Mary, you are not a batty old woman :rolleyes:, you are a clever, kind-hearted soul who is a dab hand with all things crafty

:doh:Thanks.........(face now crimson !!!) -not sure about the 'dab hand at crafty stuff'..........more a sort of 'make do' job............:rotfl:
And if you'd seen me this afternoon after the builders had gone surrounded by the flowers I'd bought, ribbon that I'd got that wasn't quite the right colour and these blessed post it notes................you'd have agreed with me on the 'batty' bit................:rotfl:

Does anyone else make a mess all over the floor when they're doing things or is it just me ?

Marg this is the one I bought

Snap! :rotfl:

Flourgirl can I ask have you tried covering any other kind of notepads? like the ones with the hard covers?? only reason I ask is because only one of mine worked. I did some ages ago, but only one survived!! the other one all of the paper came off. Not sure if it is cause I used pva glue to cover it? or if it was because the book was too shiny?

Big thankyou to Marg for extending the challenge. I have made 2 cards so far, but have one which I made for a challenge on here which I will also add. However I would like to make a couple more aswell.

I also make a mess on the floor, but the kid make more with bits of food so it is easily disguisable if OH looks over there! Just means I have to vac under there every day!! .... the floor currently has loads of bits of florist ribbon all over it!! aswell as some bits that my scallop punch left !!

Mary do you have any use for some karen foster stickers which are about adoption? these are them

rainmac

I too am a messy crafter, bits go everywhere and I clear up afterwards

Wanted to make some bits tonight but have a mountain of ironing to do :rolleyes:

Off to make tea, butternut sqaush risotto. Recipe looks nice and easy

Rusty - thanks for the karen foster stickers but as I just foster young people they wouldn't be of any use to me.
Nice idea for someone who does adopt though.

rainmac - oh eck.........not only do you clear up after yourself (OH always says he knows where I've sat due to the mess I make......lol)..............you cook !!! I'm the worlds worst and OH's working today so its my turn to do something with the oven..............think it's going to be breadcrumbed chicked steaks (ready made), mushrooms and tomatos fried and some chips..............not very exciting is it.....:rolleyes:

Ooops...............cats just reminded me they want their dinner.............:rotfl:

Hi,

Quick question as i'm at work - does anyone have a stamp with moles on it or a single mole holding a heart? I've been commissioned my first ever card but they want an anniversary card with moles and maybe a heart on it...

Thanks x
