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.

rusty if it's only 100 in a pack i don't mind they are to send to kaitlyn's nursery for the xmas fair. He rang me this morning telling me there are 1,000 in a pack hopefully it's a wind up but if not if you see any good deals on 1'000 calendar tabs can you let me know lol.

hmm my ironing is shouting at me quite loudly today so i think i'd better go sort it. was sat in the docs at 10 to 9 but at least i wasn't there long.

:rotfl: Well it will cost you £100 in calender tabs!! lol ....

Jamtart thankyou ever so much for the PM. I placed my order but half the stuff in my basket had already gone so had to remove it .... I still have some bits thought. Worth the £1.95 postage but that depends if it all comes

no problem. I got the link from PLM last week and ordered some of the 90% sale stuff, added them to my twitter and the second they tweeted about their silly 100% sale I bombed it over here! Yes I will be so mad if we get like 2 sheets of 5p paper for £1.95 - see how it goes. Haven't had my 90% order yet - things were flying out of that basket madly too, but am not in a rush hope you get something.

Rainmac - I bought this new range ( colourful xmas) from my minds eye (scroll down), the papers are expensive but I love the colours, I also bought some of their halloween stuff:
