sorry snipped!

Not had much luck have you? I suppose it depends on how much space you have, at least you know the Cuttlebug folds up. I sometimes wish I had bought the Big Shot. Its the same with the Craft Robo, you really need somewhere to have it out all the time so that it does get used, I dont think I wold use mine if I had it in the cupboard. Saying that when I do use it I usually cut loads at once, just lately its all been in white card and then I can colour it to match with a promarker. I hope you manage to sell it at a good price.

Nope good luck was never my middle name lol ... I guess I should be used to it after 28 years! lol ... I don't have the space for mine, seems pointless it sitting there unused when I spent good money on it! I love the fact the cuttlebug folds up like you say, but this V2 is rubbish, the first design I found much better, I keep thinking about going back to an original one, but then I think I could go for a newer machine! so confused as to which way to go! Going to ring Oyster stamps and see if they have definately booked a courier for today, as if not there is a craft show on sunday near me and I will drop it back and ask them to take a grand calibur for me to look at!!

For anyone in the NE area, there is a show on at Gateshead international stadium this sunday! Tickets are £3.50 on the door, details here

Morning ladies hope everyone is ok today, sun is still shining here although it's cooler today.
Nice to see you back Rusty sorry to hear about your cuttlebug problem, hope you manage to sell your craft robo for a good price.
Well my plans to have a crafty day have all gone to pot as I have Aimee & Rhys home sick today one with ear ache and the other being sick:(

Hi Rusty

So sorry that you vanished from my list I think I got hacked cause a lot of people vanished from my list. Feel free to re add me to you list or send me a PM with your name and I will re add you. My facebook friends list is being over taken by people I do not know lol all because I need extra neighbours to move forward on Garden's of Time its so addictive.

Marg sent you a PM, hope I have done it correctly as this connection today is playing silly beggers with me.

Freebie downloads would be fab but my printer ink is on its last legs but I may get some sheets out of it.

Hi all

I have got very behind with the blog over easter. Hope everyones well.

I've just noticed I won KMS's Candy! Thank you so much! I love getting goodies in the post!

Mary - Sounds like there is alot going on in your house at the moment, sending you big hugs.

Wifey - I know just what you mean about desperately needing something, that then sits in a box for ages!

Welcome back Rusty

The kids are back to school again today, for two days! Then they are off again for the royal wedding (which they say they wont be watching!) and bank holiday Monday.
Hugs to all.xx

Hi ladies - sorry I haven't been around for ages - life's been a bit hectic here - although things seemed to have calmed down a bit the last few days! Elliot is behaving a little bit better and isn't as clingy - so I've been managing to get a few things done - I even made a card although it took me two weeks!!! Matilda is doing really well - she sleeps so well through the night - I really am so lucky!! She's putting on plenty of weight too and s such a little angel!
Thanks so much for all my birthday cards - I really appreciate them - especially since I am so useless at sending them out myself - they really cheered me up! I will blog them all soon - along with my fabulous nappy cake and baby cards - my b-i-l has borrowed my camera again and all my pics are on there - although he has been given instructions to bring it back today!
Speaking of my nappy cake - I dismantled it yesterday and found some gorgeous Minnie Mouse outfits inside - I was really chuffed!!! So once again thanks to all that contributed and special thanks and hugs to Rusty for organising everything (again). Everyone that saw my cake commented on how lovely it was!
I finally plucked up the courage yesterday and applied to be a member of a new design team. I'd been considering it for a fortnight and at last decided that I would go for it - I thought maybe it would force me into making more cards, anyway after all that I wasn't picked - so I've got a sulk on today.
Anyway I hope everyone is okay - I haven't read through the pages that I've missed so I haven't got a clue what's been going on!

Yoo hoo ladies, hope you are all well and have some sunshine were you are!!

Rusty - :wave:
Dragonllew - hope you children are better soon
Mellissa - glad things are settling down at home and if you are getting a decent nights sleep I think you can cope with anything. Good luck with your dt position xx

Cant wait to see Kates dress on Friday - although I am the only one getting excited my boys (and hubby) just dont get it!! Aah well I might ask my brothers girlfriend if I can watch it with them she had said to my mam she'll prob be in tears all the way through - hmm sounds like me!! I love a good wedding - since I've had the kids I'll cry at anything
Right I think I'll go and see if I can get my mojo up and running not made anything for ages xx
