Plenty left Wifey, I'm winging some over to you now. It will soon be your birthday and you can get some diving practice in and eat the cake!!

I think your fall has affected you more than you thought, plus after all the excitement of your Canadian trip and the weather being so carp its quite easy to feel a bit grim. Sending you hugs too ((((xx)))) Postie is on his way

I think the word to describe how I'm feeling today is GRIM! What is it? I've felt awful for the last two months.

Dr flourgirl, I'm positive that some of your apple crumble will help, is there a tiny scrapping left in the dish, perhaps?

You'll have to fight me for any leftover crumble missus So sorry you are still feeling like poop. I don't know what's going on, my boys have been poorly on and off for weeks. DS1's temperature has come down this morning - it's 34 which is blinking low, DS2 woke up with another gunky ear so off to docs with him this afternoon, hopefully for some drops or medicine to clear it up.

Glittermum, I LOVE your pics, they are fabulous!!! How quickly did you receive them, do you just send a photo? Hope your son's ear inproves quickly. Thinking of your friend and her family today, 12 hours is a long time to be sitting waiting for her to come out of surgery xxx

Gemm, please do scan the pic and blurb, I'd love to see it and flipping glad I'm not in it How they could make JHB look fat (her words!) is beyond me so if it's possible I would be house sized :eek:

I am cooking my first ever slow cooker meal today, beef stew. As the boys have been off food and faddy for days now I'm going to offer to serve it with mash, chips or rice, I don't care, just need them to start eating properly. I keep looking through the lid of the pot, the smell is gorgeous!!!

I made 3 cards last night, very pleased with myself and had a lovely evening making them. OAP sent me some beautiful stamped boy images (thank you sooooo much lovely lady xxx) and colouring one of those in got me in the mood to keep making! All 3 cards fit challenges too so that's good too Flourgirl, I haven't put me into the pot for the Allsorts DT team, they'd laugh at me for sure

Saw this little paper basket tutorial today, going to have a go later, looks easy enough for me to do I think? Would be lovely for Easter baskets or for little gifts.

Welcome back JHB, missed you lady xxx :beer: :j :T

Can anyone please explain to silly me how to amend my header on my blog? I have worked out how to import an image but where can I go to create my own image? Do I need fancy software to do it? Thank you x

Hi everyone,
About to play catch up with yesterday's posts but have just updated my latest make on my blog - anniversary card

Well I am aching all over - I went to legs, bums and tums yesterday - its the first time some of my muscles have been used in years and they're punishing me for it today!!! Hopefully I'll be recovered in time for next weeks' class. On a brighter note my spring set of cc design stamps arrived today - I haven't had a proper look yet but hopefully I'll be playing with them later. You get 9 character, 2 accessories and loads of little sentiments stamps for about £32 quid. Its quite exciting though because you don't actually know what you're getting until they arrive - I 'd only seen a couple of the characters, but they look fab!!

Thriftyscotslass - your card is gorgeous - I love how you've cut up the image - it looks really effective.

Lyndach - I hope everything gets sorted and you feel better soon.

Dawnteabag - can't wait to see the finished bunting - the flowers look fabulous and Tom's thank you cards are great - love the space ship!!! Huge congrats on your win!!!

Craftygranny - sorry to hear about your Brother-In-Law, I'm thinking about you and your family.

TomsMum - huge hugs to you too - sorry to hear about your Mum.

Flourgirl - I love all your box cards they are all stunning - you are clever - boxes are my nemesis - they never work for me!!! Good luck with all your challenges!!! Thanks for the instructions - they are very clear! That's great news about your Dad!

PepPop - your denim bag is amazing, and your cards are fab - I can't believe your parents have been together for 62 years!!!

Sunrise - I love your valentine's day card - those envelopes are so cute and your apron cards are fab!

Savingmummy - welcome to the thread!

Glittermum - I'm so glad your friend liked her a card - the "puppies" theme was a great idea! I hope her surgery goes well!!! Your "little musings" are fab!!!

Skiergirl - I hope things return to normal for you soon!

Mary - glad to hear you're okay now - it must have been really scary - are you going to turn vegetarian???

Ct19720 - Your butterfly cards are lovely - the butterfly looks so intricate! Your glittery one made me gasp "oowww" out loud it is so pretty. Love the invites too.

Rainmac - sorry to hear you and DS's are sick again, it seems as though as soon as you get rid of one virus another comes along!!! Make sure you cheer yourself up and buy loads of crafty bits!!! Your cards are lovely - I really like the lili image - I was going to buy some of their new stamps - I keep forgetting.

Jailhousebabe - welcome back - I hope things return to normal for you soon!!!!!

Ali - Hope you feel better soon.

Lou - your anniversary card is lovely - really pretty colours!!
