I can't seem to work out how to put a pic on my posts, but this is the link to the card section of my side. Please excuse the cards being so basic, but I've only just started making cards xxx

oap,ct & jessica - you have all made lovely cards (hope I havent missed anybody off!)
sunrise - your easel card is lovely can I ask what you used to stick your knitting on the card?
Ikki - glad your fundraising is going ok.
dtb - sounds like you are having a nightmare at the moment ((hugs)) - hope you get things sorted quickly!!
sally - well done for confronting your son, rather than stewing on it and getting crosser and more upset. Hopefully the girl you have spoken to can help him come out of his shell a bit and introduce him to a few people - fingers crossed for you.

Cant believe how many pages pop up over night - its so busy at the moment - keep getting lost - lol. x

I just used hobbycrafts tacky glue
seems to have held it on there ok

If you look here you can get 50 gatefold card and envelopes for £8.00 i dont know if thats a good price as i dont buy them but i do use this website all the time

http://www.pdacardandcraft.co.uk/merchant.ihtml?step=4&lastcatid=21&pid=209

If you do get them from there cheek out the special offers Free offer 22 ( if you spend over £5.00) you can have a pack of 5 lottery wallets i might have to do an order myself just for them lol

What day is everyone going to the NEC as im going this time might get to see some of you

Giggle - Thankyou for this - they are a fab price!!! Just waiting to hear if she wants white or cream before I order!! and at the risk of sounding like a numpty (which I am !) what is a pack of lottery wallets for?

Flourgirl - oooh I can only dream of living anyway near a Range!!! that sounds like a pretty good price - not sure how many metres I'll need for 75 cards!!! Will keep hunting!!

Rainmac - thanks but I think I'll buy pre-folded cards as there are quite a few to do!! If I get them from Giggle's link they work out at 16p each and that includes the envelope so I think thats pretty good really!! Thanks for the tip though!

glad to report I made it home safely! the rest of the day has been uneventful thank goodness!! at least its friday tomorrow!

flourgirl - thanks for the freebie valentines link, I made a few the other day and was running out of variety

rusty, a bit belated but just wanted to say your colouring looks great, I think the one where they have the same colour brown coat looks the best!

jessica - good luck with the desk shopping, when you have all your crafty stuff set up post a pic so we can have a lookie

rainmac - sounds like you had a good trip to IKEA, we always come away with more than we intended to buy but we just think 'well when's the next time we'll be here....hmm better buy it now'! lol

I am doing a prawn and veg stir fry with lemon flavouring and noodles tonight, I was going to just do sausage sandwiches but after my carp day I thought we deserved something nice for dinner!

will comment on blogs a bit later on xx

oh thanks hunni - doh!! of course they are!! Just couldn't think why anyone would want to put their lottery ticket in a wallet!!!

Glad you got home safe!!

I'm not feeling tooo calm myself :mad: actually got steam coming out of my ears after a meeting at the bank!!!! Well they'll be losing our custom just as soon as I can get another bank account set up elsewhere!!!! IdIOTS!!!

Giggle

ooh I hate banks, they think they can treat you like dirt! If I didnt have to use a bank I'd just keep my savings under the mattress. mind you then i'd probably spend it all on craft stuff instead of the mortgage :rotfl:

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I MUST NOT spend any more money on craft stuff till I've finished re-organising what I've got so I know what I've got - thing is it is soooo addictive and I seem to place orders without even knowing I've done it!!! Stuff just keeps turning up & I look at the delivery person as if to say 'I haven't ordered anything' and then when I open the box it all comes flooding back... 'oh yes I did'!!! I do wish Sizzix would stop sending me emails about items in their sale!!!! I'm awaiting another order from them but don't know what i ordered cos I was asleep when I placed the order!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Silly me I thought banks were there to help you with your banking needs... NOT SO!!!!! So even tho my hubby has banked with them for 30 years they were no help whatsoever and therefore we will be changing banks - CRAZEEEEEE!!
