Still won't let me on the blogs, I have tried resetting everything so it must be internet problems Grrrrrrrrr stoopid thing

Choccy a word of warning....... Pocket cards are ADDICTIVE....... you make one and then you can't stop

Chocolate.orange - I don't know if you saw it but a few days ago I posted a link to an ebay seller who was selling stamped images of the pirate.
Louby lou-lou - hope you feel better soon.
Npsmama - I got my scalloped cards from there too. I prefer the larger shape and will soon be ordering some more - they're the the only card blank that I use at the minute - I know I'm boring!!! This time I'm going to order white and cream blanks though - I'm trying to find some card bags that will fit them.
Dragonflew - your fat page is in the envelope and ready to be posted tomorrow!!
Jailhousebabe - lovely card - the embossing looks really good - you are all making my jealous with your cuttlebug creations!
Hels - great card - I really like the black and white together and the chandelier image is fab!
Rusty - another great pocket card - you're on a roll, I love those basic grey papers.

Phew! Finished! Done! Just made 16 of these here for my US June card swap, I'm all behind like the cow's rear end! Most of my swappers have sent me theirs. Still, it was a quick card to do and all I have to do is write all about my best friend of thirty years,......... that's enough, innit?

My stupid computer keeps going bonkers and deleting stuff that I've written on here - aaahhh!
Craftygranny - I had those papers but I think I gave them all away - I'll check and see. I've got the matching chipboard shapes if anyone wants them - I found them the other day and I'll never use them!
Melsharpshooter - my OH's a prat - he never reads instructions and ends up shouting at the object - I normally have to step in and finish the task for him. He's even worse on the xbox - he's killing zombies at the minute!!
I wasn't expecting a visit from my Mum for a few weeks - but she's coming up tomorrow now and bringing me a couple of my craft orders that I got sent to her house. So tomorrow I should be getting my xcut guillotine, my corner rounder punch, and some more basic grey paper pads - wisteria, lime rickey and ambrosia - ooh - can't wait!!

Flourgirl - I've been having problems getting on blogs tonight as well - some let me on others don't!! I thought it was my laptop. I know what I'm going to do for the ATC - now just got to achieve it & post it!

Npsmama - I got my scalloped cards from craftwork cards too - lovely quality. I'm not too keen on Hobbeycraft - I tend to look at what's on offer rather than the regular stock. The staff weren't that helpful in my nearest one "if it's not out we haven't got it" type of service IYSWIM

Having a coffee :coffee: and a little rest before tackling the pj's! I'm off to spend the day with my eldest son at Bluewater in Kent tomorrow and see what Paperchase has to offer, anyone buy anything from there before? I have to agree with you all, I don't like Hobbycraft (very expensive) and it's in Basildon which I dont like either, sorry Basildon! I think that the deals that are being offered on the net are getting better and better, I too missed the Sugar Nellie offer. I've got some new ones from Pink Gem that I'm looking forward to playing with, I've got a cow knitting!!
Definitely tired...... I'm rambling!

Melissa will you let me know if you find some cello bags to fit the large scalloped cards please. At the moment I am using some 8x10" cello bags I used to use when I was baking for the farmers markets, they dont look too bad folded over and cut down at the top, but I would rather have the proper ones for selling IYKWIM.

npsmama

Will avoid Hobbycraft - seems it's not worth the hassle especially with two craft-loving toddlers!!!

Is there anywhere you would recommend going craft-wise near chester?
