Hahaha Brilliant Patricia ! 🙂🙂🙂
 
You lot are so making me laugh with this 🙂 Can't wait to see the creations! Haven't shown Rose yet, no doubt she'll want to start as well 🙂
 
How we all getting on here?? I'm still collecting, need to look at the website again for ideas...

Just had a look at website, they use glucotab pots, so does that mean any packaging for what we use for hypo treatment is allowed??

I'm still collecting too. I'm wondering if anyone has gone so far as to buy craft tools to help them create their masterpieces? Most of my bits so far seem to be needle caps and test strips!😱

craft tools?? Nah I'll use a stanley knife and hammer maybe some nails too.
I'll probably cut myself to bits!! But I'll enjoy it! PS Is there a size limit? small or big?

Eeeek Craft Tools !!?? Are we being that professional about this ? I was going to use a stanley , knife some super glue and whatever , probably finger tips etc hehe 🙄😉
Plus I have no idea what the hell I'm making yet !!!
 
haha I did have craft tools but i left that round the ex's house when I was making my treasure chest! the btard never brought them back for me :( and my paints! grr.

Ive used a stanley knife and super glue so far, nearly cut a finger off using a kitchen knife at one point 😉 be careful kids!

Oh nooo, hope I didnt chuck away that empty cartridge I was planning on saving for it 😱
 
I really love all this, guys...Lots of artsy posturing...When are we gonna see these creations? I can't wait. Did you decide on judging or something? Or maybe we make a sticky thread for a while...?

Have fun!

Anyone started yet? I've decided that I now have sufficient 'bits' and will plan my masterpiece today!:D
