I've just came across a brilliant blog, it's kinda like the Free Digistamp one but it's got everything on it. I think she lists all the freebies weekly but I'm not sure.

Thanks for this one, PepPop

Soma - Glad you had a nice birthday

Nearly caught up again just a couple more pages. Had a super weekend, weather was great. One of the children at the site had a birthday so the children both went for a birthday lunch complete with choc fountain on the saturday night and then we had a bbq in the evening with the vans on either side of ours. Sunday we took the awning down as it was completely dry and it has to be down by the end of September. I now have a house that was a pickle anyway and now it is completely full of everything from the awning and the awning.


Doing jobs this afternoon as I refuse to do housework tomorrow. Instead tomorrow I'm taking Erin and her friend to soft play in the morning as it is the last chance to go during the weekday in term time. In the afternoon I am going to finally sort out all my lovely stash I bought during the summer and try and work out where to put it. In the evening I am at techniques class and we are going to do distressing so should be great. OH was a bit put out when I said I was still going to class but it is only once a month and I love it. There again I have got to sort out getting the children to make me cards tonight as DS didn't even know it was my birthday tomorrow which I know translates as DH hasn't sorted anything out, not even a card:mad: I really don't mind about not getting pressies but the children would be so upset if they hadn't even made me a card.

Right off to get DD ready for school.

hello peeps!

Currently formulating plans for the school christmas fayre but had an idea that I wanted to run past " the experts"- i.e. you!

i got all my christmas stash out - this was a lengthy process and was toying with the idea of making some Christmas cards for sale with the things I would never use ( a lot) - then I thought - why not make up card making packs and let someone else do the hard work.

I'm currently thinging along the lines of a pack for 5 cards - 5 blanks, 5 envelopes, 5 5 pieces of backing paper, 5 embellishments, 5 sentiments and a few matching bits and bobs - maybe with a sketch to follow - I could make some up to display on the day to show wht they could make.

what do you think?

Also, I'm going to get a few ideas of thins we can get parents to help out with whilst they wait for their children at school events. E.g. for making coaster calendars, I'll prepare everything and then let the parents make them up. Has anyone tried this before? did it lead to disaster? Can you think of anything else that we could make with a production line?

Better dash - at work on my lunch break.

Soma sounds like a brilliant birthday but the mind boggles at bellydancing and peel-offs, was it the dance of the seven 'happy birthdays' stickers???

We've got a lady in our chapter who's a belly dancer and she has a fab time.
