Sally's Cards

Happy Birthday for yesterday Hels – hope you had a fantastic wedding day too.

Rusty – glad to hear your pains are improving, hopefully you will be back to full strength in no time.

Tom’s Mum – hope your OH is improving and he is back home very soon.

Rainmac – hope your craft fairs this weekend have been really successful, and you are not to knackered!

Sally & Lei – great cards on your blogs, thanks to Paddingtondoo, for the link to the freebie digi stamps, they have some great ones on the site.

Marg – hope you are feeling better very soon after having the flu jab.

Great find Wishful Comper – wish we had HomeBargain stores down south :mad:.

I have had a really busy few days, helping OH putting new taps in the bathroom, sorting out the house ready to have my neice to stay for the next 4 weeks, which is going to be great as she lives in Greece, and will be able to babysit for us to OH and I can go out for some romantic meals.

Have managed to fit in some crafting though, and have added the bits to my blog.

My OH, has been really pleased with himself and he has told me that he has ordered me some crafting bits for Christmas. I haven't given him a list, as I never thought that he would get me anything, but when I was home on Friday I took in a delivery which unfortunately was only in the box it comes in and not boxed again, so I know what he has got me, a Craft Robo. Does anyone on here have one, as I haven't heard of them before. I've googled what they are and you can do some amazing things with them, but I'm just a bit worried that it will just sit in the box more than it will get used, and also worried that I don't have the imagination with my cards to do it justice.

Hoping to do a few more bits and pieces tomorrow.

It's worth popping back into your home bargains even if they don't have any at the moment. I was looking for these for ages after spotting them on a ukscrappers thread. I got a baby bottle and paiisley 'M' sized one a few weeks after everyone else found theirs. I'd really wanted circles and ovals as these had been spotted by other ukscrappers and almost gave up hope. Then found circle, star and flower all M and 99p a few days ago. They all went and then a couple of days later they had an XL star one (rrp £14.99) fror 99p. None there at all now but its worth checking the stationery aisle and the houseware aisles for these.
When I popped in today (and accidentally spent £30+!!) I picked up a started calligraphy set for £1.99. It has 4 berol calligraphy pens in and a beginners guide. rrp £10.99. Bought one for a cousin who does scrapbooking and one for myself as thought they might some in useful! This was on the homewares aisle rather than the stationery one.

Wow! You are a vey lucky girl!!!!!

There's a whole section on ukscrappers for people that have these. Have a look here

I'm sure they's be happy to help with any questions you have once you get it. The ukscrappers are generally a nice bunch! Well, whoopidoo and I are ok so I assume the rest of them are too!

Thanks for the link - i'll go and have a look. At the moment my OH is reading up about what I can make with it in the future, somehow I suspect he will have a go of it though:rotfl:. Hate to think how much it cost him though, I suspect loads of money, but he obviously thinks I'm worth it:rotfl::rotfl:.
