Posted before i read you aren't doing it. I am doing it as if it the place i am thinking about, it is a bit more up market to the ones i have done before and i am hoping i can up my prices a bit. I already have one order from it so i hope it will be good.

Did someone answer the challenge question someone asked about? Is it still wings or something else. Everything seems to have got lost the last day or so but glad it is back to normal now. Well as normal as can be without rusty. Take care of yourself hun we are all here when you come back.

hope it goes well for you, I know what you mean re the upmarketness the lady who emailed me said that its quite a big one and they are hoping for a huge turnout so hope you get lots of orders

Hi ScattyJan and welcome to the thread.

NPSMama - huge congratulations, you have one beautiful little angel there to treasure, she is gorgeous.

I've got my craft space back :T, OH finished laying the carpet tiles today so I've spent the afternoon cleaning up and getting the room ready for DD's visit over the weekend. And there was me hoping to get a crafty afternoon in , maybe tomorrow then! Still, on the bright side I do have a reasonably clear desk now and all the carp bits have been thrown in the bin so I've got room to make a card now instead of just a little 6" x 6" square of clear desk lol!

I'm still waiting for my order from Craftwork Cards, been and checked my order history - ordered late night 7th April and still no despatch date showing. They say they normall despatch within five days so even allowing for Easter I think we've passed that now. I might contact them if it doesn't arrive tomorrow as I've now run out of any card that will go through my printer for digi images.

hope your order turns up soon, I'd contact them if I were you. hope they dont have spies on here too :eek: whoops I'll put my stirring spoon away :rotfl:

Are you doing the craft fair? Is it near some water? if so i have booked for it selling my nappy cakes.

Is the fair before fathers day if so you could do some pints of socks for the dads

I did wonder when I posted that, but I'm hoping it wont open another can of worms!

Gemm, if you fancy doing a fair you should try local schools, lots will have summer and xmas fairs and tables would probably be £10-£15. Thank you so much for the very beautiful card and images, they came today x

Hassy, thank you so much for looking for the BG Kraft paper pad for me, you lovely lady. Nope I haven't been able to find it either

Wanna-b-rich, so glad you've had a lovely day. Thank you so much for posting the Mad About Cards link for the BG sale items. They have BG buttons in the sale and their buttons are gorgeous, may have to order some...

Ali, I don't have a scoreboard and have always managed without but after trying to make 2 piddly boxes this week with dismal results I think I need one. Going to order the Martha Stewart one from Oyster, thanks for the heads up PONR :A

I've been out all day and come back to a thread that's calm and serene, much better xxx

Welcome ScattyJan

Npsmama - congratulations she is gorgeous

It's official - I'm in lurve with my Nesties! Have spent most this afternoon playing with them and they are fab. Trying to pluck up the courage to use my Letrajet, but think that might have to wait a couple of days.

I see the spendy elves are out and about - enjoy! x

thanks for the advice, I am trying to work up the courage to contact the local schools as I am worried that they will think it's odd I dont have a child that goes there yet want to hold a stall I know I'm being silly but I worry about stuff like that unless it's been advertised!! glad you liked the images
