WOW!! you have some gorgeous stash there PONR, fabulous papers, nice to stroke lovely stamps and your MS punch is just so pretty. Cant wait to see your makes.

Marg I don't know yet if I am working Wed & Thurs next week, I think I will be and yes I can remember Woollies sweet counter, the one in town was huge!

We are at home this year for easter, the first time for ages, but we have a few days planned in a couple of weeks time. We are going to Lancashire, to Pendle Witch country. I hope the weather will be kind to us so we can go walking.

Hello, Well the Easter weekend has seen me glued to the pc with my pen and notebook, writing a list of things I would like to make. I've made some Teabag Card Holders and I'm trying to thing of a verse to put in, think I'll have a search on google. I think you'll be able to view my blog via the homepage link, if I've done it correctly.

I wanted to ask peoples advice on stamps and images, I just don't know where to start or what to buy, can someone point me in the right direction as to what would be a good starter?

Hello you busy lot :j Had a look at your blog flourgirl -looks like you had a lot of fun at NEC..............lol
Love the jelly pigs............lol

rainmac - I'm so pleased with what I've done with my scrapbook............I'll have to see if I can take some pictures with my disposable camera and post them to you

Didn't get much done today except a page layout...........one of the boys we fostered some years ago came and took me out for lunch at the local hotel..........:j Nice surprise that was.

Now dinners ready and I'm not all that hungry.....;)

Been to a crop today & managed to make 2 more cards similar to that which I posted a few pages back. Wish I could make as much as I chat!!!!
Some really nice stash shopping & fab NEC pics, shame I never went.
I really would like a butterfly punch but having just bought some nestabilities & Stazon ink pads I'd best hold fire.
