For anyone who as the Tim Holtz Distress Inks be careful that the lids are not loose on them. I've got a few where the lids don't stay on and I have put an elastic band around them.

I have a Promarker where the lid doesn't sit tight, I'm always finding it loose in my pen box :mad: Your rubber band idea is a good tip

Pointofnoreturn Hope you manage to have a good nights sleep, sorry you haven't felt so well today..
Hogshead There is a company, I haven't used it before, but the MS butterfly punch is quite reasonable, don't know what p&p is.. there are 2 punches, the classic one is £7.54 and The Royal punch is a bit dearer I think? http://www.overstock.com

Hassy saw that site earlier but it's US & I just did a dummy run & item is not classified & is unable to purchase!!!

I went to a craft show yesterday and spent.....well lets just say to much! and it doesn't look like i have much to show for how much i spent.

I have now fallen in love with all things stampin up. It was a shame or maybe good that she wasn't selling anything at the show as i would have def bought some stamps and punches from her. It's a shame you can't buy direct but have to go though a demonstrator. I made a cute little treat bag i have completely fallen in love with it. It was so easy to make but it used 3 diff punches and stamp that if i wanted them all it would be so expensive. I will have to look on ebay to see if they have anything.
I will blog my goodies later.

Have a good bank hol everyone.

Phew! A mammoth catch-up about 6-7 pages. I hope I've left a comment on the blogs, I'll check every one later.

Rusty good news on the weight loss and fingers crossed that you'll feel a little better after having a good sleep.

Rainmac hope your mum is on the mend real soon and I love the cards and DT card you've made, will pop back later and leave a comment on the DT blog soon.

PONR I can sympathise being asthmatic too, hope you're better soon.

Thank you for the link to the freebie, flourgirl, they look good for this months CP challeng. I love the Ali Edwards font and use it quite a lot.

I've blogged a card for a challenge over on a US site, the picture that we took inspiration from was lovely.

Raining again and the sun's out too, will I ever get those plants in :mad:

Louby you don't have to have a party to buy SU products, perhaps if you had a word over on the UKS site there's loads of SU demonstrators that might sell to you, after all, it's a sale at the end of the day.
