Now we know why you wanted free delivery so you could find a posh and fancy hotel for marrakech! :j

LOL - I have chosen a hotel with only 5 rooms but it looks lovely and has a jacuzzi on the rooftop terrace. As it will be extremely hot in July this sounds perfect for getting into after a hard day's [STRIKE]shopping[/STRIKE] sightseeing!!!!

Just blogged some little notelets I've made, but more importantly a gorgeous card made by DS1!

Are you coming to Bristol this weekend?? What are you up to in Bristol then??? Love the notelets and your DS1 has done a lovely card also.

Choccy I am not allowed cake, but instead treated myself to a butterscotch cambridge shake in honour of scattys cake! :rotfl:

All this talk of cakes and choccy I am clawing onto the wagon trying not to fall off :rotfl:

Just wanted to say thanks to all those who have sent cards :eek: my posty is moaning about the amount of post I am having :rotfl: Can't tell you who they are all from as I have kept them for sunday!! ... Also I know there is a parcel which has arrived from craftyjuju so thankyou! (has your details on the back so knew it was you!)

Glittermum beautiful notelets and the card from your son is amazing!! get some kiddies challenges found and see if you can enter him into them! you could even enter him into choccys challenge of home made flowers I am sure he would qualify as these are home made of the best variety!

Wifey - Don't get me started on the whole MSE partol :mad: I find it ridiculous that we are not supposed to post to blogs ... oh well I for one will keep doing it! :j maybe that is just the rebel in me?

Thanks for letting me know I did the same & kept all the ones I thought were cards till the sunday, it was lovely to have them all to open on my birthday

I posted about my blog before & have had it removed thought it was ok as I wasn't selling anything, I just wanted to show off all the lovely birthday cards I had recieved x

This aggressive style of removing links to our own blogs is sooo silly as you've only to click on the poster's name to be linked to their home page anyway............:( even more daft when we can link to commercial sites without any problem........

I've just had an Eccles cake on the strength of it being Jan's birthday & 'fluids' will be tonight as we've got a family BBQ to go to:beer:

Hugs to everyone who need them. I am fairly new here and just getting to know who's who.
The shining sun always makes us feel more positive, so lets hope it lasts.

Received my Promarkers this morning, but have only just been able to try them out. They seem really good, just got to figure out the blending pen, not really sure how to use it properly. Any advice?

Happy Birthday to all who had birthdays recently. Hope you all had good days.

Just going to have another go with my promarkers!

Is there a knack to colouring with promarkers? Especially bigger areas, I dont seem to be having much luck.

ScattyJan, hope you're having a fabulous birthday :bdaycake:

Gemm and Nici, big hugs to both of you xxx

OAP, fantastic news, I'm so pleased xxx

Flourgirl, hope your dad gets on ok next week xxx

Craftgirl, popped the images in the post last night so I hope you get them tomorrow x

Just got back from shopping, been a long day with 2 very tired and hot boys in tow. Got their hair cut and then to town, had to take Jack's trainers back to Clarks as the insole had rucked up and was hurting his foot. They are only 4 weeks old! They got changed no problem as the sales adviser said they have had lots of complaints about that particular style of trainer. We chose a different pair and they were £2 cheaper so also got a refund Also needed to get them new pants and socks and plimsolls for school. Got a couple of pressies in John Lewis. They have a gorgeous range of Cath Kidston mugs for £4 each. Jack chose one for his teacher to give as an end of year present. We're going to fill it with some chocs and wrap it in cellophane. The Arsenal mug we ordered online for his teaching assistant arrived yesterday smashed in a million pieces :mad: They are going to send another but I stressed it needed sending in more than a plastic bag this time!!!

Haven't had a chance to look at the Big Shot yet, think that's a job for next week on a day when I am on my own

The demos I've seen colour in small circle movements and that's what I do.

I agree with Rainmac

Also the blender pen is more of a colour remover than a blender
