hi i am glad i have found you again

Hi all,
Well done Pauline - i followed the link and all works correctly. Might need to bump it up every now and again just until everyone has found this forum.

Question - i have to log in every time i come on the forum - is that the same for everyone?

Those who still have the Imagines - does anyone know if you are cutting out one of the standard built in shapes can you put a coloured border around it? I thought it was possible but now cannt seem to be able to do it.

Take care

Blimey - this is gonna be fun. Seems to drop off the page very quickly

Morning all!! We were on page 2 so come on UK cricut users!! Keep us bumped up so we dont dissapear
I have a really niggling cough this morning,need more coffee i think
My craft room is calling me,have some cuts to do for orders,be back later

Havent had chance to watch any TV today, been packing and doing lots of last minute stuff - no matter how well you plan things theres always something last minute to do.

This page moves to page 2 very quickly, will have to try and keep an eye on it more often otherwise we will disappear into ciberspace!!

If it moves too quickly, maybe we should consider going back to the Imagine thread - after all, most of us still have the Imagine and/or carts?

Shall we take a vote - I can't keep up with the speed this thread falls off the page.

Hi Ann - I do have a set of sketch pens for the Cameo but not tried them yet. I did get a demo at NEC though and they were brill!

Am returning my Imagine to C&C as faulty! It doesn't print properly, not true colours and when it does print it's very grainy, so decided to cut my losses and get rid. Consequently I'm selling all my Imagine carts if anybody's interested, plus I have colour and black ink cartridges to get rid of as well. To be honest, I reckon the principle of the Imagine is great, but PC ran with it too quickly without testing it thoroughly, hence all the problems, endless updates etc. And now we hear they're discontinuing it in favour of a new machine - don't know how they'v got the cheek.

By for now. Puppy's tea calling

Morning all Hope everyone is well today.
I have had to phone in to work sick as yesterday i was stood on a chair cleaning my kitchen cupboards and the chair broke,i went flying but luckily nothing was broken on me! I have been awake half the night with pains in my back and legs,this morning my legs seem to be better but my back is killing me,no way i can work 7 hours in M so i am at home for the day,lost a pile of money but it cant be helped,cant replace your health.I sometimes get backache so always have some nurofen backpain tabs in the cupboard,have taken 2 but they are slow release so may take a bit to kick in.I will try and rest up today but have things to do in the house and i am not too good at sitting for long periods if stuff needs doing,one of my many faults
I got Mel's cards done last night,a Hello Kitty shaped card and one with Minnie Mouse on,i know she will be 21 but she is a huge Disney fan so i think she will like them.
I spoke to mum yesterday,she is full of a chesty cold and cough at the moment and did'nt sound very good,ofcourse she is a bit wary about what she can take with her being on so much prescription stuff,need to call NHS direct for advice but i dont suppose she will,or even her GP tomorrow.
It is bright and sunny here today although chilly,good for the time of year i think.
My ironing needs attention but i really just want to have a rest! What to do?!
Anyway all,must do something with myself or else i will take root on the settee

Hi all
Been out for our weekly jog/fast walk, getting slower but gotta keep doing it as is doing the weight loss good and then back for a lovely salmon lunch covered in butter but was gorgeous!!!
I am just waiting for my pen storage, collal glues and paper and have just ordered the perfect layers tools from a show today. I can never get my mats and layers right and trying to get the right size from Cricut is not easy! Am liking the pan pastels too but am resisting for now as need to save for Christmas. Just found out the boys are with me this year as their Dad is moving to Saudi somewhere and wont be about then. Just tried my gypsy with my Imagine and it seems to be working fine again. Hopefully I wont have to update for a while now! Phew!!

Hi Ann hope you are ok and I agree no standing on chairs its not good.

Pauline thanks for the list but I have all the same carts and ink is ok so far! I bet its such a relief for your foot to improve at last.

I would love to got to NEC, whats it like? The Exeter one is ok but not much new stuff there and very few demo's.

Happy crafting.

Susan

Evening all Thanks for the take care wishes ,my chair climbing days are well and truly over,learnt my lesson there.My back is still bad but feeling better than this morning.
I eventually got all my ironing done today,took forever as i had to keep stopping and i had let it pile up,also got my hair dye taking as i type,need to banish grey roots before Mel's meal tomorrow night
Anyone been watching X factor? I dont think anyone is outstanding this year but i do like Ella,what a set of pipes for a 16 year old,it's just started but i am recording as need to jump in the shower in a mo,will watch later,want to be all sorted before Downton Abbey comes on so i will be off.Take Care all x

You lucky lady - I wish I could wave back at you from over the fence

I'm returning my Imagine to the TV Channel I bought it from - it's not printing properly so I'm getting a refund, selling my cartridges and ink cartridges and moving on. I have my beloved Expression and the E2 that I can use my Imagine carts on (my faves that I'm not selling) so I'm a happy bunny. To be honest, I'm sick of updating and getting nowhere. The principle of the Imagine is brilliant - not problem is they didn't come up with the goods so to speak. I've so far sold 8 of my carts, so not doing bad eh?

Ann - how's the back today - bet you ache in places you didn't know you had You can come 'n do my ironing for me when you've finished if you like - I've got a right old pile, including the holiday stuff

Bye for now

Hi all,just got back from Bristol,went to Za Za Bazaar for Mel's birthday meal,far too much to eat and now feel incredibly large It was a great evening and everyone had a good time.
My back is a lot better today,still feel a twinge here and there but generally not too bad.
I just won a brand new set of sketch pens for the silhouette, on the famous auction site for £7.25 including postage,think i got a bargain there
My son Tez is off to Thailand in the morning for a 5 week touring holiday,i am getting up early to see him off,i will try not to get emotional but doubt if i will manage it,i'm sure he will have a great time and it will be a great experience but i am going to miss him dreadfully.
Now all we have to deal with is the funeral on thursday,never happy occasions but hopefully it wont be all miserable,we have been given strict instructions not to wear black,i know my SIL is wearing a red dress!
Anyway all,going to catch up with my soaps from tonight,then off to bed me thinks

Afternoon all Just a quick post as my 3 eldest grandaughters will be here in 15 mins for their tea,chaos will then be had
I got up at 6.30 am to see my boy off,i managed not to cry ,i think it was only as i was so tired that i did'nt cave in He is on the plane to Bangkok at the moment and wont get there until very late this evening(06.15 Bangkok time),i'm sure the time will go quickly and he will be back before you can say Jack Robinson! I wonder where that saying comes from?!
Mel is not feeling well today,not drink related as you might think She has had a cough for a few days along with half the nation i think, but she now has white spots on her tongue and back of her throat so i'm guessing at tonsillitis,she's got a doctors appointment at 3.40,i expect she will come home with anti biotics.
Mum has been given anti biotics too as she has a chest infection,as if cancer was'nt enough to deal with,she sounds very croaky on the phone so i've tried not to keep her chatting too much,hoping to go down at the end of the month when i have half term hols.
I had the mammogram yesterday,it was'nt as bad as i had expected although i had a bit of pain on the left side,just got to wait a fortnight for results now,not expecting anything sinister though.
Anyway,must go as the tribe will be here shortly.Take Care all x

Moring all,
Just thought I would say hi from gran c and found us on p3. Not easy keeping on p1
Ann hope the antibiotics help your mom

Take care all

Hello everyone, been away for a few days over the weekend so just got back into normal life now!!
went to the knit and stitch show at Alexander Palace yesterday and had a lovely day with my friend it is purely textiles (although a couple of paper craft stalls were there!!) and we both managed to spend a fair bit but got what we wanted and a bit extra.

I sold my E2 A last week and quite a few cartridges and although would have liked a little more for it got quite a good price am still selling things and have enough to get a cameo if I decide but have a lot of sewing projects I want to do for xmas presents and cards to start so am not going to get it straight away, am going to the NEC next month so shall take a good look if its there, might treat myself for xmas giving me yet another project to get to grips with in that horrible lull after the big day!!

Hope you are all ok and crafting away, we are doing a car boot sale on Sunday still trying to get rid of about 300 rubber stamps of my MIL'S plus all our junk!!
