To craft all day long would be a dream come true for me as well (and gardening!)Oh if only........!
On the computer hey, well that's darn clever. I'm not that far advanced in all that. Have only
just cottoned on to re-sizing photos so that they dont jump out of the screen at you! The thing
is with gubbings they don't go off so you can always go back to it when the fancy takes you. :0)

I dip in and out of it now - esp when its someones brithday.. always make their cards etc - I enjoyed being on the team as I got to play with the new products - it sounds more glam than it actually was - just a few friends getting together and playing with paper and glue etc - cutting and sticking - lol - I enjoyed it! What things do you do hun??

morning all :wave:

Anyone else had the new Cath Kidston mag through the door this morning?

I had to laugh, it's very clothing focused this time but I cannot imagine anyone other than quirky, young, skinny things looking good in most of it.....I love it all just know how my short fat self would look in them! :rotfl:

Anyway, until I can get some dosh together to treat myself to the tea cup set I have decided to cut out the inside flap (shopping list) of the mag, which is a nice pink provence riose design and make myself a very MSE bookmark instead :rotfl:

Am going to have a go at shabby-ing up the hand turned pine lamp base I got at the booty a month or so back. Will pop back with pictures. x love you all xx

that cover flap is always lush isnt it - havent had a close up of the mag - just when I was at the outlet yesterday the lady had a quick peek to see what fabric was being continued or not as the case maybe - I said ooooohh new book are there any for customers - nope only the shop copy - oh well - will have to apply online for one! boo hoo

This is what I did get though

my daughter got the mug with her pocket money and we got her some star sunglasses too - soo cute!!! She is developing a taste for fine things already and she is only 6! lol!

We went into the Lush shop too and seeing as she had been a brave girl when she fell over and hurt her knee I treated her to a lush bath bomb - we popped it in the Ck bag not thinking and then with being on holiday forgot about it until we got home last night (dont like having a bath when away only a shower - like to know the bath is really clean iykwIm) anyway I digress when I pulled the fabric out last night to drool over - it smelt absolutely heavenly!!! Wish we had sniffavision on here - you'd love it !!

Hi, I have just stumbled upon this thread. Only looked at a couple of pages so far (I am supposed to be doing something else ) but I will return later to read more.

Can I join please?

Yep I had the CK mag today, I love the clothes and wish I could afford to buy loads, the long sleeved smock dress is so pretty. I'm planning to use the close ups of the fabric (on the bags bit) for crafting! I'm sure the shopping list will come in handy too. Do you get a copy sent each month then or do you have to keep ordering it online?

I had the last one, but not got this one. Just wondering the same Vicki.

newmee

Well as far as I know it just gets sent once you've requested one online before ...... I requested the last one (first one I recieved) online but this one just came automatically and was a pleasant surprise this morning!

Hi deborah

Was that the shop up the little side street? Did you see the green funeral directors? We have some great places down here. If anyone is near Wellington or Cullompton they both have great places like Steptoes yard. I bought two colanders today for 75p each and intend making hanging baskets from them.

That was the shop, it was lovley, very full but still fab to look around, would have spent longer in there but dds were not impressed lol, think we did spot the funeral directors, i have a bit of a thing about thoses and grave yards too,
