:bdaycake: Happy Birthday Sammy !!:j

Hope you've had a great birthday. You're so right.........this year seems to have flown past -can't believe we're 2 weeks away from August !

I'm better organised (I think) than last year but I think that comes from a period of convalescence where I couldn't do much except 'sit' so I got a fair few bits made...........then being without a computer gave me time to do other stuff so I'm getting there.
Eldest son has a birthday in August so better start thinking what to give him -he always like money but I like to give him a few 'silly' bits as well. I've a few that just want finishing off.............thats my trouble....starting things then taking an age to complete them.
Best of luck with the christmas decs. I want to do some little felt ones this year.........got the felt, just need to make a start:rotfl:

Oh dear... Maybe I am going over the top.


The littles one have run in yelling "Yah, Santa is coming" and shoved a Christmas DVD on.... They've got a bit of a wait.

Happy Birthday Sammy.

I have dispatched my OH into the loft with some pressies.

I was gonna say I am not crafty but considering I have my own jewellery business that would not be true. For some reason I never every make jewellery for gifts......... hmmmm

I have been super organised today.

I have been shopping and got loads of stuff to make cards and tags.

I have made 6 pots of gold, 3 retro sweet jars, 2 knickerbocker glory sweet jars and 3 x baby sock spice jars.

Just gonna whip some labels together to finish them off nicely and i may just post a pic later. Just cos im so pleased with myself.

Although the woman in the shop said - you're buying xmas stuff in July are you mental? NO was my reply just super organised.

oooh what are baby sock spice jars ? ??

My Primeval dvd arrived today from sendit (brilliant fast postage) so will be hiding that away Going to need to find a box to put all my Christmas finds away in otherwise they'll end up scattered all over the place. Considering doing a dvd/movie hamper for my OH but I'm already making him a little chilli hamper as well so don't know about doing them both. Might wait til Valentines day or something for the movie one? Hmmm
