(I'm in and out browsing)
I think I read that some of you have Scor-pals, have you seen the project list?
Just came across it and I don't have a Scor-pal but may still attempt something lol

Hi all, just quick post from me as I am about to go to work, have blogged my challenge card was supposed to be buying some veg seeds and compost this morning but spent it doing my challenge card instead

Thanks for the tips re pro markers will try touching the fine lines lightly see if that makes a difference

Lyndach if you do get a score board even the Martha Stewart one will work with the ideas on the site. Kitty Franken (www.kittyfranken.blogspot.com) does most of the work for Diana Crick who heads up Scor-pal. Also, check out www.splitcoaststampers.com for more ideas with scoring boards as Scor-Pal is a sponsor of the site.

Thank you for your ideas Hogshead.

Huge thanks for the help with the sentiment, rainmac. www.papermakeup.com is a brilliant site for all stuff. I'm going to have a good look later as they do digi image sentiments as well.

Only a couple of hours till I finish work, s'pose I'd better do some then

How gorgeous is that, now wouldn't it be lovely with the Tinkerbell stamps that have arrived today! Must resist .........

Marg - Your cheque has arrived today thank you. Goods are ordered when chq's have cleared in her account so with Easter she wasn't banking them till today. The goods then come from Germany so I imagine about a fortnight but I may be very wrong, banks seem to take so long to clear chqs so they can hang onto our money!

And me!!:rotfl:

Tired Mum - Thank you!

Just another flying visit from me......Sorry to hear of the school and nursery problems Craftygranny I have no experience to offer but lots of positive thoughts for you. Oh! Do you have a local Deaf Society who might have lots of experience to offer? Will your GP pitch in and help?

Rainmac - How can they possibly think a child who can't see properly hasn't got needs above & beyond others in her peer group? Beats me!:mad:

Note: nothing to do with me but hope all those with children with care & mobility needs significantly above and beyond the needs of children of a similar age have claimed Disability Living Allowance (DLA). :(Steps off soapbox....hopefully not with foot in mouth....

Positive note: The Birthday/Address List is almost ready:) - just waiting for permission from one or two who may be on holiday.
Anyone else who wants to be included please pm me with details - Thank you!

Wow! My Promarkers have arrived :j. I ordered them on 3 April (Saturday) at 1/4 to 1 in the morning and considering there's been the Easter break I'm really surprised and chuffed they've arrived today.

For anyone who missed my earlier post I got them from Angel Crafts (scroll down, last of the items in the Bulk Buy section). They're doing a bulk buy offer of 10 PMs for £15.45 or 25 for £34.99 with free p+p on both of these items, you get to choose your colours. As I hadn't got any PMs (and didn't really mean to start a collection anyway ) I went for the 25 set as it worked out at £1.40 per PM.

I'm torn now - the sun is shining and I was going to go out in the garden to do some more, or do I now stay in and play????????????????

I am so jealous!! I ordered my promarkers from Creative card world the sat after the NEC so 26th?? and I am still waiting for them :mad: I also ordered a sarahs card box £75 worth of stash on the same day and still waiting on that aswell! I give up! Enjoy your PM's

I feel so much better for it to be honest! Although DD slept from 8pm last night after talking to Daddy on the phone and she woke up at 9ish and just gets up and plays with her toys in her room, although yesterday she came out of her room and knocked on my door shouting that there was some one at the door, I shot downstairs and there was no one there, when I asked her who was at the door she said it was her :rotfl: Ooooh you will be buying lots of them then I love the papers, but scared of them running out hence asking for some yesterday!


Can anyone help me please? I am going completely crazy! I found a tupperware box with stamps in which I have sold a few of, I put them on the table, removed them from the box and took a photo of them to put on here last week, I then think I put them back in the box, and left the box on the table. However I have spent the last nearly 2 hours looking for them, I have searched high and low and I really can't find them, it has really gotten me down and driven crazy, I phoned OH in tears cause I couldn't find them, but I need to get 4 out of the box to post to Lei and Tiredmom and choccy!

Can someone please tell me where I have put it?? I have gone through all of my boxes and still can't find it!! but I will have put it in a safe place!!

dragonllew

Oh Rusty I know how it feels I'm always losing things like that hope you find them soon.

Craftygranny hope you manage to sort out your problems with schools soon.

I got 2 of my crafty orders in the post this morning somelovely papers and a new embossing folder so hopefully will be able to play with them later.

Will try and catch up better later
Have uploaded a couple of new cards on my blog.
