    Just a quick hello!
    I'm a bit discouraged as i haven't had any time to craft as we are busy harvesting from the garden and squirelling fruit/veg for the winter.
    I love doing it but it's hard work and what with the kids I haven't had any time lately.

    Problem is if I don't do some crafting everyday I get withdrawal symptoms and start feeling really frustrated!

    Rainmac I am sending you a little something in the post tomorrow :D

    Has anyone heard from Mary, she seems to have dissappeared again?

    Ooohhh how exciting, is it another 10 pairs of hands to help me tie the bows??? ;) Before I can start that I need to make the invites - lots of cutting and swearing when I make mistakes and cut invites wonky :mad:

    I haven't heard from Mary, maybe pc problems again?

    Sounds fab, I'd love a garden full of edible stuff :D Make sure you give yourself some crafting time at some point to ease the frustration ;)

    Npsmama - how fabulous - growing your own fruit and veg - I've always wanted to grow my own stuff, but I haven't got a garden.

    Rainmac/craftygranny - I wish I'd ordered more now too - I only ordered one pack of the two-tone daisies and they're so pretty. Although I have ordered loads from poppycrafts and had them sent to my Mum's so I'll have hundreds as soon as she visits.

    Well swine flu has hit Liverpool - just had a letter from my son's school saying that 3 kids are suspected of having it. Just told my f-i-l and he is panicking saying "are you keeping them off school?", and "you've got to be careful - shall the kids stay with us?".

    Mel, hope you said yes to your FIL, give you a couple of days off??? My friend is due today, no news yet... Baby needs to come soon as she is planning on going back to work part-time at the end of August.
