Rusty - there's also the CP xmas one without gold green or red.

Have a look on my blog there are some challenge links in my side bar
Mojo monday is always a sketch as is friday sketchers and sketch saturday - have a look through the old posts for some easy ones.

There was an easy one on lili of the valley a fortnight ago.

Just a quick reminder that the ATC draw will be done on CP on Monday. I'm off to Edinburgh for the weekend so won't be about much till then - have had a week off and am shattered although did get my CP trifold and ATC done today as well as a notebook cover. Have a great weekend everyone.

Rainmac Glad to hear that the Nappy cakes at the florists have been selling well. Not long now to your Craft Fair, I wish you loads of luck, if I lived nearer I would be there to give you support. Are you feeling any better today?

Choccy have a lovely day in Shropshire, its a gorgeous part of the country. We usually go there for a week every year then on to the Shrewsbury Folk Festival over August bank holiday, but this year we are taking our granddaughter to Wales instead. She wants to see where her daddy went for his holidays when he was a boy. I bet you will have a fab time with Sylphraven

Padster - I'd noticed you were missing this week - what have you been doing to get shattered? Hope you have a great weekend away.

Choccy - Enjoy your trip to Shropshire.

Think I'd like to run away & not come back, never mind a weekend away. Trying to cope with MIL who has alzheimers is taking its toll as we try to keep her in her own home as long as we can & she just seems to be trying to cause trouble. I know she can't help it but she's being so difficult at the moment....... sorry...... rant over...... I'm tired

Rusty - I've been trying to think of a challenge for you & can't think of anything just now maybe tomorrow.....

Mel, I am not super organised, if I'm in the mood to craft I can leave my housework for another day (or two, three...), let's face it, even after cleaning with 2 monkeys around my house always looks like a bomb has hit it

Flourgirl, wow you're stitched challenge card is beautiful, I love it x

Kim, love your pocket card and the flower, it's so pretty

Rusty, how about a cute Xmas card with this fab freebie... http://dustinpike.blogspot.com/2009/08/yesterdays-freebie-day-later.html. This is a beautiful sketch and there are a few others on the blog too... http://charismacardz.blogspot.com/2009/08/challenge-32-sketchy.html. Your mojo will be with you soon enough x

Marg, your MIL sounds hard work . Mine is too but isn't ill. She phoned yesterday and said "oh you're in then" when I answered the phone and then said "I phoned yesterday but you didn't answer" as if I was in but ignored her call :mad:. Oh well I'm sure she could be far worse :rolleyes:

Padster, hope you have a great weekend

Choccy, have a fab time with Sylph, I know you will

I am off to see U2 today and am soooo excited and nervous at being in the middle of 80,000 people!!! My abscess seems bigger than it was when I went to see the dentist and the pain is not going away at all even after 2 days of being on the anti-biotics. I am going to ring the surgery before going to Wembley to see if that is normal or if they can give me stronger pills.

It's free postage from Crafts U Love now until midnight Monday 17th August http://www.craftsulove.co.uk/

Look at this fab new Christmas range from Imaginisce, I may have just ordered a couple of bits http://www.craftsulove.co.uk/imaginisce.htm

Rainmac I have just had the same email and spent the last 10minutes drooling over them. I love Imaginisce papers they are such good quality and the stamps are so easy to use. I want them all...... Thought the Hot Chocolate stamp would be good for grown-up snowman soup labels for hampers I'm away again next Thursday for 10days so an order will have to wait until I get back, I don't want to risk it not being here before I go, as its free postage it may be busy. What did you get?

Have a fab time at U2 concert, hope you manage to calm the pain down before you go x
