I've ordered err one or two things this week and desperate for them to come today (or next week) and not tomorrow when OH is here

Tiredmom, hope your shoulder is ok xxx

Juju, hope you get your foot looked at, sounds so painful xxx

I am feeling a bit better today, head not quite so foggy, am sure it's hayfever and nothing more. Having my hair cut later, not sure whether to have a trim or get the lot chopped off???

Morning ladies - what about this gorgeous weather! I wanted to come on and rave about Crafts and Me and Sweet Pea stamps - I've blogged my latest buys! Just a bit scared to spoil them by colouring in now! If anyone wants any images let me knpw -they are so easy to stamp good ones I don't mind offering!

Good morning ladies!!! I know its not craft related at all but play have a bit of a sale on at the minute - some half price toys - I managed to buy a few last night ready to put away for xmas, my OH's family is soooo big that I have to start really early!

PepPop - hope you feel better soon.

Dragonllew - I'm glad your card arrived safely!

Rainmac - I managed to time my orders really well last week - I had 4 orders turn up on Monday when OH was out!!! Glad to hear you're feeling better.

Glittermum - those stamps are gorgeous!!!

Glittermum such beautiful stamps!

One of the best things about working is having stash delivered here instead of home. Mind you, once I've got it in my sticky paws I want to go home immediately and play.

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?"

I got 2 packs!!! I stood with one pack in my hand for a few minutes but thought it was too good to not buy two lol - such beautiful colours, I was thinking about all the butterfly easel cards I could make!!!

Good morning everyone,

What a beautiful day!! I love the sunshine makes me feel happy even though the heat kills me lol.
Anyway, I printed off all of my Ben's and have cut my tag's out from green card. So I have to colour the Ben's and stick them on. I have punched a hole at the top of the tag.

Can I have your opinion/advice on the layout please?

Green tag, Ben10 picture - should I stick it flat or put foam on the pic to raise it?

Should I write the child's name (who is being invited) under the picture?

On the back will be the date, time, venue etc should I write this or stamp it? Thing is I cannot find my piggin' invite stamp!!!!! Grrrrr... Any ideas where I could get one ASAP?

The punched hole at the top of the tag I was going to put black ribbon through.

So what do you think, is it too much? Thank you!!!!!

Glad you're feeling a bit better. Having a haircut will help as well, well I always find it does. Thankfully my Craftwork order arrived this morning so that has been squirreled away!

I'd just like to say how pleased I was with the service. I emailed them first thing yesterday as I was a bit concerned that I wouldn't receive the order in time to make my wedding card. I only ordered late Monday night and realised they say to allow five working days to dispatch. Anyway they emailed back to say they would look my order out, I then get another email to say it had been dispatched and it has arrived this morning so I am very happy.

Thanks just ordered one of the nerf guns DS deperately wants and some extra bullets, will be his school report reward (as long as it's a good one). Don't forget to go through Quidco as well.

I personally would put the Ben 10 on foam squares and put the child's name underneath.

I was thinking you could get a digi stamp for the invite but don't think that will work as you have already cut the tags out. If you can't find your invite stamp I personally would write them. You could always do it along the line of your mission, should you choose to accept it is at: on: etc

However you do them I'm sure they will look fab and please post finished pics on here so we can all see them.

Must dash, just finishing lunch and then it's school and CATS app.

Omg they are stunning! Could I be really cheeky and ask for a few stamped images if you don't mind? I've got lots of Anya's or i've got the new Greeting Farm Roll Call stamps (lots of males) that I can stamp in return for you? x

Haha very true I get everything delivered to work! My colleagues are always curious about what i'm ordering but at least it stops my Mum asking what i've ordered now then saying I already have way to much lol x
