Just a quickie to say there has been a couple of ideas/questions/suggestions re the meet up at the NEC posted on CP here if anyone wants to pop over and say what they think etc etc!

I am getting very excited now as it is only 2 weeks on Friday until we go! I can't believe how fast it is approaching!

Have posted a reply on there ..... 2 weeks? I need to tell OH to hurry up and get my car sorted!!!!

Jamtart - have you bought your basic grey papers yet??

Louby-Lou-Lou - the owner of the shop obviously had no taste - she sounds really miserable - don't let it put you off - its only one person's opinion.

Helping_hubby - welcome to the thread!!!! There's a great selection of lovely cards on your blog - I am now a follower. Here's my blog:

Choccy. Thank you for the fab atc's that arrived today. Kaitlyn is absolutely delighted and she thinksthe bats you sent her are so cute. She is going to a halloween party at her nursery on thursday so has decided to make her teacher a halloween card but she can't have any bats on lol.

Louby-lou-lou so sorry to hear about the nasty shop owner they were probably jealous cos they can't make them or were going to steal your ideas. They are just the opinions of one person and they mean nothing . My sister and my Daughter make sarky comments about the stuff i make but for the most part i ignore them and buy them an awful cheap shop card. Toria is getting a blank card in january as nothing is ever good enough.

Sunrise, the wife, babykat and helping hubby some fab cards . heres my blog http://craftygrannyscraftycorner.blogspot.com/ sadly neglected for a few weeks though.

I just wanted to say thank you again for the help and support for alicia and some great fund raising ideas. We are looking into doing a craft fair and the possibility of various people selling cards and tea bag holders etc to friends relatives etc or at their workplace , We have also decided to do a series of raffles and i was thinking of setting up a blog page and doing a card drive as jamtart suggested yesterday i think it is a fab idea if no one minds. thank you again trisha x

I'm happy to take part in anything Trisha. Just say the word with cards or stash etc. I know this sort of thing as a 'card shower' As a Red Hatter it's the sort of thing we do when someone's ill or just needs to know that someone cares.

As soon as I can get on Facebook I'll send some support.

Anyone else had problems with the latest Micrsoft/Vista update? I just can't get on Faceache!
