Updated my blog with card and box I made for Skiergirl. I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Melissa as I am now managing to enter challenges due to your wonderful list. I really wouldn't have a clue where to start otherwise.:A

Well I've had a naughty few days again - what with my MME papers order from Angel Crafts, then I ordered loads more flowers yesterday and then I placed an order at creative craft world for some promarkers and some of the new echo park papers - then I ended up pre-ordering the walk in the park ones too - I must stop!!!!!

Rusty - huge congratulations to you and your OH on your weight loss - you must both be so chuffed - its great that you've got each other too for support! And thank you so much for my stash swap - it arrived this morning - I can't believe that you sent me so many gorgeous things - I feel really stingey now for the stuff that I sent you!!! That's great news too that you're not suffering as much - yeah!!!! Sorry that the nurses are being mean - howhorrible after everything that he has been through. Your purple challenge entry is gorgeous - of course you can enter it - love the birds!

CraftyJuJu - those glass tiles are stunning - they're so pretty - would they be too heavy to attach to a card??? Your wedding stationary is fabulous too - you have been busy!

Marg - congrats on your win. I keep checking the site for those cheap nesties but they haven't got them in yet - I did email them too but they haven't replied!

Paddingtondoo -congrats on your win too!!!!!

Skiergirl - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

Addams - great purple card - thanks for entering (it was me) - love the image!

Craftygranny - there's a new binding machine on the market - its called the cinch - it looks quite good but I can't justify buying it when I've got the bind-it-all. QVC sell it if you want to have a look - there should be a video on there for you to watch.

Rainmac - stunning challenge card - I love how you've tied the ribbon onto the sentiment!!!! Your flower is gorgeous too - I've just bought that die myself after seeing your gorgeous "box of flowers" on your blog. I ordered one of the other dies from "every moment matters" but the owner emailed me to say it was out of stock so I chose yours instead - I'm really chuffed now that the original one that I ordered was out of stock.

Mary -hope you get your ears and nose sorted soon!!!!!

Gemm - congratulations on being so brave today!!!

Jowri - fantastic challenge card - thanks for entering!

TiredMom - thanks - I'm glad to help! I'm managing to keep up to date with the current challenges - I'll keep adding blogs to it when I notice them! Your card and box are gorgeous!

Can anyone tell me what make these flowers are and what they are called please? If anyone knows the best place to buy them as well I would be grateful.



Thanks X

Oh [STRIKE]b****r[/STRIKE] bottom I meant to go on the Creative Craft World site today and order some more promarkers and completely forgot. Does anyone know if they do these 30% off sales often?

Hi all, rushing on quickly as usual... got to get kids sorted before I host book club (tho not read the book so a bit of a failure but been too busy!)

Wanted to say thank you to Rusty for the beautiful card It is so bright ad cheeful and love the butterfly is that done with a die or on your whizy new electronicy thingy?? DD came home and said 'ooh you have a new card and it's 2 in 1! Love your purple bag and wishing your Grandad a speedy recovery so he can escape from the hospital asap.
Padster I have Tesco finest paper and use it for digi's I think someone on here recommended it and like u I felt guilt free as it was bought with the shopping! Sorry I didn't like the face on that freebie image...how ungrateful am I?? Very fussy about my piggies obviously!
Congrats to Marg the queen of Ribbons
Skiergirl happy happy birthday xxx
Rainmac gorgeous card did you punch the flowers or are they a die? Will ask some questions about the stuff you sent me when I have a few more minutes!
Gemma glad today was ok and good luck with making the right decision for you xxx
