Hello everyone:j
Firsty can I say a huge THANk YOU to Craftygranny I was so touched by the lovely papers,images,card and clearblock, I'm thrilled to bits, I cant stop looking at them!
Rusty how is your LO now? hope she's on the mend
Rainmac Awh well done on the dentist visit, hope you are ok
Polly your card is gorgeous, all your cards are infact! I'm liking the sound of this red tinsel embosing powder!
Choccy I'll be thinking of you.

Well some good news, I went for an interview yesterday and they called to say I got the job, I'm so amazed you wouldn't believe it, It's still with the same authority just moving departments and I'm only actually moving one floor away! I'm so scared and excited, the job seems quite intense so I'm starting to worry if I'm doing the right thing!

I also had a chat with my OH last night he asked me what I wanted to do for my hen night, sooooo I've decided instead of a hen night I'm meeting up with my crafty buddies at the NEC!!!!!! I told some friends today about it and they think I'm totally bonkers but girls there is nothing I would want more than to spend the day with you all it will be my HEN DAY!! Have we decided what date we are going?

Huge congratulations Hels, and there was you not wanting to go for the interview :rolleyes: :rotfl: When are you due to start the new job? Very exciting, new job and getting married in the space of 4 months

Fab news about the NEC :T :j :T :j, several people have said they want to go on the Friday, how's that for you? Can we dress up with tiaras or something - not that I have a tiara ;-)

Oops - forgot to ask - tea bag and post it note holders - what sort of cardstock do you all use? I'm not sure if I need something a bit thicker.

I used Bazzill cardstock and that worked well as it's quite thin

Oh I love it!!!! Such pretty colours!! Well done Rainmac! I think I will give this a go in a few weeks, do you reckon you could attach something to the back to make it stand up?

Cheers Jammy You could definitely make it stand up, if you folded a small rectangular piece of thickish card in half and stuck one half to the back at the bottom of the coaster, the other half should hold the coaster up (I think ), it's only chipboard so very light. You could also cover this card to match the paper you've used so it all co-ordinates

Mornin' all! Hope every is better if you've been under the weather and that Rusty's wee 'un is better too.

Lovely little calender, rainmac, left a comment on your blog.

Congrats to hels for a new job!

Will be an Essex frog and go blog hopping tonite. A marathon read on here last night, have a little dent in the forehead whereI fell asleep and the head hit the keyboard :eek:

LOL at the Wife - is that an Essex girl who likes to wear green . I'm originally an Essex girl but moved 25 years ago - just frightened myself working out how long ago it was :eek:.

You could attach the calendar to a cd case with the hinge at the top to make it stand up when you open it - might need something like a bit of ribbon attached inside to stop it doing foal impressions though

Does anyone need acrylic or watercolour paints? Trying to clear out the kitchen of stuff I don't need and I don't think I need about 10 boxes of each lol.... in case we have a happy event either of the canine or baby persuasion... canine looking infinitely more possible lol

Been trying to get on crafty place but won't seem to load so can't see if there's a swaps section on there or anything



EDIT: oh goodness don't look at the dirty microwave lol
