9am Felt the urge to stick some (felt that is!) and used my adhesive cartridge to easily apply some adhesive to a felt border.

11am The fridge is beckoning! (do you know that feeling?) How about using my magnetic cartridge to turn some of your favourite snaps into magnetic pictures for the fridge? The children would also love some dress-up dolls with magnetic clothes to play with while you're making the lunch.

1pm Creative mode in full swing now, and trying some innovative techniques with fabric. What happens if you laminate fabric and use that on a scrapbook layout? It stops it fraying - fantastic!

4pm Children home from school and needing something to occupy them. Get them to feed me some cut-outs from their favourite magazine and turn them into stickers!

8pm Children safely tucked up in bed, and I'm turning my attention to that cool new minibook with see-through pages. Laminate photos and bits of paper and turn them into see-through pages for your next minibook project!

10pm Getting tired now, so web surfing is all I can cope with. Check out Xyron for all the info about me, including the unbeatable price of £17!
