Morning all - really bright/cold here today but at least rain has stopped briefly.

Not much on today. Plan is to go to Meadowhell early Monday morning and get last minute Christmas pressies. Hope it's not busy, but shan't be there long.

Hi all
Its been a bit quiet on here lately you must all be busy getting ready for Christmas. I have been busy getting things ready for a Ceramics exhibition at college which is up and running now for three weeks. Fingers crossed I sell something at least. My thrown pots are looking better and better. I think I am finally getting the hang of it, which is exciting. Still got my essay to do! Dam it!! But my tutor thinks its coming along ok. I dont find writing stuff like that easy, it doesnt have to be handed in until January so have a bit of time to do it. Although I have also got to get my things ready for the end of year show next year too so its all go!

I have given in and ordered on of them other machines. Had been mulling it over for a while and seeing the Mini and how close I was to buying that its not much more money to get it really. I can sell my Create before Christmas now maybe get a bit more money for it than after. Might get rid of some of my Font carts too as I probably wont need them either maybe.

Am at Bideford Market tomorrow for a craft market from 12pm till 5pm so am looking out my warm clothes as its usually pretty cold in there. Not bought many Christmas pressies but probably just giving out money. Though both my sons have given me a long list of wants. My eldest wants clothes but will wait till he comes home to get them and the youngest wants computer stuff. I have some Tesco vouchers so might be able to buy something for him with them.

Hope you are all having a good weekends. Susan xx

Hi all,
It was my birthday today - had a great day new glass cutting mat, chocs, flowers, and of course my new machine - plus hubby did a great birthday meal for 9 of us - weather even managed to stay dry until tonight!

Have you all seen the new message at the top by PC about not discussing any other machine or products other than PC ones! Some interesting comments afterwards!

take care all

Afternoon everybody
Just added my pennorth worth on to that other thread. I had seen it!

That is why when I said I had ordered the other machine I didnt mention the name and yes Ann it is the one you mention! LOL My christmas pressie to me, cant wait.

Heidi Swapp gives out so much free stuff for that machine and I love HS stuff.

Just started my Christmas Cards. I am sending out made cards to family and friends that appreciate them and the rest gets bought cards. Just not the time in the day to do everybody's.

Happy Birthday Ang glad you had a lovely day. Let us know what you think of your new machine.

Hi Ann hope hubby is feeling better soon. Glad your Cricut is coming in useful.

Perhaps we will have to move our thread to another forum entirely that we can discuss anything we like without restrictions. The two peas one seems ok and it has an ipod app so can access on the go.

Did a Christmas Market yesterday and made a little bit of money. Am making more of my books as they seem to sell the best. I dont mind as I love making the books. Just sold a few things on eBay too so got to post them now. It all helps. More to put on eBay this week too.

Keep warm.

Susan

Have we moved? or is everyone busy?

Pauline - I think you have hit the nail firmly on the head!

Hope everyone is well.

Quick trip today upto midlands on business and back in the same day - sunshine all the way up and back until we got to Bridgwater - and yet again it was raining and apparently here at home we have had rain most of the day!! I read that they have had to bring in 16 extra pumps just to try to get rid of what water we have at the moment without any more, couple of villages are still cut off by road - people are using tractors and boats to get to the shops!
Madness, we don't seem to be able to cope no matter what the weather is in this country!

oh well take care

Ang

Hi All , I hope all of you are ok after the bad weather we have been getting. I was just wandering if any one could help i am now having to type in my password about 6 times before it will sign me in and getting fedup doing it any help as to how i can get this sorted would be great.

Hi all
At the moment I only use Facebook for the business - so will sort out a personal account and then join the group - hopefully later today.

As for the password - my account has been funny for the last few weeks, i put user name & password in - it states unknow but if i leave it a few seconds it then signs on! Crazy or what!

Its weird. I can only log In on my phone.

Susan,love your work,they look really professional I've never done anything like that.
Too quiet on here,where is everyone?!!
Graham bringing chinese home so i'm going for now,bye all

Hi Susan
I do not have face book just about cope with this site but the way it is going i am not visiting as often as i was , i am not realy a computer geek . I am just trying to get the boyslast bits for christmas then what i have not got is to bad it will only then be the food shopping to do, oh what joy .i normally do a mega shop at the begining of dec so only need the fresh stuff each week but not done it as yet as youngest went down with a bug luckly it is not contages so in to school he went , they are getting very strict with keeping children off if they have had the sickness bug .

Hi everyone.
Just running round like a mad thing getting stuff ready for the Craft Fair tomorrow. Got lots of Stained glass, ceramics, books and cards. Fingers crossed I sell something.

Still having problems logging in. It takes ages then goes to the home page and so I have to find the thread all the time. Very frustrating.

Hi Karen
Nice to see you, thanks for your nice comment. There is more photos on my blog. How is your course going? Still sewing away?

If you are interested I have made a FB page for crafty cutters, you will have to contact me if you are.

Hi Tawny hope your son is not too bad. You sound very organised. Wish I was, I have bought one present, although I have made a few ceramic ones for people. My ex has actually given the boys some money to spend on presents this year for his family. He has changed his job so must be paying him well.

Still ploughing on with my essay, have got to the conclusion, though no idea what to put in it. Hopefully something will come to me, if I get any time to sit and think about it. Its our last week in College before the holidays on Friday. My tutor looked at what I had done on my essay so far and you could of knocked me down with a feather with all the nice comments he said.

Susan xx

Hi all,
Susan have now set up a facebook account for myself - i couldnt find crafty cutters only a group in usa, what do i need to do?
Glad the craft fair went ok for you in the end.

Went to see the Saw Doctors in Bridgwater last night and met up with some friends, had a great night out, made such a change!

take care all

Ang

Evening all,
what yet another horrible day weather wise we have had again!

Now who was tempted on the C&C bargain yesterday or buying yet another discontinued machine?? Anyone - cricut cake was down to an all time low price if you missed it!

As for the ink for the Imagine - seems PC dont even know the correct numbers for us UK users - HP97 & HP98 they told me in an email, but when i asked about numbers for us UK owners as HP 97 & 98 dont seem to be available in UK they told me to contact HP themselves! great customer service yet again - many thanks PC!!
Just finishing off some christmas cards, so catch up again soon

take care

Ang

Hi all. Susan - have sent you a pm

Not been around much and probably won't be for a while. I have been taken really ill - without going into too much detail I was admitted to hospital with suspected chest infection, (which I didn't know I'd got) discharged with antibiotics which gave me side effects from hell! So - now the side effects literally knocked me off my feet and the ? chest infection hasn't had any treatment! Anybody want to know the antibiotics - pm me as they're pure poison and I wouldn't want anybody else to go through what I've gone through this week. Apparently they're really strong. So now I'm under two hospitals - chest clinic at one in January (so at least they don't consider it serious thank heaven) and the other Infections Diseases Dept as my blood count is high, probably 'cos it's trying to combat ? chest infection. Great eh?

As for the Cake - that was the one thing I had a good laugh at! Selling yet another discontinued machine eh? Well dun C&C

Freezing fog up here yesterday - good thing I wasn't going anywhere. Everybody was sliding everywhere.

You all sound busy - I'm not. Roger's looking after me and all I'm fit for is watching TV.

Bye for now

Pauline xx

Hi all
Who ever was looking for the ink carts I was told the HP 338 & 343 were the ones. I have just tried the colour ones and it came up saying there was a problem and then tried to put the old ones back in still same problem. Got original ones and still same problem. So awaiting CS reply on it. This could be the end of my Imagine. Glad I got my other machine now and would never consider buying a Cricut again. So I think I will think about getting rid of some of my cartridges. Dam thing! Susan
