Hi
happy birthday to people I missed over the weekend, Congrats to Rainmac and Dragonllew on their wins. I went to a wedding over the weekend and have just posted the card on my blog. Will be posting some blog candy this week as I have just gotten over 1,000 hits

quick delivery for everything and good prices including promarkers is Joannasheen.com

artydoll

Craft Obsessions also has a free postage offer on - again until midnight Monday just spend over £10. Enter the code FREEBIE at checkout. They are also selling promarkers for £1.53 each although they haven't got the whole range in stock.

Just ordered some promarkers from here very reasonable ,thanks for the tip on free postage.

So glad you had a great birthday OAP – what a fab selection of cards.

Welcome home the Wife and Lizalloareds.

Congratulations on your win Rainmac.

Have a fabulous holiday in Florida CGCockcroft – wish I was being stowed in your cases.

CraftyJuJu – hope your boiler is now all sorted and you get some time to craft soon.

Thanks to everyone for all the freebie digi images lately, they are boosting my collection.

Giggle – hope the craft fair yesterday was really successful for you.

Welcome to the thread Nunnygirl.

Great shop Artydoll – wish I could find bargains like that.

Beautiful cards elysia2003 – love the images and the papers and layouts you have used.

Soma – fabulous wedding card on your blog.

I managed to find the field to drop Harry off at scout camp yesterday, and ended up staying until mid afternoon helping set up activities, and digging a hole for the toilet waste. Harry was very tearful, and didn’t want to stay, but I managed to convince him to try it for a few days to see how things go. I am sure when he settles in, he will have a fab time. Haven’t had a call yet to go and get him so that is good news, but I promised to go down there first thing on Saturday, to help them pack the camp up ready to come home.

Wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who has commented on the card that Jack made that I blogged last night – he is so happy with the fab comments you have put on my blog, and the fact that you all like the card. He had the biggest smile on his face earlier when I read them out to him. Mary, I posted the cards out to you today, so hopefully you will get them tomorrow.

I must be sickening for something – or the thought of a stash ban has finally reached my brain, because I popped into Hobbycraft yesterday, and another craft shop today, and walked out of both without buying anything.

Dragonllew – we are coming camping down your way next week for 5 days are there any good crafty shops around. We are staying on the outskirts of Poole, but will be coming down into Bournemouth at least one day. Thanks.

I wish I could tell you yes but we have a Range, Dulem Mill and Hobbycraft, in Poole town centre there is a shop called the Market Gallery which has quite a bit of craft stuff can be good for a mooch around its under the car park for the dolphin centre., Craft superstore is local you can't go and look around but can pick up orders to save on postage thats about it.

Crafty Juju you asked on my blog where the digi image of the 2 turtles came from it was a frebie from pollycraft for making a card with another freebie don't know if you can buy it.

Had some good news at work today I have been promoted to Admin Supervisor only downside is that I will have to work 5 days instead of 4 but for only 3 hrs a day instead of 4hrs.

Well done on the promotion, dragonllew. Welcome, nunnygirl, this is a smashing bunch of people who will always find time to help you find what you're looking for.

Thank you so much, I will look them up and see if I can convince my OH that I need to visit the Range and Dulem Mill, as we don't have these shops anywhere near us.

Congratulations on your pomotion - you will still have lots of time to craft

My beautiful GD's had great fun making their door hangers at the weekend, does any helpful person know of any 'anything but a card' challenges going on. I'd love to enter them in one.

I found this cute freebie here http://inktegrity.blogspot.com/2010/07/hey-chick.html

Evening all. It's disgustingly hot and humid here. DH & DS have been on a who do you think you are course all day, so DD & I took my grandparents out for lunch then went shopping. Unfortunately, we ended up in British Bookshops and they had a mega sale on - so my stash diet is over before it started!!! However, I can kinda justfy it as I got a Crop-a-Dile Bigbite and a Crop-a-Dile Corner Chomper for £20.39 for the two, so a complete bargain. I also got the 8x8 whitewash core-dinations cardstock for £1.99 and a pack of Anita's Mirri Card for £1.49. I am definately not looking at any links or in anymore craft shops for a little while as I think I've probably spent the next two months stash budget!

Congratulations on your win Rainmac

The-Wife - Congratulations on your promotion and glad you had a nice weekend. I'm curious (well nosy actually) as to what you got in your image and sentiment grab bag from sweetpea stamps - I've ordered another two from them and am hoping that I get some different stamps this time.

CGCockcroft - Have a fabby holiday, is it two more sleeps before you go??

I'm sure there was someone else, so if I've missed you please don't take offence, it's just my rubbish memory! x
