anyone got/been to a boundary mill? are their craft sections any good? dont have one near myself but might have the opportunity to go at the weekend so just wondering what you reckon?

My local boundary mill is mainly docrafts stuff, lots of papermanie, forever friends, anitas, and other stuff like that! I love ours, but that is possibly because the only other local one to us is craftsite! (they sell online aswell!) but that is small! I think you should go even if you don't like the craft section then it is worth going for a look around the other bits

The_Wife - they are a great range of papers - my favourite manufacturer at the minute!!

PrincessTiger - was it the massive pad that you bought - the papers look gorgeous -Rusty bought the pad the other day.

Yes I did buy the Penny Lane papers .... and today I went back and bought the Bella Bella papers!! ... Melissa if you still want them I can go and buy them and post them to you, just let me know!

Wow all of this talk at the range and our nearest so I thought was carlisle!! .... but just double checked and they have one opening soon in Stockton-on-Tees!! not sure really how far that will be but could be a good day out

Sorry not caught up on blogs tonight, I have done all of the ironing though!! ... need to make a start on making bows up for these wedding invites tomorrow, also made (or rather started making) another card for mothers day!! ... need to finish that aswell!

I am so pleased - today I went to Michaels armed with this weeks voucher which is a 50% off one and I was looking at MS punches when out of the corner of my eye I spotted a pile of MS scoring boards for $19.99 plus tax well, it was in my trolley so fast you couldn't see it for dust!!!! It is very big and looks great. I used my voucher so got it for $9.99 which converts to around £6.99 wow!!!!

My online order from a craft store called Jo-ann arrived today and the Top Score Multiboard is half the size of the MS one and cost more!!!! Pleased with the stuff I got though.

I need to stop buying now as my bag is already going to be full up!!!!

Completely off topic - have just seen a trailer for channel 4 cutting edge My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding. You really need to watch the vid called Bridget's wedding dress she is your grans toilet roll holder in the flesh :eek::eek: :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Omg - I've just got to watch this

Dragonlew beautiful birthday cards - can I be cheeky and ask where you got your swirl die from? On the same topic can anyone recommend a good flower die set for the 'bug. I was looking at EK success punches but that seems pointless when I've got the 'bug sat there.

Wow this thread moves fast!!!

I think I'm going to have to build my supplies up slowly as we r mega skint at the moment trying to save for a trip to London in April.

Thank u soooo much for all the information Glittermum, I keep looking at the range when I go past on the bus thinking I'm sure I've heard of that on here, I will have to get off the bus earlier and go nosey round!! I will also take a walk to those other stores next time I go into town. I'm afraid I will b too skint to go to the NEC, I so wish I could though!

Melissa75 Thank u sooo much for all those websites, I will put those in my favorites list and have a gd nosey through all of them once I actually have some money!

Nannyboo1 Thank u for mentioning checking out the Docrafts website, I have found I have 3 local stockists, so when I go nosying round town I can get myself a copy so I might not b so lost with it all!!

I hope I win that lottery tonight so I can go on the spending spree for cardmaking supplies
