Can someone please tell me where the best place to get the Prima flowers from is? Also card candy? I'd like to enter but need both.

Gemma - Aren't you clever, can't wait to see it fully up and running.

Just made a card for my BIL that I'm actually pleased with and I hate doing male cards. Will post piccie's on blog tomorrow as my bed is calling.

Night all and hope the other poorly little ones are improving and those in pain get some relief in sleep.

I can send you some card candy if you would like? I have lots of different colours x

This thread is moving so fast at the moment I'm struggling, not so much reading but remembering what I've read so hugs to all and if you aren't mentioned please don't be offended.

Sally - sorry to hear of ongoing problems from your ex! Hope solicitor replies very soon. And OH continues to get well.

Popkins - so sorry to hear your appointment cancelled, such an anti climax! Hope it happens OK next week.

Hope all children returning to school tomorrow are fit and well enough to go so Mums get a bit of 'ME' time.

Skiergirl - Hope you fell better very soon.

Jowri & carmin - thank you for Photobucket links.

Welcome back Bunbun

Rusty - Think you're onto a winner with those cogs, for male cards especially if they fit with the Craftwork round sentiments.

Well Done Gemma for starting a website, I wouldn't know where to start!

Shoe size 5 and half or 6 depending on make - sadly, very average so never any sale bargains for me!

Bunbun - welcome back - glad to hear you had a fab time!!! I went to York years ago and loved it - I've always fancied going to Bath too.

Rusty - those cogs look fantastic - I would love some if you wouldn't mind. I always struggle with embellishments for boys cards - I think that's why I don't tend to make them 'cos I can't bung a pretty flower on it! There's no rush though - the rate I'm going with my cardmaking it'll be another fortnight before I make anything else!

Hassy - not sure I want to know what I could come across on the ghost tour, but thanks for the offer.
Lei - thanks for mentioning the chained oak tree at alton towers. I’ll tell my OH to google it. I’m a real scaredy cat when it come to stuff like that, so think it is better that I don’t know what may or may not be there then I can’t spook myself!
Welcome back Rusty. Good news no lumber punch for you, hope the MRI scan is bearable.
Mumoffour77 – what a fab idea to show people how to make cards where your OH is. As others have said if you want cards to sell, i’d happily make some for you. PM me your address and i’ll pop some things in the post for you.
Sally – with the help of your solicitor, I hope you get the closure/answers you want/need from you ex and the situation doesn’t drag on.
Skiergirl – I wondered where you had been. Sorry to hear you have been poorly, hope you are felling better soon.
Hope you are feeling better soon Popkins.
Lyndach – thinking of you, hope your DD teething isn’t too unbearable for her.
Welcome back BunBun – glad to hear the boys production went well.
I’m in the 2.5 to 3 shoe size – lots of bargains in the kids shoe section. I was looking for converse shoes the other day, and a kids size 2.5 was £12.99 and the ladies size 3 was £24.99. Couldn’t believe the difference, and was gutted they didn’t have a 2.5 in stock so I left it.

Sorry Lei and Crafty JuJu, didn't make it to the Post Office today but your cards and stash swaps will be posted out first thing tomorrow.

Can anyone recommend a good place/value for money to get the cellophane pockets for cards please on the net – looking for DL size. Thanks

I'm off tomorrow and the kids go back to school, so will be crafting all day, and will catch up on blogs too.
Hugs to everyone that needs them.

thanks for the advice Lei, I don't think I am seeing what other people are seeing though as the website looks quite small on my laptop and if I make it any smaller then I wont be able to read the buttons? I have my zoom set to 100% and am using 1440 x 900 resolution. do you mean it doesnt fit all on one page vertically or horizontally? I'm off to work soon so will see what it looks like there!

skiergirl and popkins sorry to hear you are in so much pain.

I could fit both my feet in a size 7 shoe and still have room - my feet are size 3:rotfl: they were a 2 but grew to a 3 after I had ds1:rotfl:

melissa fab card:T I love that image- I bought the stamp at the NEC - but I bet mine won't look as good as yours. your colouring is so perfect:T

At last I've found someone with the same problem as me! After I had DD my feet went from a 41/2 to 51/2 and when I had DS they went upto a 6. Apparently it's quite common, but I've never come across anyone else.

I've been really naughty and let my spendy elves out to play , but in my defense I did need some new papers as I don't actually have many. I almost bought the Lil Robots Papers but spotted the Prima Hello Spaceboy ones. I actually feel a splurge on papers coming on as I've spotted some gorgeous stacks on my travels, but it'll have to wait a month or so for my funds to replenish.

Hope everyone is well this morning and those who are poorly or in pain aren't suffering too much. x

Morning,

Ok I have a silly question "what is card candy" I know I'm a newbie and don't get the terms lol, I hopefully have a day off today and plan to do nothing but crafting, and catching up on csi all day!!!
Gemma well done on the website,
Bunbun we went to York years ago all I can remember is Yorvik smelled nasty, York minister was beautiful, and I loved all the little lanes,
Rusty the cogs are great

CT19720 - Phew...no worries I can't find my purse so was just about to put the same about your card :rotfl:I'm hoping to find it today...I'll let you know when I've popped it into the post, I'm just hoping Emily's not had my purse because I may never find it...nnnnoooooo :eek:

Hugs & love to you all x

Lyndach

Jowri - This is card candy

I really want to buy some card candy but I have no idea how to use it or how easy it would be and feels like it would be a waste to buy some if I can't use it lol
