I have just put something on my blog but im not happy with it at all

The box is beautiful, but I think something like a couple of batteries may look better in a cello bag with a topper on it maybe? think the batteries look a little lost in the box? Maybe the topper with merry christmas on the front, then batteries not included on the back? looks lovely though

Rusty - 1) Red 2) Green 3) Purple - .......that concludes the voting for the West Coast jury.:) They are all brill but those are my favourites in order.

Tomsmum - 'IF' we had sunshine or warmth I'd share it with you but sadly looks like we're sharing the rain instead.

Thankyou

I know it is kind to share and all that ... but did you have to share the rain with me :mad: :rotfl:

:hello: just saying hi! I am quite excited as we have booked a holiday :j and I need to let out some of my excitement lol :rotfl: going to Vegas and LA later this year, so excited I can hardly sleep! it definitely puts all the horribleness at work in perspective having something lovely to look forward to!

I am looking forward to Friday as well, as we are going to Ironbridge to visit the Victorian town working museum! I love historical things so can't wait for that either. I feel like i've got ants in my pants this week LD

PONR - whereabouts in california do you go to visit your OH?

just booked another craft fair for the bank holiday monday at the end of august, hopefully it will be quite busy!

gonna try and make some cards tonight!

hope everyones well, sending lots of hugs out (((:))))

Gemm - it is in a place called Fremont closer to San Francisco and San Jose. Still not sure if I am going to go yet though.

LA and Vegas sound great, you will have alot of fun!!

yes we are flying to LA, driving straight to Vegas, spending 5 nights there before driving back to LA then staying there for 2 nights before flying home! we are staying at New York New York in Vegas and a Hilton in LA.

saving up my shopping money already, going to see how long my stash diet lasts! will be a bit silly to buy craft stuff at UK prices when I can have my fill at US prices soon I will be getting some Fimo to make my own beads! lol

Gemm - I stayed at New York New York last November - we loved it!! Nice big casino and you can walk right up the strip from there. We got a room upgrade and the room was massive!! They said the later you check in the more chance you will get upgraded!!!!! I think if you look on FB on my photos there are some photos of the hotel and Vegas!

Whoops - I lied - there are no photos but I will find some and post them on FB!!!!!

I think rain is forecast for friday too, but I hope they have that wrong as we are taking DD and her friends to Wickstead for her birthday treat. There will be my sister and I and 8 kids, luckily 2 are a bit older though. Thank you Mr Tesco! It makes birthday treats so much cheaper!

I'm going to be nosey, where do you live? Wickstead isn't far from me
