How are you feeling now? We've had parking issues in our road and now get shot looks that could kill from people that live sort of opposite as I asked someone going to their house if they could park nearer the house they were visiting rather than in front of mine :mad:
don' get me started on parking in our street:mad: one of out neighbours have a karting business so park their huge van permanently outside their house along with their two cars and none on their drive. another two houses have grown up children who still live there and have cars as so their girlfriends:mad: it drives me mad
dragonllew sorry to hear you are still in pain. hope it gets sorted with physio
crafty juju image-e-nation that rusty mentioned earlier do mail order - not sure if the prices are the same though. love the invites:T

Forgot to say there's a really easy looking tutorial for a stair step card here, perfect for anyone who's just bought a scoreboard I'd say x
I've also found lots of blog candy links today so if you go have a look at my blog you can follow the links to enter them, loads of gorgeous stash up for grabs ladies!!! All the links are in my sidebar x:wave: If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain :wave:0 -

2 of the parking offenders in our road had a bump when one reversed into the other, I know it's naughty but I had a smile on my face all day
Rusty, it's great to have you back xxx
Mumoffour, I had a thought, you could contact local craft shops/online stores explaining what you are planning on doing and asking for stash dontations?:wave: If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain :wave:0 -
I'm fuming still at the moment Rainmac, it makes me sick that we paid good money to have a drive built and we cant use it. Unfortunately the mentaility of the people that live in this road is that they can park where they like. Our next door neighbour had the police out over it at the weekend, I can see it turning really nasty!
On a nicer note I think I am going to bite the bullet and buy a cuttlebug. However I have a question. I know you can get something called a nestability for the big shot to make say scalloped circles/squares in different sizes for layering on cards. However can you get something similar for the cuttlebug? I found this http://www.cuttingedgecrafts.co.uk/cart.php?target=product&product_id=18358&category_id=542 which seems to be the sort of thing, but I dont know the dimentions of the largest square in the set and whether it will be big enough ( I really want something about 3inch x 3 inch square.) Also I remember ages ago someone asked which embossing folders were used most. I know one of them was swiss dots, what other ones do people find the nicest?

What about here isn't this closer to you? They have a paper mill shop. It really doesn't take long to get there.
Were naughty we prob spend longer in eatting and drinking than shopping lol

We have the same problem, we live near a chippy and people constantly park across the drive, apparently you can ring the traffic warden if you want to get out, but not if you want to get in, does that make any sense, our wall keeps getting hit as well, and its a 10 foot gap so how they hit it is beyond me,
Rusty thank you so much for your kind offer how do I send you my address,
hello everyone else, so far my bedroom is a tip and I have made one card ( and watched last nights glee) I'm just loving the peace,
take careTake care Jo x0 -
