Am waiting for the paint to dry on mine at the moment... it's looking a tad bright I must say. I used more than the pink paint that came with the kit. Will do a sunglass warning before I post pics.

Marja

I can't believe how rude this was of me.. I never said thank you for the Clipboard kit that I won and that was sent to me last week! I received it on Saturday and already have plans for it :)

Thanks so much and sorry I forgot to thank you :)

It will be in stock as long as we have kits. They are a limited edition. We do have some of Kit 1 left if anyone missed out first time.

We are busy making up the clipboards ourselves. They are great fun. Quite addictive really. i think everyone will be having them for Christmas.

Any news on the next kit yet? Loved the clipboard and bag one last time. Have made quite a few clipboards up and they keep walking out of the house. (Usually tucked under someones arm!).

Lovely Kit........I've got my idea for it. :)

Just need this child to go to bed so I can start playing.

joyaitman

04-01-2006, 05:35 PM

Glad you like it. Have fun. I enjoyed making the sample but I have some other ideas that I will have a play around with.

4kidsat147

04-01-2006, 08:21 PM

Well the lovely child, (Grrrrrr) didn't go to sleep early enough for me to play last night! But today she didn't have an afternoon sleep and auntie was round, so I got an early start playing with my idea for it......in the middle now, just though I'd post while having a breather.
