♥♥ MSE Organised For Christmas 2009 ♥♥

Hi all,

I've also been awol for a while although having quick reads now and again. I told myself I wouldn't start BB and would only watch them going in. However, with this twist I want to see their reaction to staying in that bare room for the night - so no doubt will be watching it until Sunday. By then no doubt I'll be hooked :mad: However, that small girl will make it hard viewing-she reminded me of someone from the previous years with all that squealing - only she seems even worse!

I managed to finish my cross stitch card and stick it in the aperture card the right way round although there was a bit of drama with the envelope LOL. However, finally it was posted and received well. Relief. Now I can think about the rest of the month.

Lucy Lu - you got some brilliant things thanks for the photo. There seems to be a craze for cupcakes now, you see them everywhere. Somerfields do trays with them on .

Mel - hope everything goes well for you this weekend

I've got the decluttering organsing bug - rearranging everything in the spare room to make it more like a nursery...have stolen some draw file thingys from my dad's to put my scrapping stuff in the cupboard so now I have to go through all my stash and organise them in to gems, papers, stamps, cristmas stuff etc;; etc;; I can see it taking a long time.

JAMMY - I love robert pattinson - he's so yummy - he's sometimes a bit of a geek in real laugh I think but as edward he is the most beautiful guy in the world. The boks are fantastic - better than the film.

Hello all !
Overslept this morning so got up all 'sluggish' feeling...........was going into town to get ribbon for MIL's birthday box and wrapping paper for grandsons pressies but couldn't be bothered.
Looking after next doors cats and went round this morning and they'd both ***** in the bath !!!!:eek: Last thing I needed to do was clear that lot up ! Then one of them went walkabout - no doubt it'll be back later when I pop round again...........least hope so !
So, not much done today so far, crafty or otherwise............one of those lazy days .............and why not:rotfl:

Mary, - a phrase I never expected to read on a craft thread LOL 'xxxx in the bath'

Scattymam - sometimes I find organising stash more satisfying than actually crafting.:rolleyes:

Where I live one of those Original Factory Shops has opened on the site of the old Woollies. Amongst all the household goods, stationery and children's crafts, I spotted a rack of well known craft supplies -papers, stickers, small memory kits etc lots cheaper than in the normal shops. They also had the large jars that you all use for gifts and I was on the lookout for - it was more than half the price I've seen elsewhere. It's going to be a huge temptation now, that shop. :mad:

We have one of those as well - not so long ago they had the huge Laura Ashley boxed kits for £9.99 - I often nip in there for bits and pieces. I've found they're quite good for ribbon rolls. Ours has smirk stuff in at the mo

Angela - apologies if it conjured up horrific pictures but honest, enough to put me off doing anything.............:rotfl:
Just been round again - all is well, nothing wrecked -**** in the right place and the wanderer returned............lol

Jammy - in my last post I meant rob patz was a geek in real life not real laugh like I wrote!!!

Angela - most of my scrapping time is spent just organising and looking through what I've got , etc; I love doing that.

Hello all
Computer played up this morning -kept getting #page cannot be displayed' everytime I wanted to click on a forum or thread so gave up in the end till now -seems ok (fingers crossed) at the minute.
Too cold to go bargain hunting round out Street Fair and not many people with tables out.......who can blame them. Least it didn't rain and I got a couple of laurel and hardy figures -tiny ones- for my son (loves them) and a glove puppet -not sure who'll have most fun out of that, Oldest son or grandson.................lol
Printer decided to work this morning :j so managed to print out instructions for flannel snowman.......just need to actually make one now.
Need Valli's brain for a verse as well...........got a gravy tub with a red lid, thought I'd put a Santa piccy on it -any ideas as to what I can put inside ? The tub of 'goo' I got for Santas snot is too small...........did think snowballs (bon bons/marshmallows) but open to any ideas as brain has gone numb............lol
Went to bed last night, couldn't sleep and was trying to work out a verse in my head for snowballs that aren't sweets but little white bath bombs. I've got some white bath salts as well and thought of putting them all in a little pot together..........so help folks please ?????
