Snipped sorry

WBR - I would say that is definately a musical card.

I'm not going to enter this card into the musical challenge as I feel it would kinda be cheating as I saw the image on Flourgirls' card and haven't really had to put too much thought into the card IYSWIM?? not sure that I'm making sense, but can't think how else to put it!:o

Hi everyone
I've been considering becoming a Stamping Up demonstrator, is anyone else here one? I love the products, so I might do it...I just need that final push!

Am setting up a blog at the minute, and will post my first make later

Sorry snipped you.

You need to consider what you want out of it I think. The Stampin Up demonstrator I go to I don't think makes a huge amount of commission and certainly spends it. If you just want to be able to go out and meet people and don't mind that you may end up spending more than you make it probably is a good thing to do. If you want to do it as a source of income then you need to have a real think about the realistic levels of income you can expect, also would you need to go self employed with all the added implications of that?

Sorry if I've not been any help it is probably things you've already considered. I know what you mean about the products though they are wonderful aren't they.

Off to do quick blog hop then bed. Rusty you take care of yourself and stop over doing it.

If peeps get the chance can they please check I am following their blogs. Blogger seems to have got rid of some of the blogs I was following for example Wanna-b-rich wasn't showing on my reading list and had dissappeared off my blog list. Bunbun is another one but now my computer has gone slow so I can't comment on yours, sorry, will try again in the morning.

Really am off to bed now. X

I am glad your afternoon tea went really well..I hope your ds feels better now.
Rusty Sorry to read that you are really suffering today, after your shopping in Boundary Mill. I think the idea of a radley bag card and purse are lovely.. Do you still have the zimmer or have you given that back now? minus ribbons of course...
I do hope the acupuncture works for you.. hopefully the next session should work better for you..

Part 2..
I didn't want my last lot to disappear when posting it..
Choccy Your Robo is going to be really jealous of the new cricut on the block!!! Not only is it out of the box, it has been USED!!!
I hope your leg is feeling better now?
Farmville welcome.. :wave:
Ponr Hope your relative got on ok at the hospital today.
Tiredmom Did you get your outfit from The Lowry?
Jowri Hope your OH is ok and hope you have a fab birthday tomorrow.. :j
Tomsmom What are you feeding your veg??? When did you start growing them? They sound like triffids!!! In the nicest possible way.. Glad the windows and steps are finished now.. and the weather has been nice for you too..
Saucy Sorry you are suffering at the moment.. hope you feel better soon..
Dragonllew Hope you are feeling better too..
Crafty Wow!! A car bed..... BRILL!!!
Skiergirl Fancy me getting the day for the Hobbycraft opening mixed up.. I wouldn't mind, I put it on here!!! I tell you this fresh air isn't doing me any good.. maybe the ash is falling and affecting me??

There, think that's it... I have blog hopped over the past couple of days, but I need to do it again by the sounds of it, comments have been put on the blogs.. wonderful and creative makes ladies..

The garden is not far off finished now.. hoooorah!!
I reckon a couple more days should crack it.. It is like starting from new... even though we have lived here for 21 years, the major overhaul last year has meant starting again.. I have heard that it is going to rain tomorrow.. that would do the garden and me some good in all honesty.. it will be an excuse for me not to be in the garden and I won't feel guilty, plus it will help water in the plants and the new veg I have put in.. next year I am going to be a lot more organised and do more stuff from seed and cuttings.. that 's the aim anyway...

ChocOrange & Lei - I've popped your orders in the post for you today. I'm trying out new ways of packaging the jewellery so I would love your views when you receive them Thankyou so much again x

My bag charm arrived today thank you it's gorgeous and looks fab on my grey handbag (photo on my blog)! The packaging was lovely and an extra special touch - it was like opening a present lol x

I don't know if any of you remember but a little while ago people asked where The Wife got some gorgeous birdy papers from. They were from 12" x 12" DCWV Stack 6 (the guitar paper on my challenge entry are also from this) which is currently on sale at WHSmiths for £11.99.

I'm with the rest of you that are very not broody. I see friends that are pregnant and think thank goodness I'm through that. Babies are absolutely gorgeous and I love them but also love the giving back part even more!

Oh no don't there's so many gorgeous babies around at the moment - my friend has just had the cutest baby girl ever, my work mate brought her baby boy into work today and two of my friends at work are pregnant too! Seriously makes me broody and I don't have the experience to be put off but luckily i'm sensible and know not to get pregnant for a few years yet at least lol x

funny cause I said to OH that I would have invited you lot if you all lived nearer!!!

Agreed flourgirl, we could always keep choccy in business though?

Right question time I have pretzel bags 2"x9" and I have green, blue and orange smarties, how to I keep the topper attatched to the top of the bag and also how is best to roll the top down on the bag? do I use a stapeler and then glue dots?? (Maybe Flourgirl could help as you have made loads!)

Hi Rusty before i got my bag sealer i used to roll over the top stick that with tap and then put a tag over that but used double sided tape to stick that on to the bag i never use a stapler as i thought the young ones might cut there self's on the staples trying to open it
