Tired Mom and Hassy- its this saturday at hobbycraft

Tired Mom - can you remember the make of carry-bag that was being discussed last week - Thanks

Sorry well and truly snipped you. I am about at the weekend so may be tempted to pop down, only prob is I am out at a 40th on Friday so don't know how late I'll me

Is it the table top bag you are talking about that Shirley had the large and the other lady the small? I was trying to remember as well and all I can is that it was intials and had A's and S's in.

Marg sorry to hear your eyes are still not quite right. Take good care they are so precious xx Thankyou for your concern over my niece but she has just had some good news from Scotts workplace, they have just awarded her a lovely cheque of almost 1 years salary and there is nothing his parents can do about it. They took his last months pay and holiday pay from her, can you believe such horible people!! They didn't even tell her about the Memorial Service!!

That's super news for your niece especially with her current job loss. You really would think that her In-Law's would want a realtionship with her and do all they could to help her in respect to their son. You can never understand some people but just have to accept that there are some very sad individuals out there who will only do something if it is for their benefit and not just because they get pleasure from other peoples joy.

Off to supervise setting up the Aqua Play outside, usually hubbies job so could be interesting.

Well Done Mr Rusty :T:T:T

Rusty - Hope your daughter has a great birthday, it falls on a bank holl weekend this yr so fingers crossed for super weather x

Hogshead - Super card, love it :T:D:T

OMG I can't beleave my eyes sometimes...no wonder the cats from across the road would rather spend it over at mine when the ladies grandson is throwing stones at them!! :eek: Also the stones are coming off my drive from the side of the house:eek: When I saw him come back for more I knocked on the window & said 'No more' & he just looked at me with a blank face as if to say 'what? whats wrong?!' He's not come back for more but if I see him again I'm going over to tell her...it propably make no difference though! Sos rant over....

Managed to finish the wedding day card invites yesterday :j just got to get on with the 75 night invites now I'm wanting to try making some necklaces too....need more time in the day!

Hope everyone is well & having the gorgeous sunshine....weather says its going to get hotter as the weekend gets closer...typical I'm doing over time on sunday! xXx

Sorry Juju, when I wrote 30th June I meant 30th May so I do have the right date It's a friend of mine's birthday today and she is having her 20 week pregnancy scan tomorrow, what a birthday present, they want to find out if it is a boy or a girl, makes me broody for another... but then I remember all the sleepless nights, nappies, all the washing... and funnily the broodiness stops

Flourgirl, did that really happen to your neice over her partner's salary, how horrendous! She has a life to rebuild. I will look out for the postie and you need to do the same x

Rusty, what are the Diego cards like? Hope you will share them on your blog

I should be thankful for what I have, one of each and both are beautiful!! .... OH found this page which is perfect for card makers who need them for younger children. I will share the diego cards, OH made the invites again which look like this

Congratulations Hassy and Skier

I've been out tidying the hedge this afternoon and one of the nasty stinging nettles got me on the thumb so it's all tingly hope it won't affect my crafting later but I have a flower arrangement to do first :eek: Not really my thing but decided that I would rather make a donation to charity than spend a fortune on a flower arrangement for the funeral tomorrow so am going for simple but effective plus I know there will be shedloads so they can hide my effort :rotfl:

Got some of my new stash today plus won a set of Penny Black stamps called Nine Lives to do place settings for my friends birthday. Am trying to resist another set but think I might give in in a mo.

Hugs to everyone who needs them and :j:j to everyone who's felling better has got stuff fixed or who just feels like it.
Back later - wish me luck need to get these flowers sorted before DD comes back in or she'll drive me potty trying to be helpful

TomsMom

Just popping on very quickly as I'm about to get the tea.

Skiergirl and Hassy - congrats.

Mr Rusty - well done :T. Rusty - I'm sure you'll do just as well when you're off your meds and can go back on your diet.

Right, the reason I came on was to just say that I went to order some more of those stamped Tilda images I had from ebay for my friend. The seller hadn't got any items on so I emailed her. Magnolia has complained and ebay are supposed to be stopping the sale of all stamped images. Hand stamped and hand coloured images can apparently be sold but not just stamped images. There are just a few sellers who still have images on ebay at the moment but they could all disappear very soon so if anyone is after them I'd jump in quick!
