Oh Thank you Gemma I didn't like to ask but had wondered if Royal Mail were messing me about again...........


Did my Tatty Teds arrive OK folks?.......goes back to paranoia corner.........

Rainmac - Hope Thomas is feeling better soon, and you aswell! Sounds like you had a good bargain hunt in the craft warehouse as you said it would be rude to not acknowledge the 20% off!

Marg - I meant to reply to the email, yes and thankyou for the tatty teddies they are beautiful!

Mrs Tidge - Beautiful ATC arrived at my house this morning in a lovely folder card!! Thankyou I will try and get photos tonight!

Gemm - Thankyou for the beautiful stamped images in the lovely wallet that you sent me!! They are fab and the wallet is so beautiful!! thankyou! x

Not sure if others have seen it on the pot of gold thread but 3cheekyprincess has posted up something for Ikea ... take in a minimum of 5 books and recieve a £5 ikea gift card for doing so!!
I have just pulled something in my back trying to get to my box of books at the bottom of the boxes in the garage! Managed to get 20 out and I plan on giving DS 5 to take in with me and then 5 for myself which should give me £10 ... then on Thursday when I go to bunbuns I am going to take in another 5 as I pass ... and the same again on the way home ... OH said we could go up at the weekend with more aswell ... by the end of thursday I hope to have £20 in ikea vouchers which will go to one side for when we start to re decorate the whole house

Check your local ikea - then look for the SAVE THE CHILDREN BOOK DONATION here

If like me your local one is Gateshead then you can look here

Hello all...............only just logged on so not had time to catch up on blogs.
Chaps came to fit new front door this morning so me going out for ribbon to finish off door hangers is going to be tomorrow.......I hope. OH at GP's tomorrow for xray result.He's not so good today but sleeping well at least.
All I've done is cover a shoe box and a little box neighbour gave me (thanks melissa for paper -looks a treat!):j

Mary - misread your post - I originally thought it read you were getting ribbon for your new door - I had visions of you being like the queen - "I now announce this door open" - cutting the ribbon:rotfl:

ali - now come on............mad I maybe but regal............no way.............:rotfl:

You be careful with your back missus!!! I am going to take Ikea up on the offer too

Marg

Mary op I'd read it like that too!

JHB - a bit late to say but sorry I didn't do Uni so couldn't do your survey.

Rainmac - so glad your little one seems a bit better and it was nothing too serious.

I went blog hopping this morning (a rare ocurrance for me) and I saw where a lady had decorated spring loaded wooden clothes pegs with self adhesive ribbon and a few gems and wondered if they could be used with the coaster calendars instead of a bulldog clip? Might suit a kitchen type application? Just taken me ages to find it again!

Anyway here's the link (not an inspiring title is it? - Sorry)

Rusty - thanks for the IKEA idea will see if this inspires DH to take me again - last time I wasn't allowed to look at stuff, just whisked to the stock room bit to get stuff.

Good evening to everyone. Just had a good time catching up on threads and admiring everyone's handiwork which is lovely as ever. I haven't made anything lately although I'm hoping to remedy that soon. DS off to Uni on Friday and quite a lot of 'stuff' going with him too. My house may possibly look a little tidier by the weekend. I do still need to sort my crafting stuff out though. Who knows what goodies I'll discover. Off for a bit more 'surfing' now.
