I’ve been listening to the show for over a year now from London, UK, and I love what you guys do. I’ve never commented, but while listening to an episode last week (I think it was 136 judging from the comments) I decided had to comment just to let you guys know I also loved this party episode. I even listened to it again this morning on my way into work because I wanted to hear it again after you said it wasn’t as popular.

I love every show Ana has been on, she cracks me up and her laugh is amazing. This show was no exception – and after hearing you all talk about parties, I actually hosted 2 in December: a Christmas party and New Years eve! I admit, I didn’t make much for them with my supplies, but the episode itself inspired me to actually do the parties in the first place as I wouldn’t normally have considered it!

My birthday is in March so l plan to have another gathering for that, and this time use my supplies in some of the ways suggested. I definitely want to try to decorated cocktail sticks and making proper invitations. If I manage it I’ll let you know how I get on!

I really enjoyed the topic, and I hope you won’t be put off from doing future episodes like this which show how we can stretch our supplies in other areas – hopefully there are more people like me who do listen every week and love it, but just haven’t got around to declaring it publicly. I appreciate every topic, regardless of whether it relates specifically to me or not. It’s the ideas, the people and the general conversation that get me thinking, and there’s always something in each episode that will stick or make me want to go and make something.

I think it’s good that you have a wide variety of topics – it keeps it fresh and different and it’s good to broaden your knowledge – you never know when it might come in handy sometime even if it’s not interesting to you right now.

Thanks for all the amazing shows, I’m always excited for the new episodes and I’ll try to comment more to show the appreciation!

I posted about some part decs I did with my cameo and digi supplies:

I’d certainly be keen for a part 2! :)

Do you have pictures of your wine tags? We love wine and I’m always thinking of fun wine tags I could make (haven’t made any yet!). I’ve been envisioning wire, beads, charms, etc. But I’m curious about your paper ones!!
