Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

Hassy

Evening ladies.. new batteries now in my key board and so far so good...

Lizalloareds welcome to the thread...
DTB Sorry you are struggling with your back... can you remember how you hurt it?
Tired mom That is a large increase in your promarkers.. Where are you storing them at the moment? Mine are in an empty shoebox, but I need to sort them out a bit better because I am rummaging around.. I also keep them in their original packaging, but they fall out and go all over the place.
Is it Craftygranny who bought boxes for them from poundland? I seem to remember sometime ago discussions on the storage.. ??

Pointofnoreturn - the stuff did arrive really quickly!!!! I ordered loads of the sample packs of the 2.5 cms roses - they were quite big. They charge postage per item ordered - so the sample roses were 7p postage per unit, the 50 pack of flowers were 50p postage per unit. I ordered quite a big selection - I ended up spending about £13 - and £23.50 of that was the postage HTH.

At the moment I only have the 13 so they are in a plastic really useful box that I had. I have had notification of despatch so I'm hoping they'll arrive when OH not about and then I can time my introduction of them :rotfl:I really like the idea of using the dvd rack but don't really have anywhere to put it so I think for the time being they will be in a bigger really useful box. I was so tempted to get some more as such a good price, they work out at 0.948p each but decided not to be so greedy and I really need to get some stamps as have very few.

I am off to bed as have long day tomorrow. DD's friend coming in the morning, which at times can be rather trying as her friend is quite fiesty. Then have appointment in the afternoon at the Clinical Assessment Treatment Service to try and find out what is wrong with my shoulder, only had to wait 2.5 weeks for app which is far better than hospital waiting lists, only problem is you have no idea how long you will be there for. Out in the evening for my friends 40th so think it could be a late one. I am taxi though so at least I won't have to contend with a hangover as well.

Night all X

craftyJuJu Hope you're feeling better today after your doc visit yesterday.

ct19720 Congrats on your sales :T

Sorry guys I've still not caught up but I need to go to me bed - I'm startin to flag. Been feeling carp for the last few days, been off work too - which ain't like me .

Marg before I go get my Horlicks can I ask a quick question - do you want me to write your card or leave it blank (I've never done a card swap before and I'm not too sure what to do)? I'll check on here tomorrow before i put it in the post.

Night all

Marg

CraftyJuju - I'd go to docs regardless it should be going down by now.

Peppop - Thank you for asking I'm happy either way! I've usually had them signed. Do you have any preference for yours when I get round to doing it? I'm hoping it will be soon as I know what I want to do.

Wasn't me i got some metal three drawer units from the range for mine. I have two sets of the poundland style drawers in red that i found lurking in the craft room if you can make use of them. I never used them but took the wrapper off cos it was dusty. :rotfl:

Yep every crafts a pound goes to ally pally they do the nec too. postage is a bit pricey but based on the prices of the stuff elsewhere it was worth it. I did spend over 20 quid though. It's literally just down the road from where i used to live and where alicia lives so i may pop in too.

Oh I'm very late tonight. I've just finished a major blog hop as I didn't do one last night. I think I've visited everyone and left comments.

I got some lovely cardboard in Lidl today - it is in a pack of 25 sheets and it is 270g so really sturdy. There are 25 different colours including pastel and brights and it is £1.99 a pack. The pack says 'Coloured Paper' on it but it is lovely thick card inside!! They are open so you can see what you are getting.

I got some of that card yesterday, great value and lovely card. Now I'm thinking "Should I have bought two as it was such good value?"

After a busy day mainly to do with the garden, I just about managed to finish my CP card swap card. Craftygranny I'll be posting it tomorrow.

I'm off to bed now, too late for me!

PepPop - Hope you feel better soon.

Crafty - I really would get your ankle looked at today, do you have a minor injuries unit at your local hospital as that would be better than GP is as they can xray if necessary.

Why is it when you have a really busy day and a late night out planned your children decide you only need 5 hours sleep, and on top of that that lovely monthly visitor has arrived, I think I'm going to be hitting the coffee.

Oh that's fine - I'll sign it then. I just wasn't sure what I should be doing. Please sign mine I think that would be nicer.
