Oh thanks so much hun! As you got most of the pink and purple I'll have one each of those. I'll get a cheque off to you as soon as I've seen how much the postage on the envelope is. Thanks so very much for doing this.

To the other two who said they'd get me some if CT didn't find any, thanks so much for the offer of help. Isn't everyone on this thread lovely :T.

No problems. I'll put 3 pink and 3 purple in the post to you later this afternoon xx

Hi Ladies - just a flying visit from me today!!! I've just found out that we're moving!!! I am so chuffed - I only applied for it on Friday and have been hopefully packing and organising since - hence why I haven't been around much lately. We're moving next Wednesday so I've gone into panic mode trying to think who I need to notify! I've already packed some of my crafty stuff away so I don't know when I'm going to get the chance to make anything again.
The new house has three bedrooms (we have two now) and has two lounges so we figured the kids can have their own playroom downstairs which will make them happy! Wish me luck with my packing!!!

Rainmac - I completely forgot to say thanks for my swap card! It arrived this morning - its so pretty - love the little flowers on it. And thanks so much for my images too - they arrived a few days ago - can't wait until I'm settled and can have a play with them. I'm sorry they'll be a bit of a delay when it comes to you getting your card but I promise I'll send one eventually!

I am soooo jealous!!! I don't know if you saw my post earlier in the week but i am waiting to move too but have been told that with 3 kids DD 10 DS1 7 and DS2 2 next week we are not overcrowded!. (We also have a 2 bed)

Anyway congratulations, hope it all goes well for you. :T And don't let the kids have the extra room as a playroom, have it as a craft room

Ali.B - I have exactly the same problem, it's always too early to organise a party before they break up and if you try doing it during the summer hols it's a disaster and then it's a rush when they get back to school.

CT - popped into the works and they didn't have any of those gems, but they did have a fab adhesive metallic paper that I have big plans for and some papier-mache letters for 99p, so thank you

Marg - sorry to hear you're poorly. Sounds like you and I were working from the same calendar!!! LOL

Flourgirl - I love your thinking re Paypal and a stash ban, I'm going to try that excuse out with DH!! LOL

Padster - thanks for the link, might give that a go

Wishfulcomper - hello :wave: glad you've things sorted.

Craftygranny - the weather has cleared slightly, but looking at the forecast we are in for a battering tonight. Hopefully it should clear for the weekend.

Scatty - fingers crossed for you. x

Peppop - that scissor collection, just isn't normal behaviour! Now if it was stickles, promarkers or stamps I would fully understand, but scissors!!!!!

Melissa - how lovely, hope it all goes well. x

Dragonlew - you have a PM;)

Marg

Wow Melissa! Congratulations! please don't forget to let me have your new address for the list. I had missed you thought you'd extended your holiday.

Mary OP - I'll send it again! now you know to expect it.

PepPop - OMG how many is there???? :eek:

KMS if you ever wanted some craft room envy then check this out - this is her craft room. I swear she's got more stuff that my local Hobbycraft!!! If you're gonna look, grab a coffee and a seat you will be there a while!!! I've been following her for a while and every wednesday she posts a different section of her room and I've yet to see the same set of drawers twice!!!

Melissa Congratulations on your move (are you not tempted to make it a play / craft room? ) Oops KMS has the same idea

Artydoll I have finally made my challenge card you know where to look
Dragonllew I have the Marrianne die snowflake and I love it, you get 3 dies on the pack 2@ 5cm and 1@ 3cm so far I have cut them out on vellum, card, and mirri board with my bug and if you want to see the shape look at my challenge card (you will then know why I am saying thanks Dragon)

Craftygranny sending you hugs it must be such a worry for you, My neice was born with a hole in her heart and had surgery at a few days old and as she grew she had to have her "patch" renewed quite a few times till her heart was adult size, she is now a happy healthy ( but hormonal !!!!) 15 year old and no longer even has to attend the hospital.
I am away to blog hop now, :beer:

dragonllew

Wanna be rich you have a pm back if you let me know I can get this afternoon as just about to go out now
