My Nail Art
Started about 1 year ago · Last post about 1 year ago ·
Hi All,
I was wondering if you could a minute of your time to vote for my nail art in this competition.
https://www.facebook.com/Avonuk/app_110741852392919?app_data=436
It means I'd win £500 worth of cosmetics and make me a very happy Bunny!
Thanks! x

New Look
Started over 2 years ago · Last post over 2 years ago ·
The site is looking a lot more 'swish' these days and I've noticed that alot of recurring 'bugs' are fixed...
But is there anyway the Board could be improved at the moment of writing this the font for the sections are the same colour as the background making it really hard to read...
Also could the board have bits where we can have signatures... so we could have our blogs, shops, twitters.
Also a feature where you could click on something like 'show new replys to posts' or 'show unread posts' would be pretty useful.
All in all it's looking pretty good. :)

Christmas Present Help?
Started over 2 years ago · Last post over 2 years ago ·
Yeah fair enough I've heard of Molten Brown :)!
I just double checked it Wickham not Wickman.
AND they do those fluffy socks in accessorize which to be honest is a great shop to buy presents for sisters from.

Christmas Present Help?
Started over 2 years ago · Last post over 2 years ago ·
I'd want the books by Madeline Wickman (which is Sophie Kinsella's name when she first started to write) they are being re-released under with new covers.
It depends how old she is? I mean at the moment I'd want some nice perfume, a good mascara, or some nice cosmetics from the Sanctuary which you can get in the BIG OLD BOOTS NEAR WHERE YOU LIVE!!!!!

Contest?! When do they announce winners!
Started over 2 years ago · Last post over 2 years ago ·
Well I won this contest... http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/contests/hardware-store-decor-contest
and got my prize pretty soon... though it still says winners announced soon but if you click on it my names there... confusing.
So if you haven't heard anything about 2 weeks after contest close, I guess it's safe to assume your probably haven't won! :) x

Send out it tomorrow and I haven't had contact from Nora yet. I messaged her to ask about inchies... I've never made them before and weren't sure if were including them in the package. Is everyone else? :)
I might have to make send out Friday. I know that's naughty but at least I'm being honest.... :( xx

International shipping
Started over 2 years ago · Last post over 2 years ago ·
I've sold alot of stuff on eBay over the years and often ship all over the world.
I have only had packages go missing UK-UK never UK-Abroad.
I never use tracking just bog standard shipping and I'd say 90% of the stuff I sent has been received within 2-4 weeks.
I can't really help with US shipping but I know that anything I've ordered from the US has never been lost.

Halloween sucked!
Started over 2 years ago · Last post over 2 years ago ·
I hate to be a Halloween nazi but I just hate Halloween!
Don't like what it stands for, don't like the dressing up, don't like pumpkins, really hate it.
I'm not sure why. Perhaps its cos when I was a kid it wasn't really a big deal. It seems to have got bigger and bigger as the years have gone by. I mean I used to carve a pumpkin but that was it. Never got to go trick or treating or anything.
I get the impression it's treated as a proper holiday in the states but in the UK alot of people don't really like it or celebrate it.
Rant over! You can stone me for being a big old grumpy Halloween hater now! :P

Resin?
Started over 2 years ago · Last post over 2 years ago ·
*Appears like magic*
Thanks Ruby! :)
Veronies- If you live in the states check out a site called Resin Obsession. They make a super clear casting resin which is easy to use and has no odour or toxicity so the normal industrial safety precautions don't need to be taken.
You can also buy molds and other bits and bobs from there...
It depends what sorts of things you want to make but if you buy the resin obsession stuff its a two part process and you just mix the ratios 2:1 in a paper cup which you can throw away. (Resin tends to ruin anything it touches so you need to use disposable cups and lolly sticks to mix)
You can always PM me if you have any questions Veronies.
