Hayley - they are great cards!

Rusty - sorry about the other miniRusty being poorly Hope he gets well soon. I saw your website for nappuy cakes, they are brilliant I would LOVE to receive one!

Choccy - I have a sizzix, but barely use it. I get cheap die cuts starting from 1p for 20 shapes from a seller on eBay and combined postage. PM me if you want her username (it is not me!) so by the time I have cut the shapes and paid for the card, it does not even pay me to do it!

PLM- Glad you had a good night!!

Well done for winning February Scrapbook Apprentice Yay! can't wait to see more work!

I have decided I need a crop-a-dile. Are they good? Do they work with all size snaps/eyelets? My eyelet setter is one of the fiskars things on a spring that you have to snap to make a hole, very rubish and noisy!Hence I shy away from eyelets and snaps (despite loving them!) 'cos I can't be @ssed with the setter!

You is also actually beautiful but we already knew that from your lovely youtube tutorial Love the pancake action shot!

Hi Phunks! Hi JordanShannon!


Hi Rainmac ! You have totally put my exploding box to shame!!! I love yours so much, what are the papers and embellishmentS?? ooh I feel a 'supply' shop coming on here! Love the colours, its awesome! I couldn't score my lid properly! I also think that box would be applicable for all. I feel awful for people without mother's on Mother's day, but that box could be done as a memory type thing, for people who's Mummys are no longer with us too. Lovely. Love corner rounder punches too!

Hi rufus - how did your craft day go? see my message to choccy orange above about the sizzix shapes that are cut for you on eBay.

Scatty - I love the idea of a pantry too! My g'dad has one, complete with 1950's wallpaper, I love it, it is like a total time warp! Love that house (has been there since 1950) You sometimes just know when a house is right. Good on you #


mum2one - WHOOP!!!!!! DID SOMEBODY MENTION CHRISTMAS?! Yee-haww so excited, less than 10 months to go


All crafters - I think this is super cute http://glitteradventure.blogspot.com/2009/03/make-your-dreams-come-true.html also from Anso who made the exploding boxes


Well hi all - I feel like I have missed out on loads! How are you all doing?? Tried to reply to all as best of possible. Hi to anyone I missed!

Today has been DIY Sunday, yesterday was "Work Saturday" as every other Saturday is, then on my only day off I kill myself doing DIY. House is coming along well, bought a few bits today that totalled £120, I swear to god there was nothing on the trolley. How does this happen? Good job I've taken all this extra work on! Have been missing crafting loads but unfortunately lifes priorities are currently completely different for a few months: Grandad, Family, Work #1, House, Work #2, College course...err where is 'me time', where is 'wedding planning'?? Sadly never at the moment! (note that friends aren't even on there!) I see my OH for a Saturday night and a Sunday at the moment, and no other times on a Saturday we both just want to chill, on a Sunday we are house focused. So life feels a bit odd at the moment, and I am trying to enjoy time with everyone when I can! I WANT TO SCRAPPPPPPPPPP! I think you should all make me a blank page of scrapbooking pages and send them to me and I'll just add the photos. It can be called 'Scrap 4 Jammy' 'The lazy gals guide to scrapping'!!

Anyway, done nothing with regards to my Dad's birthday in 3 weeks, I literally have NO idea what to buy him! What do Dad's need??? Same with Mother's Day, I'm totally struggling, and as you can tell, don't have the time for 'thoughtful' gifts really as I'd rather spend the time with the person! Although I'm thinking I could give Mum my scrapbook 8"x8" that I made before xmas and say I will make her a new page each birthday and each xmas...that way when I have more time (hopefully by May) I can carry this gift on, and it just keeps on giving??

Morning All

Sorry I've been AWOL, been really busy here, everytime I have caught up with all the posts I have been needed for some mundane task around the house and have forgotten what you have all been up too :eek: and not had chance to post and say hello.

Me and OH had to go and clear the furniture out of his Uncles Flat on friday, so we had a bit of a sad friday really. My mum had the kids for us though so we called for a few drinks and something to eat on the way home which cheered us both up a little bit.

Saturday was spent running about shopping and paying bills again, I wish my postman would stop bringing me bills:mad: didn't get any bargin pressies in Mr T's but OH did buy be a brand spanking new LAPTOP (He's sooooooooooo nice) its great, shiney blue :j :j :j and I love it. Just can't seem to work it out yet LOL.... everytime I thank all your posts it flips me back to the top of the page :eek: I will suss it out though. Need to set up the wireless router thingy today so I can use it without plugging it in.

Yesterday I was rushing around with DS1, taking him to a District Cub Badge day, bless him though he had a great time and managed to get his First Aid and Road safety Badges :j :j , while he was there my mum dragged me all round Oldham looking in shops :rolleyes: and I spent a fortune so thats me and mine on bread and jam now this month after all we have spent this weekend....:o

I hope everyone is OK, and all the LO are feeling better this week.

PLM - Hope you had a lovely time when you went out, and your picture is lovely of you and MR Pink.

hayley11 - Your cards are really Beautiful

Rainmac - What can I say about your exploding box...... ITS WONDERFUL!!

Well I need to get another COFFEE, got to go see the nurse at 7am and I'm not even dressed yet...

Catch you all later

Have a great day

Morning everyone

Had a good day yesterday but very tiring, spent the morning doing some more pages for OH's scrapbook, I am half way there now, not really a scrap book like the ones you lot are doing, more of a photo album with pics from the years, I have done one page for each year. (He's hovering while I'm trying to type lol so keep having to minimise the page).

Sorted out botht he rooms upstairs, that was a big job :eek:, Didnt finish until after 5 yesterday but glad I have done it, need some nice book shelves now for all my books.

Anyway have some tidying up to do so catch you all later xx
