Gemm thankyou so much for my gorgeous blingy ATC. It came in this mornings post and I love it, thankyou. I will be posting mine in the morning, on my way to the Paper Mill Shop near York

glad you like it, enjoy your trip to the paper mill shop! the one nearest me is closing down I went a few weeks ago to see if there was any bargains but it was mostly carp left, I am hoping they will have a stall at the NEC

Rusty, I rarely make currys but when I do I always cheat and use a curry paste. We did have a good time at the Lego shop, came away £20 lighter though I love the MD card on your blog, it's beautiful x

I want to enter this week's Passion for Promarkers challenge so I've ordered the two colours I need in order to enter

Hope everyone's ok xxx

I've had a brilliant morning - cleaned the kitchen, living room, hoovered whole house, tidied and cleaned DS1's room (that on it's own is one hell of a task!!!), cleaned bathrooms and washed the kitchen floor. I am at peace with the nags in my head now I hate being or feeling like I'm in a mess and half term threw me last week cos I didn't seem to be able to get my usual cleaning done with both boys at home.

Wifey did you look at the older posts - many red hats and old sepia scripts etc too

Rusty I've got a brilliant curry book that I use in the house. What kind are you looking for and I can send you the recipe tonight.

I've left comments on everyones blogs (nice ones of course). I've posted OH's birthday card on my blog and I'm in the process of making my Mother's Day cards. I think I'm gonna be going down the sepia road for at least one of these - Wifey your card has definately inspired me.

Boy oh boy! Did I! got all the links to her blog, so brilliant, can't thank you enough. Let me know if you want some of those scripty flowers 'cos they are so easy to do, just punch out 8-10 circle with a scallop punch, a brad through the middle and then... SCRUNCH! They can also be cut about three or four layers at a time with a nestie. The best part was spraying the papers from an old and tired paperback that had been sitting in the sun with Glimmer Mist gold and then dabbing the inks on the edges and smearing the ink over the pages, kids stuff...messy...great!!

I've just pm'd you.

£20 lighter? see that would be me, but if OH came then it would probably be closer to £200 :eek: he can't resist buying the kids lego and stuff, he came back from aberdeen one week with a tub of lego!! £40 in toys r us but he just doesn't think about prices!! :eek:

Busy lady! now it must be time to have a cuppa and some cake?

Another quick make on my blog!! busy busy! off to make some more now! :rotfl: although I must keep an eye on the time or I will forget to pick up DS from school!

:rotfl: Ive spent my morning checking through the daily dare blog to find challenges for my cards. I gave in, in the the end and followed Rusty :rotfl:.

So i have 2 new cards on my blog and i think i have linked my blog, to my name clicky homepage thing ? I am not very technically minded, at all !!:o

Fantastic cards everyone. I will have to catch up later though as i need to go for DS. If i dont go now, i will do a Rusty .... but forget to check the time

Thinking of you and your family Flourgirl

Have been practicing with my new Martha Stewart punch, had to go onto you tube to see how to use it, but at least I am getting there.

Was going to make some cards today, but have just spent 20 minutes looking for my computer mouse, think I need to spend a few hours clearing up my craft room

I found it on facebook haha

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug

Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly.

Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.

Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.

Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes on high. The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed! Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.

I put it in a ceral bowl and was enough for 2 people.
