Paddington sorry your shoulder is still giving you pain This morning I was just thinking my shoulder is now ok then about 2 hours later I fell out of the back door! I went over on my ankle and fell into the wall, banging my shin on the step, it really hurt. I think I was more mad that my DH was on the roof and didn't know I'd hurt myself, consequently I didn't get any sympathy I think I'll have a lovely bruise in the morning.

Think he's in funny mode today. My son said mum where are you going to put that lot and tony the o/h said ebay would be a good start. He is only joking though he says he's complaining but if he sees anything i'd like he'll buy it or if kaitlyn wants it. He told her earlier to choose a set of nesties as she was having fun cutting the set i have . Hope she'll share lol.

ooh paddington sorry to hear you're in pain . Hope you get a good sleep.

craftygranny my DH said this morning "it would be nice if you could sell some of your cards and make your hobby self-funding":eek: Mind you when I was working he used to think I got paid in Per Una tokens :rotfl:This comes from a bloke who goes flying once a month at £*** per hour!!

I'm torn between being glad I missed that cardstock for the sake of my bank balance and being sad as I kind of needed some. Hmmmm
Mustn't be greedy though had 2 lovely parcels of crafty stuff today - a big order from do-crafts sale and some cuttlebug dies and folders from acard4u's sale. I still have 2 parcels to arrive altho I've been a fool with the Calico one and put my Mums address and my postcode on it so it may take a while to get here if at all!
Bought a few bargain ink pads and stamps from do-craft and am going to see if I can master this stamping malarky. My son and I both had a go today and I think he's got it more than I have!
Have posted my entry to the enbossed challenge on my blog

Flourgirl i tried telling o/h i needed more flowers cos i didn't have the right colour and the cheeky monkey said well can't you colour in a white one with those expensive pens rofl . that'll teach me.

Am I missing the point? - you can do that you know with copics and the like. The lady at my craft class does it all the time and recommends that people by cream or white flowers and colour them in rather than buying coloured ones. you can salso use them to colour white or clear buttons too.

managed to make a fat page for the swap on CP and an ATC just for fun.

I'm not sure I have my mojo back though...I think I may have too much stuff and it's hindering my creativity...:eek:

I've finished the dratted card and wrapped the present despite
1: the box I was going to put it in being 1/2 inch too small
2: paper that I thought would do having Happy Birthday all over it
3: dotty cello not quite big enough so had to crawl under the bed to get the new roll out.

Can't post a pic as lappy won't see my camera - have taken tablets so am going in the bath then spray myself in eau de ralgex and try and get some sleep.

Night all!
P.S. Did have a small spend at the glitterpot this afternoon including some core'dinations cardstock

lol no your not missing the point . After getting 2 huge parcels deliveredtoday one of them being flowers i was just winding him up into thinking i needed to spend more money. backfired big style cos i didn't think he knew you could do that. :rotfl::rotfl:
