Gemm thank you for a cracking card, she's lovely and your cutting out is really good. I'm as good as 2 year old with pinking shears. I'll post a pic over at CP.

Yay - I'm so glad you like it :j

How much was the discount from the dress co for salesadmin? Hope we've managed to fund a few more promarkers :rotfl:. Wonder what else we can save you a few quid on .

Dunno about the paper but their chalks are great - went off to have a look and found this shop - gorgeous designs - who would like the elves tonight :D;)

How lovely does the chatterbox artsy.licisious collection look not MSE though

The above thread has links to other things you can make with paper & card that may be useful for ideas.

Well done Hels on the new job - when do you start?

Love the idea of a Hen Day at the NEC -

getting drunk I can do & silly games too as long as I don't have to wear the sort of outfits hen parties wear when they go parading down the promenade in Blackpool. (Mini skirts, stiletto heels & flashing bunny ears):rotfl:

Polly - lovely card - your colours look fabulous together.

Rainmac - glad it went okay at the dentist. I've had a bit of a bad week spending wise too - I spent 13 quid at bubbly funk, and I've gone a bit overboard and bought loads of charms from ebay, plus there's loads of stuff that I want from bjpayne.

Craftygranny - I've nearly sorted your xmas stash out - I'm just having a bit of trouble getting to the post office at the minute, so it might be a while before you get it - but don't worry - its not that I've forgotten you!

Lucy Lu - welcome back!!!!!

Hels - congratulations on your new job! Sounds like a fab idea for a hen party!!!!

Slap my hands i gave someone a card today that i had bought :eek: I have so much on at the moment and put my hands up i am majorly over doing it at the minute being nurse maid to hubby, looking after and entertaining ds, and getting ready for my craft fair this weekend i don't know if i am coming or going. I totally forgot that it was my friends little girl's bday today, thankfully i had a shop bought card from ages ago and popped it around. I think when ds starts school in spet i will just sleep every day for a week and chill:rotfl:

Any way i have just put some baby cards on my blog http://littlebundlesbabycakes.blogspot.com/ for my craft fair.
Hubby spent all day doing me a website then found out when he went to publish it that i couldn't use my domain name i had already bought doh, back to square one and a wasted day. Not that he can do any thing else but sit on the sofa.

Tomorrows jobs are sister in laws birthday card and my grandads birthday card for friday.

The cards are quite basic as i find people around here are only willing to pay £1- £1.50 for a card
