  • Did you buy all the promarkers and distress inks?????:rotfl:

    LOL nope, not guilty! Although, I did get 1... All of 1...! :)

    I did get some of the buttons and pearls though, and stocked up on double sided (You can never have enuff!)

    Marg I hope you had a lovely concert, we have seen Kate many times, sounds like a good end to a perfect weekend.

    Sounds like its been a hectic time at the harrogate show, hope you all got lots of lovely stash to play with.

    Hello all!
    Well Harrogate was mad - I had 5 things on my list and got none of them - Ggggrrr.

    I wanted to buy a ream of card but that stall had all sold out of A4 when we got there, a new mat for my Expression - none to be found, a MS ATP set hwhich no-one had and 2 punches which again no-one had. We did buy lots of coloured card though and &son got his ice cream so he was happy. Popped into the Royal Armouries on the way home so all in all a noce day. We've been away in the campervan this weekend and what a lovely weekend it was for it, but now it's back to earth with a bump, getting ready for work tomorrow.

    Must crack on with Mum's Ruby Wedding invitations, she wants some clipart / a digi stamp on the inner leaf of the insert but we're having artistic differences about what it should look like.

    ali.b - no that one wasn't mine - must have been some other poor boy dragged there by his Mum - I'm kidding - he quite enjoyed himself especially watching the demos on art from the heart.

    I'm going to treat myself to a new printer - needs to be wi-fi - and be able to take card (obviously) - does anyone have any recommendations?

    DTB I use the Epson SX515W and it's really good. It's quick and the ink lasts for ages - the only thing I would say is that you need to use original ink - it doesn't like compatible ones.
