Mad-Frog

Afternoon all, it's been raining here for bout 3 hours! just as we went to get some compost and tomato planters, will have to do that tomorrow, managed to get some weeding and pruning done before the heavy rain started

Been ironing for the last hour and a half, basket is still full though! there is only two of us as well :mad: ironing is like my weeds I think...never ending.

Rainmac congratulations on your son's red belt, i used to love karate shame I gave it up really

congratulations on the 'A' and 'B' teams

OH is back on his PS3 so off for a blog hop, going to spend all day crafting tomorrow, after I have done the tomato plants so hopefully will get a few of my projects done

Drum roll - I'm on the A team too - think I should be that mad one that they had to keep springing out the nut house :rotfl:

Just noticed I've been stash free for nearly 3 weeks :A - have been playing with xmas stuff today so had no worries about wanting to buy any

Well it was a lovely sunny day here but very windy. It has just suddenly poured down with rain!!!!

I've blogged a few bits today and I have been blog hopping - not quite caught up yet though.

I'm after abit of help - I a useless at making envelopes, I just cannot work out where I need to score and usually waste loads of paper in the process. I've made a card for my mum's birthday and need a 8inch x 8inch envelope. Can anyone who is a whizz on envelopes let me know the size of paper I need to start with and where I need to score it. Is there a simple way of working this out that I am missing as I am completely rubbish at it!!! If anyone can offer some advice I would be so grateful!!!

PONR - I've no idea really........., BUT my MS scoreboard says for a 6" sq envelope you need to start with 10" x 10" paper and score at 3&three quarters" if this helps So I guess at a minimum you'd need 12 x 12" paper.

Marg - I have the MS scoreboard also and I wish they gave more examples of how to do things on there. The instructions are very sparce aren't they and no tutorials on their website either. I have a piece of 12 x 12 paper but can't figure out where to score lol!!!

Forgot to say earlier congrats to the 3 new DT's!!!!:T
