Thats soooo not fair!!! I want that much snow!!! It doesn't settle here cause we have had a sea fret the last few nights and so much spray from the sea so everywhere is salty so its not really settling

Rainmac your cards are fantastic! I love your cross stitch ones ... next time your hubby goes away I am coming to visit and you can teach me how to cross stitch!

Please do :T, me and melissa have said before we want our OHs to take the kids for a week and then one of us will go the other's house and we can do lots of craft things and eat cake, sounds good doesn't it

tigzem...welcome and your cards are really lovely
Mary...glad your eyes feeling better, my tummy is now much to the relief of all in the house.
Rainmac...I would love to be able to cross stich but it never seems to come out right. I love your cross stich cards they always look so good and the daddy was is just lovely.
We have about 3 inches of snow it looks so pretty but its freezing
Hubby as got the QE hospital tomorrow for his kidney stone to find out when its going to be blasted again!! (6th stone in 10 years), so Im torn do I want it to go or does he really need to go to the hospital

Polly...hope you get well soon xxx

OH's getting me a scrapbooking mag today (I hope) - think he''ll be getting a cross stitch one tomorrow................lol

Now bloomin' printer won't work:mad: First it says 'paper jammer' - there wasn't so I unplugged it -left it and plugged it in again.
Now its just doing nothing:mad: Small lump hammer springs to mind as being the next step,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,lol

This happened with my printer and it turned out to be a piece of holly stuck in the rollers. Try to pull a piece of paper through the rollers to see if something has dropped in there.

ZL - no need..........it's always playing up like this. As soon as I re-plugged it in it quickly sent a piece of paper through with nothing on it, I go on to print something and its gone on strike - nothing ! Not even a message saying papers jammed or anything !:mad:
Think I'll unplug it again and leave it for the rest of the day...........maybe it needs a bit of a break.............lol:rotfl:

How on earth do you get holly stuck in your printer? The mind boggles!!

Feels like ages since I posted (it was a long, heavy weekend ). Rainmac, furry, mary and tigzem, great cards (hope I haven't missed anyone out!).
furry - hope you manage to get away, and have a great holiday
mary - glad the eyes are better, mine has just cleared up after having a cyst removed. Not nice!
polly - hope you feel better soon.
rainmac - if there's any spare room, I make a mean carrot cake and rock cakes, and already have the advantage of no kids to get rid of
melissa - looking forward to the challenge!
