I've just re-read my post and it sounds like me and my famiy are all crazy, we're really not, we're all very serious and sane, honestly x

CraftyJuJu, maybe that lady was having an off day? It's certainly strange behaviour and not very nice. I wouldn't worry about it, she's the one with the problem, certainly not you x

CraftyJuju - that lady probably feels you are going to tread on her toes selling stuff in work. She didn't handle it well and has ended up making you feel awkward. If you do feel like talking to her about it then it might be worth just saying that you like to try your hand at different things but you respect that she may already be selling these thing in your workplace so you will only sell this particular item to non workfriends. If she is still shirty after you saying this then stuff her and make sure you do sell it in the workplace!!!!

It was very silly of her to delete you from FB though.

Whoops - I meant to say that this page has some good advice about using promarkers on an image and there is an image there that you can nab as well!!!

Also there is a great video tutorial here for using a blender.

scatty Jan Happy belated Birthday

Gemm glad you went to your doctors hope you feel better soon

nici glad you are feeling better

Crafty JuJu The lady at work obviously feels threatened by your work, I take it that your work might be slightly better than hers!

Melissa hope you have a good time at the zoo

I am thinking of doing a scrapbook of animals, we have been on a few nature/scuba diving holiday recently and most of my photographs are of animals rather than people, not sure what papers I should use though.. Does anyone have any idaes?

Am off to the garden centre, there is a craft shop in the one near me in Derby so no doubt I will have a quick look in there too

We had a great time yesterday at Chester Zoo - it was a bit hot for me though - I suppose I shouldn't moan - at least it wasn't raining!!!! They've got a new butterfly house there which I loved - it was soooo busy though!

Rusty - I do love Chester Zoo - my Dad was always taking us to Zoos - I love London and Whipsnade zoos! Have you been to "the deep" in Hull - I fancy going there but I think its a bit too far for us!

The-Wife - naughty, naughty!!!!!

ScattyJan - a belated happy birthday!!! Sounds like you had a lovely day!!!!!! Congratulations on your win!!!

Rainmac - My Mum loves Cath Kidston stuff - they sell Cath's mugs, stationary sets, diaries and address books on amazon - they're quite cheap too. Glad to hear that you like your Big Shot - doesn't it scare you though every time it makes that cracking noise - I always think I've broken it!!!! I definately need some more nesties!!! Your card is fabulous by the way - I've made a note of the fab sketch and don't worry I don't think you're crazy!!!!

Glittermum - your notelet sets are gorgeous, I especially love the ladybird stamp!!! Your DS' card is fabulous too!!!!

Kelly-Lou - your DD does sound brave!!! My tonsils are huge too - I used to get tonsilitis all the time when I was a teenager - but I haven't had it for years now!!

Hassy - we completely missed the red pandas!!!! It was so busy that we didn't manage to get round it all, Elliot was a bit miserable in his pram so that slowed us down!! I remember when I was little nagging my Dad to take us to Whipsnade Zoo because they had a giant hippo there - I was convinced that it was going to be enormous because it was that that swallowed James' parents in "James and the giant peach". I've never heard a lion roar but I can imagine it must amazing!!!

TiredMom - welcome back!!!! Yep it was the one in Warrington - I was surprised how close it was. The OH is thinking of taking the kids to the water bit - I manage to procure some 3 for 2 tickets for it when we went.

CraftyJuJu - what a cheeky cow!!!! No wonder you were annoyed - I would be too!!!

Lei_Armstrong - hope you have a fab day today!!!!

Flourgirl - your card is so pretty - such a lovely image and I love the cute dummy!!!!!!
