:j:j Congrats thingummybob :j:j well done on your win.

dragonllew, house mouse stamps don't qualify as stash 'cos it's rodent control!! :rotfl:

Thank you all for your fab comments on my latest card, I'm chuffed to bits. I finally found the owner of the image and it was Mel Stampz , well worth keeping a link somewhere as she is really helpful and quite a few freebies.

Sadly, I've just read she's been laid low with rotten migraines, so I hope she gets well soon.

I can't remember who (sorry!) but someone asked about keeping the edges of your card tidy on the inside if you colour the edges to match/tone with Promarkers. Just a little tip, measure the backing paper and then draw a line in pencil just inside the line of where the paper will go and colour up to the edge of that line. This will give you a tidy line of colour seepage on the inside. Does that make sense????? If not, tell me and I'll try again.

Just want to say a quick hi as I've finally pulled my socks up and kicked myself up the bum to get online again. I've been more exhausted than down but neither helps the other. The kids have started the summer hols and having both home together is proving more tiring than I remember! Gosh how I remember school holidays through rose tinted specs, lol.
Hmmm should say thanks for the link to crafty ribbons - except it through gritted teeth as spent waaaaaay to much money!- thanks for the code though as at least I didn't have to add postage to it.
I have been busy knitting of late as it helps my head to focus so not much paper crafting been getting done other than at craft class.
Big thanks for my July craft stash swap from CP (Sorry I can't remember your MSE name!). It is fab and I took it along with me to craft class last night and have been busy using all the fab papers and embellishments to decorate my never ending card. I will attempt to scan an image of each page. Still got the last page to decorate on it! Took ages to get it put together and then it really did seem neverending when it came to decorating it!
I have posted your stash package so hopefully you will get it tomorrow. I went to the post office and posted it so as not to risk getting the postage wrong.
Right I am going to potter over to ebay and try not to spend any money on there, honest I'm only looking :whistle:

Thanks for the congratulations I had an email first thing when I checked them.

Sorry I've not been keeping up too well but have had both DD and OH at home with me since Tuesday and it's been driving me barmy especially as I have to work here as well - think I'm one of life's natural loners plus I like my choice of programs on the telly so I know what the time is

Have blogged several cards over the last couple of days as it's the only thing keeping me sane at the mo except when DD insists on sitting on the end of my nose to watch me

Still haven't bought anything - thought I was going to have to today as DSD is 21 next week and didn't think I had a horse image but found a freebie I downloaded ages ago.

Car is fixed - brake pipe was rubbing on the tyre :eek: but only cost £20 to fix fortunately - bonus of using the village garage

Can't remember who needs hugs other than Craftygranny and Rusty - but have loads to spare if anyone wants one - and hope everyone who is off on hols has a fantastic time

Congratulations mystery person:j

Tiredmom - edited my post, sorry should've been candle.

I think I need my bed shortly, don't think sleeping on the sofa did me much good. Only thing is DH has gone out and I'll almost bet he's not taken a key!
