PONR - Glad to see you are home safely, you don't need to put your craft stuff away isn't it for playing with?

Good luck with the wedding arrangements TinyPablo. As the others have said the stress will be so worth it and you will have an amazing day. I organised ours almost 3 years ago, and all I can tell you is that all the stress was worth it for a fantastic day. I too organised everything on my own and we had a small intimate service followed by a party for 80 in a local hall, and all the little extras I did were noticed by everyone and it made all the extra effort I had put in worth it. If you need any help or ideas just shout.

Glad you are home safely PONR and you didn't get done with paying extra in customs.

Just blogged the card I have made my son - another 3d 'gadget' card, as PSP this time, and am very pleased with how it has come out.

Not sure I'll get a chance to get back on between tomorrow and Tuesday, so just wanted to say, hope everyone has a great easter.

Popkins – So sorry you are poorly, I’ve not had it but have friends who have and it’s really nasty. Hope you get well very soon and are back crafting. I know what you mean about wanting your Mum when you are ill – my Mum’s been dead for 17 years and when I’m ill it’s when I miss her most.
Nannyboo – it almost always falls to one person to do parent care, sorry it’s you. Don’t feel guilty that you don’t respond as your Mum wants you to, you’ve got to have your life too.
Rainmac – you know what they say – if you want something doing ask a busy person I guess that’s how you got on two committees! Forgot to say earlier lovely to hear your DS1 is doing well @ school.
OAP – sorry to hear of your storm damage, glad you are OK now.
Tomsmom – sorry you had a frustrating afternoon hope tonight’s outing was an enjoyable antidote. I can’t offer any useful advice – sorry.
Dragonllew – have pm’d you.
CT1972 – Glad it arrived Ok – thanks for letting me know – Have fun at Alton Towers!
Tiny Pablo – I think stress & weddings go together I had my first ever serious migraine the night before I got married many years ago – wasn’t sure how I was going to make it.... but I did! Macma's, CT's & the Wife's advice is sound.
Huge welcome home PONR! It'll take a while to get sleep pattern back. We slept for days the only time we flew back from US. Can’t wait to see your stash....

Rusty - LOL no fishing scale did not come from Michaels but Michaels should offer a weighing service!!!!
Tired Mom - yes I am looking forward to getting all my stuff out to play with. I especially want to try the MS Scoreboard and an MS double edge doily punch.
Craftygranny - I hope Alicia is home with you soon. I don't know much about why she went to the US as I joined after you had told people but know that she has gone through alot. Hope that it all works out well for her.
PepPop - Lol at the photo of the planes. I could have done with a plane all to myself. Even my handbaggage was very heavy and I even had a MS punch in my ladies handbag!!!!!
JHB - What a cheek that company had saying they would add the $20 to your account. Makes you wonder if they did it on purpose to get another order from you!! Well done for standing your ground!
Paddingtondoo - have a great time in Scotland.
dragonllew - congrats on your win.
Charlie23 - nice stash for that price!!!
CT19720 - have a great time on Sunday at Alton Towers.
Hassy - hope you had a great time at Alton Towers also and that the weather was ok for you.
Popkins - hope you are feeling better today.

Thanks for the 'Welcome Home' ladies - I am awake again now!!! Managed a few hours sleep earlier as I couldn't keep my eyes open!!! Will try again in a while!!!

Morning just nipped on to wish everyone a happy easter - don't get choccy on your stash :rotfl::rotfl: Plus if it's our choccy she'll probably snaffle it .

Glad youre back PONR without any mishaps.

It will all be worth it in the end Tiny - I've been married twice and it was just as stressful the 2nd time even with 3 friends who ended up being nicknamed team bride :rotfl: we did everything between us make up hair cake tables the lot and it was a fantastic day :j

Off to pack before OH tells me off even though he has done absolutely nowt

hi all,
i have been reading this thread for 4 days now and every time i come back thier is a nother 2 or 3 pages!

i would just like to ask all of you about an idear, i have a lot of stash from when i made cards years ago, in my village we have a lillel girl who is in need of some hydrotherapy pool treatments and we are going to have a big cake sale in the village hall for her in may bank holiday.
do you think it would be worth having a card stall too and other craft things but what to have i would be very gratefull for you thoughts.

thanks
