    Hello, sorry to sneak in but you popped up while I was looking for a voucher code.
    I've ordered my Dad a personalised photo mug from photobox.
    I saw someone posted the snapfish discount but I wasn't a fan of the choice of designs on snapfish.
    So in case any of you are as picky as me there is a free delivery offer for fathers day mugs and also 20% off all father's day gifts (it works out cheaper to get free delivery than 20% off if u get a mug)
    Free 1st Class Delivery on all Personalised Photo Mugs at Photobox FDMUGPOST


    20% off Father's Day gifts


    Offer ends: Midnight 4th June ‘09

    How to take advantage:
    1. Order any gift featured in the Father's Day gift store
    2. Enter the offer code DADSAVE20 in your basket and click OK next to the offer box
    3. Checkout in a single order to receive your 20% discount

    Included products: all products featured on the Father's Day gift store
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    rufusdog -they look lovely................makes me want to do something with a velvet/chenille patchwork top I've got lurking in my wardrobe thats now too big. Have't got a machine but maybe blanket stitch would work.
    Love the colours you've used.:T

    I'm creative -you can't expect me to be neat too !

    Pinkladymel: just wanted to say I share your sentiment expressed on your last piece of work shown on creativity life competition. cant do linky things !
    My oldest 2 have only 17 months between them and at the beginning it was just constant work but they have always had each other .....and hopefully will always have.

    good luck with this months competition, did you enjoy having a whole kit to work with?

    Mhags Do you mean my second to last piece of work? Thank you so much, that is so lovely of you to actually view my work close up and read the journalling. xx My little ones only have 14 months between them and I thought it would be easier to get it all over with at the same time but boy was it hard work and it doesn't get any easier with the terrible three's and the attitudes.. I am guessing it only gets worse LOL ;) I salute you! Oh and boy.. I'm not complaining.. I LOVE my kids but i'm biased!!

    Mary I would imagine some lovely fleece would blanket stitch well into a nice cushion or handbag. I am laughing at you and your cobweb chasers. What really made me laugh is when Rainmac said she could imagine you and your husband sitting down to gravy every single night!! :D

    Rufus Your patchwork bags are gorgeous and I think my favourite is the red and black one.. it looks so luxurious! I love the colour of the blue one though. You are very talented, must have taken you ages to make that jumper. Bet you could sell a few of them at Christmas!

    SamiBee thanks a lot for the extra recommendation on fathers day presents, that is really kind of you to help whilst looking for something for yourself :)

    Anglea I hope your cross stitch card is successful, have you tried aperture cards with the little window? I have been organising my home all year so that when the Organised plan starts I am not overwhelmed but I didn't think that some people would not have seen the plan before. I shall keep this in mind for Rudolph day, thanks a lot :) you're a star!! x

    Melsharpshooter Thank you for your vote and your support :) It's great to see you posting on here and I will check out your blog in a bit ;)

    Shevtastic Make sure you get the wedding you want, it is all over so fast and you have to make sure it is perfect. Who cares if it's in Vegas, as long as you're happy. Sounds like Vegas is a special place for you now too. You could compromise and go there on a honeymoon. Men get cold feet because weddings are like shopping but once you start showing him a few fun entertainment ideas, talking about outfits and stag nights he will soon come around to it, I'm sure ;) Oh and thanks for all your run up to christmas blurb.. talk about making me excited!!!

    Chocolate Orange I know you posted today but I think it was before I last posted or something LOL I don't want to miss you out!! Thanks for the cobweb links and it's great to see you back :D xxxx
