Debsy Well done for selling your cards, it's a great feeling when someone actually gives you money for something you have made.:T

Mmmm a mini factory... My craft room resembles something more like a council tip :rotfl: I do tidy it up now and then and put everything back in it's place, but that somehow creates a space, which is great, more room to work. But then I think mmmm I feel a trip to the range coming on

If i had a craft room then mine would probably be a council tip, my youngest son moved out and i thought (great) i can turn the room into a craft room, but not to be. within two weeks my oldest son moved back in, one day it will be mine then i can make as much mess as i want to.:rotfl:

You could always stick circles of card onto the sides of cotton reels so the ribbon doesn't fall off

I love teh colour schemes page, just spends ages going 'oooh' 'ahhhh' and the pretty combinations, anyone watching would think I was crazy! lol!

I love the poem too, I think I might print it out and decorate it in a frame.

I'm all excited as I have a whole weekend ahead of me to craft! yay! Think I might make a checklist of what I want to get done, very organised huh?!

Hi everyone

I've not been around much as OH has had a few days off.

:T Well done to everyone on their fab cards :T

A little while ago someone posted a link to pages of decoupage sheets and other things including backing papers. I thought I'd saved it but now can't find it. Does anyone have a link to it please ?
