to pay Hobbycraft prices! Most craft shops have got bargain bins - maybe you could try that first to practise?
Alternatively, your very best course of action IMHO would be to buy a copy of the Docrafts magazine (craft shop again) as it's only a quid and comes with a freebie and lots of ideas for all levels.

Thank u all for being so helpful and welcoming.

I'm not sure about other craft shops in the area as I havent lived here too long. I know we have a paper shop nearby, paperchase, papermill something like that!! I'm in Shrivenham nr Swindon if anyone knows the area and can help me? I haven't seen Docrafts mag in hobbycraft I dont think, but I will keep my eyes open for it
