LOL Georgiegirl very MSE! Starving for your art !! :rotfl::rotfl:

cazarol - it's Three

CT - thanks for your lovely comment, the paper is from my local craft store and costs a barginous 15p per sheet (sadly I now have to get blue or grey as I had the last sheet for that project). If you want any just shout and I'll see what I can do.

Flourgirl - sorry I missed Willows win, but a huge congrats to her.

Well domination of the dining room table is looking less and less likely! I'm still trying to spend my Simon Says Stamp Win basket was upto $180 so weeded it down to a more realistic level and then have found some other bits I fancy! Whilst doing this I seem to have consumed 1/2 a bottle of Bailey's:o:rotfl:

PONR - thanks for your lovely comment, do want me to cut a few for you? or measure the die to see if it goes through the Cuttlebug?

The - Wife glad that's what you were looking for. I have bookmarked her as a fave as there is loads of Disney stuff as well.

Ooohh if you don't mind cutting me a few that would be lovely. If you are able to measure the die as well that would be fab and if it will fit through the bug it can go on my 'wish' list. Your card was so beautiful, the colours were perfect also.

Thank you for your offer, really kind of you x

I very much have my MSE head on - I've saved on heating bills by staying in bed all day, I've saved on washing powder by not getting dressed (and not dirtying clothes), I've saved on food bills, by not eating anything except a stale piece of home made bread (toasted), and I've saved £172.23 by buying sizzix stuff in the sale.

I have not, unfortunately, saved P&P because spending over £60 does not mean you get it for free, so that's £6.94 I would rather not have spent.

It does also mean I will save on the grocery shopping for the rest of the month because I'm not sure I can afford to eat now so if somebody would like to send me a food parcel I'll be very appreciative:beer:

Oooh you sound like me - I am still in pj's, need to shower and put clean ones on in a moment!! I had stomach ache last night and this morning so that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!!!!

I placed an order with Sissix also - mine came to £28.xx inc postage but I think I got 17 dies for that, one or 2 were sets also so I think the postage was not so bad split down. I still object to paying it though!!!! I'm glad I didn't order before as they had reduced the dies again so they were very cheap!!!

I ordered a Sugar Nellie on ebay a few days back also!!! Does anyone have the Marianne butterflies - I love them but thought I read that Marianne dies don't cut very well and you have to pick the bits out - does anyone know if this is correct??

I have now got up, made myself another cuppa, cleaned a kitchen cupboard and about to list all the stuff I took out so that I can do some menu planning so that I can report back like a good litttle MSE'R to the grocery challenge thread

I'm a new sizzix owner, so I'm a little excitable. I have a couple of cuttlebug embossing folders which work fine, but I also had free with a magazine, an embossing plate, which apparently needs an extra mat. I did have a thought, which has, in fact, been confirmed by a YouTube video that a kitchen silicon mat can be utilised for this very purpose - As I happen to have a couple in the cupboard (not the one cleaned) I am thinking I might have to experiment later Has anybody else done this?

I have one they are a little tricky to get out usually run mine through twice which seems to help then slip my knife under the butterfly and pop it out that way oh and I use two shims of card under the die, with mine I don't pull all the little bits out of the die afterwards as I find they fall out after a couple of cuts

Thanks for that - I think they can go on my Wish List as they are lovely!!!

Happy new year everyone. Have just had a huge meal so am struggling to keep my eyes open

It was me with the gems but can't remember who the seller was - came from Hong Kong but they're not self adhesive. I use the sheets of micro dots to attach them. Wil go have a look
