you're all bad influences. I never had a single thought about doing crafts in my life. not one. i was quite happy with my shoe-buying hobby, didn't need anything else.
but yesterday, i went and spent another £35 on scrapbooking stuff and fabrics in Range :eek: and i've been buying stuff from bookstores all week! and i'm meant to be saving!
(i'm only joking :heart2: you all really!):iloveyou:
trying to think of things to make for valentines day that men would actually like now. and i've decided i need a crimper.:D

Oooh i really need a crimper too


Just incase pinkladymel says we need one for the group task on UK Scrappers :rotfl: ..... It will be great fun to tell hubby that Mel said i need one ( I expect her inbox will be full of rants off irrate OH's :rotfl: ) Just kidding BTW Mel he wouldnt dare.... i would disconnect his xbox360 :eek:

Wellwellwell...I leave you alone for 24 hours and this is what happens....I don't know...craft junkies, twins, ukscrappers, kickboxing hoodies (love her explanation of why she doesnt wnat a 2nd karate lesson mum2one bless!!) .... I have so much to catch up on!!

I have just had our engagement party it was brilliant, had a lovely day, everyone was SO generous we prob have enough ££ to buy a washing machine and have had LOADS of brilliant presents (stuff you would buy for wedding presents) so we have been amazingly lucky. Got some great pics.....just need to scrap 'em now


Edit: Crimpers/Ribblers are really not worth it, I iz not a fan

jAMTART- Congrats on the engagement party, hope MrJamtart (to be ), realises how lucky he is to have you! x

Congratulations jamtart, look forward to seeing the pics when they've been 'scrapbooked'. Is that a word? Sounds better than 'scrapped', lol x

jamtart6

jailhousebabe - it certainly can be a word

thanks for all the wellwishers. Mr Jamtart is actually hilarious. He seems to have been made without a 'coping' device and goes to pieces when anything remotely stressful occurs. He is currently getting over getting engaged and I couldn't possibly mention a wedding date until he has recovered. I'm not sure he even enjoyed today as he was 'stressfully' making drinks for everyone all day! He is hilarious! I do love him lots though! He does get fed up of me taking pics of us though..I'm always striving for a perfect snap to scrap!

Hello everyone!

Hope you are all well.

Well, artistically challenged as I am, I attempted to make two birthday cards this weekend - one for a friend's daughter and one for my dad. They were very simple and I am quite pleased with them as a beginner! Then I looked at the UKscrappers site and realised I have a loooong way to go before I am doing anything like those clever ladies!!

Anyway, I really enjoyed myself and it was a great way to spend a very rainy afternoon with my two DD's getting involved as well. I also discovered what a treasure trove my DD1's craft box is - full of sequins, glitter, lovely coloured paper, sparkly things - brilliant!

Hi everyone!
Was too tired to sell anything at the weekend so am a bit behind! But am here now!
Is the UKS team a points earning team or a social group? If it's a social group then I can join, if not then I can't join as I'm already in one, boo. But my username is the same on here as on there, so add me if you want a new friend to chat to!
