Hello all :j
Another lovely day but just a bit too hot for me to sit in the garden...........so out came the scrapbook to do a bit more..........couple of phone calls (quite lengthy) so didn't get very far.
Had minor panic when I realised how much I've still got left to do/make..........specs cases, button necklaces, sort out some more freebies for a 'pamper pot', 2 pairs of gloves I want to decorate with some felt things I've got.............oh lor.....wearing myself out thinking about it...........lol:rotfl:
Now OH has just told me about a new charity shop in town :eek: I'm getting that 'retail therapy' feeling...................lol:rotfl:

Hi all

Mary, I don't think there can ever be enough charity shops to feed the inner thrifty crafter

Angela - I just know I'll have to go and pay it a visit...........I'll not be able to help myself but I really must stop buying stuff that ends up going back there..................lol:rotfl:

I was so impressed, made dd wait to 10pm last night, only so could open them in comfort in the frontroom, as Bailey had gone walkies, wow was not the word, we paid £9.00, the retail prices all together came £110.

We've kept 12 of the things for dd, 10 of the other items have gone up for presents, so weird, one bag had got a beaded necklace, one of the others had the matching earrings, think I'll be starting 2011 xmas prezzies at this rate!!

The last 8 we've put up for car boot, including a pink feather boa with £10 price tag...... dd wanted it, Bailey wanted it...... the damm feathers were going everywhere.....

Very exicting won a game on the bingo last night, the whole sum of £20. thats gone off the dog pic for mum.

That reminds me, check your email inbox as had one off halfcost saying free postage when you spend £10 or more.

Elysia what candle sets did you get

elysia2003

I bought them on special offer off QVC. They were little tart burners, in a set of three, all individually boxed. They have some similar ones on the site if you'd like to have a look - I couldn't choose they were all so pretty.


Posted on the grabbit not long ago (just ordered mine)
Father's day photo cards from www.bonusprint.co.uk free (only pay 50p p+p)

Just make sure you select the A5 size. You can do more than one but must do them separately. The code to be put in the promotion box is: MIRRORFDTEN

Hello all :j
Dreadful thunderstorm last night but I slept right through it thankfully............I hate them.
Not done much today -again !! One more page done for scrapbook no.2 -would have done more but printer seems to have run out of ink -again !!! Think it'll be cheaper to go to the photocopy shop and get done what I want.........oh eck.......still got to buy ink to type out little bits to go with the piccys..........why didn't I do two of everything when I was doing the first one...........so cross with myself:eek:
So, gave up on that and got the little notebooks out I got from 98p shop in Torquay -5 of them- covered them to match the pens I'd had as freebies and already covered............so thats a few more little pressies to fill a box.............:j

Tomorrow I must get grandsons birthday card done -his birthdays on 12th so I'm having a bit of a panic..........:eek: and really want to go to new charity shop...............oh lor.............not enough hours in a day
