lovely card Flourgirl

does anyone know if The Range sell really useful boxes and what glue stick would you reccomend for kids to use on scrapbook pages as i will need to get some for my after school club

Liza Try here for Really Useful Boxes, they've got 20% off and excellent service too, I've got nearly 50 :eek: but that's for craft and computer and doesn't include the 8 under the bed for my clothes :eek:

Nici sending hugs 'cos you seem better, hope it stays that way

Millie I buy my preprinted labels from ebay, just do a search for 'preprinted labels' and you'll find loads and some that don't charge extra for more than one sheet.

Flourgirl - Your card is so cute, I love the little flowers!

Liza - I nipped into the range today and they had lots of storage boxes - it's worth a visit. I also noticed they have a new cheaper range of paper flowers and bits and bobs for 99p. I also picked up some papermania doublesided 12 x 12 for 29each!

Rainmac - Thank you so much Mr Postie arrived with my goodies, so cute!

Melissa - Chester Zoo sounds like lots of fun, glad you enjoyed, I know what you mean about the weather, we are never happy are we!

The wife - A lovely get well card, so cute x

I've made some lovely swaroski crystal bracelets this evening, I just love the way the light catches them and they sparkle, they are gorgeous! I'm hoping to make a pocket card tomorrow, I have watched a tutorial doesn't seem to difficult!

I got 48 mini whisks today off ebay all ready for doing my snowman soups for christmas. I'm planning on putting them with mugs this year as a complete gift rather than just doing the soup set on its own to go with another present.
DH is home now from his business trip and I'm hoping he'll take kids out for a bit tomorrow so I can have some time to myself. I've decided I need an ATC session as I've fallen behind with all the ones I wanted to get done.
Hope everyone had a good day today. I've been rather good with the spendy elves so far, not been out for almost a week. Starting to get twitchy fingers when I'm on the laptop now though. NOt sure how long I'll last before I find a barg that just too good to miss! :rotfl:
Im off for an early night, hugs to all, and hope you all had a good day and get a great nights sleep.

I've tried to catch up, but had over 10 pages, so apologies in advance if I miss anyone or anything. Also, apologies for the length of this post. There's some gorgeous makes on everyone's blogs and I've left comments accordingly. I think I'm following everyone on here, but if I'm not then give me nudge PLEASE.

Giggle - congratulations, he's gorgeous.

Skiergirl - hope your toe is better and your not still hobbling around in Uggs (especially in this heat)

Ali - hope your sons hearing test went ok

PONR - Wow Marrakech - if you have room in your suitcase, I'm sure I'd fit!

Rusty - glad your mojo's returned

Paddington - thanks for the link for the gorgeous freebie image. I've been playing with that fairy silhouette from Stitchy again - I'm defo gonna have to buy more silhouette's from her. I'm going to be really cheeky here and ask if there's any chance that she could produce a tree, toadstools and leaves in silhouette? I went to produce a blown ink tree and dropped the straw and got ink down me - LOL, so have given that up today as a bad job and decided that digi is the way to go!

Gemm - sorry works been so carp and your suffering. Glad you've been to the Dr's though, hopefully the increased meds will kick in soon and you'll be feeling a bit perkier. I fully get where you're coming from - I've suffered bouts of depression for years and sometimes it seems easier to isolate yourself rather than to try and deal with people. Sending hugs your way. x

Belated birthday wishes Louby and Scattyjan

OAP - congrats on your test results, glad they were a lot better than you'd anticipated.

Hassy - sounds like you got a bargain with your glasses

Flourgirl - so sorry to hear about your Dad, my mum and my gran both have recurrent bouts of skin cancer so can sympathise with you. Hope everything goes OK for him next week.

Nici - sorry that your feeling down atm. Hope you feel better soon.

Melissa - glad you had a good time at the zoo. I haven't been to the zoo for ages, think I might take the kids in the summer hols

Tomsmum - hope you get your computer sorted.

Marg - glad you enjoyed your BBQ. Like your idea regarding the glue. I keep a pin in the nozzle of mine which seems to help, but even then I occasionally get "lumps" so will try the spreader!

Rainmac - Enjoy playing with your Bigshot - I love mine and am finding that I use it more and more

Glittermum - hope you have a fab time tonight

Bunbun - wow envious of you getting to go to the DR Who expo - me & ds lurve dr who

Kelly-Lou -hugs to your lo, hope she makes a quick recovery

Tiredmom - glad you had a good hol. Enjoy CP's

Choccy - thanks for reminding me about the CCW challenge, I've never done a scrapbook page before but it's on my list of things to try. I'm a bit intimidated by where to start though, will definately try to do one for this challenge though.

CraftyJuJu - I know it's easier said than done, but ignore that woman and don't let it upset you, it's her problem not yours.

Lei - Enjoy Thorpe Park. Are you going to go on the Detonater - if so good luck - I truly hate that ride!

The -Wife - LOL @ the seaweed. You're not the only one to have problems with blog links being deleted, it seems mad to me, especially as we can link to just about anything else. Maybe we should have a blog buddy who we PM when we've blogged so that they can post the link!!

Right I think that's everyone - if not a big big sorry.

Hiya all
Many thanks for all your well wishes Thea thinks it's fab you have cheered her up. She had a really great sleep last nite and has eaten a little 2day. NIKKI you made me laugh about eating crisp in hospital they kept asking if Thea wanted ice cream knowing she has a dairy allergy!! :eek:

So glad Thea is ok, what a beautiful name . Can't believe they offered a girl with a dairy allergy ice-cream in hospital *roll eyes*!

Mel, glad you had a great time at the zoo. I love Woburn Safari Park, you drive round large areas where the big animals can roam around. It's a bit like being on safari, I love it

I have finally finished all my paperwork stuff for preschool and school - yippee :j Taken most of the day (and evening ) but it's done now! Going to meet up with a friend for coffee in the morning. Her daughter turns one next month and I feel carp that I haven't made anything except for a card. I've bought her an egg cup plate, some Winnie The Pooh Tote slippers (for the colder months to come ) and a pop up tent. She's maybe a tad young for the pop up tent but it's dead cute and very pink, I had to get it

Hope everyone's having an ok weekend, I want it to get a bit cooler, my energy is zapped!

Hassy

Evening ladies.. just a quick post cos I am up very early tomorrow and need an earlyish nite..

Crafty So sorry you are having a rough time with that work colleague.. can't understand what her thinking is.. very odd.. hope fully she will be ok with you next time you see her, if not, it is her loss..

Scatty Many many congrats.. :j :j

Wifey You made me laugh about the weather forcaster.. what is plan B for your day out if it rains?

Mel I am so pleased you had a good time at the zoo.. it can be tiring but well worth it..

Tired mom Didn't know they had moved the otters.. I hope they like their new home...

I have had a lovely afternoon.. I went to Dawn Bibby's place with a friend and saw two demo's.. and they were free!!! Dawn Bibby was demoing the distressed inks and other Tim Holtz stuff and Suze Weinberg was demoing melting pots and bees wax and making altered images and jewellery.. it was a fab time.. Suze is on QVC on Tuesday twice.. she is a really nice lady.
Because we booked to go there, we were given goody bags when leaving.
Then outside there were loads of tables with loads of boxes on full of stuff in a sale.. by a sale I mean you put your stuff in a carrier bag and at the end it is literally looked at and an unbelievably low price is suggested.. :eek:
I got a bulging heavy bag full of stamps and a few papers and punches.. OH said between me and my friend I went with we could open a shop as well stocked as Dawn Bibby's...

Right, I am going to bed..
Hope everyone is ok, hugs... nite nite..

So, I am going to have a lot of fun playing with my stash.. Oh, before going to Dawn's, we went to Caroles and got some gorgeous papers and a few stamps and embossing powders...

Hassy

Back again.. strange things have gone on with my last post... the last paragraph wasn't there when I originally wrote it.. I wrote that before saying I was going to bed... ????

Very odd....
Right, nite nite again...
