Do it do it do it

I feel for you. I have a mum the same no matter what I do is never good enough. She buys cards from me for certain people but if it is one of her good friends or a relative then she buys them as they are better.

popkins - that is awful (thought my mum was the queen of the back handed compliment!)
Crafty - What a lovely postie!! (Did your atc arrive for Craftyplace??)
Padd- those stamps are lovely. (Nice windows!)

I am sure I have missed other people off that I was going to mention but cant remember so many pages to catch up on after a day at work got brain strain!!

Don't waste good glue - just spit on the back of them and tell her they're self adhesive :rotfl::rotfl:

:rotfl:LOL - no I daren't!!!!! :eek: You don't know my mother!!! :rotfl:saying & doing are two different things!!! :rotfl:(such a wuss!!!!)

Me either - have tried it and have then had her on the phone the next day saying she didn't sleep coz I'd upset her :rolleyes: Not that she was bothered about my feelings the other week when she said she hadn't been well and my brother had been brilliant "because of course he's here" as my crystal ball was out of action I had no idea

Thanks so much for all of your help with the eyelet setter - and people who have not used eyelets...why not!? YOU ARE MISSING OUT I TELL YOU!! Thanks for the tip about QVC very helpful!

TomsMom - great to see you here. You won't meet a better bunch of crafters anywhere. And need bargains? these are your gals

So off I tootled to the craft shop by me today. IT'S SHUT DOWN!? They did a bunk, a moonlight flit if you will and in its place is an interior decor shop (which is actually gorgeous, I asked the woman if I could come and live in her shop!). They do table centrepiece classes and flower arranging.....sounds like fun! Also got chatting about my cards and she wants to see them to see if she might sell them, but I think she might want too big a cut of the profit, and they didn't really "fit" with the rest of her shop, but will give it a whirl, she can only say no.

So..long long story short - I have NOWHERE closeby to buy craft supplies from now. Not even glue *sob* so I will have to take my custom online. Now I know not so long ago a few of you mentioned 12 x 12 card cheap somehwere online and I have forgotten where. Also I need christmas papers (more!) and I'm sure a few other bits could sneak in. Where is the best place to buy? Anyone seen anything nice for xmas? (im not a stamper! )

Thanks so much for your helps

Hello all !
OH still at the hospital.............in the end I didn't go with him........woke up sneezing and coughing and felt awful so he insisted I stay home. Just as well as he's stuck there till some time tomorrow. He'd have been home by now if the doctor had gone round to see him but seems he won't get round to fitting him in till about 11 tonight :eek: I know that hospital and their doctors........might as well look for a needle in haystack as try to get hold of one. OH not too happy about being stuck there but if he discharged himself and drove home and anything went wrong.........well there's no come back is there. Just with the hospital had told me earlier..........when I phoned at 6pm doctor was doing his rounds and got called away (tea break ???) so that was that.
Oh well, rant over................having spent the day worrying about him at least now I know the whole procedure went according to plan.............expect results will be next Tuesday (everything at that place seems to be Tuesday !)..............so keep things inside out for us:j

rainmac - thankyou so much for the little bag of gems and lovely card. Couldn't have come on a better day for me xx:j
