Gemm85

yay thanks for pointing out I made the top 3 on pixie cottage, my first 'top something' ever!! I always forget to check challenges I've entered!

congrats to wifey for winning the ribbons!

and the third good thing for today (as wanna b rich has mentioned!!) that today's the day I can announce I made the DT at Digistamps 4 Joy! it's a new challenge blog so we are trying to drum up lots of entries and followers, you can find the details on my you know what would be amazing if some people from here could join in, it's a photo inspiration so you just have to take something from the photo, could be a colour or a pattern, etc! theres a fab freebie here too

hope everyone has a good day, I'm entertaining my Mum today so I think I'll get her cuttlebugging some stuff for me :rotfl:

Have a fab day Wanna B.

Morning everyone.

Well done The Wife and OAP on your wins.

Jazabelle - they do do bigger plates for the cuttle bug now, so you can cut bigger things. Those are next on my 'to buy' list.

Edited to add - I must have been typing when you posted Gemma - Well done on your DT and top 3. Woohoo

Aren't you all a clever bunch. :j

Well Done Wifey & OAP on your Crafty Ribbons wins!

Well Done Gemma - that should help you wondering what to do with your new found freedom - enjoy your day with your Mum. I'll see if I can find time to blog hop & will enter if I can.

Wanna B Rich - Happy Birthday to your son - hope he likes his fabby card - have a good day - where are you going?

rainmac - thanks for the info - going to have a look now - would love to meet up - will see when it might be likely & get back to you.

Tired Mum - welcome back - not sure 'cos I've not looked but craft superstore used to be best for cuttlebug prices.

CT - sounds like you had a great time at Warwick & Alton Towers. If/when you need more of the gold/silver card from HB I can easily get & send you. Did you get the silver slightly holographic one - I love it if I can't get a colour to match.

Gota go dreaded Vat to do today!

I never thought of Home Bargains for card so thankyou CT and Marg. Guess where I'm going later!

Paddingtondoo - I received a surprise package through the post this morning. Thankyou so much, you shouldn't have though. They're great - all autumn colours. They will come in most useful. Thanks again!

CT. Have a lot going on at moment with kids, docs and OH being off work etc. Will try and post your nestie shapes today, but if not it will definately be tomorrow as kids back at school then.

Have a lovely day everyone!

Hi everyone - just popping in to say hi - will hopefully try and read back a little bit after I've had a cuppa but won't even attempt to catch up totally as have been away for sooooo long!! Sorry have been AWOL but have really been struggling with the fibro - had some events during the 'summer' that caused a pretty bad flare so haven't really been crafting much - haven't made any cards in months and just checked my blog and the last time I updated it was May!! EEEK! will try and update it today with some photos of some nappycakes I've made and am determined to get card making again - got a 1st birthday card & a 65th birthday card to make this week so all suggestions welcome!

Anyway its already lovely to be back and I hope everyone is well and happy! ttfn
