Oh wow!! I have to get that! Thank you

I bought a forever friends kit from Argos a few months ago, that was £19.99 but had three wooden stamps and pens, card blanks, etc, so it was worth it.

theres the link. No stamps Some stickers, though. Hmm, I might go in to look at it, I can't decide if its worth the money...I do love me to you, though!

I love tatty ted too, I do wish they would make some stamps though!

I've made sure the kids have their settings set to private so no one but their friends can read anything about them.

You might be right Melissa, I wouldn't be surprised if he did disappear again!

Evening everyone

Sally I was sorry to read your posts. Just to say what others have said - keep records of everything. Sending loads of hugs to you and your kids.

Crafting wise - today has been a steep learning curve. I had my first go with Twinkling H2Os today - let's just say they are not as easy as promarkers . So to cheer myself up, I made a lovely card using my promarkers. I've just added some stickles as the finishing touch and the beggar has bled :mad:. Note to self, digi images and stickles do not go.

Am off to have a look at everyone's blogs.

Take care all, Thriftyxxx

Your cabinet looks fab Gemm - well done for getting it for free.

Sorry to hear about your problems Sally, hope everything manages to sort itself out.

Great cards CGCockCroft - love the one with the Anya image.

Mel - congratulations on your win.

Oh no Skiergirl, hope you are able to go to the NEC, now you have your ticket. I'm really hoping to make it, but it depends on whether I can get the time of work, now that they have just swapped my days off from a friday to a monday .

After Rainmacs bargain on a lemon squeezer the other day, I think I got an equally good bargain yesterday form our little haberdashery shop, run by some lovely older ladies. I popped in to get a load of ribbon, and wanted to improve my stash of buttons, as I really don't have that much of a variety. I was looking to buy some singularly, but happened to look down on one of the shelfs and found a smallish box of a mixed variety that said 50p the lot. Being one for a bargain I bought them. When I got them home I sorted them out into colours and there were 232 . I then went to Makro and they were selling of some crafting bits cheap, and so I picked up a fiskars boarder punch daisy for £5.74. I was really happy as I have been looking for a boarder punch for ages, but didn't want to pay the proper price for one.

Made a couple of cards today, but can't blog them until later in the week.

I lurve 24 - the world is a much safer place with Jack Bauer in it. I have to record it and then watch it tho because
a_ I can't stand adverts
b) Sometimes I have to take a 5 min breather - I'm not very good at tension. I think I spent most of season 2 on bbc2 from ehind a cushion watching from the kitchen door so that I could hide in the kitchen if it all got too much. Thank heavens for the v+ box.
