Hi Gemm - I got a pack of 20 tiles with bales from an eBay seller in the US. When I'm at home I'll look out the details for you. I also bought some images from someone on Etsy (basically copied Fiddlefarts ideas exactly!) I found that some of the images bled in the glossy accents so did waste a few! If anyone wants any inch images let me know.

When do you find out about work?

oh thanks that would be fab can you PM me the sellers name when you look pls as it will prob get deleted off the board! I find out about work tomorrow morning, I'm just on my lunch hour at the moment! making the most of it browsing blogs and stuff lol

Rusty Hope you get your computer sorted. I had XP installed on my new computer (which came without an operating system). We'd only purchased XP a few months earlier and our computer guy said he'd stick with it. He's stuck with it himself as he knows all about the probs with Vista and Windows 7. He thinks XP is a fab system and wont change. I have Vista on my laptop but I don't use the laptop for anything other than putting my crafty stuff on, lots of pics and I refer back to them for inspiration etc. It's there as a backup if ever the big computer has a wobbly but it wouldn't be used from choice. So I don't really know how Vista works. I was going to get a new printer and install it on the laptop so I could print digis off in my loft where I craft but you've got me wondering now!

I prefer XP over vista, we have windows 7 aswell on the Revo which I bought for OH for christmas, but now on both laptops we have XP, however I could print fine on vista, I think it could just be that my laptop needs service pack 3, as the computers at OH's work have XP and he says thats what I need, so as it is STILL installing I will have a go this afternoon if it doesnt take too long! Grrr

glittermum I've just been blog hopping and seen your stall, it looked fab! where did you get the glass tile pendants from if you dont mind me asking? thanks Xx

Gemm, nice to see you back, cant say anything that the others havent said so sending you cyber hugs xxx I think Craftyjuju and also Sylphraven use the glass tiles so may be worth seeing if one of them can tell you aswell as I know glittermum is always a busy bee and only pops on occasionally!

Well I am not impressed, I went to hang my washing out as the sun is shining and to my right the sun is bright and the clouds are fluffy with blue skys, to my left the clouds are black (no not grey I really do mean black and angry!!) so I brought in the washing again and went to put it in the tumble dryer, saw what I thought was string til I got my head nearer to look and it was a dead mouse :mad: I have takn a picture to send to OH cause he thinks it is hilarious that this madam of a cat keeps bringing me presents, especially when he isnt here so I have to get rid of half chewed up animals :mad:

Hassy - I have got your PM, will reply after lunch xxx

Sorry to snip you.

:eek: at the dead mouse. I hope it was all there! Our cat does bring us pressies too but I think she's got used to us not letting her in if we know she's got something in her mouth.

Last year she took to bringing home baby rabbits as there are some wild rabbits live very close. I'd previously found a dead one under the dining table but the latest ones she'd very carefully carried home by the scruff of the neck as if they were kittens. Very cleverly they played dead so as soon as we saw her and opened the door she dropped them and they scuttled off while we held on to her.

She brought a live rat earlier this year when OH was out. Stupid me didn't realise it was a rat, thought it was a big daddy mouse :rotfl: and I was chasing it round the kitchen to try and catch it. Little b*gger bit me but didn't break the skin (I was wearing rubber gloves). I managed to get it out of the house but then had to go around collecting rat poo, lordy can they poo! That should have told me it was a rat, different shape and size to a mouse's poo.

My DS's cat used to bring seagulls and adult rabbits, he was quite a character and totally fearless, we do miss him.

Rusty - being a bit naughty and posting at work - it often won;t let me so I'm taking advantage!

:eek:

My mums cat has brought a few live baby rabbits home in the past! along with live birds (which he lets go to fly all round the conservatory), and copious amounts of mice. not as bad as my neighbours cat who brought her home a koi carp!!

and my mum wonders why I decided our cats would be house cats :rotfl:

haha :rotfl:so did I I'm glad its not just me that has a few that the colour runs on, I thought it was my printer & type of paper! I've bought a thicker paper & that helps, I do tend to find if I do my own images certain blues & pinks run alittle!
I got the tiles from this seller (prob the same one ) http://stores.ebay.co.uk/My-Craft-Dream I want to order some more so am saving at the mo

Hope you don't mind me asking which sheets did you buy? I bought a couple & have had to stop yself buying more :rotfl:
