Thank you for the nice comments on my cards ,I have been ooking all morning to try to find where I got the castle from (I downloaded it ages ago).

I cant find it I am afraid but if anyone wants it pm me, as I have it on my pc.

Well I made a bit of a boob today (literally). I had to make two eco hats for my kids school (we're not allowed to make easter hats anymore - don't get me started on that), so I made a paper hat out of newspaper and stuck bits on it. But this morning I noticed that on the back of Leo's there was a picture of a near naked woman - uh-oh!! So I had to have a quick word with his teacher about maybe covering it!!!
Gangstabird - thanks for the link to your blog. Most people just post their challenge cards on their blogs as photobucket is so awkward. Another one with a craft room - I am so jealous!!
Ct19720 - great easter cards - really pretty spring colours, and your challenge card is fab!
Mumhug - lovely challenge card, I too love your castle - perfect card for a little princess!
Gemm - your fudge looks gorgeous, I love fudge - I would have to eat all of that tub in one go!!
I made another notebook last night, it didn't take me too long. I'll put a pic on my blog later!

Wow, your blogs look so pretty! I'm off to investigate...

I'm really pleased as I'm nearly done decluttering my craft stuff. I had so much bits and bobs that I was saving 'just in case' that I wasn't crafting anymore bc everything was such a mess.
I'm in the process of making a homemade version one of these to store all my stickers, toppers, etc: Clip It Up. I'm using a mobile hanging rail (£5.99 in Home Bargains!) and some foldover clips and shower curtains rings. It's not my idea - I saw it on the Scrapbooking forums.

So I'm mixing 3 of my favourite things: papercraft, organising and decluttering! I love it when I declutter and find stuff that I think will make someone's day in a charity shop. Simple pleasures please simple minds as they say ;-)

That's the funniest thing since taking my kids to see santa and poor santa had a split crotch.

Sorry I've not been about much lately, I've not had chance to do any sort of crafting lately. Also had a fall from the top of an attic ladder Saturday and so I am a bit sore with nerve damage in one arm and a bad back, so as you can guess I'm not quite with it lol.

Just wanted to let you know that if you need any help with editing pictures I am happy to help as saveapenny will let you know. I love doing it so it doesn't matter if it is a big or small challenge.

Better go as the hand is hurting

Bye for now xxx

P.S Will try and catch up with everyone's card making when I am feeling better

The joys of being a mom It's a long time since I had to craft for a LO, but this brings it all back to me

Gangstabird - thanks for the link; I'm in love with your bunting.
s-michaels - ouch Hope you feel better soon.

It took my last post 1 hour and 15 minutes to appear on this page Let's hope this one appears a bit quicker!

Hi, I do read this thread but never get the chance to post lately as it is moving quite fast.
Here is my card for this weeks challenge.

Card costs: Approx 3p for the card (I cheated as I will use it for FIL's birthday cause I am doing him a gardening hamper.)
card - approx 1p
Ink from printer - approx 2p
Patterned paper (flowers etc) free with magazine I got for mothers day.
I printed all the solid colours then cut them out in the right shapes. We have a continuous ink supply so it makes things like that unbelievably cheap!

Finally got round to adding a couple more posts to my blog! although nothing very exciting but I do have my card on there
