Jailhousebabe - thanks - that's so lovely of you to say. One of the women that entered is meant to be quite famous in the scrapbooking world and always wins loads of things - so she'll probably win it!!!

Ali and dragonflew - fingers crossed I'll get your swaps in the post tomorrow - I'll try and stamp some images tonight to send to you both too.

Hey everyone, just popping in quickly! I've been really busy recently what with being on a rampage trying to lose weight (doing well though - have already lost over a stone) and trying to teach myself some programming languages. Have updated my blog after what seems like forever with some decorated candles. Sorry for not mentioning anyone individually but i'm off to comment on your blogs now x

Well I don't know you but I had a look at the competiton and can honestly say I voted for what I thought was the best one which was yours. I say I don't know you but I am rather worryingly beginning to feel like a stalker on this site as I feel myself being more and more sucked into the crafting collective. At the moment the lack of materials, funds to purchase materials and time is holding me back but for how long I am not sure!

Thank you! Lol i've cut my calories down (probably 1000 a day) and have been going to the gym 4 times a week! I lost 3 1/2 stone two years ago then met my boyfriend and put 2 stone back on so am being really strict. I want to lose 4 1/2 stone by my 21st birthday in July x

flourgirl I'm so sorry but i'm going to have to blame you. I had a look at the promarkers and 16 of them were colours i didn't have and they fell into my basket and the naughty elves used my paypal account to pay.
One good thing though i sorted out the ones i have so that i could bring my chart up to date . I got me 3 sets of little mesh drawers from the range 3.99 each and just the right size for promarkers.

Lei-Armstrong - you are serious - the gym 4 times a week!!!!!! My downfalls are that I hate exercise and love cake - what am I to do?

I've bought some images from Pollycraft, and made them into cards. I put them on my blog and have just had an email asking if I will make a lady some for her daughter...is that allowed? I can't find anything on the site, so I'm not sure.

Does anyone know? I really hope you can, I've never been asked like this and I feel quite proud

Edited to add, I agree Mel, yours was so much better then the rest. I'm envious of your talent!

Thank you so much
I think most of the time I can't see for looking...I'm pleased, so far this week has just consisted of my bed (I'm so bored of my room, I haven't really been out of it since last Thursday...sigh!) but I've spent a lot on craft stuff. Amazing how that happens, lol!

I can't wait to get my promarkers, and I bought my first lot of ribbons from Ribbon Mad, which I've just had an email to say is now being processed. Odd time to be working but I'm glad I won't have to wait two weeks!

I love this thread. Thank you all! You've really kept my spirits up.
