Hi lei , I am working on oh to take the day off on friday we will lose a days money but I would really love to come. If I did manage to come i would be getting the train from watford junction straight through to birmingham which is why I thought of you since its your stop lol x

Indeed it is and my Mum kindly text me today telling me if you get a single each way it's £16.50... Oh so tempting lol! x

Hello Just had a quick look through all your posts & hope I can remember what I've read long enough to reply....

Thank you for your replies about stamps I might just get one or two & look at digi stamping which may suit me better - no smudges.

The wife .... I'm intrigued....sorry still not done yours yet work getting in the way of fun but will do asap.

OAP - what a lovely varied selection you have made they all look fab especially the tartan ribbon hope they go to a Scottish regiment.

Welcome back sunrise nice cards for OH's birthday.

Has occured to me that you may not know about the secret stash on my website?? Did you? and if not would you like me to send the link and password?? it is cheaper than digi stamps as they are free!

I am up again!! ... elves haven't woken me though but the pain has!! ... I think I need to be remembering to go back to the doctors and upping the pain killers!!

Have put the September challenge up over on crafty place

I made a swing card ages ago but i can't find the image on my computer any where me and mil are always in competition with each other as to who can keep making a different style card best. I made a pop out heart card for a wedding card and she has now been doing them. She is so much more the perfectionist as she does all her cards/ designs on rough paper first, I just go for it then if i go wrong i go wrong.

I still have my swing template so if i have time i may do one. Hoping to do more crafting when ds starts big school. I would love to do some calanders fro little presents for family and i am sure with a little help ds can do some for his grandparents. i take it if you use beer mats you would have to cover both sides un like a coaster you could just to the one side.
Just need some beer mats now, I asked on freecycle ages ago for some to go with some mens gifts i do and i got a very funny email back fromsomeone saying why do i need them (nothing to do with thme) and am i being thick just go to thte pub and nick some. It was very rude and i didn't reply.

I have no chance of catching up done a little search but why are you all buying up pads and pens in adsa lol.
