I don't use tape runners either - sorry - I use the DST from £1 shop mostly it's about an inch wide.

I have the x-cut guillotine and it does exactly what it's supposed to although it has developed a squeak in the last couple of weeks but it could be in shock coz I've been using posh papers :rotfl:

Finally have the decorator coming tomorrow - have had the cistern and some skirting replaced in the cloakroom so far this week - think I have ODed on glue and gloss fumes though We will get this house fixed up and on the market................... is like living in a very long episode of 60 minute makeover now nowhere is tidy and it's driving me barmy

I have the same Purple Cow one that Carol has (and got it from Costco too!) and I really like it.

I haven't had any time for crafting this week and it's making me cranky I'm going to make calendars and cards tomorrow night, so help me

TomsMom - I'm so very sorry to hear your sad news and send my condolences to you and your family.

Beautiful post The Wife brought a tear to my eye, still thinking of you and your family TomsMom x

Have loads of stuff to make, i have lost a couple of stamps and some ribbon, so I will be tidying my craft room over the weekend and probably end up buying more storage if I can work out how to squeeze it in

Macma I have the x-cut although I must be doing something wrong as I can't get on with it and usually use my ruler and scissors

Can anyone recommend anywhere for cheap black card, I want quite thick card if possible A4 but am getting myself confused .... it's not hard these days :rotfl:

Morning everyone, dry and chilly here today

I have used the tape runners from the pound stall at the exhibitions and it's ok but i prefer the SU ones now, though they aren't cheap

kids are going bowling today so I might get a card made.

hugs to all

Thank you all so much for your lovely messages, I really do appreciate them.

Funeral is tomorrow, 21st. He asked for a non-religious funeral with no hymns or prayers and no-one to speak about him who didn't know him. So it's at Aberystwyth Crem (beautiful setting) and I have chosen some songs from his record collection and three poems. I have written a tribute and will try and say it myself, not sure if I will manage it but I have to try because I know he would have had no hesitation in doing it for me. We're very lucky as we live quite rurally there is no "production line" at the crem, we have a 45 minute slot which is the norm.

If you can spare a thought to send me some positive vibes tomorrow at 1.30pm to give me the strength to deliver the tribute I would be most grateful.

Thanks again for all your lovely messages of support.

TomsMom Please accept my deepest sympathies. I hope you and your family are doing as well as can be expected. I'm so sorry. You'll be in my thoughts tomorrow and I'll be sending you all the positive vibes I can. I'm sorry I haven't posted sooner, I've just logged back on today.
