Aww BunBun poor you ((Hugs)) I hope your DH rubs your head for you tonight and spoils you, hope you feel better tomorrow x

Just sat waiting for the garage to ring to say my car is fixed, its all go today 3 lots of visitors and family coming for tea. I told them to let themselves in and start cooking tea if we are not back from the garage!! Then DH is having his haircut at 7pm!! Have to have his pudding later. Carte D`Or is on BOGOF at Sainsburys

Flourgirl - Thankyou Its always nice to find out its not just you when it comes to fainting over this I have deep veins so I don't seem to like giving any! lol

Thankyou about my box & charms I decided to try bag charms as I had so spare bits of chain left over but onceI did one I wanted to do more! I didn't follow any instructions just went with the flow. I attached the chain 1st, I did 1 length & then attatched 2 different lengths of chain to that. I then put on the charms & began to put beads on like I would on a charm bracelet. I think I got a little carried away a little with this bit...just kept adding beads...had to stop myself! lol Hope this helps you & makes sense!? I was surprised that each took over an hour, I thought they'd be quick bits to do! lol
I want to try necklaces next..maybe later when the kiddies are in bed, I can't keep feeling sorry for myself... lifes too short! x

Sorry everyone again for my moaning today, promise no more, I'm usually a person who keeps all her troubles to herslef (which hubby tells me off for!) but today I felt I needed to, thanks for being here, your all so lovely xXx

Bunbun - "hugs" hope your feeling better soon xXx

Flourgirl - meant to say 'oooohhh Swarovski crystals' I've not used any of those yet, where do you get yours from, hope you don't mind me asking? x

Right better get on with making tea....back later x

Glad you got your parcel Rusty could only manage a few Bs though sorry lol!
Why does most of my stuff arrive when OH is home I got 2 of my Ebay stamp bargains plus my bookmark from Flourgirl (thank you ever so it's perfect) and the stuff I ordered with my Nutcrafters voucher - will take a pic of it all when the rest arrives and he's out :rotfl:

Funeral went off ok although it felt a bit wrong as she was only 42 - looked good though as everyone was wearing pink - there must have been nearly 300 people there the village must have been empty

Emptied my jingle jar this morning thought there was about £15 in there - was £37 so I bought some more Penny Black stamps. plus it will have paid for the WHSmith paper :rotfl:

Sorry you're feeling carp crafty - I can only give blood out of one arm for some reason and them things in the back of your hand are a complete no no! Feel free to moan we all do it and very well my OH would say

Feeling fed up now - just 'lost' my post I'd typed up!!! TUT TUT!! anyway will try again tomorrow as need to get on with other bits now!

But just to say Rusty glad you're home and feeling better - there is a card on its way to you I was just remiss at adding my name to the list!

Crafty JuJu - have commented on your blog love your new packaging and key charm! sorry you've had a bit of a bad day tho!

And did someone mention Swarovski crystals? Ooooooooh LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!! I'm such a pink/blingy girl really I am!!! If it gets mentioned where you bought them Flourgirl I may just have to buy some even though I don't make jewellery! oooh maybe I'll be like Gemma and have to start just so I can buy more stash that way!!

Hoping to update my blog soon with photos of my craft room which has now been christened my 'Dolly Room' - I LOVE it soooo much - hadn't realised quite how much stash I had tho so its definitely taking longer than I thought to sort it all but its nearly there - spent some time yesterday prettying up my bisley cabinet which hubby painted pink about a month ago!! it now has pretty butterflies & flowers on but just needs labels...

also popped to my local British Bookshop which stocks some craft bits and they had a sale on so it would've been rude not to buy some bits - did end up spending about £50 tho EEK!!! Although I actually saved myself £60!! YAY! Bought a Crafter's portable lamp for £19.99 rrp £49.99 and a Crop-o-dile Corner Chomper for £12.49 instead of £24.99! Fabba-dabba-dooooooo

Forgot to add - sorry you're feeling rubbish Bunbun - I've noticed things disappear off funky kits and then pop back as if by magic - maybe it happens when they go out of stock **shruggy smiley thingy** (I so miss that one)

Afternoon everyone!

Happy Birthday Jowri!!!!!:D

I got my card!!! Thank you for telling me about PaperMill, I closed my eyes though to everything else so only spent £4.99
Did anyone else order the Promarkers from Hobbycraft the other night? I never got an email from them confirming my order and I emailed them this morning too and got no reply :think:

Hope you are all well?

Ohh Scatty that sound positive will keep my fingers crossed for you,

Thanks to whoever posted about WH Smith, I went into their store in town today and all the craft stuff was buy1 get 2nd half price so I did and spent 46.50!!!!!!! mind you that did include 2 pairs of Fiskars scissors mine where long overdue for replacing. I have warned OH that somthing very precious will be chopped off if I catch him using them.
I bought the DCWV Blossoms and Butterflies paper pack and the "Sweet" stack both are lush and may just go in the "I don't love anyone enough to use them" drawer
