Gaaaargh! Have just spent all day scratching dodgy paint off these coasters only to realise it was there to hide the holder being attached on the back. AAAAARGH! Does anyone have any idea how to attach my mini pages to the backs of glass coasters without it looking tacky on the front?

eta: I'm a follower now too craftygranny and when I do my next post I will mention her page too

have you tried silicone glue as it dries clear and is quite strong?

Help Offered Wifey Wifey! - Give me a shout if you don't have my address.

Sorry the show was pants Flourgirl - am glad I didn't bother to go now - even more glad as I was going to take DD with me and she spent the morning sweeping the leaves off the drive and didn't even try to charge me extra pocket money .

I had a quick count of how many xmas cards I'd made this morning so made a few more but can't move to take pics as OH cooked an enormous Roast Lamb dinner - would have been rude not to eat it all . I did use some of the free papers that came with this month's cards and papercrafts that the postie brought me yesterday.

I have added more to my blog.

crafty granny: I have become a follower but i am rubbish at making cards (being new to card making), but if there is anything else I can send let me know.

I got a sizzlits die today from the craft shop in town and i got it to work in my cuttlebug, so DF's credit card will be taking a bashing later.

I havent done a single thing today, my body clock is all over the place. I was up till quite late last night, pottering away but didnt actually make anything worth showing you all.

craftygranny I will make some cards for you. I will have a look at the blog and become a follower.
flourgirl I will also make some for the challenge (sorry can't remember details but will go back and have a look at the link)
as these cards are to be sold I would like to put them in cellophane bags. where is the best place to buy these?

Wifey I have PM'd you

Bunbun thank you the challenge is "Freestyle cards for Ikki" you can make any style card you wish just post a photo of it to enter. If you need Ikki's address PM me. My last card bags came from ebay, it was actually Craft Superstore but because that was all I wanted the postage was cheaper. Just type in what size Cello Bags and it should come up.

a big THANKS to the card making volunteers. With a bit of jiggery pokery you may be able to get two cards out of each kit as there are various sentiments in each kit, it's up to you. If you need help with extra papers to match etc just pm me and I'll see what I can send by email or post etc.

Padster, I've got your address, ta!

Gemm, 14 all the same except when I ran out of coloured card

flourgirl, so glad the parcel arrived and you liked what was in it! Sorry the show was not terribly good, sounds like you still managed to find some nice bits to buy though x

I don't think your cards are rubbish. You should have seen my feeble efforts thankfully they are better now. i hope. Anything will be fine honestly.
Was it your blog that had the pots of gold on with the gold pot labels if it was i sent you a pm. I think it was.

Just wanted to say a big thank you ladies. Now i'd better go and get on with making something.

Anything at all will do it doesn't matter what it is as long as we can sell it. That doesn't sound right but do you get what i mean. Everyone has different talents and just go with what your strengths are.

Craftygranny - I've done a blog post and signed up to the Facebook page. I'll do a donation later in the month. What sort of 'made' stuff apart from cards would you like? I'm a bit pants at the cards
