Ooh I also want to do this as I know you all appreciate handmade cards and encourages me to get creative more often! I have a few of your addresses already but if you wouldn't mind letting me know your birthdays and addresses that would be great thank you x

I think this is a fab idea I know there is a list on crafty place of some birthdays perhaps if one person collected all the dates and then sent the list to everyone who wanted it?

Does anyone know what kind of service Mad About Cards have and if there's a delivery charge and how long they take to deliver? Sorry for so many questions. I was going to do an order at lunchtime.

Mad About Cards have a minimum order of £15 and charge something like £2.95 for delivery I think! Normally takes a couple of days for the order to come x

Thanks - I've put a bit of an order together but I wasn't sure how long it would take.

That is a good idea - i've got the birthdays from CraftyPlace just need to get addresses! I'll post a copy of the list on this thread when I get home tonight x

Don't think they like me i've never had an order arrive from them in less than a week and i've ordered loads . Not ordered anything since xmas though so maybe my next order will come quicker lol.

I like the idea having birthdays & addresses, most birthdays are on Crafty Place. I'm happy to compile a 'round up' on there to save you all searching through, so, if you aren't on there & you are willing to participate you could add it. There is a special thread. (too late I've just seen your post Lei)!

I'm a less certain of addresses or of having a master list anywhere on the 'net'. I have got quite a few addresses from when we did the 'forces' cards but think I'd need you to tell me it was OK to disclose yours to others.

Sorry if I appear paranoid but they are my first thoughts.........off to work now look forward to reading what others think later on..........

Hi first time poster here. Have just read all of part one - took me 4 days- and think your cards are brilliant. Used to make a few myself but for past few years not had any time, however seeing all your lovely cards I think I will be doing some again soon.
Dont know if this has been mentioned but if you have a shop near to that has the sample books of wallpaper its worth asking in there if they will let you have one when the news ones come in. I have recently got a brilliant one this way - although have to admit know someone who works there but still worth asking anyway.
Off to start looking at Part two now.

Just a quick hello (seems all I do is pop in and run again latley)
My living room is gutted painting's done and OH is laying the floor, Little Miss is still a little poorly bless her and it's so hard to hold her at the moment as I've re-fractured my wrist, my right one too, the one I do EVERYTHING with
I did see a post asking for people's address could I too? I like send out some of the many cards I have laying around if people don't mind.
Right back to telling OH what to do haha then I'll catch up.

I don't mind anyone having my address, or birthday so if you need mine please shout as I know some of you already have it

Massive thankyou to Glittermum for the links to the tinkerbell stamps, they arrived this morning and they are absolutely beautiful so hope to ink them up later on!! I can't believe how fast they arrived!! Also my bag of ribbons from crafty ribbons freebie arrived today they are lush!!

Lyndach - hope your daughter feels better soon and your wrist heals soon! x
