Love your card Pamela.


Thanks Chrissie

Hi all,hope you are all well
Chrissie,i dont have the foil it machine but do have a craft dragon,it was a learning curve for me and there were times when i wanted to throw it out the window but i contacted craft dragon for advice and now i love it,you can hot foil,set rhinestones and ink stamp with it but i know they are going to bring out loads more attachments so it is future friendly and it's british made.
Copic's still not arrived,a bit annoyed now,supposed to be coming by citipost so have no tracking details,will have to give it until the end of the week before calling c+c,hopefully wont have to.
Pauline,what set of copic's did you order? I just ordered the 36 set as i dont have any of those colours,will take my collection up to 67 pens.
Graham and Dan still not talking,Mel and i went to Dan's this afternoon and had a lovely time playing with Izzy,sitting in the garden catching some rays,Izzy asked for grandad,i felt really bad then.Wish they would sort things out.
I sold some more stuff this evening,another £40 to go towards paying off my c+c account so i'm pleased with that,my craft room does'nt seem to have any more space though!
Need to get some sleep so will say goodnight now

Hi all!!,very quiet the last day or so,expect you are all enjoying the sunshine
My copic's still have not arrived so i called c+c only to be told that they have only been dispatched today!,not impressed,hoping they come by the weekend but doubtful,then 2 days bank holiday next week I am babysitting on saturday at my son's and thought i could have a go at some colouring in while i have the chance,just have to use what i already have i suppose.
Gina,glad you got your imagine working,they are so temperamental.
Anyway,need to get to the bank before it closes so will say bye for now,hope everyone is well!

Evening all,
Its been a lovely day here in Somerset yet again, although we had about 30 mins of rain, it seemed to clear the air a bit!!
Hope every who is going away for the bank holiday has a great time and the weather is kind - shame it wasnt last weekend like it usually is because the weather would have been fantastic! We are holding a 'street' party on the park on Sunday afternoon/evening so are now getting ready for that. This is always one of the busiest bank holidays of the year for us, so doubt i will get much crafting time ! Cannt grumble really because i get quite a lot during the quieter months!!

We have changed the fairy lights that go around our bar to red / white & blue ones, which looks great and i am off to find some crowns and the like on the cricut to cut some vinyl out for the windows!

I keep seeing things on C&C that i fancy then think to myself - but you can do that on the cricut if you set your mind to it!! but i never seem to - so do you give in and buy or take yourself to task and use the gypsy or cricut etc and do what you should do??

Have a great weekend all! What you doing to celebrate the Jubilee? anything? or nothing?

Ang

Good afternoon all,hope you are all well today
Still no sign of my copic's,at least i know they are on the way i suppose.
My mum had her biopsy this morning,hav'nt heard how she is yet,i hope it all went well,she is nearly 82 years old,my aunt went with her for some support,wish i could have been there for her
Graham and Dan still having nothing to do with each other,i wish one of them would make the first move,Graham preferably as he sort of started it but dont think either will back down yet,my mum said she wishes she could bang their heads together,would'nt do any good
I am not feeling very happy at the moment,too many things going on that are making me sad.
Graham has been saying for weeks that he is going to get a job but dont think he's made much of an effort,i seem to be doing everything and having all the stress too!
Anyway,sorry for being miserable,need to get some job's done in the house before i start the tea

Hi all. Totally agree re clearouts. Mine has done me a world of good I got rid of a shedload of papers/cards that I've had for yonks (gave them to our Tracy) as I can print most stuff on Imagine now. Agree re buying the readymade stuff on C&C - I'm also "converting" my stash into Cricut makes.

Ann - I'm so sorry you're feeling low. To be honest, there's nothing anybody can do re Graham and your son - it'll have to run its course and I'm sure they'll get together in the end. I had the same problem with Roger and Mark. They pressed each other's buttons something chronic and came very close to blows on a few occasions. Now they're apart they get on much better. Hope it sorts itself out soon for you

Well, bank account is now sorted out. Everything seems to have been transferred. Don't you just hate it.

Bye for now. Tea calling.

Hi everyone
Ann- So sorry to hear you are piggy in the middle, boys will be boys and Mum always ends up in the middle...I hope they resolve their issue soon sweetie

Pauline - Glad all is well with your new Bank, I've been with them for a few years myself and am delighted with their service How's your foot ? Big hugs

For everyone doing a clear out...fancy helping me I'll pay you in tea/coffee cake and biscuits

Hope everyone is well
Hugs
Adele

Hi all - a bit grey here today and hopefully it'll rain really bad after about 8pm tonight when my so-called "neighbour" has one of her orgies in the back garden! We can but hope.

Ann - I also sent for the 36 pack of Copics - have yours come yet. Sure hope so.

Not doing much today. I reckon it's a night with Harry Potter tonight, along with some popcorn, as there's nothing at all on TV that doesn't relate to the Jubilee, and I'm certainly not interested in that!

Adele - thanks for asking about my foot - it's still attached and damn painful. Got an appointment for ultrasound on 14th June, to see what the other lump is about, so should know somat after that. Still on 24/7 pain relief that's not doing anything at all.

Bye for now.

I posted a card on the cards thread this morning after finishing it but this afternoon no crafting as I've been enjoying the lovely scenes in London. I guess I have to admit I'm a royalist but there are 2 of them I dislike intensely. Although I won't say I bet you can guess I'm cooking now but I can hear what's going on.

It's not such a bad day here although it's very cold.

Hope you are all having a good weekend.

Hugs

Pamela

Hi Pauline, do you like the Cameo and use it a lot?
Pamela

Hi Pauline, I have to say I do like the sound of it, I've read reviews online and its impressive. I love the idea that you can cut anything and not be tied to carts. It's worrying when you read on here about how short a life the Cricut can have and after all they are far from cheap. It seems they are not well known for after sales service either once the warranty is gone. I should have read more before buying. Goodness knows what I'd have to sell before affording another machine, dread to think. Anyway when I try to sell I don't have much luck, even at half the price of new for a barely used item.

Have a good day.

Hi there. Well dun you

If you go to the Silhouette.com website, they give freebies away every week. Have you registered your Cameo yet - if not, do it now. Then, go to the Silhouette website and in the search box (top right), type in "Original 50" and it'll give you lots of freebies. Then open your Cameo software on screen, go to "File" and "check recent downloads" and download all the ones you chose. Easi peasi eh?

Have fun

Hi Ann - so sorry you're feeling so low Don't know what to advise re your Imagine/E2 or the prices if you sell one of them. Which would you miss the most is my question ??? And sell the other one, but as for price - haven't got a clue.

Is it you, Ann, who's going to Florida later? Or have I got my wires crossed again. If so, somat to look forward to. I've just paid for EuroDisney this morning and that hurt my bank account. Had to declare Roger's BP on the medical insurance again so another £10. Should be good this year though, as it's the 20th anniversary.

As for Graham and your son - well - we all know how stubborn men can be and there's no talking to them eh?

Is it possible for you to find an outlet to sell your cards ??? Might be an idea. Would peeps at work be interested?

As for me - I'm sooooo glad the Jubilee is well and truly over - hopefully Am sick to death of all the hype. Might get a bit of decent telly now - albeit inbetween Euro 2012 Football

Bye for now

Hi everyone, hope you all enjoyed the long weekend? I had my parents down and my FIL which as nice we had a BBQ on Saturday and then Sunday mum,me and the grils trooped off to London to try and see the boats knowing full well we wouldn't see a thing, but as its only half an hour on the train we went to soak up the atmosphere i felt it was important to make it memorable for the girls as they would probably never see anything like it again as the schools have done nothing like when I was at school for the silver jubilee!! anyway we didn't see a thing but enjoyed the day and made a date with mum to go back again to take her to some museums or knowing mum it'll be one she can stand for hours taking it all in, baffles me a bit once you've looked at something you've looked at it no need to stand there for hours! but each to their own I say!!!

Anyway, sorry to hear of your troubles Ann hope things improve soon. Just a thought about your finances can you not send the felting machine back and get a full refund seen as though it's not used, also I would sell the E2 first I think probably more demand for it and you have a little cricut dont you so if you keep the imagine you have the larger size and a smaller one. Also I've sold loads of little bits and pieces on a certain site and made quite a bit of cash it's amazing how much people will pay for stamps and things obviously not as much as you did originally but close especially the Stampin up sets and lilly of the valley etc. Just a thought.

Hope everyone else is doing well? Pauline how is the embroidery going it is addictive once you get started!!!

Afternoon everyone,hope you are having a good day
It's a very dreary day here,raining and dull,british weather at it's best perfect for crafting.
I called c+c and they said my copic's will be here by the end of the week but post has been already today and no sign,i am so fed up waiting for them now.
Elizabeth,thanks for the suggestion about sending back the felting machine,i might just do that,if i got rid of the E2 i would still have an expression as i have a pink one that Graham bought me last year when i was'nt very happy with the E2,also have the black create and imagine so would be covered.
Pauline,i think you are right about keeping the imagine,hopefully i will be able to keep all my machine's.
I had the Hey diddle diddle cart for sale on a certain selling website but time is almost up and no sale,i am surprised as it is a lot cheaper than the other person selling the same cart,obviously it's not a cart in demand,got my son to put it on his account and he does'nt have 100% good feedback so that may be another reason it has'nt sold,might get him to put it on my account instead and see if that makes a difference.
Anyway all,not much else to put right now so i shall wish you all a great day and happy crafting!
