does anyone (preferably regular) want any craft books they are mainly card making and a few scrap booking plus 1-2 other. They could be picked up (glos) or sent for postage.I can do a list later if there is any interest. I would like them to be used rather than sold on

I'm not a card maker, but what are the scapbook and other ones?

Balthamos · 03/12/2008 17:57

Would love any you could spare! We are obsessed with crafts in our house (and as my DD is only 16 months, i think it would be fair to say that it is ME who is obsessed) and any hints and ideas from any books would be gratefully received!

Oh, Id LOVE the Felt Crafts, Jo Verso's Cross Stitch, the Embroidered Greetings Cards and the Creative Correspondence ones - if that's not being too greedy.

oggsfrog · 03/12/2008 20:42

...and the Making Memories - A Season of Giving

Balthamos · 03/12/2008 23:36

Thanks beep. The art comics might be perfect for what we need.

The books seem pretty popular so maybe we'll raid your magazine supply and leave the books for more experienced folk!

Although the christmas book looks fab...Thank you thank you for being so kind as to share them with us!

Please let Balthamos have the Season of Giving one (I presume that's the one she meant).

I can't CAT as it ran out last April - if you email me at oggsfrog at yahoo dot co dot uk I'll send you my address .

It is very kind of you and I can assure you that they will be used (I was up until 1am last night knitting dh a skull facecloth to go with the Jolly Roger he's getting for Christmas )

oggsfrog I haven't recieved your email can you send it again.
Balthamos I have emailed you.I think your postage would be £4.20 but I could probably get at least one other book in as that is up to 2 kg,so if there are any you like the look of let me know and I will see how much they weigh.

Hi if the Complete Guide to Card Making and the Paper Inspirations book are still available can I have them? I am a longstanding mumsnetter although I think I've only posted on arts&crafts once or twice. I've been lurking recently to get ideas though!
