STASHERAMA! Looks like everyone had a brilliant day.

Thank you to all the lovely ladies for your cards and gifts yesterday, and to those who brought food for lunchtime. I have blogged the pressies and pics of my new stash. Compared to some people I was very restrained and spent just over £50 (+ £20 for Dominos last night !)
Giggle - I have also blogged a photo of my create and craft goody bag seperately, I think I got a good deal

Rusty - hope you're not in too much more pain today x

JHB - course I don't mind you using the photo -I'm just glad I'm hidden at the back :rotfl:

Thank you all for a fab day - see you all in november

Skiergirl - Lol it wasn't just us that had a Dominos out of the money I had left I've copied the photo & used it on my facebook page too, hope you don't mind x

Wow, what are those flower and leaf punches called? I think this is what I am looking for - do they make your own flowers similar to ones you buy pre-cut? Have you used them yet? Got a piccy?

Nice to see a photo of everyone at the NEC. Good to put faces to names. Sounds like you all had a great time.

BTW - sorry I don't post much anymore...I scrapbook mostly now but I do still lurk here.

Only just! I did sit & watch hubby trim the honeysuckly...hehe but afer 2hrs I decided I'd had enough & can do more another day.

I am quite tired but am thinking of getting comfy in the front room in my slanket with a cuppa & my beads & making some more bracelets....if I can be bothered to move from the chair in the kitchen!! :rotfl:

Hi

I have only just started to make cards and have been asked if I would help the children I work with to make Easter cards - they are 5 year olds so it has to be really easy to make. I would be grateful for any ideas you may have and any websites that may also help.

Thank you all very much.

well I had a fantastic day at the NEC:j it was lovely meeting everyone again and also meeting new people.

a big thank you to everyone for all the gifts, cards and food. it was fab choc, more choc and then even more choc:T thank you too flourgirl for the boys' monkey snacks - you should have seen the smiles on their faces they loved them.

thank you too rusty for driving:T glad you got home OK with no more scary moments

I bought some fab stash including 4 packs of promarkers so my colours have nearly doubled:D

I have taken some pics and will put them on my blog once they are on the computer.

rainmac I hope the party went well - enjoy the rest of the birthday celebrations

OH has gone out to see Jethro Tull in concert so once the boys' DVD has finished and they are in bed I am going to play:j
