Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

louby-lou-lou

is it the max paper craft show in doncaster? i went last year and it was good. I got some good bargains. Can't go tomorrow. Rusty you should put another pic of you on your diet blog so we can see the difference. Saying that, i am not that brave i have took a before pic but won't be putting it on my blog untill i also have an after pic. I am not enjoying many of the flavours so far i really want to make a go of this but don't know how long i will last. I have no will power at all and being a chef it's a nightmare not being able to cook.

Hi all, long time lurker but newbie poster to the forum, here.

My name is Jo and I live in Derby {originally from Leeds} with my OH and our son.

I have been cardmaking a good few years now, mainly to give to family & friends but I am in the process of setting up a website to sell my cards and other papercrafts for charity

Anyhow, as soon as I am able to, I will post a pic or two of my cards

Bizarre question - I know some of you do your food shopping online - how do you find it? I'm quite a fussy b****r when it comes to picking meat and that's what's put me off up until now but I feel like being lazy and I absolutely hate food shopping - life is too short to trawl round Mr Ts fighting with OH and a trolley!

PepPop Mr T delivers to me every week all the stuff you buy regularly and I just go for the bits I'm picky about in our local Morrisons. I loathe supermarket shopping and if I don't have it delivered it's a 40mile round trip to do it. Mr T delivers mid-week when its cheap and it suits me. I have to do the shopping for work twice a week, milk, teabags etc and get what I need at the same time. I hate shopping except at The Range and craft shops. (Now a self imposed ban)

Gemm I'm so pleased you've got the result you wanted and if you're not feeling up to going into work during the redundancy waiting time, take the time off, I don't think there is anything your company can do about it especially if you have your end date in writing, that is critical, if your doctor signs you off, end of story! PM me if you need help.

craftygranny just let me know what I can do.

Rusty, Ta! for the banner, will put that in my bit at the bottom.

Hassy I saw that demo, I love that American woman from Creative Expressions, she has some really original ideas.

Pep pop sorry i missed you off the list but i couldn't find your blog under your name so could you pm me your blog addy please and i'll add it .

Alicia is not really any different today. Hopefully it's nothing but we always worry that it means the tumour is growing again as they tell you to look for anything different or unusual and she'd never mentioned it until recently.

Rusty hope maddison is feeling much much better today.

Hope you all have a fab time at the show at the racecourse.

Gemm fab news about work and i hope you can manage until at least sept.

PepPop

Giggle Are these any use? Red - strawberry, raspberry, cranberry, Orange - orange (sorry for stating the obvious with that one), satsuma, mango etc, Yellow, lemon, mellon, banana, Green - kiwi, gooseberry, Blue - blueberry, blackberry, Lilac, - Blackberry (?), Cream - coconut, vanilla.

Soulie Hello

Have a great weekend away Skiergirl

Wifey I've been brave and done it - my shopping is being delivered tomorrow - a bit dearer but if I didn't arrange it that way I would need to do it myself. (Even remember to use a voucher code - very MSE ) so I'll see how it goes but so far so good. shopping whilst sitting with my feet up, a coffee and a slice of Chocolate cake - bliss

Craftygranny I'll PM you in a minute and then check my name thing - I thought it was there?? I hope Alicia is ok - got everything crossed for you that's it's nothing unusual.
