Hello Everyone

You would not believe how much I have missed you all and this forum !

I have not really done much this week but I have also not stopped either ! I had a few hours away from the kids yesterday to go and get my hair cut and also went shopping. My OH could not believe that I did not come back with one item of clothing as all I bought was card making goodies :rotfl: I have forgotten how to shop for clothes !

I was very lucky to receive my prize from Flourgirl yesterday as my name was picked out for the sketch challenge :T Thank you so much Flourgirl, you have been very very generous. I will take a picture tomorrow so everyone can see what I got.

Rainmac - welcome home, I'm glad you had a good break

Rusty - You have made some lovely cards using your cuttlebug

Npsmama - I really feel for you, you have a lot on your plate and just want to let you know that I think you are a wonderful person

Kim-Possible - I am so sorry, I did not realise that you had sent me a message on Crafty Place. I have just replied to you.

Marg - You are my Crafty Place June card swap, I have also sent you a message on there

I plan to have a proper catch up tomorrow, I have had a couple of glasses of wine tonight and my brain is beginning to fuzz over :rotfl: I am a very cheap date - two glasses and I am anyone's :rotfl:

Can I just ask has anyone got instructions for the pocket card, I've made the double one but can't figure out the single one, me just being thick I think!!!

They are really easy to do, I've only made square ones so far but want to try other shapes.

The card doesn't open up but you can add your message on the back or on the 'tag' you pop in the pocket.

Hi EmmaOC, sounds like you're having a good time. I am also a very cheap date, 2 glasses of wine is usually pushing it for me
