    I'm guessing I have 5 mins before I pass out, I've spent the whole day making 30 odd Easter baskets! Once I've filled them in the morning I'll post a picture.

    Sally those boxes are lovely! and that sock monkey your DD has done is fab!
    Rusty I love those cards! They've inspired me!

    Anyway Merry Christmas everyone hope you have a nice weekend!



    Making all those baskets has definately affected you. lol

    Hmmmph i've spent all night looking and can't find anything i simply can't do without. Do you think it might be because i have o/h's permission to spend ( not that it stops me ) .

    Oh I know that feeling why is it whenever I have some money to spend I can't find anything to buy and when I don't have the money I could buy loads lol did place a small order at Lily of the Valley:D

    To those that want them please please take them, I think we are going to be living on beans for the next month!

    I have put in my order with stampin today which lets just say was rather large and I did honestly need all those punches. And then on Rainmac's advice I visited the Joanna Sheen shop to get a memento only skin tone promarkers, acrylic block, tape and 4 bottles of stickles also jumped into my basket.

    Now I have been good because even though I really need a scorpal I am going to make do without even though Choccy has now pointed out a pink one. And I've not ordered that gorgeous Princess Tilda even with free postage.

    The elves are banned until further notice and please ignore the New Year I honestly haven't lost it like Lyndach, think hubby would if he knew what I'd spent today!

    Charlie23 - I love your card.

    Just showed Elisha your comments and your suggestion for a name and she's decided to go with your suggestion, so he's now officially called Horace! lol

    Sal, your boxes are beautiful as is your daughter's sock monkey :). Does he have a name? I think he looks like a Horace ;). I tried to comment on your blog but is won't let me, think Blogger has a problem :( I agree with you that the baskets could be a problem with bits coming out. I put my baskets in cello bags to give them so the contents stay where they should.

    Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong with blogger. I am trying to upload photos from photobucket onto my blog. I am using the bottom code like you do if you want to post them on here. It is uploading and then telling me once I press the done button they will be on blogger. I do this and then can't find them anywhere. Am I using the wrong code or am I not looking for them in the right place? If someone can help I'd be very grateful.

    Right off to bed now and then caravan tomorrow so have a good weekend and lots of choccy.

    Night all

  • HAPPY EASTER everyone.

    Just popped on to say I've blogged not once but twice...

    Love the sock monkeys and the card that have been posted on here. Have been blog hopping and left comments - not sure if it's me or blogger, but I seem to be suffering deja-vue (?sp) I'm certain I've left comments but when I check they're not there??

    Hope all you peeps who are away for the weekend get some better weather.
  • Flourgirl - huge thank you for the gorgeous card I received yesterday (sorry only just managed to get on here). It was such a nice suprise and a lovely reminder of a great day!

    PONR - welcome bck to the not so sunny UK lol!
