Lei-Armstrong - your trinket box is gorgeous, was it hard to make - I always really struggle when it comes to making them. I've got the euphoria papers - they are gorgeous - I've used them on loads of cards.

Princesswoo - my kids started their half term today - so far they are behaving them selves - it wont last long!!!!!

Furrypig - have you spent your coupon yet?????

Rusty - how thoughful is your OH???? Mine has no interest in my craft stuff at all, other than to say I have too much!!!

Pinkladymel - that's great news about the magazine helping too!!!

I'm really excited about the girls helping out with the donations, I really hope we can make a difference. Such sadness in this world, The Secret Millionaire (TV Prog) broke my heart this week!

Hey, the pinklady has come back to the thread :dance: I can't wait to see the Do Crafts magazine, hope it comes tomorrow

Furrypig, got your stash today, thank you, it's very colour co-ordinated and my fave colour is blue (did you know that??). The embossed paper in your stash is MME Bloom and Grow, I bought it recently, it's fab isn't it x

Flourgirl, so glad you like your friendship card and October ATC

NEGirl, I'd love to meet you at the NEC too

Rusty, god wish your OH would give my OH some lessons. Mine sees crafting as a waste of time and money.

I've checked train times and can get to the NEC about 10ish, that should be ok shouldn't it?

Just come back from seeing UP what a lovely film, now I can see after stopping crying!! my boys were v. embarressed!
Catch up properly soon!

It's a beautiful film isn't it, I loved it and would go and see it again but think my boys would rather see something new. Has anyone seen the Fantastic Mr Fox?

Best get on with tea I guess, macaroni cheese tonight. I cut the card to make some little teabag cards earlier so will be sorting those out tonight.

Had a really busy day making bits and pieces - if you want a nosey then they are here.

Rainmac - thanks for the link to the christmas toppers. They are fab.

I love your xmas tree decorations Flourgirl. May has to pinch that idea to brighten up our christmas tree, and perhaps also make some to go with my jingle beans. Should be a doddle now I have my new nestabilities .

Craftygranny - i'm a follower of Alicia's blog and have also added the button to my blog. I wish you the best of luck with the fundraising, and hope you reach your target very soon. Will pm you for your address.

Congratulations Pinkladymel on winning the scrapbook apprentice.

Good afternoon

I am feeling much better and have actually managed a bit of crafting!! I have finally completed the ATC and friendship card for the CP swops so fingers crossed the Royal Mail will keep delivering and they will arrive soon!

Melissa I haven't spent my stampingbella voucher yet must go over there and have another look!

Rainmac so glad the stash finally arrived only took a week!! Glad you liked it! I just decided to colour co-ordinate it rather than picking out random things. I did the same for Hels last month tho' it was just co-incidence that it was blue for you. Glad I chose a colour you like!! The papers are fab I agree so thanks for sharing them with me very generous of you!

I cannot believe that Christmas is coming round so fast now!! even more exciting is the NEC is next week...where did that time go?? I am sorry that not everyone can make it as it will be fun putting names to faces but there will definitely people I will miss xxx

Jammy - thanks for that help - will have a go later.
Rainmac - mmm George Clooney mmm even if it is just his voice mmm:smileyhea
Furry - I know what you mean - where has the year gone!!! Hope all that are going to the NEC have a great time - I will be listening out for the ringing of tills!!! Kind of wish was going - it would be lovely to meet you all - maybe another time. Will be waiting with baited breath for when you are all home safely and can have a full breakdown and pics please of all purchases!!
