Hello, I haven`t posted in ages and find it hard to keep up on the thread....
I`ve made my first batch of easel christmas cards using the new Percy and Penelope papers and I`m really pleased with them. They are posted over on my blog if anyone fancies a look.
I`ll try and keep up with the thread and post more. I seem to be building up a stock of goodies but not using them. So many ideas... so little time!

Wifey You've gave me an idea for another cunning plan.... What if we set up a photobucket album that only we had the password to and we could all add images, BG papers, etc to it and use it as a giant craft database (Rusty if this is stepping on your toes with your idea please feel free to tell me to shut up at this point - but I was assuming you were talking about selling yours to other people) Don't know how that would go for copyright though...

I'll open a thread on CP for anyone that is interested

This is a great idea. I already belong to a group that does this but they are very strict and that's why i haven''t mentioned it before as i am not allowed to share images and i have to submit x amounts of cards per month with the images from the site.

Snap i was going to use it to buy the Sizzix Boutique for someone but i think argos has a good deal

Iv'e just updated my diet blog, I been feeling very ill this week with this diet and shock horror ate real food:eek: so naughty yet so nice. you really can't beat a nice roast beef dinner yum. I was very pleased to have still lost weight which i didn't think i had.

I need to update my nomal blog but it's finding the time to do it and to find challenges to enter them into as it is so time consumming entering them all.

I have this wedding seating plan to do, carftyjuju have you done yours yet? The top table is unconventional as there are sadly no parents on the brides side and she wasnts her daughter next to her so this is what i have come up with her brother, her brother daughter, bride, groom, mother, father, bestman. So you think that's ok Also she wants families grouped together on it like mr blog, mrs blog, baby blog. not vertically down
mr blog
mrs blog
baby blog

But i'm not keen, it will look silly as then the single people will only be one name under the groups iyswim does that make sense.

Hi All

Just back from watching the A Team. I must admit I was suprised. It was very good. I thought having seen the old ones, it might not be as good. They have left it very nicely for a sequel!

Rusty - hope you manage to set some decent sleep tonight.

I know I dont know any of you apart from on here, but I just wanted to say that you have all been very friendly and helpful and I am glad I found this thread. It has brought my cardmaking to a different level and made me think about the cards I make. I have been inspired by your blogs. So thank you very much.

I need to do some blog hopping, but am trying to get dinner done and DS off to cadets by 7pm. Hopefully will be back later.

We've had lovely hot and sunny weather together. I went into town with my mum.

I receive my prize from Katie's Creations - lots of lovely stamped images and some other bits and bobs!!!

Off to the cinema tonight to see Inception.

Hi everyone thankyou for your good wishes for Willow. We had an excellent party, they had loads of fun in the pool with a full bottle of bubble bath!!! afterwards they all tucked in to pizza and salad and fruit kebabs then chocolate cake yum. All cleaned up and just 6 bath towels to wash.

Rainmac thankyou soooo much for my envelope you are so lovely xx

Rusty Sorry you are feeling a bit off it, perhaps its because you are so missing DS. What a lovely suprise he will have when he comes home to a new bedroom.

Congratulations to ******* Well Done xx

Re Stamped images if I buy any from ebay I always scan them, I know its naughty but I figure I'm not selling them so why not!

If anyone wants to pm me their email

Evening all,

Thanks for all of the comments, I have been a busy bee today, absolutely knackered now but need to get on the wii as I havent been on it all week cause of the pain .... Wishing this week and next away to have my little man back, think Flourgirl may be right and it could be because he isnt here!!

Flourgirl - Glad Willow had a lovely time, sounds like you enjoyed it too!

Off to Durham tomorrow to visit bunbun :j be nice to be away from the house whilst the workmen are doing noisy things next door!!

I havent commented on blogs for ages, just not been able to, all of the makes are beautiful as always xxx

Back later to catch up again ... time to get the wii fat out and see if I can burn some calories ... either that or I will just keel over, the latter sounds more probable!

Rusty - mind how you go with the 'keep fit' and your back.
Been to physio again today -more exercises lifting legs in positions I wouldn't normally do and talk about ouch !!:eek: Thankfully physiotherapist is away till September so I can do these exercises at my pace.......fairly easy..............lol:rotfl:

Trying to keep on top of your blogs..........your cards are really lovely -put mine to shame and there;s me thinking how clever I was getting nearly all the xmas ones done.............just the ''special'' family ones to do now. Think I'll give them a bit more thought.

Scrapbooks all done apart from last two pages on No.2 :T

Sorry Soma, I've only just seen your post, hope things went ok/well xxx

It's me, me, me I am the winner of the Greetings Farm digi, very exciting I received my 2 LOTV freebie stamps and inside the parcel was also a beautiful handmade card, 3 packs of Magnolia flowers and a pack of doilies :j :j :j

Rusty, an 8x8 card - eekk not me missus, what do you do with all that blinking space? Would looking at some sketches help with your mojo?

Wanna-b-rich, love your out of this world card, it's brilliant x

Just found out my OH is not coming back tomorrow but Friday afternoon We are supposed to be going to see Inception with friends Friday night so hope he's back in time. He is also going to be going to Cairo in Egypt for work at the end of August/beg September

We had a great day at the park today, weather was wierd as it was hot one minute, windy the next, overcast the next... but it stayed dry and the kiddies had a fab time.

Off to blog a couple of new cards x
