    Hi all,

    Been a bit manic here again, just had a brief flick through the posts but not much is sticking in my head, I spotted some comments about blending colours and which to blend and I tagged some of you in facebook in a photo of a colour wheel which I use lots :) ... it really does help. Most of it is trial and error but I have branched out to loads of other colours now :) just waiting on my final 30 sketch pens to be delivered to the shop (coming from germany!) and then I have all the colours from copic! Hope they don't release any more too soon lol

    Hope everyone is ok. Sorry I havent got too much to say, think I have an allergic reaction to something cause I am itchy and full of lumps!

    Went to the SECC today, didn't go mad this time I bought envelopes DST and a couple of mags

    I didn't think it was as good as usual, the price difference between stalls was really bad. And what is with Distress Inks everywhere? Didn't stop me buying lots of pretties though, and still had money left lol.

    Hope everyone is well xx

    I've been a bit rubbish at keeping on top of the challenge of Winter Not Christmas :o I've been busy at work and then there was all the excitement of the SECC (where I managed to spend a good amount...!)

    I know that Craftylouise has done some cards for it, can any others make themselves known? I'll leave it running until Friday night and draw it then :D

    Could it be your nice shiny new copics???? :eek::eek: :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Liz I didn't go this year but I took OH with me last year because he is a human calculator - anytime I picked something up he said ... " nope you need to get that from so and so cos it was £x amount cheaper there" He saved me a fortune (and much more than his ticket - oh and he bought me lunch :D result all round)

    Noooooo its definately not the copics lol ... I would have known well before then!! ... am still suffering now! :( mainly itchy now, the lumps have gone!

    Peppop Paul would happily come with me to shows, but I think my problem now is I can get most of what I need at just a little above trade prices, so everything seems too expensive lol .... got some nesties not long ago, and the £12 something price tag was nice in comparison to the £15-!6 one it usually has!
