Hassy

Evening ladies..
Tomsmom Good grief, you have put me to shame... you have done loads.. I am lucky to cross one thing off my to do list..:D You have done some lovely cards.. how did you do the sentiment on Molly's card?
Marg It was cloudy here too, the sun did try to peep out for a split second, but that was a feeble attempt.. I did get some washing dry though
CT I haven't done any ghost tours, but my DS2 is a whizz on knowledge about ghosts, he has informed me of the ones at Alton Towers if you want me to give you the heads up on what to look out for...;)
Nuttienettie hello...
Scattiejan Thanx for the link of the flower vase..
Flourgirl I missed the Most Haunted episode from Pendle :mad: I heard and read some really good things about it.. How was your trip there?
Sally Had remembered that someone had mentioned Iceland, but couldn't remember who, glad you ds has come home. Ironically, I read today that flights aren't effected in that country!
Glad oh is eating something now too.
Tiredmom Hope Erin continues to improve and you finally get a good nights sleep

The Wife and Choccy It is brill seeing your wonderful creations 'live' they are absolutely fab
Twinkle Hope your dd gets much better soon, conjunctivitis isn't very pleasant. Your butterfly card is lovely, I don't think personally that you can improve it, it's just right..
PONR Wow what an epic journey your brother undertook... I bet he was shattered but relieved at the end of it..
Paddington was it your step son who was trying to fly from Scotlad? Did he make it or did he have to go to his training course?
Giggle sorry there was a cancellation for your dd

Thank you Hassy,

My son wasn't bothered in the least, in fact he loved it so much, he said he wouldn't have minded being stranded there!

I'd have been beside myself though! lol

Dawnteabag, oh no, been thinking of you, at least you have a plan B x

Choccy, must have missed a post somewhere, I didn't know Ben was poorly, hope he gets better really fast xxx

Mel, I haven't opened my MS scoreboard yet, looks a bit scary with groves every quarter of an inch :eek: Think I'm going to leave it till the boys are at school and I have peace and quiet to concentrate I've got loads of Bazzill cardstock so I am all ready to get making! That sounds like it is my box, hope you like what's inside and so sorry it's late

Giggle, thank you for the offer, I've bought some today from a US seller on ebay

Thank you so so much for all the support about the DT role, I am so nervous but am excited too

My DS doesn't go back to school until Tuesday The holidays have actually gone really quickly, I thought I'd be tearing my hair out by now but I will be a bit sad to go back to normal.

Sally I have heard that Iceland is an interesting and lovely country but expensive.. a lot of geology and geography field trips take place there for students..

We went to Iceland for our honeymoon and loved it, the people were great and the scenery was amazing. Alcohol was VERY expensive

Do you mean the Happy Birthday? If so I just printed it on my computer, font is Mr & Mrs Popsicle, then cut out with circle nesties. If you mean the Piggin Cute that was part of the pig themed set of papers, tags, etc.

HTH, TomsMom

Happy (Belated) Birthday Melissa! x

Crikey just been catching up on the last 20+ pages since Thursday lol you lot sure can chat! Glad everything's back to normal now (well almost - it will be when Rusty's back).

Well done Rainmac for your DT spot - you deserve it x

Congratulations dragonllew that's great news x

The weather this weekend has been gorgeous so I persuaded OH to go on an hour long bike ride to a country pub yesterday then back. I felt really though as he has a dodgy knee from a motorbike accident and could barely walk afterwards...

Completely O/T, but has anyone every done a ghost tour.

Never knowing what to get my OH for his birthday, at his request I have just booked to do one with him (he wouldn't do it on his own) - an all night vigil at the ruins of Alton Towers on Friday 13th and they call the tour, "Terror at the Towers".

Not sure I want to do it, as I don't like the dark, but do love watching most haunted, but that is OK as I am in the comfort of my own home, and nothing is going to get me :rotfl:

Can someone tell me it isn't going to be as bad as I think it is.

Ooh this sounds right up my street! We did a ghost walk once in Whitby and it was really scary. The stories based around Alton Towers are quite creepy though - look up about the chained oak tree. If you're into that sort of thing you'll love it.

thanks to all who have become a fan on facebook, I am now working on my website but I havent got a clue what I'm doing so it may end up looking quite funny :rotfl:

If you need any help or pointing in the right direction just shout - it's been a few years since I last designed a website but still know html, etc.

Hi Hassy, to make the flowers I inked up a stamp with Stazon ink and stamped it onto acetate, then painted the 'wrong' side with my silkies paints from here, then cut them out and mounted them onto the card with 3D foam. The greeting is a stamp from personal impressions hope this helps!
