mary did you use proper coasters for your calendars? I bought some really pretty ones the other day to use but then wondered if they would be too heavy. have you put magnets on yours? I too would be interested in seeing the instructions for the keyring post it holders

sorry can't remember now who's done what so all round 'well done' to you :T:T:T:T

Wow Mary you've been busy as ever, are your days longer than mine as you seem to do loads? Would love to have a go at one of those post-it keychain thingies, where did you get the instructions from?

Flourgirl, your latest creation is so stunning, it's fab and very, very useful. Please will you enter it for this blog challenge... http://trimmiescraftchallenge.blogspot.com/2009/09/challenge-15-anything-except-card.html

Polly, sounds like you got fab stuff at the show, well done you, bet your feet ache today

I've been ironing and putting name labels onto uniform today, back to school tomorrow. OH is going to Belfast for work tomorrow, coming home same day so long as everything goes ok. He is such a jetsetter, has been to every country in the UK in the space of about 10 days.

Sunrise Gorgeous cards, how did you print scrolls onto the acetate please.
The long notepads were from the range they are called Chunky Jotter Pads 5 for 79p

Thank-you all for your kind comments about my Hanging Notepad & Calendar

Npsmama It was so easy to make, why not have a go yourself. All I did was to cover a piece of mountboard (recycled back of an envelope) with pretty paper, dont forget to attatch a ribbon to the back first. Then I covered the notepad with the same paper, I used strong DST to attatch the pad and calendar to the board. The telephone bit was just printed in word and cut on my cuttlebug, inked the edges and stuck it on, added a few flowers and.. Voila... 1 hanging notepad & calendar!

Thanks Rainmac . I have just had a look on there and there is some fab stuff. I'm not very good at entering challenges, I'm a bit thick when it comes to doing links I always get it wrong.:( I have made a Pink Black and White card for the CCC Challenge too, last time I tried to enter a card I did it wrong I need step by step instructions I think
