Rainmac hope your foots okay
Mel Glad you are having a good time

I too would be interested in a secret santa.
I have tidied the shoes in the cupboard downstairs as it was such a mess, sorted out a couple of cupboards, now making a couple of cards, hopefully I will get a chance to catch up on blogs later

CT19720 - Personally i would really like to do a secret santa as opposed to a card swap, i think how you have said would work really well. Just one thing how do we sort out who is partnered with who? I have started putting a list together of everyone who said they would want to do it and so far i have 7 of us (that is including Soma and Soulie, but wasn't sure if it was a yes or no from either of you?)

And have you seen my candy!!

KMS26 - Melissa organised last years one through Crafty Place, as you can't do things like this through MSE. All we had to do was add our name to the thread on CP and at the end of the closing date Melissa paired people up. I know Melissa is coming back from holiday today, but don't know if she was going to offer to run a swap again this year.

So, Mel, when you read this can you just say whether you want to run a swap again this year. If you don't, then I'd be happy to open a thread up on CP for people to add their names too and sort out swap partners.

I've seen your candy, just trying to work out if I have ever done a card using bold/big patterns - not sure I have as this is something I try to avoid as I don't know what to do with them!

Hello all :j
Had a busy de-cluttering kind of day........well sort of........more like re-arranging and thinning out of mums paperwork -not been able to bring myself to do it till now. Kept a fair bit of it out of pure interest (care home costs, how much pension she got -good for my family history files) then got all involved with the shoe box full of cards and letters she had........they've ended up back in the box except those from my kids and they made me laugh so much I'm keeping them separate so I can have a giggle when I need one..............lol:rotfl:

pepop -we're staying at the Swallow Hotel in Glasgow -I googled it and it looks lovely and if the one in Torquay is anything to go by it'll be as good as it looks:)

Here's the link KMS - you need to become a member, but it is very straight forward to do. Have a look around the site, as this is where we do monthly card, ACT and stash swaps. Hope this helps you.

Soulie Hope you're feeling a bit better. Listen I can work on it at the weekend if you're feeling rubbish - don't worry about it. Hugs. Congratulations on your win too :T

Thank you
Go ahead and have a play at the weekend, if you have any problems just yell and when I'm feeling a bit better then I can have a go, if you haven't already done one lol


Thank you all for the congrats on my second win for this month!
I've been really lucky this year!
I have just sent off an e-mail to the lady who sponsored the second one that I won {$10 gift cert.} and have chosen the 5 digital stamps that I wanted, though to be honest, I don't really use digital stamps lol

Right, off to check on yesterday's challenges that have ended and I entered and any candy that has also closed!
