I would never have thought have storing pens hoizontally but I bought a Marabu textile pen during the week and reading the small print it recommended that it be stored horizontally.
I think it depends on it's base.ie if it's water based the I think you store them horizontally but if they are solvent based then it doesn't matter.
Take care

Von, I think you are correct. Somebody on FBook sent me a link and it more or less confirms what you say.
Jean i have received the photos thanks.

Photos on both blogs today. Cards from Jean and two of Chirk castle from Shaun.

I think that it is Aqua Markers that MUST be stored horizontally.J

Thanks Jillian, I don't think I have any of them. Just checked through all my pens and actually there were only four that had dried up and as they were Marvey whispers I think theyw ere quite old. So i'll go on storing them all flat. Not sure what Aqua markers actually are.

Morning:)

jude :-D

Thanks Jude will look at it later.

And sorry, good morning, frosty and misty here too.

I had a look and it seems good but mostly for quilters really, not a lot on there for card makers or scrap booking, even though scrap booking is in the index. Maybe it is a fairly new site so will keep an eye on it.

A few of my latest cards on the blog.

I've emailed you a link to magazines freedownload.
I'm not sure if I can mention the magazine here.
Take care
Von

Thanks Von not had time to look yet but I will.

And how come I missed the new scrapbooking magazine. spotted it in T****o today called Scrap and it was number 3 so missed 2.

Love the cards Ann:)
Atlast l have added some photo's to my blog and one to your photo blog, which is a practice.

Hopefully my blog is sorted now.

It's quite easy really. There's quite a lot of information on you tube as well.
You can watch them doing it so not quite so taxing on the little grey cells. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Morning:)

Von...just had an email for another little freebie from that site:) how to make jewellery...l little house as a pendant from plastic, really cute:)
Will look at the other freebies l downloaded from that late:)

jude :) x

Jude
The freebies are usually good with good explanations.
The downside is that you get lots of emails.
However I don't find it a problem as I get the ones I don't want put into spam and periodically I check out the spam in case I missed something interesting. :-D :-D
I do get quilting daily and they advertise other things as well.
We are going to the USA again this year so I've factored in a visit to some craft shops to buy the things I can't get here.
Take care
<3 Von

Okay Von,

Let me be the first to present you with my USA shopping list. Now, where shall I start? :-D

:-D :-D :-D :-D Jillian

lets start the list with quite a few fat quarters of retro designs, and some route 66 souvenirs.

My niece just had a baby girl last week, so I have a reason to start a new quilted play mat. Ive already got girly coloured scraps that I can use. so today will be deciding how to fit it all together.

Very hot here the last week, not feeling very energetic at all. 32C today already
