    Flourgirl - welcome back - three weeks in the sun - sounds like heaven.

    Rainmac - No problem! I got the box envelopes from ebay - I've just checked and the seller's shop is closed until the 8th July . The shop is called "Make A Lasting Impression". The glitter pot sells them too, although she is out of stock of the 6x6 ones:

    CGcockcroft - great Lilac card - thanks for entering - fab cat image!!!

    Bunbun - (((hugs))), sorry your feeling down
    Giggle - Good to hear your summer fayre went well, your flower pot card is gorgeous! x Can I also ask how big the scalloped circles you used were for the spiders?

    Has anyone seen any freebie images of a fairy?


    Check out here

    They are colouring pages but you can resize them.

    Welcome home flourgirl, so glad you had a great time xxx

    hogshead, have you looked on ebay for ribbon?

    Mel, thank you so much for the images and beautiful card. Where did you get the box envelope from? I think I need some.

    I have looked but I want a bundle of all different shades or a seller who has various shade to choose from. I will look again once I have more time as I don't think I was thorough enough.

    I did happen upon a job lot of grosgrain though so may get that too.
  • Welcome back Flourgirl Glad to hear that you had a good time and you really had good weather didnt you ? Makes a nice change for UK ;)

    Poo! I've just lost a mega post so this my be briefer please forgive me if I miss anything.

    Hogshead - Have you tried Crafty Ribbons? They sometimes have bargain bags - I think I saw a 3mm one recently.

    Bunbun - Sorry you've not been well hope you feel better soon. Cutting out dairy is tough as it's not as simple as milk & cream is it? Is it to help with the migraines? I had missed you on here but not quite got the point of issuing an APB!

    Lizalloareds - 'fraid so. Blogging is much easier once you've set one up and it's no way as hard as you might think & you can always shout for help on here.

    Thanks for the fairy link Thrifty.

    Afternoon - Hope people are getting some sun somewhere in the UK!!! It's overcast and drizzling here!! It's quite warm though.

    Just been to the Range and had a lovely little shop - got some fimo, so 6 x 6 paper pads, some reduced silhouette fairy stamps and some shrink art plastic that looks interesting!!!!

    Gemm - the fimo is cheaper at the Range than it is on ebay @ £1.79 each. The packs of different colours are also very cheap.

    Flourgirl - nice to see you back and glad to hear you have had a lovely sunny holiday!!

    Right - I'm off to glaze some iced buns and bake them - Fimo ones again!!
