Nice summery freebie image here x

Rusty, you need to make more pink cards, that one is blooming gorgeous Will post your package tomorrow x

Mel, how do you find bargains in Tesco like that? My nearest Tesco never has good offers really. I was in there today and managed to spend £140 on not an awful lot of food :eek:. Spied some fresh peas in pods so just spent half an hour shelling them for tea, I love peas raw so it was one in the saucepan, one in my mouth...

Rusty thanks, sorry if I am being a bit of a thicky do you have just a plastic box then Does it come in compartments? I have googled but just comes up with sticker compartments if you get what I mean

I don't have all the colours but have quite a number and they are just have them in one box, all colours together x

Rainmac - Nooooo I found it quite difficult, and do you know that I only have 2 different kinds of pink ribbon :eek: I pulled all ribbons out of my box but there was only 2 different pink ones in there, not sure where all my others are cause I know I have loads for nappy cakes :eek:

Yoo Hoo - had a lovely morning this morning at Angelas, didnt get to do much colouring though - more talking (cough!) - however she did let me pick her brains on a few things and OMG she has all the promarkers I have never seen so many!! makes my few look a bit feeble - oh well there is only one thing for it - SHOP!!! Also got to have a look at all her stash and bought a couple of stamps off her - v. tempted to buy a Martha Stewart punch off her and some nesties etc etc. she is having a major sort out!!;)

rainmac - congrats!!!:T
flourgirl - I hope the hamper was for your neighbours:rotfl:. hope you hubby is on the mend.
skiergirl - ooh that sounds a lovely holiday!!!

Went to Wilkos & the bulldog clips are silver, small but not the ones I wanted. the ones Rainmac & Louby used are binder bulldog clips. Can't see any online so will have to use the black ones until I can get to Home Bargains.

Bought last 2 packs of Asda post its @ 70p. Hope they get more.

On another note I was hunting for wooden pegs & found some eventually in Tesco. They have value range packs for 75p or bigger jumbo ones for £1.60 ( I think ). I bought one pack of each just incase but really like the slightly larger jumbo pegs best.

Just got back from a lovely spa day, so nice and relaxed now.
Just read through all your post and looked at your blogs, all your cards are really good.
Last night I finally got round to ordering by Bigshot. I got the one with beginners pack. Cant wait for it to be delivered.

Flourgirl - thanks for the link for the dies
ScattyJan -I might try using my blender that way and see how it goes. I know what you mean about the dies, there are so many to choose from. I have also been having a look on ebay for dies too.
Craftygirl - Yes you should buy one!
The Wife - Thanks for link to the blog, it will be very useful
Pointofnoreturn - Glad aunts op went well. I loved the card you are going to give her.
