Craftygranny - glad they liked it, sorry it took so long. x

Really have got to get off of here and get on with things. Look after those elves, they must be exhausted by now!

OH's appt went well but he's disappointed. They'd just changed him to fortnightly appts instead of weekly but his blood results were a tad disappointing so he has to go back next week with the possibility of an overnight stay for a transfusion if his bloods don't improve. Still, at least he is feeling OK and has a lot more strength now and can do more now.



Thanks for the reminder i need to go and give blood this week:eek::eek: i would of forgot otherwise!!!

Have you by any chnace got a back up of the spread sheet on a disc anywhere from sometime back.

At least you haven't got lettuces in your bedroom!

X

We have three copies of the spreadsheet - one on external hard drive, one on C drive and one in My documents. I think what happened was when the budget/spending spreadsheet had been updated for some reason it also got "saved as" on this other one. Whoever updates does the save on all three copies so we don't know who made this boo-boo, but from the date it was done about 2nd April and halsn't been touched since, yet the budget/spends one has been updated regularly every couple of days. Not to worry though, in the grand scheme of things it's not the end of the world!

My lettuces are in a tub on the little balcony in our garden. I've planted salad leaf seeds and not done them before, something's coming through and as I don't know what they should look like I don't know if it's leaves or weeds, I think I'll leave them alone for a while to get a bit bigger :rotfl: . I've earthed up my spuds three times, they're in a great big tub on the balcony too.

I've printed off a few images on my new digi card from Craftwork Cards, I've only started colouring one so far and the ink hasn't run (I did heat set it with the iron though) so I'm pretty impressed so far. Might choose some papers now and have a play this afternoon.

I just found that DCWV have a website with digital papers on and the have a free pack to download here

I put my card swap card and atc on my blog last night if you want to have a look, right I'm off to colour some images back later

Still can't decide about the bigz dies or a craft robo. My oh said last night would you be able to cut bags and boxes etc on the robo . EErrrmmm pass i said i'll ask so if anyone knows thank you .

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to make bags and boxes on the robo, I have made little box on there and you can download files for bags and things aswell

Does anyone have a karate image/digi or can send me a link to one. I need to make another Karate card and don't want to use the die cut this time. Thanks in advance. x

Glittermum - sorry but it made your quote dissapear!! ... if you no longer need your small pack could I buy it off you please? to have a play with. Thanks x

Thankyou to all who commented about the paints, muchly appreciated, not sure I would use it often but may look nice on some of the diecuts off the robo? we will see though!

If you ever need any files I can always send you some? I have loads registered with various groups to get them for free, I have never bought one yet and I am slowly learning to make my own aswell I love it! ... must remember that I need to do these cogs today! :eek: forgot about them yesterday what with the trip to docs with missymoo!

Can someone help me please? I think it is Glittermum/Gemm who has the mica watercolours? Are they worth a buy for a try? or not? I know they are about £6-£7 for a small set but not sure if I will get on with them or not?

Rusty, they're lovely, I played with them yesterday when my friend came for the day. She bought some at Ally Pally and I was impressed, so very glitzy and shiney. She's bought some more from Amazon.

I'll come and find you when I've got my Robbie going and perhaps you'll hold me hand!!!!

OK - question from me. Does anyone know of an embossing folder that can be used in the Cuttlebug that has small hearts on it? I know they do one with bigger hearts in blocks but I have seen one on a card somewhere where it makes a background of small hearts. Anyone seen it?

Sorry - snipped you.

Is this the one you mean

Giggle OMG That is beautiful!!!!! Oh I am sooo jealous. When do you get it. Bet you can't wait. That is definately the best present ever!!!!! Yep I'm drooling on my keyboard!
