Making Cards - Ideas for a card craft beginner (Part 3)

Marg

Mumhug - So sorry to hear that, I used to miss all sorts when I was a part timer in a big office - console yourself by buying stash with the money you'll save, not just the tickets, the new outfit, drinks etc or plan a super night out with your OH much nicer. (Mind you, I hate Xmas parties so it's easy for me to say)

Alyssa - Sorry I can't help with blog stuff I tried one last May & gave up

Hi all just popping i say hi I am feeling all sorry for myself today. Ijust found out that they are having a huge xmas party at work and no one invited me. Now it is too late as it has all been paid for. So I thought I would pop in and see my virtual freinds as you lot are always around lol.

That's awful mumhug - wish someone had forgotten to ask me to mine - is costing about £150 with clothes and everything else which I could have spent on stash :rotfl:I've even had to buy a dress!!

I looked at those punches marg but decided to be good :A
I am a stashoholic and I've been spend free for the last 14 days :T:T

I have spent all day trying to make a rocket card for my sons birhtday and it is driving me insane:mad:, it doesnt look anything how i want it to look and, well its completely different, and i feel really deflated by it, so much so that i think i might just throw it in the bin and NOT bother starting again.

It just looks like a child has made it.

Ive put it in a box out of the way and i migh go back to it tommorrow with fresh eyes and try to finish it cos if i sit staring at it, it will drive me nuts.

Had to go into town today as i misplaced my cashcard and the only place i used it yesterday was in morrison's so i rang them and YES i had left it in the card machine:o, but they had it should i want to go and pick it up, PHEW!!!!

On the way back i just had to pop into the craft shop - when i walked in the young girl behind the counter said hello, your fast becoming our Number 1 customer:eek: I dont know if that is a good thing or a bad thing.

ANyway they let me have a peek at the new stock they had just had delivered but none of it took my fancy. But i did somehow manage to still spend £50. Mainly on the storage boxes for my 12x12 papers and some A4 ones and a few smaller ones to put my stamps and stuff in. So all my stuff is now super organised.

Although i still never seem to be able to find what im lookig for without routing through every box.

how is everyone ?? im a bit in limbo at the moment , me and the OH are tryin to figure if we can afford to move out together to rent , which i think we can just! or should we stay as we are at parents and save for a morgage (which will take ages)

Alyssa, that's a tough one, I'd say stay where you are and keep saving but people tell me I am far too sensible sometimes

Finally finished my snowman soup last night ready for Saturday... http://rainmacsplace.blogspot.com/

Been shopping today and I bought some indoor fireworks from Hawkins Bazaar. I remember my m&d buying these when I was little and we used to think they were great. Going to take them to my m&d on Christmas Day and set them off after dinner Also bought some snow, this. Also thinking of altering a tub and making a Christmas dinner table joke/trivia tub.
