Hello

...haven't had chance to read much- Rainmac made me come here lol not sure why I'm here really as if anyone replies to me prob won't see it lol. Well done Craftygranny you're ace but we knew that already *hugs* to anyone that feels like a baboon's bottom and *ninja hugs* to the people who have stayed in touch with me even though I have been awol you know who you are xxxxxx Sorry that I haven't read everything I think if I'm ok in a few weeks I'll have a mega reading session but maybe when I'm a bit better I'll just start at that moment and read on it may be less stress. We have depeche mode tickets that family bought us for Christmas and it's looking increasingly unlikely that I'll be able to go. Gutted. Probably won't be back for a bit so din't bother commenting but I just thought I'd come and say hi and give you a big *h*u*g* as Ranimac....she made me do it innit

My email address is on my blog by the way if you get a spare 5 mins. I can get my emails on my mobile phone lol... get me I'm in with the in crowd

*hugs*

just popped on to let you know we raised 470 pounds between the stall and the tombola plus we have orders for 4 large nappy cakes and a 25 pounds pamper hamper for a 90th birthday. Plus we still have money to come in from raffles etc that the landlord did . My grandson thomas did a sponsored trampoline bounce this afternoon as he wanted to help and raised another 253 pounds .
Third time i've written this the silly site keeps going mad and chucking me out . lol Will catch up on all the posts later. So a big Thank You to everyone and compliments were flowing all afternoon about how beautiful everything was.
Not sure if i'm supposed to tell or not but danielle Alicia's mum found out last week that she is pregnant with twins. Due in May .

Hate to say it craftygranny but we told you so :rotfl: We knew you'd do well - orders too, brilliant!!! Huge well done to Thomas too and Alicia is going to be a big sister, what lovely, lovely news xxx

Rusty, love your easel card, the stamp is beautiful :T Sorry your OH has been in a carp mood but great to hear your Thomas has been better behaved.

I have caved in and ordered new 6x6 pads of Eskimo Kisses and Nook & Pantry

oooh twins how exciting! Congrats.
Now i have just been offered another craft fair and normally i would jump at the chance as it is free! All i have to do is give a raffle prize. However it is in the same place as my flop one on friday also it is 6pm till 8pm set up from 5. My hubby is away that day and isn't expected back untill very late that night. So i have no one that can help me carry things and to help me as i would have to get my mum to have my ds for me and it is on a school night. In-laws live too far away and non of my close friends would be able to help as all 3 of their hubbys work nights so no one to look after their children.
I don't know what to do. I wouldn't be losing anything by doing it but i still would be heart broken if it was a waste of time. It is also a week before bubs arrives. HELP!

Ooohhh that's tough if you are on your own. If you want to sell your stock then it's a great opportunity to do so

craftygranny

Louby if you explained to the organiser would they let you set up a bit earlier so that your friends could help you set up etc and if they say no ask if they have anyone who could carry things for you as it is only a week before your baby arrives. Worst they can do is say no. Help often comes from the most unexpected places .Would it be possible for your little one to go with you then mum can help you? We had 6 with us yesterday aged from 1 to 8 they loved helping lol. 10pm when we got back and 4 of them had school today. If i lived nearer i'd come and help you out. I'd leave my scooter at home though i promise lol.
Hope you can get some help and do it and hope you sell loads i've heard others say they did one that was a wash out and a few weeks later a sell out in the same place . Yesterday we had people saying oh it's too early to think about xmas yet . maybe they all last minute shop where you live too.

To early to think about Christmas??? It's only 4 weeks away! I'm panicking like mad as am nowhere near ready!!

craftygranny

You know those papers will turn up now you've ordered more don't you :rotfl:
Only problem now is the babies are due around when liss is due to go to boston. Luckily she is very close to danielle's dad peter and he always goes with them when she has treatment so he'll be able to take her and her auntie emma is a nurse so has offered to go too. Or brave lady said she'll help look after the twins so that danielle can go if she's up to it . I told her if she's stuck we could passs the babies round on here like a round robin and they'd be well loved and well travelled lol.
She also asked me to pass on her thanks as we couldn't have done it without you all we hadn't got a clue where to start and you gave us a big push in the right direction so :T:T:T:T:beer::beer::beer:

Hi myz lovely to see you again i'll drop you an email or a text later . You decorated those lids yet :rotfl:Shame about the concert you would have loved that . Stop staying away i told you we won't think you're moaning all the time at all. . Look after yourself and hope you're feeling a bit better today.

The wife i love that ribbon it's fab wonder if i could find a use for some . `

well done on the fayre crafty granny.
can anyone help- each time i try to post on ukscrappers- it says ur post will be viewed by a moderater first before visible? but i posted on sat and still not visible!
paddingtondoo- i found 3 shops all with different sheets of mme be merry. No one shop has all papers i want and all charge postage. The craft shop i got them in i think is out stock and its 30 mins drive so would prob equal the postage. thanks for the tip off tho

I have done the draw for the RAK I offered on craftyplace. sorry I don't have several of each item but names were drawn out of a bowl at random so sorry to those who missed out.

Please can you go check the thread as I need a couple of addresses!
Thanks ladies, promise I will be back later on to catch up properly! I have steam coming out of my ears I am sooo busy!! xx
