pinkladymel

Someone (you know who you are!!) pointed me over here.. HI!! I had no idea the news was out yet.. not supposed to hit stands until November.

So now you know my dirty little secret.. The magazine is produced about 3 months in advance so I have known for AGEESSSS now and been dying to spill to you all!!

I've been working on some really cool new projects for the mag and loads of christmas things for over the holidays so don't forget to check the website out soon (i.e FREE!!) It's so exciting to now be a paid designer.. job of my dreams!!

Thank you so much to those that gave me your support and votes dedicatedly. I am so greatful to you and I hope that you won't regret it :)xx

Rusty how lovely is he? Isn't it great when they support your hobby like that? Mine went to a bird show with my Dad yesterday and on the way home he made my Dad circle Hobbycraft carpark in the car (it was mobbed) while he ran in and got me a couple of R.U.B's for my stash. Ok he might just be fed up of stash everywhere but I thought it was sweet

He always has supported my hobby, even to the point he has helped me get started with the nappy cakes I made etc etc until I was actually earning money and not buying all stash with anything I made!!

Pinkladymel huge Congratulations on winning, you so deserve it, all your crafty bits and scrapbook pages are fantastic. It was a pleasure voting for such a talented lady, I'm so glad it helped you win. Great news for the Alicia Appeal too, there are so many generous people connected to this thread, I feel priviledged to be a part of it.

Rusty brilliant news about your car! You will go to the NEC lol. I wish I could take up the offer of the spare seat but I can't go....boo hoo.... More important I am going to see my son and beautiful grandaughter I havent seen since March. My DH said its a pity it wasn't this Friday, as we will be passing on our way to Plymouth, he would have dropped me off for a few hours so I could meet you all in the flesh! Never mind.. next time. Your DH sounds really generous and supportive of your hobby's, mine is just the same and I count myself very lucky. Were those labels ok for you and do you want any more?

I have posted my swaps this morning 1st class so Rainmac and Mrs Tidge you should get them tomorrow.
