Ive been a good Chocolate orang today :rotfl:

All my craft stuff is threw into a box i was going to sort it out but didnt want to get caught into the trap of spending ages looking at it and then coming on here ordering more:o or looking on UKScrappers :rotfl:
I now have 2 separate boxes Christmas craft stuff and craft stuff :rotfl:

Theres a list of sites i still have to join but its a start

UKS confusses me too JordanShannon I keep thinking of all different things i can scrap about I can see this getting expensive :rotfl: Mind it will be, i have bought all this stuff and not had chance to do anything with it yet :rotfl:

:hello: Hardup Hester

Choccy orang' (tee hee hee) this post could have been posted by me!!:beer:

I can't believe you have all your craft atuff thrown together but in the 2 seperate piles/boxes like me! Plus I keep getting more ideas and buying more stuff but haven't managed one layout!! I even got a cropadile big bite for my birthday (Oct) and it's still unopened in it's packaging as not got round to using it!!! I love looking at my papers esp my K & Co ones they are lush!!!

I've been really good this year and not bought anything from any craft sites but it hasn't stopped me going on there and going through them all and placing lots of goodies in my baskets but I have managed to stop myself checking out!!! I might ask Mel to help me on UKscrappers maybe she could do us a tutorial as to how to navigate/find our way round the site (hopefully she'll put it on utube so we can hear her fab voice and see her camera work again!!!):rotfl:

Also I have a list of sites to sign up to will get round to that soon too!

If you are confused you can ask me anything on there or here it doesn't matter. Or just email me. No such thing as a silly question and I felt it was so overwhelming when I joined but I soon got the hang of it all.

I was wondering what everyone thought about holding a crop?

Incase you don't know, a crop is where a group of crafters get together and make things. We could hold one here and set challenges and share our work. That way, we are all on hand to ask and answer questions and we can kick start our crafting

Thanks what a fab idea!! I guess it could be a really good thing for me as I might actually get round to cutting into some of my beautiful 12 x 12 papers!!!:rotfl:

I posted my previous post before I'd read down to the bottom of the thread so thanks Mel for the offer of help here and on uks! AS you know I have sought your help before!!

furrypig

ps maybe we should do the crop on a seperate thread!!! There actually is a dedicated scrapbooking thread but noone has been on it for months as I'm subscribed to it.

JordanShannon

H keeps coming in and peering into my craft boxes to see what i have spent . He thinks i am daft and havent noticed him looking.;) So all my new stuff goes to the bottom :rotfl:

Hehe JordanShannon Im so glad i didnt ask where you where ordering from earlier Ive managed to do two more craft orders today :S
well im using the excuse that the stickers were only 25p and well since I got the first lot people keep asking me for stickers for stuff grr
Just worked out exactly how much Ive spent on craft stuff since Xmas and well im soooo not going to be money neutral this year no chance.
Im up for a crop session on here or on another thread please But dont encourage me to start scrapbooking because i cant afford to fund another new hobby this year
