Mornin All my new nesties have just arrived and I only ordered them yesterday, yay...

Lovely card Sunrise, I do lots of my sentiments on the puter too, that way you can make them personal. Kids love to see their name on a birthday card.

Sunrise, lovely card

Dawnteabag, wow fab Home Bargains purchases, going to have to get myself there I think

Mel, no not a mansion, our house is really small but has a downstairs loo, bathroom and ensuite shower room with yet another loo. We could really do with turning the shower room into a huge cupboard but OH won't :rolleyes: or it could be a teeny tiny craft room for moi

Flourgirl, an 'easy' tea of homemade soup, bread and stewed fruit :A. Sounds delicious Where's my invite, I want to come to yours for tea :beer: I have stupidly arranged for DS1 to have friends round for tea 3 nights running this week so yesterday was homemade chicken nuggets, tonight is fish fingers (the only food I know the little boy who's coming will eat) and spag bol for me and OH and tomorrow is homemade pizza.

Gemm, 2 weeks will be over before you know it, maybe you should throw yourself into crafting to help the days pass quicker x

Sal, you could be raking it in hiring out your Bug to us on here who don't have one

Haven't looked at blogs for a few days, not sure where time has gone so off to do that now...

I had a very enjoyable evening of crafting last night whilst OH watched the footie and then the post-match analysis (did you watch it? England were poor!!!). I made 4 cards and an altered container for Rusty's challenge on CP. I am so pleased as haven't made a card for ages. So I made my October challenge card for CP, CCC card, PFP card and my MSE Halloween card...

Rainmac - are you mad having kids round for tea 3 consecutive nights - I can just about cope with my kids!!! Saying that though its Brandon's birthday tomorrow, so we're having a little party for him and we've said two of his cousins can sleep over. Your halloween card is lovely - I love those prima flowers!!! Your altered containers are fabulous - I've got that spider ribbon too, although I haven't used it yet! Love your Autumn card and ccc card too, and your promarker card is gorgeous - in fact everything is stunning!!

Just to remind everybody that the current challenge on here ends on Monday at midnight. I'm offering a bit of stash to the person's whose name that I draw - either some halloween stash or some "normal" stash! So far the entries are:

Rainmac The soup was delish, pasta and meatballs tonight. Pity I'm going out tomorrow night or you would have found me on your doorstep begging for a slice or two of homemade pizza....yum yum..
I have been invited to a card and gift wrap party!! don't know why I have said yes, its not like I really need any!!
Never mind it will be a chance to catch up on any gossip, the lady who is having the party is an ex client I did childminding for 15 years ago and the one who is selling I also childminded for 14 years ago, they are the only 2 I have really kept in touch with.
Have been making my labels and tags for Magic Reindeer Food this morning. The house is like a tip, sawdust everywhere, its driving me mad! God knows when I'll be straight, and DH is talking about getting him to refit the other bedroom (my craft room) Dont think I can face it yet!!
Was hoping to get my CP challenge stuff done soon but will have to see if there is time before the cut off. Apologies if I don't xx

Off for a blog x
