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..........

I don't blame you - birthdays are fine but giving out other people's addresses is a bit iffy without permission! Anyway the list of birthdays from CraftyPlace in order are:

CT1972 – 11th February
The Wife - 12th February
MrsBsBlog – 2nd March
ChocolateOrange - 18th March
Myzdamena – 25th March
CraftyGranny – 14th April
Melissa75 – 17th April
Marg - 1st May
Sylphraven – 6th May
CraftyJuJu – 30th May
RustyFlange - 6th June
GlitterMum – 11th June
Lei_Armstrong - 20th July
Gemm85 – 24th July
OAP - 25th July
Dragonllew - 9th September
NpsMama – 30th September
Mary – 1st October
FurryPig - 3rd October
PaddingtonDoo - 8th October
FlourGirl - 3rd November
Lyndach – 27th November
Rainmac - 29th November
Popkins - 10th December

Oh dear! I've got myself all behind with the thread again. I'm so sorry but it will have to be a bit non-specific but big hugs to those who are poorly or sad, hope you're feeling better soon. Well done to those who've won something :T and a special well done to Alicia for doing so well with her treatment.

I've been busy starting a new blog about my attempts at gardening. I've made a card for my GS's birthday which is on my blog.

I'm hoping to make a card for OAP's challenge but I'm off on a blog hop now.

I managed a full day at work today! going to have another early night and hopefully I'll be right as rain soon, last day on the tablets tomorrow!

I MUST just say that my ATG Gun arrived today and I had a quick play with it earlier (took me ages to figure out how to load it with tape though!) - i LOVE it and don't know how I ever managed without one! thanks all those who recommended it

Thanks Gemm - glad to hear you are getting better.

Just updated my blog with a card i've made using the stash I got from the NEC on Friday! TomsMum I was worried the ink wouldn't come of but luckily it washed off really easily (but that may be because I used dye ink - don't know what would happen with pigment ink). x

CraftyGranny the news about Alicia is great I bet you're soo relieved and can't wait to have her home. x

Marg I dont mind people knowing my address, there are a lot of people on there whose addresses I don't have though, so would love a copy of the list when it's complete! thanks for organizing it, great idea

Marg i've just PM'd you my address and am happy for you to share it. I'd love a copy of the list aswell once it's finished if you don't mind. x

Lol my bug is fine put the white plate A at the bottom then your bottle cap with the open side up, then you need a die that has a metal back plkace the metal against the bottle cap and the plate B on top run it through the cuttlebug. Mine makes more noise cutting nesties than doing this. According to the blog I was reading it doesn't work with caps off beer bottles needs to be the ones you use for home brew I got mine from work a pk of 50 was 82p

Ooh i'm intrigued by this so will go have a look in a minute! Is it bad that I spent soo much money on Friday at the NEC then two packages of stash arrived today? Anyway I treated myself to the Butterfly Queen stamp by Bombshell - I know that a few people were interested in the tattoo style pin up girls a while ago so if anyone wants any stamping let me know! x
