well done rainmac on the win!!!

still no crafting done but the upstairs of the house is clean and tidy :T, just downstairs to go :sad:. i met a friend for lunch today and then took my mum's dog out for a jog, have been doing this since monday coz she had a minor op and needs to rest. tomorrow i'll do the downstairs and my mums jobs! think i'll craft in september!

rainmac - ooh that sounds a lovely bundle!!
wanna b - thanks for playing along with the challenge - your card is fab!!!

Got a couple of cards to blog - but might have to do them tomorrow - feel exhausted - been to sons last swimming lesson and it was sooooo warm I feel all lethargic now - or it could be the glass of wine I have just finished :-)

Also, do any of you feel that sometimes you just cant get your colouring right???? My six year old could do better today!!!

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

I will do I promise ... only managed 138 calories tonight as I have had a horrible pain in my chest all day and it reared its ugly head so had to stop ... I am sure the physio just like to see if we can move all of our joints in really painful positions! hope it works for you xxx

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

Rainmac - sounds like a beautiful prize for you! ... not sure on the 8x8 card :eek: ... they have arrived today so will have to have a look and see! .... as for sketches I have looked but today OH has asked me to make 2 cards using my mouse camera stamp ... oh and they have to be ready by friday night ... but I am out tomorrow and then Friday we are finishing off the stripping of Toms room .... hopefully something will come to me by then. OH blagged some switch/buttons from a company who he deals with through work, basically these buttons are being made into switches which will be attatched to wheel chairs so that less abled people can still do things they love, i.e photography!! so proud of him for that but wish he wouldnt drop things on me!! Hope your OH is home in time for the cinema!! xxx

Just had a very sad phone call My Mum was crying, I thought her FIL had died as she was so upset she could barely talk, her FIL basically has had his scan, the cancer has spread so they have had to make one of 2 decisions, either he has some treatment which means he will always have a bag attatched to him and pipes and will maybe last out the next 6 months, or not to do anything. Apparently when he was first diagnosed he said he never wanted a bag and wanted nature to take its course ..... has has been given a maximum of a few days to live. Makes me realise how lucky my grandad was to not suffer and go in his sleep as they both had the exact same disgnosis!

Rusty sorry about your sad news, I'm thinking about you and sending you lots of virtual hugs and buckets of love xxxx

I was feeling a bit down yesterday as it was 13 years since my MIL died of lung cancer, we didn't always see eye to eye but OMG do I miss her.

Rainmac sounds like you won some fab goodies, its lovely to get suprises Your DH must have a great job, all that travelling, not much fun for you and the kiddies though.

Mary I bet these physio's go home and have a laugh saying " you'll never guess what I've had the patients doing today" You just have to remember they have your best interests at heart Take things easy xx

Soma I will wear something inside out for you tomorrow. Good Luck xx

Sending hugs back to you!! yesterday was 3 years since a friend of mine died from testiculor cancer I got to the hospital just in time to spend the last 4 minutes with him!! Managed to say sorry for being such a cow, as we used to go out and I was horrible to him!! .... Just feel so useless as I cant be there for my mum other than on the phone!!

I have craft stash surrounding me .... I am about to chop up my basic grey oliver pad which has been untouched since I bought it in May lol .... lets hope I can do something right!!

Rainmac, Tired Mom & Hogshead - It's this one and I paid £7.49. I'm not sure wether they are just a chain in the SE? I could always have a look for you and see if they've got any left. The Big Bite was the old orange colur not the pretty pink but tbh at that price I didn't care.

Sorry to snip. WBR If you are that way again & they have it PLEASE bag me one. I can pay in advance if you prefer but can honestly say I am good for the money once we are ready to trade ( assuming you can get one )

Let me know. I did check store locator & nowhere near me so hope you get lucky fo me & others who may have replied ( I am reading from where I left off so not near the end yet!)

Evening everybody,

I've put a couple of cards on my blog if you'd like to have a look. I've been looking at all your creations & they're all lovely.
I'm going to attempt to colour in with my new promarkers now. I've never used them before so wish me luck! I'll put the end result on my blog if it turns out ok!
Congratulations on your win Rainmac. :T
Hugs to Rusty & whoever else needs them. :grouphug: x
