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.

Oooh great, I like shepherds too, can't wait to see his pics! What's his name?

My goodness how fast does this thread move:eek: I can't keep up;) Well I finally got round to making a blog, it's not very good but I have put a new card on there. The rest of it is a mix of all sorts of stuff:D but I'm sure it will improve as I go along. http://stardrops42.blogspot.com/

You've got some gorgeous things on your blog, Stardrops, your sock monkeys are really great! I'm not surprised they've been ordered from the States, do you advertise them on Ebay or somewhere?

Hello all and well done to all of you with your blogs...........takes me ages to go through them.........:rotfl:

Wall is now painted -by me :mad: Had a quick look this morning and it looked like the blood had faded a bit so I bunged on some paint and hoped for the best.............not looked yet......hardly dare.........no doubt OH will when he comes back from his 'sunday pint or several'.
Covered a little box this morning (courtesy of melissas lovely paper :j) just the right size for a little teddy and some mini soaps for sons girlfriend.
Jars from neighbour now have christmas paper strip round them with old fashioned santa piccys on........think I might put some humbugs in them and label them 'bah humbug'................lol
Smallest jar is going to be reindeer poo for grandson with little verse
Rudolph got so excited
Bringing Santa to see you
He had a little 'accident'
And left this jar of poo !

Think that'll do...............lol:rotfl:

Hi Stardrops, I was wondering do you sell a lot through ur esty shop? Is it worth it? And its the dollar thing easily worked out

stardrops42

Woohoo I've got followers:j thanks for the lovely comments about my monkeys.

Sallyuk - I have a shop on Etsy called "SockMonkeyMadness" which is where I sell my monkeys online. I've been very bad though and have left it empty for months:p But I do have good intentions of making more monkeys to put in there as I have had a few requests from Etsy members.

MrsTidge - Thanks for being my first follower:D Have sent you a pm.

Hi all!

Thought I'd pop on while all the men in the house are playing Lego Star Wars on the Wii!

I've had a lovely day - took the boys to see 'Giraffes can't dance' at the Art Center here and went into a real live craft shop(as opposed to a cyber one that is!) I hadn't been in there for ages and she's really expanded her range which is great. I did limit myself to DST and calendar tabs (won't mention the glimmer spray then...)



They were asking at Jamie's school what sort of clubs we'd like - I'm toying with the idea of a offering to do a couple of crafting sessions before Christmas - cards/calendars etc - what do you think?

I've done a card for Salesadmin's challenge - it's on my blog - and did a couple of quick makes with some of my new papers also on the blog

Have a lovely evening everyone

I worked as an after school club leader a few years back and did crafts with the children. They loved making cards and other crafty things, so I would go for it

Stardrops - love your blog. I must try to do one myself.

I have been asked to provide samples for wedding invitations :eek: I have never sold my cards before.
