RustyFlange

Wow!! All the preparation and sleepless nights trying to get things done, and now it has gone for another year!! :rotfl:

Hope you lovely ladies had a fantastic christmas and had lots of lovely presents!!

Just wanted to update, Santa took Maddison's dummies and swapped them for a peppa pig scooter!! her face was a picture bless her!! she slept last night without one aswell :j :j tonight will be hard I think as she has had a easy day today which means come bed time she will still have energy!!

My OH is so lovely, he bought me a 12x12 storage box (papermania one I think?) but it all clips together which is fab!! I also had DCVW papers, my xcut trimmer and lots of other lovely crafty stuff aswell as loads of other pressies from him!!!

Rainmac - Did you open your pressie from me

Rainmac thanks for the link I will have a look in a minute. Hope you had a fab day yesterday and got lots of lovely things.

Rusty Well done to Maddison for sleeping without a dummy last night I hope it continues for you. Sounds like your DH has bought you some fab stuff. I would love some 12 x 12 storage boxes. My DH got me some gorgeous gold earrings. Just before Christmas we were looking at the quickutz Sillouhette and he was very impressed but to be honest would I use it enough to justify spending that amount of money. The trouble is he now thinks nesties are a waste of money Think I might have shot myself in the foot lol.

Hi there! I am new to this forum! I'm looking forward to searching through in the holidays!! I started crafting a couple of years ago when I was in hospital for a big op. I love making cards, notebooks and brooches. I try to create my own card designs but have recently invested in a cuttlebug which I enjoy using!! Looking forward to sharing ideas and projects!! :-)

flourgirl/rainmac - thanks for the links.
Rusty - good luck for tonight and the no dummies - fingers crossed for you!!
smiley - hello - ooh looking forward to seeing your makes!!

Well had a lovely day yesterday - kids totally enjoyed it - and as Tom said he got everything he wanted and some things he didnt know he wanted !!! As for me my lovely hubby got me a Sizzix Big Shot - had been umming and aahing for ages about this or a cuttlebug and never making a decision - so he made the decision for me and totally surprised me - yay!! Just got to learn how to use the thing now - gulp its still in its packaging and I just keep looking at it!!!

Hello all:j Hope you all had a good christmas..........we had a lovely day with foster daughter and her OH.........some super pressies..........OH has bought me a complete scrapbook set from local craft shop..........K & Co..............it's lovely..........so now I can do family scrapbooks for all next year.....:j
Need to go to some 'cropping' sessions at the craft shop to make sure I don't make a pigs ear of it all.........:rotfl:
Currently waiting for emergency plumber...........pipe under the sink dripping merrily away...............:eek: Plumber should have been here earlier but had another job to go to far more urgent than ours -so far about 2 hours plus behind schedule...........:rolleyes: Oh well, he'll get here. I'm claiming through homeserve insurance so he has to arrive as they sent him.........be worth the wait not to go to bed worrying we'll have a flooded kitchen tomorrow morning...........:eek:





























































































































Hugs to all who need them. ((((((((((:o)))))))))))
