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

paddingtondoo

Sorry been AWOL have been reading but can't remember [STRIKE]everything[/STRIKE] much at all really - must have been sniffing too much sticky tape :rotfl:.

Wrapped my last present a 3:10 this afternoon :T and made OH's card which I'll post on my blog later - still haven't put the tree up or ordered the meat for Xmas day but everything else is done .

Made OH get out of bed this morning so I could hoover upstairs - he's really not well at all but told him I wasn't having him being ill wasting my day off - sent him back to bed so I could wrap his presents and forgot to tell him he was safe to come downstairs :rotfl::rotfl:.

Good luck Mr Mary for tomorrow - can I turn the cat inside out so the fur has somewhere to collect? Am fed up with her filling the hoover single pawedly ( I know that's not a word but she doesn't have hands )

paddington -thanks............if you find a way to do that with your cat let me know...........I've got three........:rotfl:

Padster - I'd like to know too - but judging by the fur balls already generated by my two think fur's best kept on the outside. Hope DH recovers soon!

Flourgirl - that Santa card is fab - hope rainmac doesn't see it & set January's challenge on it!! Your quick cards were good too & gave me an idea so that mine don't look too bare & white - Thank you!

Rusty - Love your love [STRIKE]birds[/STRIKE] robins card.

Evening all, just a quickie in between coming back from eldest sons Christingle Concert - which was lovely & putting the boys to bed.
Mary - fingers crossed and niks inside out for tomorrow!
Sally - lovely makes - they are gorgeous.
Sorry cant remember other things from the last couple of pages but will blog hop and put comments on there later.
I also think there is a glass of wine with my name on!! (v. thirsty after singing those carols!!)

Forgot to mention that I won this blog candy
Thought it was rude not to order the new Miss Anya stamps - they look gorgeous.

Re organised my stamps today (stopped counting at 200 ) as my bear collection had outgrown it's draw for some reason and have packed all my christmas stash up into a box and put it away for next year .

OH is still feeling carp so have booked our holiday only 7 weeks and 5 days to go :j:j:j. Was a bit odd as we were both on the same site with identical holidays but mine was £200 cheaper . We fly out on his 40th birthday so very expensive pressie

I want to get of the merry go round now! I'm starting to feel a bit sick.

Just popping in to say hello - have been so busy making stuff and worrying about how unprepared I am for Christmas that I've not had time to pop by for a while!

All Christmas cards now completed so my list for completion is now

3 shadow frames,
2 personalised clocks
1 and a half door hangers
3 coaster calendars

Oh and I suppose I should probably finish off Christmas shopping and buy a Christmas tree soon too.

Yikes!

:j Congrats on your blog candy wins Padster & Gemma.

Still haven't finished everything yet for Christmas but I did go out and buy all the making of a decent trifle just in case we don't fly out. Our friends will be here soon to dog/house sit for us, they were hoping for a nice and quiet Christmas, oh dear! Still, just waiting to hear from BA.
