glittermum your easter cards are gorgeous, love all the pastel shades! your OHs cake looks so yummy it's given me a HUGE craving for haribo, just when I'm trying to lose a few pounds to squeeze back into my favourite jeans :rotfl:

I just got back from shopping and bought some of those Cosmic shimmer pigments and some lovely flower silhouette stamps but I'm not sure how to use them, do I need to put them in the misting bottle they came with? or just use straight from the pot?

Just caught up with everyone's posts and off the check bloggland. Hello all newbees you've got another [STRIKE]stalker [/STRIKE]follower . Still no crafting from me yet although I did sort through a huge bag of wool last night - just need to think what to make with it all now.

I didn't make it to the cuttlebug shop today because OH and I had an appointment with the bank... we've been given the goahead and can now put our flat up for sale and move to the countryside!!! (I'm being very MSE because of the rates etc it will be cheaper for us to live in a 3-bedroom house there than a 1-bedroom flat where we are - how weird is that!) And the bestest bit is that when we move one of the bedrooms will be my CRAFTROOM!!:T:T

Anyway off to blog and comment as I go. If I manage to catch up quickly I'll get my finger out and make some stuff!!

Sorry haven't managed to read posts I've missed and need to go sort dinner out but just wanted to direct you to my blog to see the treats my spotty chaps received from the lovely flourgirl today. They were over the moon :j DS2 is struggling with the spots now and keeps scratching them. It's so awful to see him suffering bless him. Off to make a favourite tea - pizza so hopefully that will pacify them for a few minutes

Gemm, I haven't bothered with the misting bottel - I had a pre mixed mister and didn't get on with it at all! I mixed them with some teeny amonts of water on a plate for painting on top of images, and then used dry powders on top of embossing ink for the fairies(my fav) - just have a play! I'm attempting to alter a photo frame with it at the moment!

Flourgirl - that was so lovely of you - I bet the boys were thrilled with them. I'm hoping mine will gobble up the Indy pie (aka cottage pie) tonight - they've been helping Daddy in the garden this afternoon so should have agood appetite...
