Just saw the time of your post saveapenny, glad I'm not alone in being up late. The last few weeks I don't think I have gone to sleep much before 2am everynight and on Tuesday night I was still wandering round at 4am. This morning I have already got the washing in and the breadmaker is on and the ironing board is out for yesterdays washing!

Wow, I've got up this morning with DS2 but that's about it Oohh, received a Poppicrafts order from my lovely postlady I still feel hot even though it's cooler, I think I will feel hot forever after the heat this week :rolleyes:

My OH and DS1 are still upstairs snoring, going to send DS2 up there soon to make noise and wake them up

Started making a teabread yesterday so my fruit is well soaked in tea and going to make the cake later. I've got a huge pile of ironing to do so hope to get that done today and I'm off to a wedding exhibition tomorrow working with the lady I make wedding stuff for. I've only done 2 shows with her before. I am always so nervous that I will say or do something stupid and lose a potential sale for her.

Rainmac - lovely xmas card - the green paper is fab, and I love the little mouse. I was naughty and bought the dinosaur a4 sheet of digi stamps from that site yesterday. Don't worry I haven't bought a cuttlebug yet!!! Sounds like you're really well organised for your fair - I know you'll make loads of money!!!! Don't be nervous about the wedding fair - you'll be fine!!!!

Well, it was a strange day yesterday - I was round at the mother-in-laws with the kids - its only a few streets away from us when the police knocked at the door. They were evacuating loads of houses because there was a house fire nearby and it was dangerous to stay there!!! So we went back to our house which luckily was a bit farther away so didn't get evacuated!! It was really strange - everyone was just milling about not knowing what to do and where to go!!
I actually mananged to make two cards yesterday - my first in weeks. I should have really been making ones for the challenges and swaps but I was desperate to use my new magnolia animal stamped images - they are fab!!

I got mine from craft superstore and it came with a small die ( I would guess about 3cm x 3cm but don't quote me on that, I am being much too lazy to go upstaird and measure it )with postage stamp style edges, and 4 embossing folders the same size, a pram, a present, a cake and something else which I can't remember at the moment. gosh my memory's awful this morning lol :rotfl: hope you decide to join the cuttlebugg*rs rainmac :rotfl:

As Gemm said It comes with the stamps, they are 2x2 (Gemm likes them to be bigger though lol) the other one which she can't remember is a love heart, if you need me to take a pic of them I will happily They look fab!
