Moving day...
Just to let you know all went well, very smooth. Apart from Mum getting herself locked in a cupboard for 1/2 an hour an no-one knew where she was!!! (don't ask!)......
Anyway, she seems very happy and relatively straight really.
Hope to get time to play with new crafty bits tom - so watch this space and I will try and post some cards this week!!

Charity Netball Match
Meet the guys and girls I work with, last night we held a Charity Netball Match. It was a 'girls v boys' match - with the boys wearing pink fluffy tutu's!! We had a great night, but it was freezing cold. Only Earl (our Company mascot) was warm!
It was all in aid of LIVES and we raised £150.
It's moving day for Mum tomorrow, please don't rain!!
Ohhh and my Glitter Pot delivery arrived today - can't wait to play - just need to find time!
My son is currently running around the room screaming and shouting, his beloved Chelsea have just scored a 95th minute 'away' goal in the Champions League!! with only seconds to go......Liverpool 1 Chelsea 1.

After some recent blog hopping, I kept coming across Tilda stamps ....... which by the way I am now addicted to!! (I am just waiting for an order to arrive)
I hope to visit all 'my sisters' blogs over the next few days to say 'Hi'.

Big Shot or Cuttlebug????
I am very tempted to update my trusted old red Sizzix machine for a shiny new model. But heres the question - will it be a Cuttlebug or the new black/pink Big Shot???
I am swaying towards the Big Shot, both are similar in price but I think the Big Shot will do more?!? Anyone have any advice?? What do you use?? Feel free to vote in the poll.
Does anyone know if the Cuttlebug embossing folders work well in the Big Shot?? because I love the effect they give.
20th April - 99% certain it will be the Big Shot!
Thanks for all your help - very much appreciated.

Tripod treat!
I have wanted a new tripod to go with my Canon 400 for months, but couldn't decide what to go for. In a recent issue of 'photoplus' magazine, this Manfrotto 190XB with 390RC2 head was rated highly....so I've done it. I have ordered it from Jessops, for collection tomorrow.
