rainmac -thanks for the link for hole puncher - our craft shop lady said they're about £9.99 !!! Probably won't use one much but I need something so I can cut a half decent hole about 1" across.

Love the bookmark..............think I might do one of them for my friend........she's the only person I know who's a bit of a bookworm.......apart from me..............lol

Can't seem to get on at the minute.........new lad we've got keeps running off so that means endless phone calls to authorites etc. OH was up till half 12 last night -me night before -did manage to use one of the 2 leftover coasters though..............I'd got some loose leaf lilac paper so covered it in purple and lilac ........least I managed something constructive...............lol

Haven''t managed to check all the blogs yet but knowing you all, they'll be brilliant:T

Mary, no idea how you cope with that, you must be a saint

Marg Kaitlyn's birthday is the 25th of sept she will be 4. lol She is lots better today . It still looks a little yuccky but not as bad as it was. She demanded to go to nursery as her little sister started last week and she thought she would be looking for her. bless.

Rusty hope thomas and maddison are feeling better and thomas is enjoying his birthday.

Rainmac the craftwork owls are fab i saw some the other day.

Crafygranny - shows how tired I was last night I never sent a hug for Kaitlyn - I've never had earache but my little brother used to get it and it was awful. I do hope she is feeling better and that you all had a good night's sleep. When is her birthday please? Am I right in thinking she will be 5?

Rainmac - I've got some of the Cardcraft owls pics scanned that were in the middle of a magazine recently Can I send you some? Wonder if I emailed them would you be able to re-size & colour them to fit?

OOH 2:20 and postie just been!! Off to have a llook........

Skiergirl - gorgeous xmas cards. I love your cross stitch too, I have only been to York once but I instantly recognised it. Hope your tooth is better today and that it went okay at the dentist.

Flourgirl - lovely calendar set - really pretty papers, and your challenge card is gorgeous - so delicate.

Craftygranny - thanks so much - my xmas stash arrived this afternoon. You are so generous - I feel really stingey now with the stuff that I sent for you. Everything is lovely - I'm so pleased with the stamped images too - I really needed some xmas ones. I hope Kaitlyn is feeling better today. I love those manga stamps too and am thinking of ordering them.

rainmac - no saint - just a bit bonkers..................lol

Anyone got a really basic picture of a toy owl ? I want to re-vamp a gravy tub with some felt so it looks like an owl -fill it with chocs to give to my friend as a pot of owl poo.........she loves owls.
Been googling but no joy.............just want the basic shapes for wings and face -think with the goggle eyes I've got and a little santa hat on top that will do.

Can you hear it? The sound of distant thunder, that's my tummy rumbling. When I first met OH he said to me one day that we would eat out while we were shopping. I turned around and he was gone. He came back with a bag of chips in his hand, it's never been forgotten. I've been blog hopping this morning and one of the the word verifications was 'betoxboz' Is someone trying to tell me something?

Off I go for the rest of the hop, boing, boing, boing.

lol how random, I love hearing all your little stories

CT - No it's not too late! I won't be sending them all off just yet so I'll wait till they get here if you'd like to do some.
I think Craft Superstore do cuttlebugs and there is a code for discount something like 'PC22' but I'm not sure of the exact details I'm sure someone else will have the right info for you soon.

The wife - So are you treating DH to a bag of chips for his birthday lunch out?:rotfl: No problem to go to PO it's a nice easy walk from here - I need the exercise!

Thanks JHB - Our post is silly and doesn't come 'til lunchtime most days.

marg you are right the code is PC22
