Just a quick catch up.

Well done on your sales Gemm and Crafty JuJu.

Great Strawberry creation Dragonllew.

So glad your cards and stash swaps arrived safely Lei and Crafty JuJu - your swap cards arrived today Julie, and it is fab - can I ask where the decoupage and backing papers are from?

JHB - hope you are feeling better soon.

Sorry, can't remember anything else, had a busy day sorting the house out, running errands, and walking 3km in preparation for the 5k i've been signed up to do in June with some friends.

I'll catch up on the thread properly at the weekend, OH is away and the boys are at parties so will have loads of time to craft . Been making cards for the car boot I want to do next weekend done 10 want to do another 20 and hopefully they will sell. Will blog them over the weekend.

Take care

I know this is been posted before - but who does the do crafts magazine with free delivery - I must have deleted my email from when I ordered before. I wasnt going to order this month - but it sounds like there is some nice things in so will have to order one.

Here you go Ali. Be quick though, they sell out very quickly.

Just got back from my night out with my friend, having a quick flick through the posts then will blog hop, I might be able to blog my card now.

Just finished catching up on todays post and intend to put Flourgirl's good advice into practise tonight & go to bed early but just one or two things to say first.

Dragonllew - Your crafty ribbon makes are absolutely fantastic and I'm delighted to have a couple of your cards on my mantlepiece. I'm flattered that Aimee liked the card I sent you, I have more fairies if she'd like some.

JHB - Hope you feeling better very soon. I hate honey too! Yes, I for one think we have improved our cardmaking skills I know I have improved though I still feel I'm way behind most of you. What has improved I think for all of us is our ability to spend money:rotfl::rotfl:

The current challenge ends on Sunday evening - I'll post a list tomorrow of the entries I've got logged so far.

Good morning all

Up at silly o'clock!!!

I have joined a lot of facebook groups last night......WOW WOW WOW....some of the stuff is amazing!!

I ordered tim holt papers and the craft magazine, that has a free CD....and it was free postage!! Thank you for the link!

I have a craft fair tomorrow am....and I know I will be up late tonight preparing for it....but hey ho!!

My Aunt was not feeling great yesterday....and had to be given oxygen...she is going to another hospital on Monday....so im sure the tests the hospital preform will tell a tale!!


In the past 24 hours I have sold 2 nappy cakes.....and im hoping for more sales tomorrow...(loads made up and wrapped!!) Then I can get some new stuff in and get creating!! :rotfl:.......who first warned me about the spendy elves??

DHL didnt deliver my goodies yesterday....when i rang to say that i had spent ANOTHER day in the house they said we are sorry but the vans had an extra 1000 packages to get out........mine wasnt one of them....I asked for a complaints form and will be getting on to my supplier in a couple of hours to ask them to request compensation...(I paid for delivery within 48 hours) and DHL said I couldnt claim compensation!! GRRRRRR Plus I have another package that is to be delivered from them and its sitting in manchester terminal!!....:(

Good morning all, let's hope it's another sunny day.
I think I've joined all the fb pages that have been linked on here. I really need to start maing more stuff for my craft fair in June - if I have lots left over then I think I might set up shop.
mumoffour - I forgot to pass on my best wishes for your aunty last time. Where on earth do you get all of your energy from? You just seem to fit in so much. Well done you x

I'm tempted to double dose on the ab's and painkillers today - I'm supposed to be seeing a guy tonight who I met last weekend. Just my bloomin' luck, meet a guy and then get ill!!! I have to walk the dogs as well this morning. My dad has been driving over all week, but he phoned last night to say that his throat has started to hurt. I hope he's not caught it from me. :eek: I usually try to avoid my dad when I'm ill, I think I'm a bit over-protective since he had his heart attack 12 years ago.

I'm glad to hear I still have time for the wings challenge. I might have a go today to take my mind off my throat and earache. Positive thinking - I am not ill, I am not ill, lol.

Hope everyone has a lovely day.
