hi ladies, thanks for the congrats have just cooked alovely meal in, now we are playing on the wii- the love has totally gone!

well done rainmac you are certainly lady luck this month!

my mum told me when i was little i'd wander off on purpose in tesco's straight the customer services desk and tell them i'd lost my mum coz i loved hearing my name on the tannoy ( not that they'd do that nowadays!!!)

well i wont be making any cards for a month now coz i'm getting a shoulder injection on thurs ( a bit like cortizone) and i can't move it for 2 weeks, but then i go 2 london for a week then cornwall to see step bro in law via longleat (very excited about that i love animal park an know all the keepers names and love ben fogle!!) but then i will be back!!!

tomorrow i'm taking my mum out for the day to york outlet ( may visit the paper shop there!) then i have tix to see chris moyles karioke night in hull.

will still be logging in to keep up to date on my new phone!!! today has been a good day!

forgot to say rusty give it ago use a sketch challenge that you like and maybe even a colour challenge as well. and if you need it a recipe challenge- but that might get compicated!!! that is what i did when my mojo went on holiday!

CGcockcroft - I love where you say the love has now gone when he starts playing the Wii .... Will the divorce papers arrive tomorrow? :rotfl:

Sorry to dissapoint ladies, I dug all the pretty papers/flowers and ribbons out of the box ... even the bug ... I stroked them and wished my mojo back to me ... but no!! it has gone

I will try again tomorrow, mainly because it is all stil spread out over the table and I am now going to take some tablets and once they kick in I shall be heading up to bed! Night all

Rusty/ Rainmac - my youngest would absolutely love legoland - he is lego mad, its just too far away for us - maybe one day!

Bunbun - thanks for your comments!!! The youngest's imaginary friend only surfaces now and then, I had to scratch his back the other day!

Flourgirl - sounds like they had a fab time at the party!!

Rusty - goodnight - hope you feel craftier tomorrow!!

Cgcockcroft - ouch - I don't like the sound of that injection, sounds like you have plenty of great things to look forward to though that will keep you occupied!

A heads up - there's a crafting TSV starting at midnight on QVC. There's meant to be a sale on all day - so maybe they'll be some bargains!!

Slightly OT (ish) - I've finally met my new niece :rolleyes: :j
She's a chubby little thing, but soooo tiny.
Sis had received 2 hm cards from OH's family, both bought from the same person (who puts a label on the back saying "handmade by ***** Tel: ****" Clever way to advertise!) - but my card was much better, of course.
I also didn't think that she'd know what a nappy cake was, but someone had already given her one. :rolleyes: They'd bought it from someone who makes and sells them regularly - but again mine was much nicer! Sis and her OH were very impressed. (Gosh don't I sound vain !)

Rusty - get the promarkers/whispers out; maybe your coloured in images will give you inspiration. If not, then you'll have plenty of images ready for when your mojo returns.
Rainmac - congrats on winning the challenge, and getting your work in print. :j
Flourgirl - happy birthday to Willow. It looks like she's inherited your creative gene - her cards are lovely.
Melissa - my DD had 2 imaginary friends, Naree and Darick. It came in handy when I was pushing her uphill in her buggy one day, I told her to get out and give Naree a turn. It only worked once though - the next time I told her it was Naree's turn, she told me that Naree had just got on the bus. :rolleyes:

Jailhousebabe - yeah - you got to meet her!! Of course your cards and nappy cake were better!!!! I like the fact that Brandon has an imaginary friend - it shows he has a great imagination!!! Your story about Naree taking the bus made me laugh.
