    Blimey Rusty - if I had one of them I'd have a bald cat and no curtains :rotfl::rotfl: Can you imagine what that much burning cat fur would smell like :eek:
    (no small and intensely irritating animals were harmed in the typing of this post)
    :rotfl:

    So long as you post the badge and email Stitch as she asks wanna b I'm sure you'll get your image - she does live out in the sticks in the US though and has been known to lose her electric and connection for 24 hours at a stretch :(

    I've put the badge on my blog and have emailed her too (it's the stitchy challenge badge - hopefully it's the right one). We've probably broken her internet connection with our requests:D

    I'm s'posed to be finishing this 40th birthday card, but getting nowhere fast - why is it that kids always take a huge interest in what your doing and remember that a piece of homework needs to be in tomorrow when they're s'posed to be in bed??

    Dragonllew - Thanks for the heads up on Stitch and thanks for the instructions. My badge on my blog should now lead to her lovely site. Think I shall certainly be getting more from her in future. I fancies a go at the silhouettes (sp) but went for the candyfloss castle as will have more immediate use for this.

    Whoever sent the spendy elves my way can you please have them back. I finally got craftwork cards to accept my order and discovered the third time of doing the order more stuff had got in my basket, don't you just hate it when that happens!

    And Scatty you naughty naughty person. Links to cheap Promarkers :eek:. I think my computer was trying to save me though as it crashed half way through and by the time it would reboot back up more were out of stock :mad: I have however got 30 promarkers coming my way for the grand price of £28 which I think is pretty good going. I was trying to find out colours to start with and then decided to just go for it as I only have a few so shouldn't duplicate and if I do at that price I can always sell them.

    Good evening everyone
    Hope your back is soon better Dawnteabag
    Thanks for the good lucks on the house selling/buying
    £28 for 30 promarkers is good as well - I have never brought promarkers from hobbycraft as they have always been priced well over what everyone else sells them for and I havent brought any now as I would end up with a load of doubles.:)
    Its my weigh in in the morning bet I havent lost any this week with me naughty curry night and wine :(
    Oh well will have a strict week now :)

    Sally - sorry to hear about your OH - fancy having to sleep on the floor!

    Rusty/Wanna-b/TomsMom - my order today was from dies to die for - I got some of the new cc designs stamps, a kaisercraft pad (never used these before) and the basic grey kraft pad. I've also ordered some stamps from sugar nellie (more cc designs and some Elizabeth Bell ones), some flowers and crystal drops (never used these before) from here, and some more flowers from here.
    I also bought some of the rabbit stamps from lili of the valley last week - I have hardly any animal stamps 'cps I just don't know how to colour them in - but I copied this tutorial and my rabbits look really cute.

    Hello everyone, phew, so much to read!

    Rusty, you sound like things have got a bit better, that's brilliant, make sure you don't go too quick too soon xxx

    Mel, I love Dies To Die For and the service is so fab x

    DTB, oh no, please take things as easy as possible xxx

    The winner of the card for Rusty challenge is...drum roll please... SKIERGIRL, congratulations lady, will send some bits and bobs to you later in the week xxx Rusty, just about to PM you with winner number 2 :-)

    My littlest monkey has a terrible cough and cold, he was awake loads last night so I've felt rather carp today. I also had to walk everywhere today as my car has a flat tyre, going to be replaced tomorrow - hopefully!
    :wave: If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain :wave:

    Momoffour Sounds like you have been busy. Hope DDs communion goes well on Saturday.

    Dawnteabag Ouch !! Take it easy.

    Melissa75 Sounds like you have had a good spend there ;) Does you good to treat yourself.

    TiredMom 30 Promarkers for £28 is brilliant.

    ScattyJan Just dont have any breakfast before weight in ;):rotfl:

    Wanna b rich Glad its not just my children that do that :rotfl: Dont forget they will get in big trouble if the homework isnt handed in.. Or is it just mine that use that one ?

    TomsMum Hope you manage to get some crafting done tomorrow. It sounds like you have had a really busy day !

    Padingtondoo. Stitchy is great isnt she ? I have my badge ( think its the right one) and have been sent my stamps. I cant wait to have a play tomorrow :D

    Rusty It does make me giggle everytime i think of you embossing :rotfl:. Its such a shame you had bad weather tonight. But now at least you can release the baloons as a family..

    Right all well i cant stop yawning. So i will say night night xx

    :jCongratualtions Skiergirl:j

    Mel - you've got some lovely things there, can't wait to see what you create.

    Choccy - Funny enough that was the exact words "I'll be in big trouble!!" Failed to see that they were in equally big trouble with me. I wouldn't mind, but she's had it for nearly 2 weeks.

    ScattyJan - try Whoopiedoo-ings GPP here;)

    Momofour - good luck with your DD's shoes

    Rainmac - hope your little one get better and you get the tyre fixed

    I think that's everyone, if not please accept my apologies.
