    Oooh no need to say sorry about the cheese!!! :o

    oooh so you made the dress - even better you're so clever!! The fabric design is soooooo fab I can totally see why you would want to make something out of it!

    :rotfl:Looks like Mrs Tidge is not the only one who's got name changes on the cards - yesterday I became 'Popster' :rotfl::rotfl:and now today I am 'Pipkins' :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I might start getting an identity crisis at this point LOL!! :rotfl:


    Oooh also mean't to say that it was quite funny cos this morning my OH said that it was really funny last night cos when I came thru the front door I looked like a cat coming thru the catflap with something I shouldn't or a cat who's got on the kitchen top & 'stolen' a chicken leg or something they shouldn't!! LOL!!! Lucky he doesn't know how much I spent - just worked it out OUCH!!! LOL!!

  • OAP - I love your challenge cards, as with others, the 'cosy' pair are definitely my favourites!
    Sylphraven - I think I did remember to compliment you on your dress yesterday, but I didn't realise you'd made it yourself. I'm very impressed!
    Popkins - I don't dare try to add up what I spent! I know I left the house with £65 and said that I wouldn't spend all of it, but then ended up spending on my card. But I did come home with a purse full of cash. ;) That'll pay for my new tattoo :j :j I'm going to get it done in a couple of hours - I'll post some pics when it's done. :)

    I'm still buzzing after yesterday, it was so much fun. As soon as I get back from my holiday, I'm starting a sealed tin for March. My heat gun arrived today from Creative Craft World so I'm off to have a play with it now. I'm annoyed though, there was supposed to be a free pack of card blanks with every order placed in November and December, but there's none in with my order. :(
    some people grin and bear it, others smile and do it :)

    I have finished my challenge card. Its taken me ages. I'll post a pic when the glus has dried.

    (I'm sure i have posted this already but it hasnt shown on the page - how weird.)

    NEC12 - pleased to hear you had a fantastic day and bagged yourselves loads of discounted stash.

    Lei-armstrong - can you PM me your address so i can post you the stamped images.

    Craftygranny - i havent posted alicias cards yet, i havent had much crafting time this week, with all the fireworks etc, but i have a child free day on tuesday to get them all put together, as i have all the bits made just not had the free time to assemble them yet.

    Although i might get a load done tonight after some more fireworks as im still boycotting x-factor until the twins have gone.

  • They made my eyes water princesswoo :rotfl:.

    My blog candy arrived from Nutcrafters and it was 4 stamps alltogether a Nutshells one plus 3 Alota ones 2 xmas sentiments and the cute one of the eskimo riding a polar bear.

    Was going to call in you last night flourgirl but as it was 3am I thought you'd be a bit miffed - was only out for 4 hours from 11:30 :eek:.

    No crafting for me am gonna get cracking on the spare room in a bit. Have a good day :D
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p

    Padster - 4 hours! you'd have had time to come & have a cuppa over here! I was awake too!

    Princesswoo - and my eyes too! - well said Padster!

    Flourgirl - Think a stopover would be the best way for me to do it too as DH would have to chauffeur me.

    Hels - What museum did your OH & son go to please? (thinks..... for DH in March)
