    Can someone kindly point me in the direction for the scallop edged cards that Rainmac uses. I asked her before and thought I had saved the link but now can't find it and don't want to hassle her again when I should have ordered straight away!

    Thankyou ladies :)

    I made some cards today :D They're very simple, just used some of the stick on embellishments I got from WH Smiths but I think they look quite pretty. One is a bit wonky but i'm going to change that one if I can get the embellishments off without ruining them.

    I've added them to my new blog anyways so if you fancy a nosy.... http://bighworld.blogspot.com/

    My niece popped round earlier so I gave her some card making bits and bobs, it'd be good for her to have a hobby, her mum is horrible and doesn't do anything with her at all.

    I'm so hungry, better go and get some tea! :)
    :heart: Think happy & you'll be happy :heart:

    Thanks Mel, thats the one!!! :D I couldn't for the life of me find it :(

    I tried to make a hair bow for DD just and it is a complete disaster :( I think I have used the wrong kind of ribbon and it just generally looks poo :( The destructions I found are sooooo easy DD could follow them herself ! yet mine just looks a mess :(

    I didn't bother to attatch the clip to the back as I am not happy with it!

    Don't want to hassle me? You never hassle missus Rusty :rolleyes: They do two sizes of the cards, one set of 50 cards for £5 and the other is 50 for £6.50 and they come in white and cream. I can send you one of each is you want to see the size difference? Let me know ;)

    We had a fab day at the zoo and then went out for dinner, whole lot paid for with Tesco vouchers :T Except the ridiculous priced ice-creams we had at the zoo and drinks with meal ;) Have taken lots of pics, will add to facebook when I get the chance.

    Bunbun, I'd try ebay for games as reckon you would probably get more £ than a car boot sale. But saying that me and Oh did a carboot sale a while back and made over £200 from lots of bits and pieces I'd gathered together. We were amazed.

    What are you lot doing off of here that is such a laugh??? Tell me, tell me, I want to know :p

    DS1 is off school tomorrow for a blinking teacher training day. They've just had 2 weeks off and need another day apparently :rolleyes: So he goes back on Tuesday which is actually good as he hasn't started his homework of "drawing a picture of an item in the house that is programmable paying particular attention to buttons and dials". They want a digital photo as well so will be dashing to Boots for one of those tomorrow. They are going to think I am so crazy taking a pic of the washing machine :D

    Hola lovely gorgeous laydees :)
    Ive nearly done my xmas shopping for extended family yippee and all for under 100 quid *is ignoring the fact I have acquired new family to buy for in the last month so im not counting them he can sort them out - plus i dont like half of them so im not spending my cash on them hehe*
    Im up to my eyeballs in uni work yet again :( and family boring stuff and meh I need to log on here more and escape from reality.
    and havent hardly been on here lately sob sob
    I miss my thrifty lovelys
    And nappycake laydee well i cant say what she should do pah picking on the lovely rusty like that
    The thanks thing i normally go back through the thread and give thanks to people but if im using pgdn button sometimes i miss people so if ive ever missed you its not on purpose and i am sorry honest :)

    So hiya - hope everyone enjoyed Easter :)
    And its nearly Xmas - ive been humming jingle bells for days :s
    Love is the answer. At least for most of the questions in my heart,
    Like why are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?
    It's not always easy,And sometimes life can be deceiving,
    I'll tell you one thing, its always better when we're together
