[Kat the Cobbler]

Who did that???

[weetabix]

lol

[zahra]

Morning everyone!

Would have liked Shimelle's class, but not without kit, not sure I'd keep it up!!!!!

Peacock scared the whatnot out of DD last week.

Hoping to go to NCT nearly new sale before swimming this morning, but better leave DD behind!

[eClaire]

Morning all, I'm on a momouth clear up of the dining room this morning, so will just be popping in and out. Also Shredding old bank statements, but the shredder only lets me do about 40 pages at a time and then it needs to cool down for a 5 min rest and i have 100's to do - How frustraiting!

I liked the winner in Sues comp, but I still think the circles one is very good too.

[zahra]

Phew back from the NCT sale - that was an experience!! Queue as long as you like outside and quite mad/aggressive in there! Got a few good bargains though, not unpacked yet am off swimming in a bit!!!

[tigerlady]

Who did that???

ME! ME! ME! Didn't realise thread was closing or I'd have gone for the last to post first to post double:D

Not surprised she was scared- they must be almost as tall as she is! I got scared half to death at a similar age by a black swan which chased me and I've never trusted one since.

DH is on one of his document clear outs at the moment too and is scanning and shredding boxes of stuff. He keeps asking me to do it during the week but life's too short!

Yes I got some classy bits from NCT when D was wee.

[TracieDoodle]

ME! ME! ME! Didn't realise thread was closing or I'd have gone for the last to post first to post double:D


:lol:

OK in the cold light of day I have just re read my earlier comment re the winner of the comp and realised it reads two ways - I wasn't saying that the circle one was 'as good as hers' meaning as good as the woman who won - I meant done deal - circle one won - I am not making alot of sense am I? cold light of day it may be but I can still talk drivel fluently!
I'm just trying to say that I didn't mean the winner wasn't a deserving one - I just thought it would be circle one!:wacko:

[tigerlady]

Advice please- I'm going to make this handbag box (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/boards/attachment.php?attachmentid=102834&d=1208522645) into a mini album-should I leave it pink and flowery or go for painting it black>

[tigerlady]

*whispers* I haven't really looked that closely to be honest!!:unsure:

[TracieDoodle]

I'd go for painting it black but that's because I'm not really a pink person - pink is very popular?

so to sum up - er, maybe???

[tigerlady]

I'm veering towards painting it black- think if I'm going to put my little girly charms on it black would look more "classy"
My DH's sneeze has developed a ricochet!!!! Used to just be a really loudATCHOOO Now it's more of a ATCHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Mind you it still rattles the plates on the wall

[tigerlady]

I have a really bad habit of voting on every poll on here- regardless of whether I'm entitled to or not!!! Have just voted NO on the "Should Cricut owners have their own forum?" and of course I'm the only person who has said no so far :lol:
I often vote on the polls people put up in Testing and help as a try-out- freaks them out!!!

Wow Clive Fantastic well done you excellent work worthy of one who had been scrapping for years and you have only just started.

[tigerlady]

Have you had a nice day, Mary?
DD has her BF over for a sleepover. They have taken over the lounge-mattresses on the floor- so I've escaped to my lovely craft room :wub:Ging to take them swimming in a bit in the hope that it'll tire them out.

[tigerlady]

Have you looked at the photoshop instructions Zahra? Do they seem to make sense?

[cherryb]

Sounds like you're having a great time Jane.

Got DD to try on a dress I'd bought her this morning and it's sooooo cute, shame it's not warm enough to go outside in! Will have to tidy and take photos indoors!!

[zahra]

Meant to say, Hilary, I haven't had a go with them yet, am working with larger photos at the moment, but am sure I'll need to before the end of the weekend!

Now, do I go and get a head start on some DHW or work on MK? Dh and DD asleep (he's got her conjuncitivits and Ihave to say, she was much better with it than he!)

[Mary Buttons]

Scrapping time Zahra. Sorry DH is feeling so so poorly

I have pm'd Smax to see if I can change my user name. heres hoping I get a reply.

Off to try and work it out now!

[tigerlady]

Well it's not ******* or ******* or ********.
Onwards and upwards!

[tigerlady]

AHA!!! found it!!!!http://www.funfilesandsmiles.com/smilies/133.gif

[Mary Buttons]

Which one is it Hilary cos I just can't find it at all. They said it was Tracie's but I can't see it.

[tigerlady]

here, Mary (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=155567&cat=500&ppuser=26292)

[tigerlady]

I'm thinking about doing 8x8 for my cc los cos all my 12x12 albums are full and I have 6 empty 8x8's. Not sure I'll be able to cope with converting the sizes under cc pressure though!

[Mary Buttons]

If it is just the photo/s that you don't think you will be able to convert easily why don't you make an 8x8 page on the computer and 'see' the size of photo to go on there by importing the photo onto that page and sizing it accordingly.

[tigerlady]

Yes, I'll give that a go, thanks, Mary.

[Mary Buttons]

I got two pages done of my mini book of our retreat at Scrapaholix this morning but just don't feel like doing any more at the mo. think I am tired thats why. and I have a busy day tomorrow. I don't usually go to the evening service but I have been asked by my friend if I would set up my computer so that she can do a power point presentation, she is preaching tomorrow night and as I don't often see her I really want to do this for her. Think I will have to make sure I rest in the afternoon.

[tigerlady]

I'm struggling to keep my eyes open too. I want to do something but just lifting my hands to type is enough of an effort!

[Mary Buttons]

Hilary go and have a rest and see if you feel more like it later.

[tigerlady]

I've just worked out why you aren't coming up on my Buddy list! Off to change it now!

[TracieDoodle]

hello Mary Buttons!!

[tigerlady]

How strange- won't let me add you to my Buddys!Have I been blackballed?

[tigerlady]

OK it's there now- must have been too quick for it.

[tigerlady]

While at the swimming pool I was waiting in the snack bar and 2 little boys of about 4 were chatting. Mother of one yelled"Jack come here and stay with grandma I'm going out for a bit" "jack yelled back- "I don't like staying with Grandma"
his little chum pipes up"Is it because she is cruel to you?"
Every head in the place turned to look at poor Grandma who looked like she wanted the ground to open up and swallow her!

[TracieDoodle]

I was looking for the punchline before I realised it had actually happened - poor grandma!!

[Mary Buttons]

I've just worked out why you aren't coming up on my Buddy list! Off to change it now!

Wondered how long it would take you to see. It has not long happened though Smax did it but said it should be Shoppaholic by she is at a crop
I got the pm from Smax at 7.25 so thats not bad but you were obviously tired cos thats the sort of thing you see right away.

That is priceless poor Grandma

[Kat the Cobbler]

So was I tracie!!

Hello by the way.

Been football today. it was blooming cold, and damp. We won though and they were two good goals so that's good.

[Mary Buttons]

Glad you enjoyed it but I bet you could do with a hot bath and a hot toddy and your dressing gown. I would not have liked to be standing around outside today

[Kat the Cobbler]

don't do standing. I'm in the seats (actually Sixfields is all seater) I've had some soup (didn't actually fancy a meal) and I'm trying to warm up.

[tigerlady]

I was aware that you were on line but not on my buddy list a while before Mary but didn't cotton on why!
I'm having fun on the kids swap thread- one of the kids has had her swap but can't work out who it's from. Jemm, another Mum and I have been working it out from all the clues. I love logic puzzles!

I like logic puzzles too.

[Mary Buttons]

what does having a buddy list do then Hilary I have never done that before.

[tigerlady]

You put all the people you might want to talk to online on your buddy list and open it up when you come on each time and then you know who is and isn't around-eg at the mo it's just you and Tracie on mine. Badly explained, sorry

[Kat the Cobbler]

Oh dear Ian'll be frisky tonight!! Poor sis in law!

'scuse me :blink:

[tigerlady]

OK easy one to start off.
The tallow obtained by burning ten candles will yield one extra candle. If you burned 1000 candles how many extra candles could you make?

[tigerlady]

Or a non-numerical one:
Dee Septor, the famous magician, claims that when he is in the far north he can point his car north on an ordinary road, drive for one mile and without turning around, end up one mile south of where he started. How does he do it?

[Kat the Cobbler]

the second one he's driving in reverse

[Mary Buttons]

it go on ad infinitum I've got to 651 from just 100 candles that cant be right surely

[tigerlady]

:D Correct!

[tigerlady]

Sorry, Mary correct was for Kat- a lot of my posts aren't posting straight off tonight.
No it's not 651

[Mary Buttons]

from 1000 you get 100 from that 100 you get 10 from that 10 you get 1

so 111 not sure if that is right or not.

[Kat the Cobbler]

It's one. is you burned them all you'd end up with one

[tigerlady]

Yes, it is!

[tigerlady]

Tracie enters stage left

[Kat the Cobbler]

How do you turn on the buddy list hilary.

[Mary Buttons]

Yes it is to who Hilary me or Kat

[tigerlady]

To you Mary- once again delayed posting!

[cherryb]

posted ealier but lost it not there now.
jane going to upload next instalments

[tigerlady]

Click on my name and the drop down menu says add to buddy list. Add all those you want then, when you first log in go quick links, open buddy list.
If I'm cruising the boards before switching off I check mine to see who is around before logging off! If there are loads of folk I may stay a bit longer or if everyone has sloped off to bed I know without having to check back to our thread or wherever.

[Mary Buttons]

Well I have put you two on my buddy list but I don't see how we see who is logged on.

[Kat the Cobbler]

oh ok. so I've opened it. Will it now just pop up when someone comes online

[Mary Buttons]

O brilliant will have to put everyone on now.

[Mary Buttons]

You can even put yourself on :lol:

[tigerlady]

Well I have put you two on my buddy list but I don't see how we see who is logged on.

Have you opened it through quick links? You can then either minimise it and keep referring to it or open both together by putting them side by side!

[Kat the Cobbler]

That would just be a bit odd. Someone telling you you've logged in haha

[tigerlady]

And then there were 4....

[Kat the Cobbler]

ooh I've got it now

[Mary Buttons]

And then there were 4....

who is the 4th one then Hilary not one of our team unless it is Carol have got to find here user name.

[Kat the Cobbler]

her user name is choyle

[Kat the Cobbler]

What colour should I make my book for my friend. I'm thinking white with purple (purple being her favourite colour) but I'm not sure

[Mary Buttons]

Right I have put me on there too got you all now including Clive.

[Kat the Cobbler]

Quick question that I should know, if you make a mini book but don't fill it (eg as a gift for someone else to fill) can you claim points for it or not.

[happysnapper]

having trouble with mums log in says she cant post a link
also how do you set it so when she sees the thread it goes straight to the last post not the first one?

[Mary Buttons]

Quick question that I should know, if you make a mini book but don't fill it (eg as a gift for someone else to fill) can you claim points for it or not.

Have you decorated it or just done the covers? I think you can claim 25 but I am not sure will see if I can find out.

[cherryb]

First is she subscribing to the thread?
If yes, when she opens forums the threads with unread posts come up blue.
Click on the down arrow/v to the left of the thread title and you go to the first unread post. Is that what you are after?

[cherryb]

yes thanks will try
janes goes to first unread post when click on thread title

[Kat the Cobbler]

It's decorated. It just doesn't have photos. It's the meandering book I made for my swappee for the goody bag. I know a mini book is 50 points. I just didn't know if you can claim if you haven't put the photos in.

[tigerlady]

Is anyone else having trouble posting tonight?

[Kat the Cobbler]

Nope

[Mary Buttons]

Yes I think you can and in that case it would be 50 pts

[tigerlady]

I think you're right Mary

[Mary Buttons]

No Hilary I can post OK but having trouble keeping up with you all.

[tigerlady]

DD and BF settled on the lounge floor watching DVDs DH and I in bed eating podding peas! Ah this is the life!

[Mary Buttons]

Fresh peas from the pod that takes me back to my childhood.

[tigerlady]

We eat them instead of crisps/snacks! They never ever make it into a pan!

[Mary Buttons]

Thats like me with baby sweet corn I love them raw and whenever I go to the fridge I grab a couple.

[tigerlady]

I can live without raw corn-now raw sprouts,turnip,potatoes are a different thing!

[Kat the Cobbler]

eewwwww

[Mary Buttons]

no could eat any of those raw. funny how tastes differ so much. Raw cauliflower, carrots, baby sweetcorn fresh peas think that is all that you usually cook but I like raw.

[Mary Buttons]

My desks are in a mess so is my conservatory table but I don't have the energy to pack it all away tonight help my tidyness has flown out of the window. :lol:

[Kat the Cobbler]

Right I think I'll start on this mini book for Jackie tomorrow while I'm watching the football.

[zahra]

OK, just popping in to say night everyone......managed to get some scrapping and some DHW done today! Full points for me!

Sleep tight!

[tigerlady]

no could eat any of those raw. funny how tastes differ so much. Raw cauliflower, carrots, baby sweetcorn fresh peas think that is all that you usually cook but I like raw.

Oh yes, raw cauli yum yum and carrots, of course. Broad beans are OK too but not French beans and turnip but not so much parsnip as it's a bit slimy

[Mary Buttons]

Good Night Zahra hope you have a restful sleep. speak tomorrow.

[tigerlady]

OK, just popping in to say night everyone......managed to get some scrapping and some DHW done today! Full points for me!

Sleep tight!

Night Zahra. Talk tomorrow.

[tigerlady]

That flipping coconut is getting more comments than I ever do!!!

[Clive C]

HOY I heard that!

[Mary Buttons]

You better put him on your buddy list Hilary then you wont be caught out like that.

[tigerlady]

:D:D Added now!

[tigerlady]

OK, I'm off so night all and see you tomoz! Have a good day Mary and get plenty of rest in the afternoon

[Mary Buttons]

Good night Hilary speak to you tomorrow.

[Kat the Cobbler]

I'm not at all tired tonight.

[TracieDoodle]

evening ladies and Clive!

[Kat the Cobbler]

Evening traciedoodle.

[TracieDoodle]

how you doing kat?
Like the sound of purple and white for your book btw!

[Kat the Cobbler]

I'm good. I'm flirting with a lad from bradford (naughty girl tee hee).

I like the idea of purple and white now I've thought about it.

[Mary Buttons]

Evening Tracie, I am trying to do the next pages for the CJ 'I Wish' think I have it sussed but need to print out the photos

[Mary Buttons]

btw Tracie is Clive back with you now?

[Kat the Cobbler]

One of the girls in the scraplift one i'm in has the theme of "I wish".

[Mary Buttons]

Kat you explained how the scraplift one worked once but I cant remember.

[Kat the Cobbler]

first person makes the book and does a layout. next person scraplifts the layout. Then the next person scraplifts their layout.

[Mary Buttons]

a bit like follow my leader then

[Mary Buttons]

which reminds me have Weety and Zahra sent you theirs

[Kat the Cobbler]

Yeap.

Right I've finished flirting now. Guess I should go to bed.

[Mary Buttons]

Yes me to good night Kat speak tomorrow oops today

[TracieDoodle]

btw Tracie is Clive back with you now?


no, he's tucked up in his little love nest with Weety!:)

[Clive C]

who me??
Some love nest!
sometimes I think Claire hides her luv for me a little too well

I have done another two pages in my book

well don't just sit there - GO LOOK!!!!

[Mary Buttons]

Right off to look Clive, sorry it wasn't in the early hours but I couldn't keep awake any longer.

[tigerlady]

Morning Mary. Got wakened at dawn by giggly girls! Not sure they did much sleeping.
Love the los Clive but I think you definitely need to look for a new woman - might make Claire jealous and make her love you more!

[Kat the Cobbler]

Haha. Love the two new pages Clive. I wish I was that talented.

[tigerlady]

Shame they were'nt 6x6 pages and they could have counted towards the monthly team score. Reminds me-wonder how we did last month?

[Mary Buttons]

Clive in case others miss it cos they have already left you a comment here is what I made for you
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3240/2427450812_c662d98937_m.jpg

[Mary Buttons]

Hilary we already have 10 members on our team we can't have another scoring one only have him as a mascot. but a very talanted mascot all the same.

[Mary Buttons]

btw Clive that font is very fitting cos it is called the King, Queen font. how about that

[tigerlady]

Oh yes, I forgot we were at full capacity. Love the shield- I'm sure he'll wear it with pride.
March team scores don't seem to be up yet.

I forgot about the monthly- has anyone done it? Closes today or tomorrow.

[Mary Buttons]

No sorry I haven't but Tracie and Denise have not sure if anyone else has though

[Kat the Cobbler]

I can tell you how many points we got but I don't know where we came in the whole grand scheme of things.

[Kat the Cobbler]

We got 1935 points last month which included 85 layouts

Bear in mind that this month will be a high scoring month because of the cyber crop (although I'm not sure how much I'm going to do) to be honest a lot of the classes don't really spring out to me as inspiration. Might do most of it digi.

[Mary Buttons]

it seems a chilly one this morning think I will have to go and put something different on else I am going to be shivering in church this morning.

[tigerlady]

Off to feed the hoards BBL

[Kat the Cobbler]

It's horrible here. Drizzly and dull

[Mary Buttons]

Yep I had better fly too as I need to get dinner prepared before I head for church speak to you all later.

[zahra]

That flipping coconut is getting more comments than I ever do!!!

LOL, and me!!!

which reminds me have Weety and Zahra sent you theirs

I haven't - not done it yet....sorry, have a scrapping friend coming around today, she may be able to give me some inspiration to finish it.....

It's horrible here. Drizzly and dull


And here! Miserable!!!! Don't know what to do today now, was going to go out with DD and her godmother.

Well, typically I woke up at 6.20 and despite keeping my earplugs in for an hour and all snuggled up with eyes shut, didn't get back to sleep, so got up and showered. What's the bets that tomorrow, when I have to get up at that time and drive to Stroud that I won't be so awake?!?!?! No time to visit Paperarts though!!! Am there Tuesday, too, but doubt I'll have time then, either!!

[Kat the Cobbler]

I really should get out of bed but I just can't be bothered.

morning all

still haven't finished the MK but it's getting there -

was hoping to talk Mr Doodle into taking me to that craft shop in silverdale today but as he stayed up until about 4.00 am watching the fight with Doc I very much doubt if he'll be fit to go anywhere. Ah well in contravenes the conditions of my stash diet anyway so probably just as well!!!:rolleyes:

Give him a kick and tell him you need a blast of fresh air and Silverdale would fit the bill nicely!

Don't come to Crewe direction as the fields still honk something awful

Stoke-on-Trent Denise - not too far from Hilary

[tigerlady]

Other side of the m6 from me.

[tigerlady]

DOH done it again!!! Must upload pics now!

[TracieDoodle]

I've been a busy bee - tidied up loads of the photos I took last week in adobe - quite pleased with the results - got plenty to use for the cc -

[tigerlady]

I've just taken this one which I rather like:D

[Mary Buttons]

that is beautiful Hilary

[Kat the Cobbler]

I've made a start of my book for my friend. By that I mean I've cut 3 pieces of 12 x 12 cs in half!!

I can't find any inspiration at all

[Mary Buttons]

Leave it then Kat until such times as you know what to do, unless there is some urgency in it

[Kat the Cobbler]

Her birthday is a week on wednesday and I'm back at uni this week.

[TracieDoodle]

Hilary that photo is stunning chuck!

[tigerlady]

Thank you- helps that she's dozy from her sleepover- doesn't protest as much as usual!

[Kat the Cobbler]

Can anyone think of good ways of binding mini books. I don't really want to use book rings and I don't have a bind it all.

Any ideas.

[tigerlady]

Office supply shops in town will bind it for you at little cost.

[Kat the Cobbler]

I don't think ours will. You're lucky if you can get a photo copy in there, they're so thick

[tigerlady]

Take a look at this site (http://www.tvweekly.com/main.php)- there will be a few mini books on here you may get inspiration from Weety has done a piano hinge one from here

[tigerlady]

Tea's burning....oops!

[Kat the Cobbler]

Piano hinge won't work on this one. Think I'm gonna have to use book rings. Unless I sew the main pages together and attach the covers with ribbons.

[cherryb]

heres another, we must be slowing down a bit now!

but on to the next...

[TracieDoodle]

finally - I have finished the MK - it's never going to win any prizes but at least it's done!!!

off to search the house - put my mojo down and now I can't find it!

[Kat the Cobbler]

Arrrghh my book is going to be much bigger than I though. Might use the one I've started making for something else and buy a pink pig book for this instead.

[tigerlady]

Maybe Clive's got it!

[TracieDoodle]

well he helps himself to everything else around here!

[weetabix]

evening ladies.

had a busy day building furniture we just ate roast beef dinner.

One more wardrobe to build but must bath kids first

[bramblepie]

Sounds like it coming together nicely Weety
Nice to see you are organised Kat ! you should be like the person on the gardening journal thread they making a christmas present I still not got round to lasts years yet !

[zahra]

Morning Zahra. I love the way you have a mental map of all the stash shops close to your various sites!


Well, it'd be rude not to!! Although I've only been to paperarts once - my first ever 'real' scrapbooking shop though!! :wub:



Kat going to send you mine now i retrieved it from hard drive while looking for pics for Zahra, which I still cant find sorry Z

Oh no, poor you - don't worry, will save them from flickr and then have a play!

Thank you- helps that she's dozy from her sleepover- doesn't protest as much as usual!

I now have mental image of you deliberately tiring DQ out so she sits still for longer!



One more wardrobe to build but must bath kids first

You've kind of inspired me - we've never really decorated any room apart from once since we moved in, now I want a new bathroom floor, repaint on hall, stairs and landing and also been hankering for a change in living room - better wait until DD has passed that mucky pup stage - what do you reckon? 10 years!??!

Friend who was around today had brought me some goodies from the US - yummy! (also white Stazon, Weety!!)

[Kat the Cobbler]

Sounds like it coming together nicely Weety
Nice to see you are organised Kat ! you should be like the person on the gardening journal thread they making a christmas present I still not got round to lasts years yet !

Well I hadn't planned to do anything but I promised I'd give her the disks I had of photos so I thought I'd put them nicely in a book.

[tigerlady]

Evening all. DQ must have been tired- we got her off to bed 1/2 hr early which is unheard of! She's been working on her pre-crop challenge and Ive painted my handbag.

[zahra]

Well done Hilary. I've not done anything on MK today, but friend was impressed, which was nice feedback! Better get my finger out, got a huge week at work coming up, with an early start tomorrow, so night all!

[eClaire]

Evening all, I have finally found some time to chat! What a weekend! DD1 had a sleepover, DD2 had eye tests. We went to watch a dance show and today had to take DD1 to St Georges Day parade. Her last event as a cub, she leaves on Tuesday. We were so lucky, the service was held at the Royal memorial chapel in Sandhurst. The building is just beautiful. parents are hearded away from the kids and I ended up in a balcony (almost out of site) so I used the opportunity to take sneaky photos of the stained glass windows. THANK YOU JANE for teaching me how to use the AV setting, I lowered my ISO setting, set the lighting and managed to snap away without flash and without anyone knowing- tee hee. It was a lovely service and I joined in and sung all the hymns, but I did find myself (during a very long sermon) thinking about a lovely bit of BG periphery paper that I have that would suit those window shots!

Anyway, logged on to chat about 3 hours ago and saw Hilary's comment about the monthly. I thought I had missed it, so logged off and bashed of a LO for FAMILY. Picture is not brilliant as taken in the dark, but here it is... FAMILY (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=157863&cat=500&ppuser=22350)

[eClaire]

Not sure if to stay and chat or read back through the threads - what have I missed this weekend?

Zahra, just seen your PM, i will look out your pics and email them in 5 mins.

[eClaire]

Hi Hilary - I have finally managed to enrole DD1 for junior CC and she had a go at the pre-crop challenge today - Surprise surprise, she did HSM, there will be loads of LOs on that film! but we had photos of her dressed as a wildcat so too good an opportunity to miss. I missed all the deadlines for the kiddy swaps, but I think DD. might try a LO next Sunday.

[eClaire]

Where are you all? - typical, I finally get to the computer and I reckon you are all watching telly :(

heres some of my stained glass window shots

[tigerlady]

[tigerlady]

Those windows are beautiful- a real work of art.

[eClaire]

Yep, I have loads of pictures if just some of them, there were so many windows. They even have modern stained glass I have a pic of them somewhere as well. yep and the amaizing thing is, that the pics I have are of just small details of them, they were massive!

[Mary Buttons]

Hi Claire I can't see the first of your stained glass window it says its an invalid file

[Mary Buttons]

Its OK I can now don't know what that blip was about.

[eClaire]

Hi Claire I can't see the first of your stained glass window it says its an invalid file

mmm, I had to have 3 goes at loading them and it crashed once, they seem to all be there now, can you see 3 now mary? something strange happening

[tigerlady]

Yep Hilary, she is Giraffina. here is her LO. HSM (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=157736&cat=500&perpage=15&sort=1&ppuser=31435) - i think theres anotehr HSM one there already!

Definitely one already but from reading the thread I think half of them plan to do HSM!

[eClaire]

And look at this, modern stained glass, really unusual to see....

[tigerlady]

mmm, I had to have 3 goes at loading them and it crashed once, they seem to all be there now, can you see 3 now mary? something strange happening

I'm getting all 3

[Mary Buttons]

Yes I can see three now there were only two and one of those as I said I tried twice and each time it came up with Invalid file. still they are all there now and they look great you should be able to get some good LO done with them.

[tigerlady]

Mary- how do I appear on your Buddy list at the mo please? I'm invisible....or may not be!

[Mary Buttons]

You don't so yes you are invisible. :lol:

[Mary Buttons]

there are some really super modern stained glass windows around, I love the one I used here

[tigerlady]

I'm on my buddy list as a red dot!

[Mary Buttons]

Why do you want to go invisible Hilary?

[tigerlady]

No reason Mary- just wondering if I would or wouldn't be invisible!

[Mary Buttons]

How do you go invisible think I have seen it somewhere but can't remember where.

[tigerlady]

Edit options.

[eClaire]

How strange - my buddy list won't open! It opened a few mins ago and I could see mary, Kat and Hialry on line and now it won't open again?

[Mary Buttons]

Have you already got it open and minimized because I have done that before.

[Mary Buttons]

[tigerlady]

How strange - my buddy list won't open! It opened a few mins ago and I could see mary, Kat and Hialry on line and now it won't open again?
