    That's a pity, still you might be able to recall a few of the ideas in the book later on if you get a good set up going making the invites, people always like a bit of quirk!

    Right, going to go and get a stack of books ready for RiSi then I'm heading for a nice bubble bath with my book, Have a good night!

    You too Cinny, glad you sound a bit chirpier.

    I have grabbed the bull by the horns and ordered abour £40 worth of invitation making bits and bobs off ebay. Hopefully they'll arrive this week and I can start trialling a few out by the weekend. Bit scary though spending so much on bits of confetti and card!

    Got in the bath, and noticed I'd forgotten my book :rolleyes:

    i bet you'll have loads of fun with that! I still really want to get back into some kind of craft, still haven't got a clue what to do.

    Not too much left to do after tea luckily, although I do actually have a 3rd Dooyoo review to put up too. Have felt okay most of today but really wheezy again now.

    Read another one of my craft books and there are loads of ideas there that I want to turn into cards, but think I need to physically go to the shop to get my samples of card and things for those rather than get them online. Once I know what I want I can buy online as it will be cheaper.

    That's a good idea Dinah, and it's just reminded me I have 2 craft shops in my town that do classes so I'm going to go have a gander in the windows when I'm next in town!

    Wont have time to join RiSi tonight, will do it tomorrow. They have a new series of supersized vs superskinny on again and I shamefully love that type of show :o

    Ooooh have to admit I love it too, will see if I can watch it online somewhere.

    Boys have tripped off all the lights so am limited on what I can do by the dark!

    Ebay running total 51/100 items have bids, £351.98 total sold yesterday +current bids. Only 1 of the items ending tonight has no bids on it.

    It's shocking how much it can cost. I tried my hand at card making last year but it the end thought sod it, it's cheaper to buy them!! (That and I ran out or ideas). Sounds like your book is more for people planning their wedding than for someone looking for various ideas for other people's weddings. I have to confess, and I don't really like to tempt fate by thinking about it, but I've already decided what my wedding favours will be - these little origami boxes I've perfected, filled with Jelly Bellies. Though by the time I've folded about 5 I know I'll be sick to death of the damn things.

    Looks like my all out ambush on RiSi has woked - got another swap tonight so that's 2 Emily Barr books for two rubbish chick lit off the front of magazines :T

    Going for a little squizz on dooyoo then back to the job apps... enjoy the fatty-skinny programme everyone!

    Lol the whole wedding thing still fills me with fear, if it's my wedding that is, I'm happy enough to plan for other people's weddings! I wouldn't buy a pack of premade invites for a wedding, would want them to be personal, hopefully other people will think the same!
