Just got back from looking after my niece, little niece was messing about in the bath and splashed water on the floor and slipped and cut her leg on the bath, (the front panel was off as they are decorating). Mum and dad took her to A&E and she has had glue stitches, and bless her she only cried once.

Does anyone have any advice for getting marianne design nesties from card as mine is sticking to it and I have been prying it off with my craft knife but have ripped a couple of them when doing so.

Knew i'd seen a tip about those in the last few days here it is . very useful i thought.

Morning all, my cough isn't letting up at all, and it's driving me round the bend lol

KMS - your package came yesterday AM. Thank you very much, and thank you for the extras you put in there!
Sorry to hear about your recent housing problems.
I knew one family who had 6 boys and a girl in a three bedroomed house, and they lived there for years. How they managed, I will never know!
And I knew another family who had 4 girls and a boy {lived opposite the other family too!} and the Dad and the boy shared one room, the Mum slept on the sofa, 2 girls in one room and the other 2 in the other bedroom, though at one point the elder daughter was sleeping/living in a caravan in the garden LOL

Thankyou Soulie for the link to the freebies too - I have downloaded them all! Some great advice there too. I have always loved anything crafty and made my own cards on occasion (mainly cross stitched ones though). I'm really getting into it in the past month. My stash has grown tremendously due to a combination of spending my birthday money and a small bingo win. I've been threatening DD1 telling her she's got to leave home so I can have a craft room, but she's not shifting :rotfl:- I'll have to get myself a workstation instead of spreading my craft stuff out over the dining room table.

You're very welcome, as is everyone else who said TY, I thought they were too good NOT to share!
I think I will make the little witches' head to put in my window for this year's Hallowe'en, but I would like to make a little pumpkin of a similar size too, so if anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them!
The stash soon adds up doesn't it?? :rotfl:

There was something else too, but I have totally forgotton what it was lol
I'll be back later once I remember!

Morning lovely ladies! alert - I'm on the scrounge for information anyone know where I'd be able to get (online) 50 sheets of plain hot pink A4 paper? It needs to be paper or very thin card. It's for a project I'm planning and believe it or not, I dont possess THAT much hot pink paper :rotfl: I did think of the papermill but TBH I'd rather get it online as I've just taken a trip to PM quite recently and it's a bit far to go again so soon. Would appreciate if anyone can point me in the right direction.

hope everyones well, it' starting off as a lovely sunny day here but knowing my luck it will start raining again as I have to go into town at lunch!

Hi Gemm

Have you had a look at papermill online? not sure if they have hot pink

Also i use PDA card and craft and they sell by the sheet, again not sure if they have hot pink but may be worth a look

Otherwise what about somewhere like staples where they sell coloured computer paper?
