Just blogged a really unusual card,from a 5 year old.
In the usual place

Ooh, I just looked at yours, and you have the exact kind of zig zag card I'm looking for! Where did you get yours from please?

Yay!! Well done to all our winners. Well deserved x

Rainmac your poor DH hope he doesn't have and repercussions and i s ok. Must have been hell of a bump if the car is a mess, I think I would have slapped the other driver too!! Puts my sore toe into perspective.

Thankyou all for your concerns but my toe isn't broken just very very badly bruised. Our shop is across from the health centre and a nurse came in for a cake and she had a look for me, if the bruise gets any worse I have to go to the hospital. We have been soooo busy today didn't have time for a cake!!!!:eek::eek: or a drink! Honestly just cos we are closed on Monday people think they have to stock up for a fortnight! No sign of any tea ready here so think it might be Chinese tonight.

DH has been putting all my files on this new laptop he was shocked at how much craft stuff I have stored :eek::eek: and told me off for not having things in a proper filing system.... oops cant be perfect all the time can I?

Scatty - Well done on your win. Yes the blog hop took me ages too. Its so interesting seeing other peoples blogs!

PONR - Glad you arrived safely. Hope the jet lag improves soon and you can go shopping!

Just had a good tidy of all my craft stuff. And its now in boxes and tins under my desk. It looks alot more organised. Hopefully I'll be able to find stuff when I need it now! Just spent time looking at everything and thinking 'I forgot I had that'!

We've just had a big downpour. It was bright sunshine before and is now bright sunshine again now.

Just a quick hello from me for now - we've got to take our lovely cat Sam to an emergency vets at 6:15 & I'm trying to distract myself.

rainmac - so sorry to hear about your DH's accident it's bound to have shaken him up regardless of if he's been hurt needs TLC Hope you manage to get the car fixed without too much trouble.

Well Done to our winners:j

PONR Glad you arrived safely. Yes, If you'd like to pm me your postal address I'll include it on the lists. Hope you get your sleep pattern sorted soon so you can go shopping.

Tomsmum - bright & breezy here with the odd shower so your son & children should be having fun. (not been to town but I bet it's busy)

Flourgirl - Hope your toe is feeling better after you've sat with your feet up a bit & been waited on - your pc sounds like mine but to sort things into files takes up valuable crafting time!!

Hi everyone

Congratulations Scatty on your lovely win.

Jazabelle - The tri fold cards are reduced in Hobbycraft

Oh no Marg - what's wrong?

Rainmac - I'm glad OH is OK.

Flourgirl - I'm glad your toe isn't broken. You put your feet up and rest it over the weekend.

Ali -b - have you come the end of the ironing yet. That sounded just like me last weekend. It felt like I was ironing forever.

I'm glad you arrived safely PONR. I hope the jet lag settles down for you soon. Take care and have fun shopping!

Silly question alert - What happens when you do a blg hop? Do you have to follow a list or something?

I had an A4 piece of card which I cut in half ,length wise.
then folded it so I had 3 sides.
Its easy ,have a try.:D
Its a small card ,each side is about 3 inches square.

Yep just follow the list for the blog hop depends on each blog hop what you have to do sometimes you have to collect letters from each blog others like the stamping dragon one is just leave comments at each blog, become a follower of each blog and then you will be entered into the draw for the candy. Make sure you read the posts as sometimes you will have to post on your blog about the candy. hth

Flourgirl hope your toe gets better
Marg Hope your cat is okay!
PONR Hope your jet lag wears off soon

Have finished painting the walls and ceiling just need to gloss tomorrow, OH has 'offered' to do this, last time he painted the kitchen he didn't move anything off the shelves just painted round them! spent hours cleaning up after him :mad:

I also need to tidy up my craft room as it's just taken me 10 minutes to find my scissors

elysia2003

Thanks Dragonllew.

Mad frog - I laughed at OH painting around the stuff. Don't let him help - it's easier to do it yourself. That's what I have to do with my OH. He's so tight, he doesn't like putting paint on the brush and it doesn't look like it's been done - I come along and slap it on. lol

Yoo Hoo - yay Elysia ironing all done and put away and the biggest sort out this house has ever had - lol!!! Cant believe how much junk (nearly typed another word then!!) we had - we have been doing it room by room since we started decorating the kids bedrooms and have only got the kitchen left - save that for another day.

Scatty -:T what a lovely win!!
flourgirl - my husband says that as well - it is in files - just 3 really big ones!!!
marg - hope the cat is ok - it sounds serious ((hugs))

Started blog hopping this afternoon with my little tea break - will continue now (well until husband comes in with the kids!!)
