craftygranny

DTB Glad to hear you arrived back safely.

Sadly i can't resist promarkers and now just need the gold mettalic . My promarkers from angel crafts arrived this morning . Thank you. I managed to sneak all 50 of them in but then he caught me putting them all away. He just stood laughing and said busted mrs you only had 6 drawers full now you seem to have 9 . oops

mary op some frames , papers etc at this site

not sure if the ones in these sets would be what you want . you need to scroll down and they are all free.

Mary this is a family tree set you print out the tree and put names etc on the leaves that you add seperately. Might be too late to use this though if you've already done lots of work. Free too.

Sally thats awful he sounds a real sweetheart .

Hi sorry to post & run Just posted my bargins of the day from our day out on my blog if you want a nosy (http://craftyjuju.blogspot.com/2010/04/ive-been-shopping-today.html)

Alex has suddenly become ill this afternoon, can't stop caughing & he's gone to bed early which is'nt like him! I'm hoping he gets over it by tomo, he's only 5 but he's not one for you helping him he just seems to get more stressed & cough more....nearly enough to make him sick!
Hopefully we should get some sleep tonight! x

I was dead excited to be having a table at a ladies night evening at a private school. There was i thinking i could up my prices a bit but after having an initial email saying they were going to get back to me, i haven't heard a thing! It's so rude even if i am not what they want at their evening, they should email be back. I don't have anything made up for it at least so nothing will go to waste.

on the plus i have been offered another one but again i am not so sure they will want me when they find out i sell nappy cakes as it's a arts festival and it isn't seen as a craft or art.

I am hoping to get some cards done this week as hubby is away from home at uni. You may find me on here more too as it does seem a long lonely week when he goes.

I have booked tickets for a max papercraft show next weekend so i hope to get some bargains.

I made a chocolate cake yesterday, I will have to blog it. Bang goes the diet.

Ooh nearly forgot about the wingschallenge - sadly my life has been short of them recently and airplanes don;t work without them.
Luckily I had a half finished scrapbook page that I've completed to enter into the challenge - hope this is ok as it's not strictly speaking a card. Piccie here

Louby-lou, there was a discussion on tv the other day about what is the difference between art and craft. Well, me personally I think any sort of crafting is art, so give me a pile of nappies a teddy and a blanket and I couldn't make something as gorgeous as your nappy cakes. But give me a hat, feathers, flowers and veiling and I can create a work of art. I think sometimes it's snobbery, they are calling the works of Banksy, the graffiti artist "art" now. ( I do like some of his stuff) Dont get started on her with the mucky bed, yeuch!!! To think I pay my taxes to buy that.

If they turn you down give 'em a loud raspberry from me.

My thoughts are with you at this time, my DS's have not seen or heard from their (for want of a alternative word) "dad" for over 20 years! Mine were just 2 and 6 months old which i think was a blessing as they dont remember him.
Anyhow im rambling on, really just want to give you my support for your troubles, and to tell you Chin Up, Head High, Dont Let The Bast**d Get You Down

Sally - (((Hugs))) sorry to read of your ongoing problems - not sure if there's anything I could usefully do but I'm here if you need me and as Carmin said
"Chin Up, Head High, Dont Let The Bast**d Get You Down"

JHB - so glad you sound better - hope you feel it too.

DTB & craftygranny - entries noted.

Mary-Op - hope you have a lovely holiday! Where are you going? (maybe you've gone by now)

CraftyJuju - hope DS feels better tomorrow, there still seems to be a lot of coughs & bad throats about, my super fit brother is having his second bout in almost as many weeks!
