Thanks for that Marg. I think thats the next thing to save up for! I have seen these before, but didnt realise nesties were anything to do with it.
They seem expensive, do you get alot of use out of them to make them worthwhile?

I use mine for nearly every card especially circles and ovals

Nipping in really wuickly between jobs with a question.

Can anyone remember who made the post it note books with a paperclip bookmark & magnetic peg?
If so please holler, add a link if you can as I can't find it in my faves!!!! (maybe I never put it there in the 1st place duh!)
Also there were other post it note holders that I recall someone posting but will try looking back through the thread once i have more time...If anyone spots a deal on buying more time I will gladly buy at any cost right now!

Thanks lovelys.
Dull miserable rainy day here.

Morning all, crumbs no it's not it's afternoon :eek:

Amazing wedding last night with giant Jenga, connect four and operation for the kids. Also a huge chocolate fountain with everything going, again I think for the kids but you wouldn't know it, thankfully it was manned though as otherwise could have been very messy!

Not had chance to look at blogs sorry and defiantely not going to have chance to look at all the freebie p&p links :mad:

Just wanted to say huge thank you to Lei that was exactly what I was looking for.

Hello to the newbie's, sorry lost my quote links.

Right need to clean house, finish invoices, do food shop and pack :eek:

Off she runs .......... Oh and typically for a bank holiday weekend it is pouring with rain here.

Just popping in to say hello for now. Been on the lappy all morning:pbut really need to get on. Have DS's birthday party this time next week so I want to get the house back in flylady style and start on his cake. Need to at least cover the board and make the letters for his message on the board-I wish I could translate my cake decorating skillls to cards. Also need to think ofv what to do for his card-his party theme this year is spotty dog.

Will pop back in later this evening I think...hope everyone is having a fab day.

Ali, I am very scared of having ordered it but got it for only £50 which is pretty good (I think). Now need som dies and lots of info on how to use the thing!!!

Mel, I would have preferred to hear his Aussie accent than the accent he was trying to do, think it was Yorkshire but he sounded anything but a Yorkshire man to me!!!

I know I'm going to regret this but was it a new one for £50 and where from please? I'm very tempted and not sure that I can wait until my birthday.

Afternoon ladies.

Just got back from the demo and have had a fab time - stash diet starts NOW though and no Glitterpot tomorrow (spent far too much money:o, but can justify it as I'm actually working a full shift Thursday night which will cover my little spree) Lindsey Mason was amazing, but hardly anyone was interested in what she was doing with distress inks and perfect pearls, so I've had her almost entirely to myself:D. The only thing is I feel Distress Inks, Re-inkers and Perfect Pearls maybe the next Promarkers in as much as I think I need the whole set:o

I know we're not supposed to post codes on here, but I'm not sure if everyone saw my post regarding the Promarkers from Creative Cardworld - I know Choccy posted about the 25% off, but if you use Goggle checkout and enter the code SUNSHINE it gives you £2.50 off of a £15 spend, so 12 PM's for £12.81.

The-Wife - I've put them on my wish list (was going to treat myself today but as you can see other things took priority). Letraset sell them for I think £7.49 plus VAT, but I think I've got a 15% discount code, I'll dig it out and post if I still have it. Also, it says P&P is free if you spend more than £10, but their basket is really glitchy and if you put more than £10 in almost finish checkout and then remove items from your basket p&p remains free;). However, if they are dearer at Letraset then I'll definately order from Joanne Sheen (never thought to look there) as her service is excellent.

Wow Padster you have been busy - very impressed especially as you're sticking to the stash diet!!!

Addams - I only recently aquired my Nesties and they are used everytime I make a card. I bought the circles, ovals, scalloped ovals and scalloped circles as there's no way I cut perfect circles or ovals! I've just bought Labels 8 as I know I'm going to use those loads - take a look on Glittermums blog to see what I'm going to do with them!!

Tiredmom - glad you had a goodtime, sounds fab.

craftygranny

Tired mom they are 50 quid here and £ 55 for a cuttlebug or a sizzix here or £60 for a pink bug lol.

Paddington - that's what I thought - I might as well spend my mind getting shapes that I can't cut out myself!

Addams - I have only just started using nesties but I think the scalloped shapes that I use now look so much better than the plain ones I was using before.

Craftygranny - you beat me to it with the link!!!

A card 4 u - have 30% off everything this weekend - their postage is £2.95, but their nesties are now £13.99 each. They do a loyalty point scheme too which is quite good and they have in stock the MME Quite Contrary papers.

Daft Question Alert!

I was persuaded to buy copics on my first foray into colouring and haven't got any promarkers:( but can anyone tell me please are they compatable? ie could I get other colours in promarkers and use both types to colour one image? OR Do the two not mix?

Thank you

Thanks for remembering the linky/poster for Rainmacs set.
Also AGES ago someone asked after the huge paper clips. I checked in Staples & they were no more than £3.50 for 100 but not sure what P+P would be as they are quite weighty.
