ali.b.123

Morning all, just quickly popped on - I have started my spring cleaning and trying to get the house in order now that I am working an extra day - I've only done the ds loo - and emptied a cupboard in the utitlity and decided I needed a break!! These feelings of tidying up dont last long so I should crack on - well in 5 mins anyway;)
DTB - oh my goodness cant imaging what you are going through - but hope your son is ok ((hugs))
sally - I love your easter baskets x
crafty- Oh how cute is Lily - lovely pics on your blog x
glittermum - love your easter cards x
tiny - love your craft room and your wedding things look gorgeous:T
Right will crack on - although to be honest I think its nearly time for a cuppa:D

Popping to say Hi!!!

DTB - well done on your run :T. Hugs to you and &Son re your sad news.

Crafty JuJu - How gorgeous is Lily! Makes me go all gooey inside. Unfortunately no more grand-babies for me :sad:, the grandchildren are growing up now and the daddies have been "seen to" :rotfl: .

Lyndach - Not sure if I will manage your challenge, I seem to spend more time in the garden or on the computer than making cards at the moment. Will do my best though as it's raining at the moment so might get around to it today.

I love how you're all excited about the NEC. I did it once, a few years back, that was enough for me! I can't do crowds like that with all the pushing and shoving - I like my space :rotfl: . I'm sure you'll all have a lovely time. My friend is going, another friend is taking her and a couple of others. She told me the parking is £15 this year :eek: . Actually she's wrong, I've looked it up and it's £8 so that's a nice surprise for them. I've just bought a set of Nesties labels and the digi stamp of the bear and bunny on Paddington's blog so I'm quite happy as I've had my crafting fix!

Paddington - Thanks for linking to the shop for that digi stamp, I couldn't resist it. It says Get Well Bunny but I think it's useful for other occasions too.

Ooh, sorry I can't remember any more, too many pages but I'm keeping up with blogs and commenting.

I managed to make a card for Lyndach's challenge, it's on my blog.

The sun's shining now so I'm off out to do some more in the garden - blow the housework :rotfl: .

Well I've had a really uneventful weekend!! Elliot hasn't been sleeping much so I haven't had chance to make anything!! I always feel really frustrated if I can't craft - does that make me sound really selfish???? I did watch Stardust though that I'd taped - I loved it - just my sort of film!!!

Rusty - your daughter sounds perfectly normal to me!! My middle son is quite like her - he forms strange attachments to things - like elastic bands!!

Lyndach -sounds like you got yourself some fab things!!!

Marg - I thought that Smithy spoof was really funny too - especially the Beckham bits, Cordon's new sports quiz show is quite good too!!! Your easter card is great - love that paper lace!!!!

TinyPablo - you lucky thing getting your own craft room!!! Your invites and place settings are gorgeous!!!

Dawnteabag - congrats for completing your run - what a fantastic amount you raised!!!! I'm so sorry to hear about your ex B-i-l though.

Paddingtondoo - I hope they manage to find out what's wrong with your M-i-l.

Ali - sounds like you had a fab weekend - what did you end up buying???

Wanna-b-rich - your easter card is lovely - really cute and I love those buttons!!!

Twinkelittlestar - hope your DH recovers soon!

Sally - your easter buckets look fantastic - very colourful!

Sammr85 - sorry to hear you haven't been feeling too well - and sorry about your laptop!!!!

Tomsmum - your easter card is lovely too - love the colours!

PepPop

Mel Lovely card - you've got another follower.

TinyPablo - YAY hope you're enjoying your new craft room

DTB & Son - Congratulations on your mile and raising so much money :T

W-B-R Very cute sketch card - I love the bunny.

Padster congratulations on the win - funnily enough I was submitted to the scottish cup by OH yesterday too.

I'll catch up more later.

Dawnteabag, huge congratulations on running the mile. Me and DS1 fast walked it, it was lots of fun. So, so sorry to hear your sad news. Hope &son is ok xxx

Rusty, Pink Gem delivery time is the best, only takes a day usually from when you place the order

Padster, huge well done, GD, brilliant!!!

So are we doing bunny ears at the NEC and where can I find them? Did someone say Sainsbury's have them? I think I'll only have thursday morning to go looking.

Hugs to everyone xxx

I hate housework too My house is generally clean (just don't look under furniture ) but with two littlies, it always seems so untidy.

Anyone looking for bunny ears if you can get to a card warehouse they might have them in there! I know they usually have things like that in there around this time.

I have 2 pairs but will need 1 myself and the other bunbun has claimed!!
I now have a couple of things on my list, but I know how expensive these are so if I do find any then I just know I will have no money within an hour :rotfl:
I also have another passenger :j Craftyjuju is joining us aswell, seemed silly that she would drive down herself when I pretty much pass and had a spare seat

Can I have honset opinions on these please? (some of them are glittered papers but you can't tell from the pads)

Ooooh my luck is on my side again, just found out I was picked for the friday freebie over at crafty ribbons I have some beautiful spotty ribbon on its way to me!! I will need a bigger ribbon box at this rate!
