Evening all, sorry I have been awol for a couple of days, I have been sooooo busy sorting out all of the junk in the garage!! OH has got us some storage so we have been making the most of it and hopefully in the next couple of months DS will have a proper bedroom and then DD will be moved into her own bedroom!! he reckons that as it is costing him money to store stuff it will make him pull his fingers out!

Anyway just a quick one from me!! I will take pics of all my new stash and all the lovely pressies and cards from the ladies and also the pictures I took tomorrow, not going to have a chance tonight!!

Slyphraven - Lovely to finally meet you, you are a lovely lady!! Thankyou for my beautiful christmas pressies!! so personal and I was trying my hardest not to cry when I was looking at them! OH loved it also!! I also managed to miss the mince pies??

Choccy - Thankyou for keeping me awake on the way there/way back - I NEED the recipe for the lovely fudge OH was quite suprised that I came home with an Xbox!! he asked how I would get it back to you and I told him it would be such a shame that I would have to come visit you with the kiddies :j ... he reckons we have plotted it together!

BunBun - Thankyou for keeping me awake also and plying me with second eyes for speed cameras!! I shall be up to visit you soon will also ring through the week

Rainmac - Lovely lovely lady! Thankyou for my bag of goodies!! they are so beautiful!! and thankyou for the lovely lilly of the valley stamp I love it!! was soooooo lovely to finally meet you even more so when you come armed with choccy rocky road!!

Skiergirl - Thankyou for my lovely card! Not had chance to unpack it yet (nor any of my new stash!) but it will be on display as of tomorrow

Furry - What a lovely lady you are!! Thankyou for the lovely mystery present!! I haven't opened it at yet!

Can't remember if I have missed anyone or not??I am sorry if I have? It was so lovely to meet you all and there was so many of you!! I had a fantastic day!! and then to top it off OH told me that I am allowed my cropodile now and that he planned to let me have it all along he also says he will look into buying me my nesties that I couldn't get at the NEC!

Big thankyou to Melissa75 I had a lovely little present arrive yesterday!! a beautiful notepad and some lovely stamped images! They are perfect! thankyou so much!! I have a little something for you which I will put in the post on tuesday (just need to sort it out before I post it!)

Hi all, just wondering if anyone could pm me the address to send Ikkis cards to - many thanks.

Well I survived the spare room and by turning the shelves round it seems loads bigger - there's even a floor in there although the carpet has seen better days .

Haven't done any crafting but all my stash is now upstairs there's even enough room for the stuff off the dining table (suppose I'll have to clean that now):rotfl:.

DD was a little star she helped me empty everything out and then carried it back through so I could rearrange it - am going to have a bath to get the cobwebs and cat fur out of my hair .

well hubby and I have just had a fantastic weekend, we stayed at the Hilton and went to the NEC on Saturday - absolutely manic !!! we've been looking forward to it since February and I was so worried that I'd built it up too much in my head and was going to be disappointed but it was amazing !!! we had so much fun and spent so much money lol
will definately be going back next year

Sunrise - glad you had a good time - have you got any pics of your stash!!

I`m feeling a bit upset- had a great idea for some little cards I wanted to make to go in work colleagues xmas gift bags and it didn`t work out.

I bought the cuttlebug christmas dies but the shapes are so tiny that they look a bit silly....

Kim - the paint tins were from here.

Sunrise - glad there was something left for you!

Rainmac - how did the fair go? You must let us know what went really well!

Ok so as far as i am aware only 3 people did the challenge and they were

OAP1945, Princesswoo and marg if there is anyone else let me know and i will do a draw otherwise i will just give all 3 a little something. I loved seeing them and i am not sure that yours OAP are not for that old a person as you think. They look like my maternity pants:rotfl: Real nice kidney warmers!

Glad you all had a good time at the NEC and i am very jealous of all your stashes. Did you go into the christmas gift hall? I remember hubby just kept going off last year to eat and buy chocolates from one stall when he got bored.
