CraftyJuJu - Your jewellery makes are stunning - do they take you long - and are they hard to do???? I can't choose a favourite - they're all lovely.

Thankyou I've not really timed myself yet as I'm biting & bobing between the kiddies & the jewelley but I wouldn't say I find them hard to do...yet! lol One thing is though with the ones where I'm bending wire about my nails & fingers are suffering but its all worth it in the end! lol :rotfl:

I've just blogged some charm braclets I made this morning, I think I spent just over 2hrs doing them with Emilys help

Fab new Challange :T....got me thinking straight away...things begining with 'B', its great :j

CraftyJuJu - thanks for the info - I don't think I dare take up another hobby although after seeing your stuff I'm tempted. I bought loads of wool ages ago to start crocheting but its still sat in the bag. Love your charm bracelets too - those paris charms are fab!

Glittermum - Your "save the date" cards are gorgeous - love the butterflies!!!!!

CraftyJuJu - any chance of a children's turtle bracelet?

Thanks for the feedback on the save the date cards - the Martha Stewart punch is definitely my favourite crafty item at the moment -and butterflies definitely begin with 'b' don't they!

Glittermum - Absolutely beautiful! 'Save the date' cards.

Mumoffour - Well Done on your sale!

JHB - Sorry didn't find any space papers in my stuff to email you - I don't have little ones to make for any more so tend to pass them by!

"Calm down Thrifty, calm down :rotfl: - need to adopt icy, practicality to get this finished."

Thrifty - I agree, icy detachment is the best way to fill in those forms as that's how they've got to be looked at by the people who decide. (Is there space for you to put in your 2 penn'th privately or on, say, a separate note explaining that you've held back a bit out of respect for your son's feelings?)

Marg yes it was the newspaper card I was trying to do in publisher. I think we should persuade Helen to do a step by step guide for dummies:rotfl: everytime I ask DH he just says well you just have to play around and eventually you will get it right!! in other words Do it yourself!!!!:mad: He has gone flying today, 1st time since October!
