Thanks for the link to activity village pages- think it was nickybo? Sorry if I'm mistaken!
And also thanks to nickybo for advice on how to add signature- as you can see it's done, ebay going well, need to get a move on with dooyoo!

You're welcome
Activity Village is great for quick and easy crafts to do with kids, I use it all the time at school, mainly for Golden Time and Craft club ideas.

Made a valentines card, my OH likes ducks . see it here.

Also I`ve been on www.vistaprint.biz/save

and if you scan the left hand side you can get free things,

I got a personalised pen with car and name on, (free):j
a tshirt with same name and car on (free):rotfl:got to be white though
and a cotton bag with horse and friends name on:T

you have to have the things they say are free and if you try to customise anything, eg different colour t-shirt or something on back they charge you more.:eek:

when you select postage pick 21 days its £3.odd
and I paid by paypal.

This is my 2nd order, 2 weeks ago, I had a personalised mug, a personalised pen, and a name and address stamp.

I got the car things, because they`re to add to Top Gear hampers

Love your cards susan they are really fab!!!

And Thanks for the Vista print link, just had a look on topcashback

http://www.topcashback.co.uk/retailerdetailVistaprint.htm

they are offering £2.50 cash back if you order through them on a free order and you can do it once a month, so will be putting a few orders in there for a few pressies. Thanks hunxx

Morning Everyone

Hope everyone is having a good week, managed to get a few jobs done yesterday and a bit of shopping, went to the new pound shop up in oldham and got some lovely bits, and managed to get some really nice wooden pencils with hearts stamped into them pk of 25 for £1 will use them with DS2 for bevers, thought we could use blue pipe cleaners and pop a heart on the top that says "I Love Beavers" then going to do the playdough hearts in a bag too got everything else in that I need for these so 13 pressies for £1 :j:j
Also got 2 bags of 12 mini gift bags, 1 boys and 1 girls a £1 each so that should keep me going for a few years lol:rotfl:

Mt heart breaks for you sukysue, i know how that feels.

Thank you sarah191979 for comments about my cards.

Mary op, the vista site can be hard work but once you get the hang of it, its great, i usually order 3 things at once, dont know if you can order anymore,

Thanks elysia, i didnt think of doing cashback, perhaps it`ll lower postage for me..:j

Hi, I've just visited the Vistaprint site via quidco and should earn £6.50 for registering as a new customer - have ordered a mug and pen for my sister.

Thanks again Mum2one for the Santa challenges - I tackled the fridge/freezer yesterday and got rid of loads of science projects and out of date stuff - I found some things in the freezer from 2007! I don't have a frost-free freezer, so just had to hack some of the ice away as didn't have time for a full defrost - still the door closes properly now without having to shut one of the drawers a certain way to let it close (due to ice being stuck at the back!) :rotfl:

DD1 is off sick so probably won't get much done today other than making sure the bedding gets dry in case she has another episode or one of the others starts!

Hope everybody is having a great day.

Well just checked in on Santa's Challenge. I've done all I can with presents so far. I have a spare gift. I have loads (not 800) of cards.

I have had a good sort of my cupboard so feeling virtuous.

I need todo the valentine challenge, and then the pamper part of the challenge this month
