God no! Most of the blogs on there involve costly papers etc. I have them, but as I am skint I am looking to do stuff on the cheap with excellent results.

Thanks RF.x:D

Do you have a blog? I haven't worked out how to follow anyone elses yet?

Anyway, wait until I start on me bunting.

For the record, my poor hubs isn't doing all of the work as he isn't well enough. Thankfully DS Godfathers are both builders, so do it for free.

I do ... but I just click buttons randomly without knowing what I am doing :rotfl: Mine is : http://dropletsinarustybucket.blogspot.com/

When you go on it there is a box which says followers underneath it says follow or sign in if you click follow you should be able to Not really sure if that is right but that is how I have been doing it


I like you can't afford costly papers, I just save them from the net and print them off myself

The whole idea is to create a room that looks like a designer one for pennies rather than pounds. A la Laura Ashley.

I bought a box from B&Q today for DS to put treasure in. It was unpainted and smooth pine. DH couldn't have made one for this money so I am working on this as well.
