Rusty thank-you so much for the template. Glad to hear you are all feeling better.

Has anyone ever used the Pink Glimmer cake decorating stuff from ASDA? Is it any good for putting in the reindeer food to make it sparkle. I dont want to use ordinary glitter and the edible glitter seams a bit expensive for throwing on the lawn

Bunbun - the time has flown by hasn't it??? Your halloween and pirate bags are stunning - you are clever!!!

Sunrise - I went in March and bought loads of rolls of double sided tape - it was really cheap!!! There was a pound stall that had some good stuff and some cheap magnolia stamps. A lot of the stuff was the same price online - but then I didn't have to pay for postage - it was nice to see stuff in "the flesh" though!!

If only Rainmac, god knows I could be doing with a way of earning some extra pennies at the moment!

Lovely card and lovely things on your blog by the way! :T

Hi Rusty (or Bunbun)

Thanks for the template Rusty - think I might attempt to make some of these as christmas gift bags for my DSs teachers at school. Is this template to fit onto A4 card?

Thanks

I've just uploaded pics of my MSE challenge card, and my crafty place autumn card onto my blog if anyone wants a nose:

Hi ladies I am sorry ot to have been around for ages. I do pop each day and have a quick read but I havent had any time to comment. I have always helped at my children's school (pta, guided reading etc) I also become a school govenor at the beginning of this year. Anyway i was asked to cover for one of the teaching assistants at the begining of the term and it has snowballed. I have been there practically every day and I now have a contract :j:j:j
I am sooo happy as this is what I have always wanted to do , its not many hours but it is taking some getting used to juggling school /home duties. S untill I have found my feet I wont be around too much but promise to start posting again as soon as i am settled.


In the meantime I hope all those unwell are soon feeling better. Also there have been wonderful and beautiful cards on here and blogs you are all so talented.:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T

I have been working on an order of 30 christmas cards which i am nearly finished but i havent managed to get anything made myself for christmas yet:eek:...................................Will try not to panic.

Congratulations Mumhug I'm so pleased for you, its probably just what you need after the traumas of the last few months. Its brilliant you have a contract too, getting paid for something you enjoy doing anyway is a great bonus. We will all still be here eager for your news when you have the time. I wish you loads of luck, take care.xx
