Christina, if using an inkjet printer the ink will run when varnishing. You will need to either seal it (hairspray gives mixed results) or have it printed on a laser printer

Omo I have used both an eraser and lead on stiff zips. Wd40 may work, but it will stain fabric if in contact

Christine welcome just had a quick peep at eBay and amazon sellers seem to be writing on plain terramundi but I can't find a plain one that you could decorate! Linky that is your mission if you choose to accept it I will be back in a bit for a proper catch up xxx

I am feeling very unlinky :rotfl: but I have found a ceramic money box on EBay that you can have personalised. The number is 251252400810. Not exactly a do your own terramundi pot, but it's worth a look. x

Evening everyone, had a lovely dinner at my DS with DN and DN, kids made me laugh and giggle all night as usual :rotfl:
NANAMIA heehee a bit embarrassing but i am reading the second book in the Fifty Shades trilogy, i dont see what all the hype was about but i am a bit ocd ive started so i have to finish the set. Have you ever read any of Alexander McCall Smith - Ladies Detective Agency books? They are very easy going, i used to love reading them, but have got a bit behind on the series now. Oh dear, do you think he just said it to shock her and get a reaction if he has been shut out? Hope they both sort it out, hope you arent doing too much again

CHRISTINAF hello and welcome, i could only think maple syrup! But what about a travel book on Canada, or something to do with a canadian ice hockey team etc.
OMO dont know if it works but i was brought up with the wives tale of rubbing a candle up and down a zip to make it easier to zip up????
