Hogshead - Thank you so much for the leaves they are lovely and so many in pretty colours! I'm looking forward to using them.

Rainmac - your lovely ATC and pretty card arrived this morning - Thank you! I know what I want to do for your ATC just need a bit of time to actually do it! Will try over the weekend.

Flourgirl - Welcome back! What did you think of my lovely county? I hope you liked it. I'm following your new blog.

It's not been a good day here, had to go to work, computer there was being silly, I've now got to go again tomorrow and I wanted to play. Then tonight I went out with some girlfriends for a meal and chatty catch up and asked my best friend why she was having to do lunch at her work on Friday 'It's not as if it's anyones birthday' I said then realised it's because it's her birthday!!!:o:o Oh dear, I'm losing the plot big time. I knew it was her birthday 'cos I'd set aside tomorrow to do her card!

Thanks Marg, we had a really nice time. Up on the hills the scenery is breathtaking. Don't think we wil be taking the caravan though, its a bit steep and winding even though we tow with a Land Rover! We have been watching re-runs of Born and Bred and it was filmed in a little village/ hamlet called Downham, its a really pretty place and the view of Pendle hill from the church is fab. I will put piccies on my blog today.

Oh dear!! your poor friend, good job you remembered her birthday in the end. I think you need to get up and go to bed in the same day for a while lol. Now me... I don't always know what day it is let alone the date! nor do I wear a watch!!

DH has gone on a BOF'S day out today, they have gone to Bletchley Park, so that means a lovely day to myself I think it will be a quick clean up and then craft. Might print some papers out on his printer while hes out cos mine is running out of ink!!

Well they are flying out of Doncaster again today, one just gone passed the window:eek: looked like a Wizz Air, probably to Poland somewhere. Oh well better make a start..... catch up later.....

Oooh Well Done Gemm

I will have to have a look at your facebook shop

Still here....

Sorry Jailhousebabe I missed your post I do hope you are feeling better later today once the tablets have kicked in. Doctors just don't listen sometimes, and I'm sure sometimes when you go to see them they are already thinking about the next patient coming through the door instead of giving you their full attentions and you come out thinking to yourself Well that was a waste of my time!! Make sure you have lots of warm fluids xx

Gemm Brilliant news!! Well done xx

Morning all.

JGB - Hope you get better soon, if you can't manage the tablets give your doctor a call and ask for liquid form? at least for the antibiotics maybe?

Gemm well done! How did you do the sales thingy through facebook? Something I really should do for my nappy cakes just as an extra!

Back later need to take DS to school and DD thinks she is the queen of the world and has been sat on her potty for the last 15 mins!! :mad: she won't get off it!!

thanks rusty. didn't work though:( oh says need to uddate the software. does anyone know how to do this? I found some free files and they worked ok so don't understand why software is good enough for some files not others

Bunbun try phoning graphtec themselves, apparently it's a very good help line, explain the situation of it being second hand etc and see if they can help. (sorry I don't have the number:o)

Catch-up, wifey!!!!!!!!!

Carmim - How best do I save your Tilda images, I know I need to do something with my photobucket account so that I can then resize them..

Hi ,sorry its taken so long to get back to you. To be honest i dont know how to resize using photobucket! I open mine in a cardmaking programme i have and resize everything there. No help to you whatsoever sorry, im sure one of the brilliant ladies on here will be much more help than me

Oooh well done Gemm!!! :j:j:j Fabbo news!

Could you tell me how you set up the shop please? I'd like to set one up on my Butterfly Meadow Fan Page but can't see quite how to do it!!!

CraftyJuJu - I had mean't to say that if you're printing to remember to charge for ink!! I think you're probably undercharging - Choccy's right they will take longer than you think - I know thats what I found when I did them and I definitely undercharged but wouldn't make that mistake again because I found it quite laborious (sp?!!) and boring to do and it worked out less than minimum wage!!! Please make sure you do charge appropriately - you need to time how long it takes each stage of making one & then times by 25 for the day invites and by 75!!! for the evening ones - it really will be longer than you think!! Good luck!
