Oh no, didn't know you were poorly! Hope you are ok x

I know Bunbun made hers after watching the utube tutorial and I agree it makes perfect sense when you see someone do it

I am not supposed to be poorly! I don't want to be poorly!! Just feel so sicky this morning, hoping it will pass! I have an appt at the docs today about my leg aswell! I have been ordered by OH and MIL to ask to be signed off work! Not happy about it but know that I am hurting myself too much by keep pushing myself to do everything!!

I have been busy all morning putting some finishing touches to bits for my craft fair on friday. Somethings just seem to be so time consuming don't they. Makes me think is it really worth it for £1 here and there.
I will be posting the bra challenge bits off today don't get too excited though. Sorry for the delay.

Hi everyone, I've been catching up with the blogs and there are so many fantastic cards being made.

I finally made one last night after about 2 weeks of nothing. I used Fiddle Farts (sorry I can't remember who you are again!!) gem Christmas Tree idea. But I had to adapt it to what I had available, but I'm quite pleased with the output. I'll blog it when I've done some more cards.

I also went to Guildford and went in some cheapo book shop and much to my surprise they sell a few crafting bits and they had the July and September goody bags from do crafts and I just couldn't resist. I got the the July one that came with the Robin stamp.

I also got the snowman stickers from Accessorize that Fiddle Fart has used in her blogs...

I keep looking at the Sizzix Big Shot/ Cuttlebug and can't decide which to ask for my Birthday and if I should even have one. It's not very money saving, but then I could use nestabilities...hmmm Help me decide!!

Thanks, rainmac and rusty! I've just found a seller on ebay who's doing loads (250) in white and different colours for 0.99p plus 70p postage but I had no idea how you fixed them, but I know now.

rusty, they were on your swing card and so off i went for a lookee.

we bought something similar at the NEC and were totally thrown when we opened them cos they weren't like the brads we normally have so am really grateful to this post
thank you

They are cheap but did you notice they are only 5mm which is smaller than the ones from craftwork cards . I got some a few weeks ago which were 4mm and they aren't much bigger than a pin head.

Well ladies you'll all soon know if your cards are good enough to sell. My daughter asked in the local shopping centre about selling the things we made for alicia and they said put it in writing but it should be no problem . So fingers crossed we can do it in december. They said the hancart thing they use will be free so hopefully we should make a good few quid. It's all a bit scary though.
