Hi everyone. I haven't been around in such a long time, sorry, have been really busy getting married and getting a new job. Anyway, I want to get back into crafting and have just had a promotion so hubby said I could get myself a Cuttlebug for being so clever!!!!! Could someone point me in the right direction? I would probably like one that comes with some embossing folders and dies. Thanks.

:eek: so your priorities were to desert us to get married and a new job!!! :eek: good on you!! Congratulations on both counts, nice to see you back :j :j

Not sure where the best price for a cuttlebug is at the minute, but my advice would be to go for a green one as they come with all of the cutting boards you need to get started. I believe the pink ones don't!
I absolutely love my cuttlebug. Craft Superstore have the cuttlebug and the Big shot at the same price £54.95 I love my cuttlebug and sometimes I do wish I had gone for the big shot but I believe they are a lot bigger so take up more space. Cuttlebug folds down so is smaller. As for dies you can pick them up quiet cheaper on ebay :j

Morning all ... I apologise as I haven't had time to catch up on blogs for a couple of days. Blogger keeps deleting people I want to follow, Gemm your posts never show up when you have made a new post in my feed on google reader?? any ideas anyone? or is anyone having the same problem of Blogger deleting people you are following?

Morning Rusty! a few other people have had this problem with my blog too, grr, we have so far found that un-following and re-following me seems to fix the problem?

As for blogger in general, it's been a right game recently, it will constantly not let me leave comments, when I try to upload pics it randomly just doesnt work, not helpful when you're trying to do a last minute post to enter a challenge or for a DT card! I never remember it being this problematic before??

I've migrated over to google reader for reading posts as I like how it shows you what you havent read yet, they could definitaly make some improvements though!

hope everyone has a good day whaver you're up to!

Thank's ali.b.123 for the compliments - The sirdar pattern is 9224 - It's a lovely pattern. I made one a few months ago for a friend and have just had a request to knit her another one as it's had so many compliments. My MIL has also requested one for christmas....better get cracking x

Ali - I know exactly what you mean about only interested in craft!

Rusty - I am having trouble with blogger too. Pictures and posts dont show up and I cant comment on some. Also having the same problem as Gemma with it not recognising photos I am uploading. I keep changing between firefox and internet explorer and between them manage to solve most of the problems, but it is a hassle!

Scatty - thanks for the freebie. For some reason the thanks button is missing from your post! It seems to be there on all the rest

Flourgirl - thanks for those freebies, alot to look through!

I have tried that several times, I keep on just losing you!! ... I love google reader and find it so much better to use that than the one on blogger. I have a Blog app on my iPhone so I can post on the move!! its dead good

Try and use Google Chrome. Personally for me this is the best browser.

Thanks for the freebies

Morning ladies!

PONR - that is some awesome stash there - just hope you can find a home for it all!

Popkins - it's lovely to see you back here. Sorry to hear about your fibro though.

I think I'll be giving the NEC a miss this year - I went to the Artisan Show a while back and seriously think I've got all the stash I really need for now! Just need to find my mojo so I can actually use some of it!

Tiny Pablo - welcome back and congrats on being married.

morning ladies - can i have your values opinion please on this card:


He was made as a birthday card but i have had a couple of comments left about him in relation to christmas.... is it too christmassy for a bday card?

I think its the scarf but without it he looks naked!!

Morning all. I've been having problems with blogger too but I have google chrome in the work and I've discovered if I use that rather than internet explorer everything works alot better. The followers still don't show up on the pages but everything else works. Google reader seems to work better with it too. I take it cos they're all google... don't know if that helps anyone but I thought I'd mention it (Snap Rusty)

Rusty Can you help - in internet explorer there is a menu options that lets you send a page link by email - how do you do it in google chrome? at the moment I'm keeping an email open and copying and pasting the web address - is there a quicker way?

Thanks for all the freebie links.

:T Welcome back Tiny Pablo Huge Congratulations!!:T:T:T

Hello Agatha Misty

KMS sorry I haven't emailed you yet, I promise I will get my finger out and do it today.

CT I meant to say RM never did deliver the ribbon but it's ok don't worry about sending me more. Our postman is terrible - if he only has one letter for our close he doesn't bother climbing the stairs and quite a lot of my mail goes missing. :mad:

That's my tea-break over better get back to work.
