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!!

Thanks PONR, my nearest Range is quite a way (says she who travelled 1.5 hours yesterday to get some card :rotfl:) so dont think I will be able to convince OH I need to go there very soon! is it a lot cheaper than ebay or just a bit? also, do you have to buy different colours or can you buy plain and colour it yourself? if so what do you colour it with? sorry as you can see I am a complete Fimo dummy, need one of those 'for dummies' books!!

Hiya - they are about £1.86 on ebay so might be cheaper for you to get them there. I have tried to get a good variety of colours and then I mix them to get lighter or darker but sometimes the colours don't always come out how you want them to!!! You could paint them but not sure how it would look or if the paint would peel off or not. I put a glossy glaze on mine.
