    Rusty, oh my word, so glad you are all ok. People in cars are awful for not stopping and helping you. Please take things as easy as you can (I know that's very easy to say and hard to do with 2 kiddies). Thinking of you x

    Dawnteabag, I have one dodgy eye after having optic neuritis (sp?) a few times and the optic nerve hasn't repaired itself properly.

    TheWife, sounds like you have a busy time ahead of you, have a great time x

    Kim, you could cut down 12x12 papers or use 8x8 papers and cut the little bits out? I have bought a Craftwork Cards album before and they are chipboard front and back and thinnish white card pages inside. If you use both sides that gives you 20 pages to decorate but you could easily add more pages if you wanted to. You would need to use D rings or ribbon to secure the album together. Does that help?

    hels, sounds luike you are very excited about your DS turning 3. My youngest is 3 in January and already thinking about presents, party etc. My OH thinks I am mad :rolleyes:

    Padster, those stamps are gorgeous, bet you can't wait for them to arrive :D

    saveapenny, thank you for the email x

    Polly, beautiful celebration card :D

    dragonllew, fab freebie Halloween papers, thank you for the link ;)

    I have been really, really naughty this morning and treated myself to some fab new things from Crafts U Love not because I need them but because I want them. So soon to be arriving I have a 2" scallop circle punch, a flower punch that punches different sizes in one go, an inverted corner rounder, some Bazzill card, Bloom and Grow 6x6 paper pad and some Halloween paper to give a Halloween card/container a go. I have had such a carp week with poorly children, the sleep deprivation elves came out in sympathy with me today and made me click 'Proceed to Checkout'. Hopefully from ordering today it will arrive before Saturday when OH will be here to say 'what have YOU been ordering now!!!'.

    I am trying to make some of fiddle farts peg magnet thingies whilst looking after poorly DS2. Think I should wait til tonight so I can concentrate on what I'm doing ;)

    Hugs to everyone :grouphug:
    :wave: If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain :wave:

    Awh Rainmac sounds like you had a lovely shopping spree this morning :-)
    Sorry to hear your DS is still poorly hope he's better soon x
    Can I ask a really daft question, I'm trying to make a start on my Christmas count down advent calendar but I can't for the life of me get my boxes all the same size in word, what am I doing wrong?!
    I'm off to the hairdressers later I think I should go chocolate brown instead of blonde, I'm having to many blonde moments!!!!
    The wife I forgot to say a big thank you for sending me the peppa images
    :xmassmile Looking forward to December:xmassmile

    Choccy, do you mean so you can layer the two? I recently bought a 2.5" Woodware circle punch from Happy Daze as I too have a 3" scallop circle punch. Looks fab together and so much better than me trying to cut a circle with scissors ;)

    Thats the ones Rainmac, Thank You... I will have a look for one :D
    furrypig says:my name is Choccy and I am addicted to nose free stamps as I want to save them all and give them noses!!!:rotfl:
    About me. Im Choccy or Chocolate orange depending on where i am.Yes occasionally i am a total looon who spends too long online,but no where near as much £ as her spendy elves do ..:D

    Hels, are you using a table in Word? That should be ok, you can see on the screen if the boxes are the same before you print them out. Chocolate brown sounds fab :D

    Louby - hope your DS feels better soon

    Polly - lovely card for your friend :T

    Rainmac - sounds like the naughty elves are with you at the moment ;). Hope your DS2 feels better soon - are you ok now ?

    smwtyn - so sorry to hear about your grandad (((:o)))hugs for you

    Rusty - what a dreadful day............hugs (((((:o)))) -hope today is much much better

    Well done all of you with your lovely work.........:T You do so well. I don't know where you get the energy and ideas from.

    I've not done much today -painter came to do the loo and I did a few bookmarks..........nothing special, just a way of using up some offcuts of paper,card and ribbon. Need some embelishments for them now.
    Phone call from hospital about OH's appointment -its now been brought forward to tomorrow at 2.15pm -much better the 4.40pm next week. Seems the consultant does a clinic at a hospital closer to us (10 miles instead of 22) OH is relieved and we'll both be glad when its sorted out. So, fingers crossed.
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !
