flourgirl - what a gorgeous garden you have

I was planning to sort my craft stuff out today, but I've woken up with really bad backache and can hardly walk, so I've been sat with a heat pack, dosing myself up on painkillers.

Could you add "& son" on - I don't mind if you substitute me for him. I was under strict instructions when he left for his holidays that his thank you teacher card was for the challenge. don't want to be in trouble as soon as he returns!

Actually, I was wondering whether we should have a challenge specifically for the kids over on CP. What do you think?

Sorry will add & son to the list!!

i think a kids challenge is a great idea especially over the summer holidays as it is something extra to keep them amused with!

Thanks Melissa and Skiergirl the garden is a bit like painting the forth bridge, you are just putting the hoe away and behind you the weeds are popping up and laughing

Just been checking the blogs, WOW!! some gorgeous cards. Whoopidoo your daughters blog is fab, she is so talented.

DTB I love your sons cards, its so lovely when you can do things together.

cgcockcroft Some fab cards on your blog love the paper nation football one

Skiergirl Sounds like you have had a rough day, will it be a hot bath and an early night?

My friend called this morning so I gave her the Golden Wedding card for her Mum & Dad, she said they would love it. I did eventually make a box with a gold lid and decorated it with flowers to make it look nicer. Dopey me thought I needed it for last weekend and its not until tomorrow

Evening everyone!
Still home alone - not a lot of crafting done so far - was going to treat myself and wandered round the shops after work but my friend had pointed out that as it was only me eating I could go to M&S - was so excited by this couldn't find anything to wear that I liked :rotfl:.
Had steak and kidney pudding (2person one ) and have treacle sponge and custard for later .

My nesties arrived while I was out - now I want more!!! How easy are they to use I'll have circles on everything now :rotfl:

hi all, we're back from cardiff/bath, had a great time, saw cardiff castle and the roman baths! very diffferent cities though! conveniently found a range in cardiff and fulfilled my craft shopping addiction :rolleyes: I could have spent hours just looking at all the stuff they had, it was the biggest craft section in any range I've ever been to! I left OH in the car and when I went back to him I'd been in there for 40 mins :eek:

have flicked through what I've missed and beautiful cards everyone, will try and catch up on blogs properly tomorrow

I have had a new toy for my birthday, an iPhone! so now I can get even more addicted to the internet (and never have to miss out on any crafty sales, I WILL beat you all to it )

see you're almost past your due date Mel, little Eliott obviously decided that he really didn't want to share a birthday with me lol :rotfl:
