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

Lol i know its so hard not to buy these nice things DAMN the craft companies:mad: :rotfl: Only joking, its my new outlet to life and rage and the likes of:rotfl: and because i don't go out often(unlike most teenagers) so this is my excuse to not go out:rotfl: And because i WILL make such beautiful things no one will mind esp if they benefit from it AHAHAHAHAHAHA:rotfl:

Watching The Lake House, its so beautiful, how does the time zone bit catch up so they are in the same year????

lol, I too am surfing the craft sites while OH watches Match of the day1

I have ony just caught on to this thread but need to be as organised as possible with presents this year as we have 30 people to buy for :eek: :eek: :eek:

So far I have 19 complete presents and a fair few bits which I need to sort through-need to get my gift book completed! However, I've bought lots in the sales (loads from superdrug and woolworths) and only spent £80 so far which I am really happy with. I have figured out if I can carry on at this average I will spend half of what we did last year!

I am not so au fait with the whole money neutral thing, I am more about getting organised and crafting but would love to keep up with your thread

the lake house totally confused me and I just didnt get it at all
Totally went over my head and couldnt understand why people had been going about it for ages.
So i have no idea - i just know there was a house and a dog and a man gets ran over or something

I know hobbycraft can be expensive but there is a sale on at the moment
lots of papermania items half price and lots of other things beside well worth a look
I picked up a kit to write letters to father christmas for 35p , some lovely disney gift bags for 45p

just remembered if any of you fancy making scrapbooks for birthday or christmas presents theres some great papermania floral ones in hobbycraft ( I admit I work there ) they come complete with papers, page protectors and some embellishments and they're only £7.33 ish they are such good value !!

I got a papermania birthdays scrap book starter set online for 99p but didnt have the page protectors or embellishments - just the book and the papers and 2 sheets of stickers.
But after looking at it i think ill concentrate on cards for a while
i want hobbycraft to move into the empty woolies store in my town

ooooooh thrifty gifty cyber crop sounds great - I'm up for that, definitely.

I'll do my bit and donate a prize if you like - I have scrapping stuff coming out of my ears here, and I just can't sell any of it, too emotional! I could put a pack together like say 5 papers, some ribbon, some embellishments and some letters. If you think it's appropriate.
