jammy - thinking I might come to join you - as been reading a book by Ali Edwards and really fancy scrapbooking - but I have absolutely no idea where to start - will you be able to help an absolute beginner???

We may be able to save your soul....yes I think so :j:rotfl:

The PDF that you can download from my blog gives my personal opinion on where to start/my experience. That isn't to say its the right one!

Can i just add my huge Thanks for everyones friendship this year ....

Girls Thank You for your cards, ive been a naughty Choccy and not got round to posting my Thanks each day, But i have all my special cards on the wall and have photographed them. ( I will blog for the month of December) Better late than never ( right ? )

Can i also say a huge Thanks to CT1972 for the most fantastic CP santa gift exchange. I do hope that you loved yours as much as i love mine ? Cant wait to get Stamping with Tilda

The run up to Christmas here was eventful to say the least. Found out a dear friends mum has the nasty 'c' word and has been given only weeks. so not only was i behind on my scedule. I offered to help with some of hers also. Then on Monday my little 2 and then me was struck by a 24 hour sickness bug.... So if i start now ... I will be ready for Christmas 2010 :rotfl:. On the upside we all were better for Santa coming

Rusty I'm about to send you a PM. How big of Missymoo to give Santa her dodis !! Hope she is being a big girl still ..... bless her and Thankyou so much for my gift... I cant wait to get my ink and block out again. Its only been 3 days and i feel lost already LOL

Jammy Missing catching up. Hope i manage to catch up soon.

Last and by no means least.. Can i say a really big Thankyou to Sylphraven and Furrypig. We have been doing a totally fantastic advent swap and i just wanted to thank them both here for the fab and thoughtful gifts and craftybits. Its been a HUGE pleasure xx

Well i hope everyone has had a super Christmas, heres to a creative and crafty 2010 :beer:

Snow just about gone here and we are having a quiet day recovering. Just watching Take That - what an amazing show!

Flourgirl - sorry to hear about your Dad - hope he soon feels much better. Not sure what day you go away but when you go hope you have a really fabulous time!

Mary op - glad your taps sorted now

My nephew has been in hospital all over the holiday with Asthma, with a bit of luck he'll be home tomorrow so they can celebrate their Christmas then. They aren't having a good time at the moment his sister's cat has gone missing just to add to their woes.

Rusty - hope little one is managing well without her dummies.

flourgirl

Thanks Marg. we go about 5am Wednesday morning flying at 9-10 from East Mids. come back friday night. Sorry about your nephew, I hope he still feels like celebrating Christmas once hes home and I do hope the cat turns up, someone is probably feeding it left over turkey.

Hello ladies, I hope you're all still enjoying your Christmas break.

Rusty - glad to hear Santa swapped the dummies for such a nice present for Maddison. I hope she is still a happy bunny without them.

I haven't got any news as our Christmas was very quiet, OH has to be careful about infection since his stem cell transplant so we had to cancel Christmas dinner with the family as GD has a cold. So we've not seen anyone or been anywhere but it's been nice and relaxing.

I've been busy finishing (almost) my house renovation blog so today I started my card making blog and have just put the Christmas cards I made this year on so far. I'm not very clever with the computer so don't know how to make it pretty or fancy so it's not up to the standard of everyone else's blogs, but at least I can do the basics!
