Rusty, saw your to do list about posting a journal jar. Could you either use a plastic jar (Julian Graves sell them) or a small drawsting bag in place of a jar???

Made my mum a square around mini album for her Mother's Day card. Have posted pics on the Card Making thread as I made it for the current challenge and have also posted pics on my new blog, yep girls I have ventured into blogdom... http://rainmacsplace.blogspot.com/ No clue what I am doing or how to format so I don't have huge random gaps appear everywhere??? Please don't laugh as I have no clue what I'm doing at the moment but hopefully I'll get there

There are loads of fab ways to make min albums on this site... http://www.making-mini-scrapbooks.com/index.html. All you need is paper and card and you can make beautiful keepsakes I really enjoyed making the square around card as it involved no measuring or cutting and only folding and gluing :T

Your albums look fantastic! I am soo jealous as I can't make things so pretty!!!

Thankyou for the ideas, the drawstring bag might be the way forward need to get it done this weekend so it has a couple of weeks to arrive, although will still probably be late!

Oh and as for your blog ... consider yourself [strike]STALKED[/strike] Followed

Rusty,well done on all your jobs completed. :T can you tell me how to makea sock monster? is it really difficult? would love to make some for my own monsters :rotfl:

Erm Erm Erm ... I will bump up the thread for you, there are plenty of variety of instructions on there, for monsters I just tend to do my own thing and adapt a sock monkey pattern. Now I don't even use a pattern though Will post pics soon as I have 2 bodys but one needs his bits stitching. Can't finish them tonight as I want to buy some star buttons tomorrow from town.

I can confirm that phunkles speaks the truth. It is unbelievable. PJs teamed with fake Ugg boots (nothing against fake ugg boots, but not with pjs!:eek:) orange skin and bleached blonde hightlights. :eek:

Tis true indeed.
But theres now a rise in wearing like curlers?rollers? things i dont know im not that girlie in your hair whilst wearing the above outfit.
And not just sit in the car and kicking out on the naughty lines. - Actual walking to the playground and dropping off and picking up at 3.30pm I love picking my godsons up and giggling with their mum, Also a long knitted cardigan is sometimes worn.

Ah I love this City - oh and not expensive pjs either - Primarks finest will do.
And whilst I was teaching in the city I overheard 13year olds discussing which jarmas they where going to wear out that night whilst consuming cider on a field :eek:

Mornin' all........well while you lot were being creative,making monkeys, updating your blogs (I must get one of my own!) eating chocolate........I was sleeping. Came home from work/ orthodontist/doctors/picking up dd2 at her friends and was totally knacked! Went for a bath,and that was me for the night sound asleep before 8pm. That's what happens when you're my age obviously.....or maybe it's just me!

Hope you all have a good weekend, I missed the postie yesterday and have a scrummy stash parcel to pick up. I ordered letters and buttons and something else I can't remember. so need to pick that up and go to opticians with dd2 and then go to swimming lessons and then by about 11.15am either collapse in a heap or go for a cuppa with my friend!!

Catch you later Mx

scattymam1

me too mhagster - have to walk to town later with dd as husband has car for work today (there are no buses - it's not too far anyway) to pick up scrummy parcel.
Rusty - those socks are brill - very funky design - I'm going to pop in to the pound shop while I'm in town for some socks- what do you stuff them with? I'm going to get started for christmas.
Love your blog rainmac - I just want to make everything you make but I can't keep up! I favourite all your links so I can go back to them.

Errr, yes you can missus Rusty and you have, your card for the challenge is fantastic :T The square around album was easier than the box cos you just folded 12x12 papers and stuck them together. I like easy

Love your sock monsters, they are fantastic, your monsters will love them :T
