Knew I had forgotten something dragonllew - I think it was yourself who did the bottle tops - was it Wilkinsons you got them from - was it a particular type?? (apologies if I have got the wrong person!)

Yep was me these are the one's I got from wilkinsons they should be in the kitchen section of your local store with the homebrew stuff.
Then just squash them in your cuttlebug/ bigshot

ponr - aargh no not yet too tempting - I've spotted some cute heart dies for the sizzix quite cheap on ebay so am umming and aahing - might hang fire with the stickles looks like they are a permanent offer and I got a sort glittery pen recently from Joanna Sheen - cough!

dragonllew - thank you - will have a nosy at the weekend - not sure if the cuttlebug is like the big shot - do you just do it between the cutting pads - you dont need any silicone sheets or anything??

Gemm - of course you can enter it!!! I'm really struggling with this challenge - I've just been looking through my papers and I've hardly got anything purple! Your card is lovely - love the lace!

Crikey - everyone's ganging up on me!

aww i'm not i just knew you like a bargain so i thought you'd have been. I'm in their stamp club and it gets you 10% off anything else so i bought quite a few of my promarkers from there . I like their embossing folders and losing the battle not to buy them :rotfl:

My o/h doesn't complain too much as i don't really go anywhere unless it's carly's or my own hospital appointments or buy anything apart from craft stuff.

Shall i be a devil and blog my wood mounted ones tomorrow :rotfl:

ooh i bought a new stamp yesterday and it's fab. It's one of those personalised ones that says handcrafted by then your name / email and tel no. and a small pic i asked for a butterfly . Ordered about 10.30 am yesterday and arrived this morning.

I have a lovely order of the new dovecraft piece of cake range come this morning. I ordered from jasmines-cards as she has 25% off the new range. The p&p was only £2.50 so I still saved money after buying most of the range!
I really like the new eastern promise papers as well but couldn't really order both new sets...at least not at the same time. Might wait a week and dh has forgotten about todays parcel and then order again! I've ordered the decoupage pad as well to match but it was out of stock, they emailed me within an hour to explain it was out of stock but new ones had been ordered and would be ok to send out my order without that. I was really impressed with the fab service. I only found them as I googled for the piece of cake range to see who had it the cheapest!!!

Naughty spendy elves are going to like it on there...:o

That sounds great. I have been looking for one myself, where did you get yours from?
