Hi folks, not been on for a while but have been keeping up. Hope everyone's feeling good today.

I had an adventurous weekend, hubby didn't come back from China so I still went camping and got other people to help me put up the tent. A group of us from my son's school went to a great campsite near Ross-on-Wye which is near the English/Welsh border. It was right by the river, which was really shallow where we were. There was a mudbank where canoes go to get to the river and the kids loved it! It was nice and slippy so they slid down on their bots and landed in a great big muddy puddle! Kid's heaven! They then washed themselves off in the river and did it again and again.

Got to do a card for my friend who's birthday it is today, :eek: going to use some of the stash that Gemma gave me on the CP Goodie Swap.

thank you so much emma (and your ds!) I am so chuffed it's made my day. I was reading the posts backwards and read furrys that said well done on your win I thought I haven't won anything!
I have just driven 2 hours (leaving the house at 7.15am) to take ds2 to a hospital appoinment for tests only to have to rearrange it cos he had tummy pains and was a bit sick. he is fine now so I reckon it was either lack of food or nerves. so we have to do it all again in 2 weeks:mad:
at least I was in to take delivery of my cuttlebug which has just arrived:j time to play!

A few people have recently mentioned them so... let's bite the bullet and have Christmas :xmassmile as the theme for the next challenge. Only brief is that the card needs to be Christmasy in style/design :snow_grin

The Christmas Challenge :rudolf: starts today and ends in 2 weeks, eve of 13th July :snow_laug

Merry Christmas everyone :santa2:

Some info here there are lots of ATCs on the docrafts site. But yes they are basically small cards sized 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 that you decorate just like a card.

Oh Eck Xmas - Suppose it's never too early to start will get my [STRIKE]thinking[/STRIKE] santa hat on :rudolf::xmassmile
