craftygranny

OOh Flourgirl bet you're excited . Take the biggest bag you can find and fill it lol.

Mumhug thank you i'll try and sort yours out today or tomorrow i'm tidying my room loli'm sure I can hear my mum behind me like when i was a kid saying tidy that room now or you'll never go out the door again.lol. My theory is if i tidy up all my craft stuff i'll know exactly where to find everything . yeah right . I have so much to do but thought i'd start with a tidy workspace .

Melissa that box is fab it must have taken ages .

Rainmac That cheesecake recipie made me hungry it's sounds wonderful.Those toppers on the link are wonderful.

Flourgirl - hope you have a fab time - I am so jealous!!!

Rainmac - thanks to the link to the toppers - they are gorgeous - and thanks for your lovely comments on my "stupid box" - it took about 3 days to make - that's because I couldn't decide how to tie the ribbon - then I kept running out of it and had to start again!

Whoopidoo - thanks for the link to the blog - she has some lovely things on there, and also for the info on the cupcake cards - they are gorgeous!!!

Craftygranny - if I hadn't faffed about so much it wouldn't have taken that long.

Morning all!

Guess who forgot about the clocks going back?? Didn't matter tho as DD and I are in our PJ's and not going anywhere (thank goodness!) Thanks to Flourgirl mentioning it on here we are now on real time thogh I still need to alter all the clocks! We are a bit better today though thanks xxx

Rainmac just wanted to ask if your stash swop goodies arrived?? I sent them on Monday first class but I am worried they are lost in the post with Whoopdidoings ATC's!! Thanks for the links to the blog spent ages on there already! The cheesecake made me feel hungry and I have saved the recipe and might make it as a treat later this week! Thank you xxx

Whoopdidoo aka Carmen I assume it is thee that left a comment on my blog re bats?? Do you want some?? Those cupcake cards are amazing and the BIA bean tins where do people get their ideas??

Padster loving the non bear cards!

Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better. I haven't received your stash yet, sorry. I posted yours on Wed/Thur I think so hope it will be with you early next week.

The lady who made the toppers is the mum of one of the boys at Thomas' preschool. She is so clever and talented, very much like you x

Furrypig - Don't worry to much about the missing post as although my ATC's are missing in action another swap I'm in (the Fantasy/Labyrinth film swap) my swapee posted my parcel on Friday and I thought I wouldn't see that for weeks but I got it yesterday so it seems it's all a bit hit and miss. (It's yummy - I'll post piccies on my blog later)

Am sitting here playing catch up trying to finish my part of the swap - scratching some dodgy paint effects off of some glass coasters so I can alter them :rolleyes::D

Yup I'm Carmen and pretty please yes I would luuuurve some bats. Wishing I hadn't sold my bug now but it did pay for OH's James Bond box set last Christmas and he was chuffed with that so was worth it I suppose

Well I'm back from the show quite dissapointed, only spent £28 including entry ticket, biggest spend on Craftworks cards!! lots of stuff was more expensive than the web, no show specials to speak of Promarkers £1.80 each :eek: Bazill card 45p or 5 for £2 . Probably won't go again.

Rainmac you lovely lovely lady Thank-you so much for my goodies, your swap card and ATC are divine. Loads of fabulous images a gorgeous altered peg (which is on my boiler with a note clipped to it) and a yummy chocolate which looks too good to eat. Thank-you sooo much :A x I have yours to post tomorrow.
