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?

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 smile - if that's not being too greedy.

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!grin

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 grin)

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
