Ali - What package has it opened with?

Ali - I tend to open all my digis in Microsoft Paint if I'm just re-sizing them before printing. go to page setup and you can change the percentage of the size of the image there, then print it out.

I open them in Paint to then copy to Word, didn't know I could resize in Paint (cheers Gemm). Always thought I did it in a very long winded way

Just posted the Crafty Place card swap partners for this month x

Evening - I feel exhausted. Spent a good part of the afternoon at the hospital visiting my auntie who is much improved and more like her normal self. 2 more lots of chemo and they are hoping that it will have done the trick.

Had a bit of a bad start to the day - got shampoo in my eye and boy did it sting. My eye is still sore and has been abit mucky all day. I then rushed to open my delivery of Anita's 3D gloss, decided to try it out so removed the tab thing that stops it leaking in transit and then tripped or slipped and it went all over my duvet cover. I had an expensive Coach handbag on the floor and thought it had gone on that but luckily it missed it. I managed to get it off of the duvet with a wet flannel although the duvet is still abit stiff!!

I'm halfway through a birthday card for my mum but still trying to decide how I want to decorate it!!

Congrats to the winners amongst us - well done!!
Glittermum - Hope you have had a great Birthday. I'm so happy your boys liked their sock monkeys!!
Mad-Frog - Wilkinson have compost on offer - not sure if it is a good deal or not though!!!!

Hope everyone is ok x

Melissa told me about the cracking noise so I was expecting it to do it What bits and bobs have you bought?

It's abit windy here but at least it's dry. We're off to a kiddie party later and then to friends to watch the football and BBQ. I'm taking a bottle of Pimms for the ladies whilst the men shout at the telly

Hope everyone has a good day x
