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:

Rusty/Jamtart - I hope you manage to get some stuff from sillymonkeycrafts.

Have you seen Laundry Line Melissa? They're on my birthday wish list .

Bought that mag with the free bear stamps today - how cute are they?????? Think I might need a craft storage drawer just for bears shortly

Hello everyone
I've been asked to make a birthday card for a girl who will be 10 and loves pinks and princesses! Arhhh I can do boys no problem!! It's for a friend for his niece I've told him to go and buy one but he's insisting I make one! Anyone made any girlie cards I could have a nosey at?!

I ordered a while back from Silly Monkey crafts and I was 2 items missing I phoned them and they said they would ring me back, e-mailed them a few times and I've had no response, no sure if there is anything I can do about it, it was only £4 odd but that just isn't the point for me!

hels did you pay by paypal if you did then do a chargeback that'll get a responsefrom them.

Rusty 100 quid on calendar tabs i nearly died of shock lol.
I'm just going to give a pile of calendars and t bag holders and post it notes to kaitlyns nursery for their xmas fair and hope it'll raise them a few pounds .

I got 16 mugs with my dinner service and we never use them so thought of putting hot chocolate sachets and marshmallows in and one of those little whisks and sending those.

Is this any good? - you can print them and stick them onto a card

Rusty, I use these instructions for the post-it note holders...
http://ladynthestamp.blogspot.com/2008/05/post-it-note-wallet-tutorial.html I am also going to try and make some using coasters and paper clip thingies. Hopefully tonight So sorry you had a bad night's sleep. How do you get your littlie to sleep till 8am??? Mine is up between 6-7 every day regardless of when he went to bed and he always manages to wake his brother up :rolleyes:.

OH decided to go from Liverpool to Durham today rather than come home and go back to Durham tomorrow. Hopefully will mean he is off work tomorrow but even when he's not physically at work, his phone is always ringing or beeping cos he has emails :rolleyes:

Hels, will email you about your 10yo girl card, will have to be later as got to take DS1 to docs now x
