Thanks for all the links PONR, flourgirl and wanna-b-rich, lots there for me to look through.
PONR - sounds like you've found some fab deals while you've been away, I hope you don't end up with excess baggage charges!!

Oohh hope not. I came with 2 cases and 1 of them was not very full and had stuff for the friend I am staying with it it so it is now full of craft stuff!! I flew Premium Economy so am allowed 2 bags weighing 23 kg each.

:j:jCan't believe I won those gorgeous stamps thanks Flourgirl and choccy for pointing me that direction.

Rusty I'm so sorry to hear your sad news my thoughts are with you and your family.

Rainmac you are naughty pointing out those new pink gem stamps I have already gone over my crafty budget this month I must not buy anything else!

Have uploaded a picture to my blog of the sweet box/ basket I made my mum for mothers day and pics of the fab cards I got.

Morning shift here, I'm in the packing dept. I've forgotten to send the punches off, if your package is a little heavy it could be that I've wrapped meself.

Just a quickie before taking kids to school and heading for work - dragonllew - will pop your atc in the post - I am really not sure if I have got the idea right?? Hope it is ok.

Morning ladies. Thanks for all of the lovely comments. I did keep popping on yesterday and did see them all but didn't post. I am still in shock about it all but trying to keep myself busy at the minute

Might have a go at making a couple of cards today if I can, if not then I had best get cracking on the wedding invites again!

Hope everyone is ok. x

So sorry Rusty to hear your sad news, don't think there is anything I can say at the moment other than my thoughts are with you & your family. ((hugs))

Thankyou Marg means a lot! xx

I think I need to ban my family from buying me birthday cards as they generally plan ahead.

Last year my G'dad died a couple of days before his birthday which he also shared with my DD, she had a birthday card and present waiting for her from him even though he had already gone there was also a card for me, which just had my name on the envelope and no writing inside as he hadn't got around to writing inside. Then last week my Gran and Auntie came to visit, bringing up a present each for myself and DD and also 2 cards, one from my aunt and uncle and one from my gran each, and now my gran has gone aswell!!! I find it quite scary that they both write/buy cards and then both leave us all!! I guess it will be another birthday for DD and I to have cards on the fireplace from family who have passed on!! lets hope it doesn't happen again next year, not sure I can cope with anymore!

JHB - Sorry to hear about your accident and the flashback - hope you are feeling much better now & it's receding. Someone once told me in relation to car accidents, compared to people 'Metal doesn't Matter' which is true I suppose - until it it involves paying for it!

Skiergirl - Where did you go on hols? Sorry you've come back to aggravation & worry about your family, hope it resolves very soon.

Rainmac - well done on the sausage success.

Yay Choccy - glad it arrived OK - only posted it at 5:30 last night - I don't normally have a good word to say for our postal service but they 'done good' this time.
