Thank You for all the kind comments on the image wallets . For those who asked i have added instructions here on how to make them . probably as clear as mud but if you need help just give me a scream lol.

Thanks craftygranny - I now have to choose between making one of these or cutting the front garden

They are a really lovely idea and would make nice containers to put little notecards and envelopes in. I know containers is not the right word but I am having a brain freeze at the moment. In fact I am always in a brain freeze moment :rotfl:

I ordered a couple of bits last night to use for the Fantasy Challenge prize. Am I right in thinking that the challenge ends next Monday evening ?

I have looked back and have found entries for the following peeps :

Rainmac
Dragonllew
Mrs Tidge
Gemm
Rusty
Louby-Lou-Lou
Chocolate Orange

I am sure that I have missed someone (or more) off, so please let me know. In my mind I think it is Melissa but I am probably wrong !

Hiya peeps!! just popping in - trying to catch up since been back from spain & then birmingham (hen weekend!) - lots of really lovely cards from everyone!!

Also wanted to thank Rainmac & OP (not sure who so please own up?) for sending me eyelets to use with my new Crop-o-dile!! Will be trying it out this week hopefully!! Am getting itchy purse strings thinking I would really like to get either a Cuttlebug or a Sizzex - but which is best? or that fab offer of something similar (can't remember name?!) at £24.99? Really really like the embossing look! All advice welcome please...

Anyway, have made a couple of cards thankyou cards today... and as you can see YES I AM ADDICTED TO WORDLE!!! hahahaha!!





Also made another card but its for the CraftyPlace 'pink' card swap so will post a photo once its been sent & received!

Ooooh also wanted to say WOOOOOHOOOOO Rusty to your OH getting a job - such fab news! My hubby was out of work last year until Oct so I know how critical it can become!! Shame he has to work away but then it makes it so much more exciting when he comes home at the end of the week!!

Popkins

Ooooh sorry they're soooo big!! I still haven't learn't how to make them smaller!!!

I have spent a lovely day with rusty. we didn't get much crafting done but we swapped papers and she printed loads of stamped images for me:A. I had a play with her cuttlebug...I might have to get one!! I love the embossing and the scalloped circles. we had a go with the fiskars circle cutter...needs a bit more practice I think!
she brought Maddison with her. what can i say...what a gorgeous cutie she is - she smiled and laughed the whole time!

Hello everyone

Popkins fab thank you cards on your blog
Flourgirl sounds like you had a fab holiday! Hope you enjoy your meal tomorrow night!
bunbun awh that's so nice you can spend time with rusty!

Well I've been enjoying the son with my DS today also spoilt myself and treated myself to some straightners I've been dying to have them for a year now but just couldn't justify paying the £60 decided today that I really do need them got the wholesaler and they were halfprice so I bought myself some tigi hair products to go with it 52pound later a very happy girl!!!

I've also been asked if I could make an engagement card for 2 men, any suggestions???

Emma / Rainmac funny you should say that about children being a nightmare yesterday, I txt my OH last night (he was working late) and said that yesterday was the worst day yet, horrendous tantrums he's going through the kicking,scraming,pulling my hair stage, he won't do it to anyone else, he knows he's got me wrapped round this little finger, he threw a ceramic pot at me yesterday and it smashed, it can be so hard-going!

hope I am not too late with this but have been struggling with the fantasy challenge till I had to make a thankyou card for a very helpful friend who "does not do sloppy" so the message says " you slay my dragons" instead of heartful thanks:rotfl:


I hope it gets the message across with "slop"
