Mad-Frog - I am seriously addicted to CC designs stamps, plus I like Paper MakeUp's stamps - especially their fairies! Then there's the gorjuss girls stamps by Sugar Nellie and all of Lili of the Valley stamps - especially their boys ones.

Craftygranny - did Carly say why she was moving the slats - I wonder where she thought she was going to sleep????

Lei-Armstrong - no problem - I'm going to try and get some stamping done tonight, (fingers crossed) - my new stamps arrived today so I've got loads to do!

Rainmac - I'm glad to hear that DS is feeling better - must be all that TLC from you!

Hogshead - fab newspaper card - I love the "UB50" idea - very clever!!!!

Rusty - sorry for the confusion - its this stamp I was on about - a sneak peak of LOTV's new releases. Love your Diego invites!!!

TiredMom - your Stampin Up cards are gorgeous - I think the monkey one is my favourite!! I got in touch yesterday with my local on e- I'm thinking of ordering a catalogue from her. I noticed they do hold classes - although not that often - but I don't think I could go anyway - they're all at 8 o'clock at night.

Love your invites Rusty, and thanks to your OH for finding the link, my 4 year old loves Dora & Diego & Peppa so I have bookmarked that. Will you be posting pics of your wee bags? They sound fab?

I love doing the children's party's, I really resent paying £10+ per head for burger, chips, fruitshoot & a measley party bag. I love making the invites, old fashioned party games & making the gifts where possible.

Perhaps I am just sad lol!!

Love your card Hogshead too, very unusual

Just catching up on the last couple of days, so congratulation on winning the Rusty challenge Skiergirl and Hassy.
Rainmac – hope your little boy is feeling better today
Well done to Rusty on braving the Acupunture – fingers crossed it works and gives you the pain relief you need. Also, well done to Rusty’s OH on his weight loss – this is such a fantastic amount in such a short space of time.
What fab photos of Elliott Melissa – simply adorable. My oldest is on the trip to the Isle of Wight until Friday, and although it is odd not having him here we are really enjoying quality time with our youngest, who is wrapping us around his little finger!
Good luck with the house hunting Scatty Jane. Hope you find something really soon.
Marg – sorry you are still suffering a bit with your eyes, hope they improve soon.
Fantastic card Hogshead – your friend is sure to love it.
Just managed to blog a couple of girly pink butterfly cards that I needed to make for an order.

Better go and put youngest DS to bed, and then will catch up on blogs.

Rusty I would fill the pretzel bag turn over the top and just stick with sellotape then sandwich the top inbetween a folded nestie label you could either staple or use DST to attatch to the bag. When the postie has been tomorrow it should be more clear

Thankyou, I have to admit, I trimmed off the bottom of the bag you sent to me last time as I couldn't bear to touch the prettyness of the top!! I will have to have a play. I have sat and printed out 5 different pictures 30 times :eek:

Ooooh I missed him, but it says there are 4 new boys in total so think I will be buying all of the new ones even though the latest new ones are still unused but that is cause I am ill.

I will be posting so many pictures you will be sick of the sight of them :rotfl: is your 4 yr old a girl or boy? mine is nearly 3, last year she was into little einsteins, and you couldnt get anything over here so bought from the US this year I gave up so just got simple things. But she got put off einsteins when we got some DVD's from asda and she refused to watch them as the voices were different :eek: how a 2 yr old knew!!! .... she loves all the same as your little one but also ben and hollys little kingdom, I am regularly Nanny Plum!

Ooh Nanny Plum Rusty!!!! Is it just me or do you think The Wise Old Elf is just a tad sarcastic to Nanny Plum??? Lol!!! Love Ben & Holly, wish they would hurry up and get some bits out, little books etc. My 4 year old is a girl, and loves them too. She figured out that The Wise Old Elf was Grandpa Pig's voice and that Nanny Plum was Rebecca Rabbit's mummy from Peppa!!!! Scary how smart they are :eek:

I won't tire of seeing your pics, I can't wait I love seeing everyone's creation's :T

Skiergirl

Rusty - fab invites :T

CT - gorgeous girlie cards :T

Tired Mom - fab cards, I'm not showing mine

Does anyone have or know of a canvas type holdall that you can store craft bits in. They have pockets round the side and come in different sizes but are small enough to sit on a desk. Sorry its a bit of a vague description :rotfl:

:rotfl: yup we had discovered the voices aswell .... wish they would make some more episodes, there is only so many times a girl can watch Nanny Plun turn the dolls from blue to red!!

They do a Ben and hollys little library, a magnetic book and there was something else aswell book wise all of them in tescos book section. DD had the mini library immediately but I put the other 2 away for her birthday and you can occasionally get really cheap things on front of magazines which always amuses my DD

Not managed to start the cards tonight as hoped, I am in too much pain, think I overdid it walking round boundary mill.... but the good thing was that I didn't buy any craft stash, nor did bunbun!

Are these totes any good?? scroll down to the green ones called project totes? you could probably find them cheaper but I knew I had seen them there!
