Hello all :j
All behind myself today - just logged on so haven't caught up with all your cards and stuff yet and OH's shouting me for dinner..............lol
Been fairly busy -ish...........covered A5 box file with paper I bought yesterday.........I keep notelets in it that I've made............then attempted to make an envelope for sons birthday card -couldn't find one long enough.......well 2nd attempt and I thought I'd cracked it but now it won't fit in the index card box I'd organised all my cards in......................lol How typical :rotfl:
Hope you're all ok and hugs ((((:o)))) to those who need them

Some fabtastic cards everyone!!!! What a talented bunch you all are!!

Gemma - I did post on your blog but just wanted to say I am still totally GREEN with envy over your GORGEOUS pink filing cabinet - you know how I LOVE pink - and it would look fab in my pink craft room - well if I ever get round to finish sorting it - it seems to be getting worse instead of better - my house is soooo upside down at the moment its not funny!! I keep getting in a tizz & saying to my OH where oh where do I begin!!! I MUST stop ordering things when I can't sleep at night though cos things keep getting delivered almost on a daily basis & I'm now swamped by big brown boxes!!! So as fast as I sort & clear another pile appears!!!!
:eek::eek::eek:

Feeling quite chuffed with myself today as I've just been over to see my friend who wanted the wedding invites and took a 'mock up' of the design I came up with and they loved them!! Sooo pleased - just need to make them now!! Luckily they're quite simple and my OH has said he'll help if I need him to so will get him to do the cuttlebugging cos I'm really not up to cutting out 75 labels with how my Fibro is at the moment!! I'm thinking more and more I need an electronic die cutting machine so Flourgirl & Rusty I will be paying lots of attention to how you get on with yours!

I haven't booked my NEC ticket yet - really want to do it but I'm a bit numpty headed at the moment and not too sure how to book it via Tesco (Hels did mine last time for me!) - Furrypig please come!!!

anyway off to clear up a bit and make dinner - laters peeps!!

Oh also mean't to say that I received my GORGEOUS drawing today from Little Musings I LOVE IT & will post picture later - have a look at what she does, she's sooo talented!!!

Popkins if you type in to Google--NEC Hobbycrafts Show tickets from Tesco Clubcard It will come up with the correct page at the top click on that then all you have to do is sign in and follow the instructions. You will need a £2.50 coupon cos you need the code from it. Cant open the page for you as it comes up with my details. Mine took about a week to arrive. HTH

Made another challenge card last night and put it on my blog this afternoon.

Popkins - those Little Musings are gorgeous! I've just spent an hour going through photos to send her! Have you seen the mugs for Valentines? Congrats on the wedding invitations - are you going to share with us? A friend at work has asked me to do 100:eek: - have no idea what she wants at the moment though. I sent the images on Friday - hope you got them in time. I sent something to Rainmac last week that hasn't turned up at all yet.

I'm off on a wee blog hop now - may make it back later!

I'm waiting for an order from craftwork cards too - what are they playing at!?! In fact, I've just checked and my order has completely disappeared from my page. Better ring them in the morning - I NEED that tea stamp!

Have you seen this? What a lovely back to school gift

Wanted to saya public huge thanks to CT19720 for the lovely stash she sent to "&son" to say well done for his card making exploits. He's really really pleased and I'm so touched by the generosity of you guys! He's posted a piccie over on his blog. It does make me chuckle that my little man is sat there in his rugby kit cooing over paper, brads and stickers like a girl!

I've been a bit under the weather and have had a funny sore throat since last Thursday. Yesterday I felt queasy all day and couldn't even face a cup of tea. To give you an idea of how serious that is - when I told my Mum that she said I should leave work and go straight to bed - it's vierually unheard of.
Today I've been generally tired but have had an onset of pain in my left shoulder. It's clicking a bit and Mum says one of my bones seems to be sticking out more than it does on the other side. I've also had pain in my left side and left ear earache - I think I'll got to see the doc in the morning.
In the meantime - I've blogged a card I sent to the lovely magpye on the crochet thread
