How is everyone today?

Kat, you are so funny.

A word of warning ladies, do not leave iPad open on page of cartridges we own, other halves can look over shoulder when you are typing!

To all the ladies that have posted all the beautiful creations - WELL DONE!

Hope everybody gets over ailments etc.

Enfys, sorry to hear about your friend x x

Amber - hope you are mending

What a stormy day. Can't wait for lighter mornings and warmer weather.

Have a great day.

Oh and welcome to our new members. What is a yudu.

Morning girl's,,,on the 5th jan i orded some cart's of the bay also from usa and they have just come postman got us up at 8.30 knocking on the door,,one of them has a new style book in it,maybe they have been out for some time but it is the first one i have, i think it is very good for people like me who find it hard understanding thing's ,,well time now for a coffee and jame's martin on tv

Morning Dee, now your secret is out! Can we not buy things without being found out?

Dee I must say the postal service was speeded up for you, wow super quick. What is the new style of book and what did you order? Curious as to what they are making easier.

Carol, the new styles books have a little illustration of the keyboard under the main left item and a little red square on the keypad showing you which key that page refers to.

Like Carol I would love to know what carts you ordered Dee and I hope you edit your carts we have posting and add the new ones in! 10 days from US is good going and you didnt get caught by the dreaded VAT! Have a good day, I thought you would be playing not watching cooking on TV - very controlled beahavour!

Morning liz.

Can I ask, do we have to type the heading every time we post. Is there a way for it to come up automatically? Just being lazy, apart from that I forget sometimes which section I am in, takes me ages to type with the iPad but seeing as I have been up since 5am, I didn't want to turn my computer on.

liz, now you've gone. Told you I was slow.

I am always lurking somewhere Carol. If you leave the post title blank in a reply post it will add in the title of what you are replying to. Does that make sense? In this post I have left it blank and you can see what it automatically adds. Unless there is a specific reason for wanting to change the title then I always leave it blank. If you remember in the Hello thread we used the title to put our names to introduce ourselves. So unless for some reason you want a change leave it blank then you dont have to remember which thread you are on!
Well today we have 67 members it will be interesting to see how many we have when we are 2 weeks old at 5:24pm (I think) this afternoon.
You are worse than me and Lou at getting up, we are always the early birds join us and we can become an earlybird trio, dont ask me to sing though I am tone deaf!

Thanks for the info. I thought there would be around it. Totally makes sense now!

Hello peeps!
I woke up wimpy Lou again today, so no craft club for me. I have done a lot of baking cakes with the boys and waiting for the postie to bring me a parcel but he didnt. Our post here is horrifically slow!!
we made a giant cupcake in my new cake mould which I need to ice later!! will take a bit of icing!!!
I am just cooking pasta bolognase for tea now as its the boys favourite.
Might try and get some craftying in tonight!!
whats everybody else been up to today?

Hello from NZ, I am still here but reading through all the messages etc. when I have time but it is so busy on here now it is hard to keep up. We are now on the countdown to comng back to the UK, this time next week we will be heading for Auckland to catch our flight home and then I will be able to catch up and see how this new board works and fill in everything I need to.

Hope everyone is well.

Hi Fi I see you have made the rounds of the posts quite late tonight or was it early for tomorrow!

As well as our fab number of members we are getting a lot of guest visitors who are having a good read around the pages and then going. Not sure why they are not joining but hey maybe they are checking us out and will join later.

Another little reminder for folks as well as reading all the threads you are getting your emails for dont forget to scan over the main list of threads as members are creating some new threads and you will miss out on these if you just go on your automated notifications, new threads do not create a notification until after you have posted on them.

Morning Liz well it was gone midnight when I managed to get on and have a little catch up. I did have forty winks while watching a film (toystory 3) with Ally earlier. I had such a bad head what with everthing that had happened . Anyway moving on new day new start, going with MIL today as she has just started beading and wanted to go to a class. We're off to Peterborough, so a little trip to Sir stamp alot is planned (would be rude not to go as I'm in the area), right best go get dressed, speak later.
Bye for now
Fi xx

Morning all. Might have missed this conversation, but has anyone bought the new Cricut Magazine? Is it worth it? I see there is a digital download option, but I don't want to buy it if it's filled with cake and home decor stuff as I'm mainly a card maker. I would love to hear your opinions. Thanks

Morning Kerry, I downoaded the digital one a couple of weeks ago. Not too bad for some ideas but it's like anything with cricut, if you haven't got the cartridge for the project you could be stuck, I will have another look and give you more details. Been busy helping Ian, not done any crafting whatsoever, just managing to keep ironing at bay! How are you getting on?

Carol. l

Thanks Carol for the info. I'm very well and still in the French Alps. Having a lazy morning but we will be skiing this afternoon. The sun is shining and we are sitting on the balcony soaking up the sun

Kerry, hope you are having a great holiday. I haven't seen the Cricut magazine yet, saw the sample. I subscribe to Cards (a sister publication) in the USA, it's very expensive and not very inspirational - a whole book of beautifully photographed cards, just one to a page, so not much content for the buck. In my (humble) opinion, the card mags in the USA are not a patch on the UK ones, and there aren't as many of them either. Probably why UK magazines sell so well over there.
Just to let you know folks, Four Legged Friends is up for grabs on my blog today, tell me a story, make me laugh, win the cartridge, simples. Good luck. Also SCAL and Cri-Kit pens are up for grabs from yesterdays post. All this partying, I am totally knackered

Hi Pam Hope you had a great holiday and have a safe journey home x
Hi carol I haven't seen you on for a while, Hows things?
Kerry Have a great holiday, I've never been skiing, would love to do it one day
Fi OK tell US what you brought from Sir Stampalot, are you spent up now

I am not sure if you will all have found this but .................................... if you go to https://cricutolics.forumotion.co.uk/forum abd then scroll down the page there is a link called 'Today's active topics'. It is the first link on the black under the pink band going across the page that says 'Cricut Personal Die Cutter' Now it will show you all the active topics of the day whether they are old threads with additions of New Threads started off. Good place to visit to make sure you dont miss out on anything.

By the way Google bot has been crawling us today - I hear you say is that good? Well yes it is good as it means we will start to appear in google searches. It is rare for Google to be crawling at quiet such an early age! The real thrill will be when MSN bots crawl us as that is very rare and you have to be very busy with posts! Most forums get skipped by MSN.

Hi Liz
Google bot !!!! it sounds complicated. As you can see im not very computer litterer or cant spell LOL X
