    Furrypig - sorry I missed you from my earlier post :o.Thank you for the info about craft shops (or lack of them !) near you. I'm sure my DH will be pleased :rotfl:

    Shame you're not going to West Sussex then you could go in the Glitter Pot :rotfl:. Could you get a bit lost ;)

    Dragon - have a great time in Norwich - I've had some very memorable nights out at Riverside when I used to live down there - OH and I had our first date at the Castle :p

    I accept no responsibility for shopping elf deliveries - I got precisely nowt today not even a free leaflet :D.

    Glad DD seems better Rusty - she wasn't really missing her bro she just wanted a sparring partner :rotfl:.

    OH asked if he would notice if I'd had my haircut when he came back tomorrow - reply was well you don't normally - is that a cue to do something different :p - have had the same haircut for years just a bit longer or shorter but it's sooooooo easy and just falls into place - shall I be brave??????

    My favour boxes were based on these but made them about 3 inches across and square.
    Didn't buy the template (squeak squeak) - watched Paula do a demo and went home and cobbled one together ;)

    Think I have enough of my own carp here ;).
    Didn't see you waving was probably hiding under the dining table wishing I hadn't invited friends for tea :rotfl:.

    ***blushes and runs away in embarrassment - amazing what a good camera and the right lighting can do :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Quickly popped on again - supposed to be ironing:rolleyes: Thanks for the info on where to get the flowers from - I am really sorry for asking loads of questions but got another one - I managed to get the last Do Crafts with the cute stamp on the front - what sort of ink pad should I go for - do you ladies have a favorite or will any one do? Sorry to be a pain:o

    Craftygranny like that site!!!
