    Well Done Rusty! Sorry to hear OH has to work but I must say I think Bank Holidays are over-rated. It's blowing a gale here & looks like rain so a good excuse to craft....... or iron....mmm ironing or crafting? crafting or ironing?

    Rainmac - Fantastic Christmas cards on your blog! I thought everyone could send cards to me then I can send them en masse to the lady organiser (it will also help me keep track of who's entered)!

    Reminder The Christmas cards are for our troops to send back to their families over here so please don't sign them. Hamish222 I am right aren't I?

    Flourgirl - What a fantastic prize!

    Mumhug - Thinking of you.

    I'm feeling a bit of a spend coming on - I made a card last night for the crafty place swap & I STAMPED an image on it - it was only small one but it was a huge first for me as they usually go very wrong. Who knows I might even get into heat embossing next....

    Ironing or crafting?..............

    I actually came on here to say I had been cardmaking this weekend (shock horror). I finally got round to making 5 cards as I was inspired by some of the challenge sketches I came across when blog surfing. They are all on my blog along with Molly's CP kids challenge entry (there are some great kids cards there! well done all the young talent!!)

    furry your new home card is fab, and I love Molly's unicorn card too :T

    My OH is away golfing, went at lunchtime yesterday and is back this afternoon so me and the monkeys are having a lazy day at home today, weather here is a bit grim. I'm not even dressed yet so as it's nearly 11am I better go do that :o
