So sweet. I bought a new mag at the weekend from the craft shop Making Gifts. Lots of things that I have already seen posted about in threads on MSE but there was an article on a lady who makes these. Never heard of them before

I haven't had a problem with the one I have Melissa? only a problem with bleeding from the promarkers which I think was the lack of quality card!! not had a chance to give it another try on thicker card as yet!! Can I ask who your fairy is from? there are 2 in there and they are beautiful!!

Wow wrestling I am sooo jealous! I always wanted to go and watch the wrestling, I used to watch it religiously! can you share some photos when you sort them?

Rusty glad you had a fab time at the NEC it sound like your haggling skills are second to none, great prices on the Scor-pal and nesties. Wish I had sent you some money to get me some lol. I hope you havent over done it with your back problems! Fab photo of you all now I know what you look like x

flourgirl

Could all the ones who sent cards to Ikki's Appeal please let me know who you are so I can do a little draw and send something.

Craftygranny I have done somethings for your Appeal too just need to post them x

3 more shifts in the Cake Shop for me this week So not much crafting, although my crafting buddy is coming round for the day on Wednesday, might get something made inbetween gossiping lol

Marg

Spooky! Thank you Flourgirl - I've ordered too!

Rainmac - missed you since NEC Are you OK?

DH is waiting for me gotta go ............will catch up properly later 'Byee!

flourgirl

I think Rainmac is in hiding until after her craft fair. I hope she is OK too x

MrsTidge

Afternoon ladies.

Well, I'm feeling like th worst mum of the year here. DS1 had a day and a half of school last week with a temp and sore throat, went in on Friday and seemed much better over the weekend. Got a call from school to pick him up - he has now got a very rapidly spreading rash and hacking cough! Got a Drs appointment later-I've been nosing about the net and it looks like it may be german measles? He's lying on the sofa feeling sorry for himself, and I'm trying to work out what work I can do from home... at least DH and I work in the same place and they are pretty flexible.

On the bright side - may be able to sneak in some crafting tomorrow!

Rudty - hope your back's not too bad now.

Melissa - I never had you down for a wrestling fan!

ali.b.123

Melissa - not played yet just had a stroke!!!
Craftygranny - sent you a package for Alicia today - hope you get it!!
Mrs T - hope your son is feeling better soon.
I too was wondering about Rainmac - hope she is ok.

Mrs tidge - dont feel bad, its not your fault. My kids get a rash everytime they are ill i dont wait for appointments we go straight to A&E, they usually have an ear infection or a sore throat but it just presents itself in a rash.

Do they itch with german measles? If so ask the doctor for piriton, the stuff used for hayfever, as it has an anti-histemine in that stops the itch. My kids had it when they had chicken pox and it was a life-saver.
