craftygranny

Rusty Daniel is doing much better now thank you.

Well just had a phone call from my second eldest he went to london late last night as he needed to be at the american embassy for 8am . He had an interview to get his visa so he can go and live in la with his wife. Well everything went well and he should have the paperwork through by next monday at the latest so he's leaving me on either the 18th or 19th of this month.
eighteen months ago i had all five of my children here my nephew and niece plus 3 grandchildren soon it'll be just daniel and adam and kaitlyn what an empty house . Hopefully more time to craft though.


I too love my cuttlebug but am now lusting after the blue one someone added a link to. Think i'll resist though.

Oh goodness, not been on since Friday and 10 pages to catch up on.

CraftGranny - Hope your son is better now and that you are also feeling better. The engineer is thankfully coming on Wednesday to sort my laptop out hopefully. Out of interest how old are Carly, Alicia and Kaitlyn if you don't mind my asking.

Flourgirl - Thank you for the freebie Friday and love your bunnies

Rainmac - Your flowery pretty card is gorgeous

Sammr85 - Your first card is lovely

Crafty JuJu - Congrats on wedding invite order

Hassy - Thank you so much for info about the Lowry. I am not far away and want to go to get some of the card from the Papermill everybody is talking about.

Melissa 75 - Congrats on your win, your card was by far the best

Dragonllew - Thanks for the stamp link

The Wife - Hope the interviewing is succesful (when you get some turn up), I will PM you

NannyBoo1 - I will email you

Rusty - Take care of yourself. I have been at chiropractors this morning so restful day for me.

Right I hope that is everybody. I haven't had time to look at many blogs but please please can someone tell me how to comment on them as I don't know what the URL is that they are on about?

I have eaten my lunch already so that once I have taken DD to nursery at 1 I can have two hours playing with the two cards I started on Tuesday and then I may at last me able to post my first cards.

For all those feeling unwell I hope the lovely sunshine is lifting your spirits.

Oh and anybody who can have a word with cuttlebug, definately sparkly pink with butterflies on it!

emma - the challenge ended last Friday, but as I was late getting the names up and won't be doing the draw until tomorrow evening, I'm sure no-one will mind if you sneak a quick card in.
To enter, either post a picture of your Mother's Day card on here, or post it on your blog and let us know it's there x

The Wife - i have read in blog land that the Martha Stewart score board is amazing!! have my eye on some of her punches aswell.

Are the dies for the cuttle bug expensive? Any recommendations for where to purchase from?

Hi all, hope u r all ok

Well OH got up and went to work this morning, he is now home and snoring on the sofa!! Maybe next time he'll listen to me and realise i'm always right!! DD1 is home and doing my swede in! DS is running round like a looney and DD2 is having her afternoon nap! I've not done anymore cards yet, i've got to get come c6 size cards for my mothers day ones, hopefully I'll get them Thursday. I think I might try and get some of my x stitch done today if my eyes/head can cope as i'm stitching on black aida!

Sorry I can't comment on anything I just read my head is pickled, I hope I can comment later

Enjoy the sunshine

ooh what are you stitching? you probably already know this but it makes it easier to stitch onto black/dark aida if you can put a lamp so that it lights your work from the underneath, if that makes sense :rotfl:
