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

Hello all :j
OH been for his blood test......came back very long faced with about five sheets of paper about tomorrows biopsy. Appt is 3.15 -got to ring in the morning to make sure there's a bed available (there better be !) No-one can tell us how long he might be there........depends on his recovery...............can see me dining out at hospital canteen. Two offers of a lift home if he has to stay in and apparently they waiver the car park fees as he's having this done. Can see tomorrow being a bit of a **** day ............still, wear something inside out you lot.............you never know............might just do some good............:rotfl:

Thinking of Mr Mary tomorrow, hope it goes well for him.

Blimey I am sooooooooooooooo embarrassed at being number one chatterbox , I'll sit on my hands every few days to reduce my number of posts

Mary, am thinking of you and Mr Mary and will have my pants and socks on inside out tomorrow. Please look after yourself as well as him won't you xxx

Sal, sorry you're still feeling rough. My very sore throat has turned into a bit of a sore throat with a cold so I too am sneezing, coughing etc. Want it to clear up for the weekend as we are off to London with the boys to see Father Christmas at Harrods. They don't know why we're going so it will be a lovely surprise.

Flourgirl, have a go at an easel card, I think you'll like them

I've got 3 friends coming round tonight for a Chinese and a chat. I made a lemon cheesecake for pudding and after I had a small slice (to check it was edible ), gave the boys a slice each for pudding and cut two more slices for OH and his mate (OH is going to a mate's house to play XBox games :rolleyes:), there's hardly any left for later!!!

Fingers crossed inside out of course mary .

I had seen that ribbon the wife but had resisted as I knew I wouldn't use it - they have a free postage offer if you check their blog and delivery is really quick. I really must use some of my ribbon on cards rather than keep it stuffed in a box .

I have only done the bottom of my airing cupboard as I can only get into the top cupboard by standing on the toilet and I'm still not allowed to lift my arm above shoulder height :rotfl:. Am planning on tackling that as there are duvet covers in there from the dark ages .

Final window is being fitted tomorrow so will be roasting in here then I had to take my jumper off last night - something never known in this ice box before :rotfl:. Am going to craft tonight as still haven't done any of my swaps and have DST withdrawal symptoms :rotfl::rotfl:

Fantastic well done supergran - will get my act together and get some more non xmas bits stuck together .
Think we did come past the Blaxton roundabout flourgirl - went back way from Blyth through to the M180 as A1 junction still closed - not sure was driving OH's new car plus was trying to follow sat nav so wasn't looking where I was going :rotfl:

went and collected my ebay win today, nearly had a panic attack drivng as i hate driving places i dont know well especially when there busy and full of roundabouts.

told my mum what i had bought and she said she nearly bid on it for me but didnt because of the postage lol i nearly ended up in a bidding war with myself (not to self tell mum not to bid on things)

i have gone from one nice neat box of crafty stuff to a full corner of my room full lol you lot are a bad influence. i really need to get some storage drawers

Furrypig Please look for your postie tomorrow. Your ATC is on its way

Rainmac Your parcel will be on its way in the morning... I missed the parcel collection ( it came early :O( ) I love Lemon cheesecake so not surprised its nearly all gone... If its as good as your Rocky Road i bet its delicious.

Craftygranny Same with your parcel, it will be on its way in the morning. No laughing when you open yours either. I attatched little notes to the packs lol Fantastic amount raised, well done to you all.... Also twins ooooooh twice as much fun

Nannyboo1 I think its best to use double sided tape... Although im not 100 % sure what you mean , so might be best to ignore me LOL

flourgirl

Nannyboo I use double sided tape to stick mints on, it is extra wide and very strong its what I use for making boxes. If you put plenty on they should be ok.
