Morning everyone! I'm baby free today so Im crafting like crazy as it only happens once in a blue moon lol Though before I start making I need to invest in some brads no idea where from Ebay seems good at the moment I need to get about 300 for wedding invites! and I only have £5 left from the invite budget eek!

Lou05 Beautiful writing n your cards, which machine do you have ? Appologies if i am assuming its a machine and it isnt

If i can do a blog anyone can

Go to blogger.com
Sign up to do a blog
Pick blog name
pick a basic background
Blog away

Thats what i did anyway then added more complicated stuff as i went along

I'll give a go setting one up after we've been doctors today.
I have a cricut, only got it at the begining of the month and not realy used it much yet TBH. If you like I can cut you some out and post them to you?

Lou, the thank you stamp is an Inkadinkado stamp, I got mine from ebay from a seller called Kelly's stamps and I think Simon Says Stamp also carries it. Inkadinkadoo stamps usually make good impressions. SSS is a well respected company with blog candy appearing from them on different blogs even their own. Check them out, I can recommend them as I won some blog candy last year from them.

Here's one, it's in the US but the seller has good feedback.

Here I am again, apologising for being so behind, so much going on here at the moment I haven't been able to keep up properly. Still got concerns over my mom, the hospital want to discharge her as she is bed blocking now she doesn't need medical care, but her mental state is such that she can't go home. I live 3.5 hours' drive away so my brother is having to sort everything out as I can't get there with my OH not able to travel at the moment whilst recovering from his recent treatment. The hospital is trying to organise some temporary accommodation in a care unit in the hope that she may be able to go home at some stage in the future with home care. Poor mom would be mortified if she knew what she was doing/saying at the moment - we're not sure if this is dementia or the result of a recent infection/treatment, the hospital apparently doesn't answer my bro's questions.

So without going back over all the pages, I love the pink cabinet - well done, and hugs to the poorly people. I've managed to catch up with a few blogs and left comments, sorry if I've not managed everyone's.

I've updated my blog with a couple of cards, and I desperately need to get cracking on my DD's special card for her birthday next month, at least I've made a bit of a start on her Surviving 40 kit!

Ooh Toms mum - can I be cheeky and ask what you will put in the survival kit??

Hello everyone, I want to say a HUGE thank you to Ali for the gorgeous dinosaur stamped images she sent me, have made a card already with them, it's on my blog.

Flourgirl, thinking of your dad and you xx

Sal, thinking of you and your OH today xx

Tomsmum, never apologise for not reading everything, I think we all struggle keeping up with what's going on all the time. My nan is 87 today and is staying with my mum and dad this week then going home to Norwich, 100 miles away. She is so frail and forgetful now we are all so worried as she lives on her own in a sheltered accommodation flat but never asks for help with anything. She does have some nice friends and a few family members live nearby but my mum would love for her to come live with my mum & dad permenently or at least move to live in the same town but she won't.

Could you use card candy or snaps instead of brads? If you just want plain brads your best bet is probably looking for a job lot on eBay! x

After weeks of nothing happening my Gran was suddenly moved to Southampton yesterday with her operation scheduled today. She's in a right panic and really scared now though because they've changed which doctor is doing it (she's never heard of him or met him and we can't find any information about him online). At the moment we're fighting with the hospital to get the operation done by the doctor they said would do it because she's private and so distressed about it. x

Afternoon everyone, hope everyone is ok?

Sal - Love the card, and both cakes are beautiful! How is your OH?

THE-WIFE - Thanks for the valentine freebie!! .... Did you find your thankyou stamp? Do you have the other 2 in the same style? are they worth getting? I have the hello and the thankyou and I love them both but not sure if I should buy the others without seeing something done with them if that makes sense? Are you feeling any better?
