I went to the craft fair at the NEC

[pootlepod]

...and I am shattered but it was a great day. Lots of walking around and people, not many freebies or mega great offers but enough B&P to make me happy.

I have just got out of bed and can't sleep. This will make it worse.

What do I do buy the big Sizzix machine (already got sidekick) or what.....

Will never sleep now

only you can ansa that can't sleep either

Put the Big Shot on the Christmas list because there maybe some secondhand sizzix machines going cheap after christmas, because of the big shot. Anyway there's ladies on this site swopping & selling sizzix die cuts enough to keep you supplied well upto Christmas.

Don't have another sleepless night just dream of Big Shots & fings and what cards you can make There's a competition in the DO Craft mag, theme LOVE £1000.00 prize got to be in by 31st Nov. Now theres somthing to dream about you could have both if you win

is the big shot bigger and better than sizzix or just lighter and wider, then?

Am absolutely shagged out with bloody cardmaking. Can you get sick from card making because I think I am. My wrists/back/shoulders ache. All because I had to be greedy and do 2 stalls this weekend.....wiv no cards. But I have just about enough energy to join this discussion. My good friends are going to New York on the 4th Dec. Am asking them to buy me a bigshot I think. Depending on the price. What should I pay do ya reckon, I would ask them to get dies for you all but they are obviously on a weight ban re: luggage.

Am going back to UCM as this is far too long...was trying to get in the christmas spirit, but if I get any further into the Christmas Spirit (I painted cinnammon oil onto sticks earlier). I will fast forward to Easter

Bloody whingers..Eh?

Big Shot is £89 over here and has a 6 inch wide cutting plate. It will cost less from the USA...ask your friends to go to "Micheals"...there everywhere.

hey goodie!! you sounded a little down. how are ya now??

JM -- oh wat i wouldn't give to get to a michals, miceals ah cant spell it!!

Whats Michael's
Have you got a USA site thats selling them when I put Big Shot into google it comes up with just the Ellison site

I've found out what Michaels is

Champs, I am not feeling very great at all. I don't feel that I have enough cards to sell on Sat/Sun. If I sell any that is. Am stressing about the whole thing now, am back to UCM as am not feeling very Christmassy at all.

UCM don't panic ! How many cards have you got ? You can always make flyers with your details on, take pics of your best cards & if they get sold, display the pic instead. If someone wants one you can post it to them when made.

Still up. Just finished clearing away. It's not so many cards but I just wanted to ahve on for everyone ie mum, dad, mum&dad, sister, brother, teacher,

If you are going to pay 2.00 for a card it's usually for someone. ie not for ex neighbour who moved 5 years ago.

Am exhausted but happy. thanks for your support.

good luck UCM...I have a feeling this will be me next week....so many cards to make and so little time. Ive got 6 fairs now and the panic is starting to hit!!!
Family here for the weekend...Sis has just opened a scrapbooking dept in her photography shop and she is coming down with a box full of goodies for me to make up LO's for her to use in the shop....thinking I could get her and "She Dragon" mother to cut sizzix for me whilst I play????
