Hi All

Hope everyone is well and enjoying the sunshine. Its lovely and sunny here.

I have just found out that they have just opened a home bargains near us, so cant wait to go and see what bargains I can get there!

I went yesterday and got some jungle animal stickers for 29p a pack and they were selling rubber stamps for 19p each! not any particular make but good general stuff, I got a 'thankyou' with a border, some baby feet which will come in handy for baby cards, 3 flowers and a heart with swirls in it. hope you can find some good stuff!

my home bargains had some huge scrapbooks for 3.99 complete with papers and stuff . They had the stamps but not much choice in them and some little paper punches. Kaitlyn got a fab helicopter one.

Feeling a bit better today - OH has been very supportive - amazing what bursting into tears all over someone can do

What did I miss, didn't know you weren't feeling tip top missus, I am so sorry If there's anything I can do please shout in my direction

My lil one is a bit off colour with very rashy rosy red cheeks, possible slapped cheek or other viral something or other - nurse was very vague this morning.

Tiredmom & Furry, got your bits & bobs packaged up so hope to get them to you soon x

Skiergirl - Hope trips to your parents are on account of builders & not that they are poorly.

Padster - Glad you are feeling a bit better. There aren't many compensations to getting old but not having to cope with that is definitely one of them!! I really suffered.

Rainmac - sorry to hear about LO hope he bounces back quickly.

Addams & Gemma - might divert via Home bargains on my way home - thank you

Rusty - well done on the weight loss. I don't 'do' camping but glad you had a good time. Sorry to hear of bereavements.

Tomsmum - Hope things have settled down with you - even though your neighbour wasn't neighbourly it must still have been a shock!!

As ever, DH waiting for me - best go - back later - sorry if I've missed anyone.

depends how old the child is I suppose - normally for babys you can use the same sort of image you'd use for a new baby card

afternoon all,

Padster think I might have been in the same world of my own as Rainmac, I didnt know there was something wrong xxx chin up

Rainmac - hope your little one feels better soon xx

DTB - Nice to see you on Can I pick your brains about the viva pearl pen, you said craft den but it links to a blog, I searched and craft barn have no viva pearl pens, are they easy to use? I saw a blog yesterday mention them but said they would be coming soon then saw your post about it!

I have finished the seed packet and I am quite happy with it, just need to blog it!

sorry Rusty, the blog I linked to belongs to the lady that owns the shop - I'm holding out on buying anymore as she is awaiting a delivery of a 'paper only' version of the pen which should be cheaper than the ones she stocks at the moment (they can be used on fabric etc)
I nipped in on Saturday and she was going to chase them up so I'll let you know when she gets them back in stock. they're really easy to use - just put a drop on the page and let it dry. I wouldn't be without mine - so much cheaper (and less fiddly) than trying to stick individual pearls on.
