Bumper cardmaking kit reduced to £4.99 from £20.00 www.bargaincrazy.com

Looks like it's just a pack of 25 handmade cards to me?

Anyways i've added a new card to my blog http://leialegweak.blogspot.com/2009/12/santa-collage-card.html - thank you TheWife (& craftygranny) for the Santa Collage stamped images!

Bit annoyed today as I ordered about £25 worth of bits from Craftwork Cards on Saturday and they emailed me this afternoon to say that they think I tried to place and order but there was a problem so to call them if I still want it?! They've taken the money though and I got an invoice... x

paddington - I was really quite civilised........lol Not at all scary like the other week............................lol
Still, paid off.................when the 'big man in white coat' consultant phones me back and not just some receptionist with an appointment............lol
Occassionally it pays to put yourself out a bit I think.......:j

Help - I need inspiration!

I have one more notebook to make for an 8 yo girl who's not very girly. I'm going for a turquise background colour I think but have no idea what to use as an embellishment. Have contemplated digi-stamps but I'm not sure whether my printer will print out ok so I don;t want to spend a fortune on the stamp.

Any thoughts?

Mary - fab news about your OH. Glad its nothing too serious and that they will continue to keep an eye on it

Great bits on your blog Dawntea Bag, you have been busy, and your son looks cute in your hat. PM me your email address as I may have something that fits your turquoise theme.

Great to see you back JHB - glad you had a fab time in Las Vegas. Hope your daughter makes a speedy recovery. Good luck with the lecturing, you are very brave.

Beautiful cards on your blog Lei and Lousie.

Well done on your recent wins everyone.

I'm so pleased my sizzix dies also turned up today, so will have a play with them tomorrow. I've also got lots of time to craft over the next 3 weeks as apart from working next tuesday and 2 other days before the 21st I'm off work until 4th Jan. Just told OH who was a bit shocked and told him that I am crafting all day tomorrow, so the food shop will have to wait :rotfl:. I think he now believe that I will turn into a domestic goddess, but I have other ideas :rotfl::rotfl:.

Would anyone be willing to share their snowman rhyme and image with me, as I want to make some for my son's teachers/teaching assistants. I have 8 to do altogether, and thought that I would give them one each, plus a post it coaster (thanks to the link that flourgirl posted the other day) - i've made 3 and think they look pretty good - will do the other 5 tomorrow, and will also make up some pots of gold to go with them, and the kids are going to make some cards.

Today, I finally gave my friend the towel/blanket cake I had made a few weeks ago and she loved it, so thank you Sally for the link to make one.

I'll update my blog with all my makes tomorrow.

Good luck for the jab tomorrow Rusty, I'm sure we will all be thinking about you.

I am very impressed with the glitter pot. I placed an order about 3 this afternoon and this evening got an e mail to say it has been shipped:j

did the free postage at craftwork cards ever happen. I can't see any mention of it on the website

I am slowly working my way through the blogs!
