PepPop

Rainmac hugs to your little ones. Hope they're feeling better soon.

craftygranny WOW and again WOW

flourgirl thanks for the freebies.

dragonllew Love your card, perfect for a teenager. Although the way my OH is glued to his PS3 I might do one for him (although it means I can craft in peace so it's not such a bad thing )

I've still not made my mum's birthday card - I really need to get my finger out cos there's that one, my mum & dad's anniversary card, OH birthday card and valentine card to make. Must get organised...

PepPop, you'll probably find that once you get cracking with your first card, the rest will come together quicker x

Just placed another sneeky order , this time at Quixotic Paperie, some fab stuff there and postage is cheap. Choccy, please order the elves out of my house NOW, my OH is going to go BOOM at me

I recieved my free book :j it isn't that bad actually and has techniques of how to do things! I ordered simply beautiful rubber stamping!! My other one I am having problems with! :mad:

Rainmac sorry to hear about the boys! Hope they are on the mend really fast and not in too much pain!! (I hope you put in a complaint as it was supposed to be just a virus :mad:)

Peppop - Come on get cracking mrs! :j

I have just made 1 of 2 cards for MIL, OH wants DS to make his own which hopefully he will tonight!! anyway it is on my blog!

Marg - Wow that Kanban kit you sent me was fabulous!! so easy and looks really classy!! just finished making the card, will post pics on blog later on, just having a cuppa with my little missy then off to pick up DS!! Thankyou so much xx


Choccy - Did your pens arrive??

Has anyone heard from Saveapenny? not seen her on here for ages!! saw her post once on facebook but that is it? does anyone know if she is ok?

Rainmac - big hugs for your littlies, my ds was always troubled by his ears when he was little and used to live on that yellow antibiotic liquid (can't remember what it was called now :rolleyes:)

Craftygranny - omg!!!!

Rusty - just love the MS loop punch on your card :j

Mary - thinking of you and Mr Mary today.

Well I finally finished my distressed card and I have entered it into the Sugar Nellie challenge. It's here on my blog .

Okay choices, choices - do I peel the spuds for tea and do some ironing or do I craft???? Think I need to phone-a-friend......

Hugs, Thriftyxxx

Flourgirl It's definately not a shop although i think there may well be as much stuff. oops now do you see why i needed the 12 x 12 storage .
I blame my children when they are out and about they spot things i'd like and buy them for me . I taught them that this is a good thing pmsl.
As for rehoming it well i think i will give some as blog candy when i finish sorting and the rest i'll offer over on crafty place. I have to make room for a few new goodies. lol. I have my eye on the honey and hugs i think it's called.

Your distressed card is fab. Love the way you layered the paper. If you're asking the audience I vote

CRAFT

Rainmac I really feel for your little ones anything to do with ears is really painful. Hopefully now they are leaking they'll heal quicker.

Carly got a call from the hospital today her first implant will be switched on on the 15th feb and the second one on the 16th feb so fingers crossed they work.

Well on the craft room front i have emptied 5 large house moving boxes so far and still have about the same left plus some smaller ones but the shelves are filling up nicely . i have 25 cubes just over 12" square in my new unit hope thats enough space lol. With luck i'll have finished on friday or saturday.

Rusty i still owe you some stash from the nov swap i am very very behind but when i come across stuff i think you might like i'm sticking it on one side. Glad you liked the squares they are fab i love them i buy them in lidl too they get them two or three times a year so i pop in and stock up .

Peel some spuds then craft the ironing will wait. lol

Fantastic news about Carly!! :j :j hope it all works out for her!

I can't believe how much stuff you have!!! ... I think the blog candy is a fab idea!! I am seriously considering putting some more raks up on craftyplace! I need to get rid of some stuff to make room for more lol plus some won't be used as my craft robo has been ordered :eek: OH forgot to tell me until yesterday but it is likely to be next week when it arrives as they have no stock but still took the money :mad:

I had forgotten about the stash swap :eek: thankyou! ... OH spotted them a few weeks ago, then when we went in again they had none, but been in today and they had the same box in the same place?? so I reckon they knew I was coming and hid them from me :rotfl:

Thrifty - Beautiful card!! well worth the (di)stress! as for the options ... crafting has to win hands down over ironing ... as for peeling spuds then I woild suggest do a few then craft as you will be hungry if not :rotfl:

Peppop - looking forward to seeing your creations!

Does anyone know where I can get something like this?

I swear I saw some the other day but I can't remember where...I'm trying to make some layouts for a friend, and if I used those she could put pictures in herself. Tried Ebay, but no luck

The Glitter Pot dispatched my order yesterday, but I didn't get it today, and I had a second dispatch email for the free book after being asked to reorder, chose next day delivery but it's been two days now! Ah well, me and deliveries are rubbish.

Made some cute stamped notelets yesterday, I quite like them. Even got a stamp with my name on Haha.

Can't wait to see today's creations from everyone
