Rusty My hubby said do you think the basket would be big enough or would i need a trailer on the back. lol .

Mary I can just see you now charging around town on one. My mum used to have one but my son was always running the batteries down trying to pull wheelies in her garden. I'd have to hide it from him.

ali my grandkids would definately borrow it my eldest gs is 8 and he'd be off like a shot lol. Hope you get yourself a lovely craft space . I got mine by keep leaving things in the living room for him to fall over. It is only a tiny room though and has no windows but it is mine. Love the mad granny plate i'd have to get crafty granny then you'd all know it was me .

Mrs Tidge Fab cards on your blog. Love your idea of craft lessons at the school.

Hels I have been doing mine one side at a time then trimming them with small scissors and filing any rough bits with a large emery board.

Mary Sorry to hear about the boys and your house.Hope you get them sorted . I have no idea how to remove the blood though. Your pub is stingy not giving you more beer mats . I've told my eldest i need another pack so when he sends them i can pop you some in the post if you want.

saveapenny Hi lovely tosee you again . Hope you had a great holiday.

Now come on Mr Craftygranny ... she has to get the scooter first ... then we can discuss the trailer situation :rotfl:

I really need to be in bed! I am completely crackered!!

saveapenny some beautiful photos!! Harry is a little cutey!

Gorgeous pictures saveapenny harry is adorable.
Gemm I am really jealous of your craft room
Mary I am sorry to hear that those boys do not have better manners.
craftygranny I think a scooter and trailor is a brilliant idea anything to help buy more stash gets my vote.

I have just finished catching up on blogs there are some wonderful creations there as always.

Everytime I try to craft the puppy tries to steal everything prehaps she wants to help.

Saveapenny what a yummy little bunny Harry is, couldn't you just eat him

Not much crafting will be done today as we are off out to buy dog stuff, OH hardly ever willingly goes shopping, let alone on a Sunday, wonder if it's 'cos of the dog :rolleyes: Hmm! And it was his suggestion :rolleyes:

I've just made a card for my SIL, I'll post a pic on the blog later, another Man Card.

Dear Rusty!

Thank you so much for the packet of goodies which you kindly sent me and which arrived this morning, it was fab! I really appreciate you doing that for me and it was such a lovely surprise too!

The Wife, what kind of dog are you getting, if I were you I'd be really excited too!

Sal, we are getting a German Shepherd because we know the breed. Four of the six dogs we've had have been Sheppy's, this lad is nearly five and has had a tough time with his owner dying. He ticks all our boxes.

I will post a pic of him when he's safely with us.

I've had to pack my craft stuff away as I'm back at uni soon and think I need to concentrate on that as when my craft stuff is out it tends to distract me Plus with a wedding to plan and pay for I will be busy enough!!

So I might be on and off for a while, but will obviously keep an eye on challenge entries but might not post!!

Could somebody please PM me Paddingtondoo's address if anyone has it?? I'm her swap partner on craftyplace but her internet is down, so thought I would try to send it as a surprise! (also if you have any tips on what she would like fantastic!!)

Thanks all!!

Good morning Ladies
Saveapenny lovely photos!
Gemm gorgeous cards on your blog!
The Wife Oh I can't wait to see pics of your new dog! I love German sheps, we had one before my DS came along but sadly we had to re-home her as she was really jealous of my son, to this day it breaks my heart, I've still got pics of her everywhere! I always wonder if we did the right thing, I miss her loads :-(
Salesadmin I hope you pop in now and again to say hello and let us know how your wedding plans are going! Good luck with uni

Well I finally got round to making my coaster calendars, I'm hooked I loved making them! I've covered both sides which has meant I've wasted quite a bit of paper, I've also rounded the corners off and added magnets to the back, I love them! http://helsbelswork.blogspot.com

craftygranny

Hels I found out last night a sheet of 8 x 8 paper covers both sides of 2 coasters and hardly any waste.well it does mine. Pity i have nothing better to study lol.

hels102

thanks Craftygranny I've been using 2 sheets of 6x6!
Rainmac do you mind me asking how much you are going to sell the coaster calendars & Post it note holders for? I think I'm going to take some to work and leave in our kitchen to see if people want to buy.
