    Thanks CT

    I've got everything still packed in the back of the car, haven't a clue what to do with it all now - I didn't realise I had so much stuff! lol

    Sally sorry to hear that the fair wasn’t as successful as it should have been for you. Your items are fantastic, and I am sure it would have been the weather that put people off going. Well done for sticking it out for as long as you did.

    Whoopidoo - I think your angels are fantastic! It's a brilliant idea I can see them being on your tree for years & years with the lovely memories they bring.

    Oooh flourgirl, thanks so much for the link to that blog. Just what I need for inspiration as I try to get back into my card-making. I'm a bit behind with styles of cards and that will give me lots of ideas. Just waiting for my Cuttlebug now. I managed to pick up some papers locally at the weekend and when my embossing folders and new stamp (the robin one - yes I did order it :D ) arrive I'll be ready to go :j.

    Rusty - I had a practice run with the easel card (thanks again for the link to the instructions) and was very pleased with the result. If I have the right envelopes I think I'll make them 5" square as I prefer a slightly bigger card. Again waiting for the Cuttlebug to do some backgrounds but have enough papers/toppers etc. to get going, so thanks :T.
  • Well as it's the last day of the month i will be doing the blog candy draw for alicia's blog. If you sent something and you're not on the list below please let me know. Kaitlyn will draw it tonight .

    Afternoon all! thumb update - feels much better and has scabbed over a little but still sore to pinch/pick things up with. Maybe I'll get some crafting done this evening whilst OH is out at his meeting ;)

    thanks for the blog link to Creative Corner flourgirl - some fab things on there, just the right thing to peruse over my lunch hour ;)

    I have seen Hero Arts Micro Glitter mentioned on a couple of blogs - can anyone tell me where I can buy it please?

    I have been on their website but can't find it.

    Thanks
