Rainmac, I have tried to post a comment but I can't do it. Do I need a Blog to post a comment?

Yep I think craftygranny is right about needing a blog to post comments on blogs, sorry

Well what an eventful day considering our house only went on market last friday weve had an offer!! It was 20k under asking so obviously we refused and went out househunting came home and they upped there offer by 10K - so its a great first week:j:j
I think we may be gearing to the first house we saw (and revisited today) in Thornbury - lovely location and not a bad price and a lovely big craft room!! Is a project that will take a bit of working out but we were there quite a while today working things out. :eek:
Have sent you my address Chocolate.orange but you really will have to go through our estate agents its online if you want to view lol:rotfl:

I popped to the Range for some ribbon today, and came home with the DOcrafts goody bag. It's full of the Henbury Lane paper and stuff (the ones that I used on my never ending card). I don't usually buy these beacause even at the reduced price there's not enough in there that I'd use - but as I was going to get more paper anyway I was more than happy to take advantage! There are also some lush felt (very fine) die cut butterflies in pinks and purples.

I got that goody bag the other day from craft superstore, everything in it is sooo gorgeous I thought it was very bargainous for £14.99! like you, I dont usually buy them either but thought everything in this one was fab! the stamp is very pretty, I used it the other day on a 70th birthday card

been finishing off the garden today - at last! we've lived here 3 years and it#s taken that long to get from a patch of mud to what it is now - finished!! I'm so relieved it's finally done and in the unlikely event I go out there in future it will be nice to know i wont be walking dirt into the house I did the fence paining with my mum and SIL and my DH, brother and dad put a load of gravel and slate down, plus a weed membrane to stop the weeds coming through! I;m well and truly exhausted and have nothing planned for the rest of the evening apart from slobbing in front of the TV with my laptop lol

scatty - when does the challenge end? I do want to enter but quite literally havent had a spare minute this week yet :eek: if i've not been at work or doing housework any crafting I've been doing has been for orders, mind you not that I'm complaining, if I didn't get orders I wouldnt be able to buy as much stuff! just wish OH would let me give up work and craft full time yeah like thats gonna happen lol

Yoo Hoo Ladies!!! back from our hols and am absolutely shattered - need another holiday to recover:rotfl:!!! Hope you are all well - have missed you all - a week without computer going cold turkey is a nightmare:eek:. Anyway, too tired to go back over the 23 pages I have missed so will start afresh from here and will go for a blog hop later - (((hugs))) to those that need them and congrats to any winners will hopefully be back in the swing of things properly tomorrow after approx 27 loads of washing and ironing (and I still hadn't packed enough and an emergency knicker shop was needed:eek:- ooh hope that wasnt too much information:D) - aargh!! Am itching to get back crafting. xxx
