Have a safe trip back PONR - hope your bags are underweight with all that stash you have. Bet you can't wait to come back and have a play with it all!

Does anyone know what company makes this die-cut? It would be perfect for the sweet bags I want to do this year, like reindeer poo, snowman noses, christmas kisses etc and I reckon that it would be worth while buying the die.

Thanks

CT I have that die, would you like to borrow it? I can pop it in the post or I can cut some for you. I also found some of the £land gift tags if you would like them.

Flourgirl beat me to it - I found it here

I've just posted on the bl*gger help forum about some of the pictures disappearing from my bl*g - if I hear anything back with a solution I'll let you know. I'm getting really fed up with it now :mad:

Thank you so much for the offer Karen. I've just looked on ebay and bought one for just over £5.00, as I think I will be needing quiet a few, particularly if I can make up some sweet bags to sell at my friends toddler group, with my cards.

I'm off to town tomorrow to have a look in the poundshops, so if I can't find any I'll let you know, but thanks again for the offer. You are fab!

I love this thread!

Evening all

Tomsmum I will keep everything inside out for your OH and am sending you big vibes. You must be so worried

Crafty Granny Hope you are feeling ok and your legs do not let you down again, also inside out thoughts for your family.

PONR safe journey, hope you get all your crafting goodies home safe too

Myz Huge but gentle cuddles coming your way

We are half expecting sleet and snow here tomorrow and the next day so its cozy up in the craft room time I think. Its only October I am not ready for winter yet.
Hugs and plaudits to those I have not mentioned by name (not intentional just senior brain )

craftygranny - I did laugh at imagining your dad charging for going to the loo!

He charges me 20p for a cuppa because he says sugar is expensive and i don't even have sugar. I buy him a 5kg bag of sugar, and 1100 pg tips t bags for his b'day and xmas for a laugh and to stop him moaning and they last him till the next bag but i still have to pay my 20p cos he's only a poor pensioner. his words not mine . :rotfl:

Adam has his camera check on thurs to see the hole and the actual size before they decide how to operate. It's his and danny's 19th b'day today but they won't go out until the weekend as they are worrying.

By eck and I thought scots were tight fisted :rotfl: I expect yorkies come a close second :T ( I was born in Armthorpe and moved to Scotland when I was11 so have a foot in both camps)

louby - when is the last day for buying tickets? I don't get paid until Friday

Gemma - have put your prize pack in the post, but forgot to say it was from me (Did it quite last last night!) so hopefully you're not expecting any more stash parcels

ooh thankyou, I love surprises! And no, not expecting anything else, shame, maybe I'll have to let my elves on the loose

Thank you CG - got some packing to do today but cannot work up the interest to do it lol - hate packing. I wish I had a packing fairy that I could magic up to do it for me!!!

I have one of those, it's called a husband :rotfl: seriously, he wouldnt trust me to pack anyway, he's so meticulous about it, I'd do it wrong somehow (just like I load the dishwasher wrong? *shruggy smiley face thing*)

Have a good trip tomorrow, I can't WAIT to see pics of your stash

just in case you havent noticed - Craftygranny you have won my blog stash price guessing competition! well done, you were only $10 out!! will get your inkpad in the post to you :T

I think it was Wanna b rich posted on my blog a few days ago whether I reckoned the Tim Holtz book was worth getting - I'd say it really depends on how much of a beginner you are to inking and distressing techniques. I was a total newbie (apart from occasionally roughing up the edges of paper with my scissors!) so it really helped me, saying that it was a bit of whimsical buy as I was on holiday and it was cheaper - I'm not sure I'd have paid UK Prices for it IYSWIM. It's quite thin, 77pages, but there are some good techniques in there and it's a nice thing to have, but when reading it you do find yourself 'needing' all the extra products he talks about :rotfl: fab marketing hey!

There are some great videos on his website (most of them are in the book too) even if you arent into distressing or inking, the vids are quite good to watch hope this helps! Am I the only one who thinks that Tim is quite nice to look at? lol
