Thanks for the congratulations! I got details about the challenge today and have to make something by 10th July. I've got the perfect idea involving sweeties (shame I can't eat them though)

I tried Wild Orchid Crafts for mulberry paper roses but they're are out of stock of white buds and haven't replied to my emails or answer the phone! Mulberry Crafts UK halso have no white buds lol. Might have to resort to a trip to Hobbycraft...

Congrats lei, I managed to miss who you have GDT for?

Have you tried creative treasures, Melissa posted a link to them a while back and I got lots of lovely flowers from them and they are a reasonable price and fast delivery! Maybe if you need lots and lots you might be able to ask for a bulk buy discount?

Hello all :j

Wel done Melissa, Dragonllew & Lei :T You are a clever lot:T

Too hot to do much today but did get around to making a couple of seed packets -(not as good as rainmacs though) for a friend of mine who's been sending me seeds from her garden.

Young girl who used to clean for me last year has sent me some stickers to use but some I know I won't have any need for..........Dr. Who and some other strange little characters..........don't know what they're called but it says Jetix on the sheet.
Are they any use to anyone ? There's not a lot of them but someone might find them handy.

would love the stickers if you are not using them. I am making gifts to sell for my local disabled club and Dr Who stickers would be great to go on the boys pencil goody bags.

Thank you all again for the cards, presents and birthday wishes. My parents came to visit and then the 4 of us went out for a meal in the evening. Its the furthest my dad has driven for 3 months but he was determined he was coming here, so had a rest before we went out, and wasn't in too much pain Me and DH are going for a meal at the weekend (hopefully) too :j

Tomsmum - thanks for the link for the magazine, mine arrived today but I've not had chance to look through it yet

Congratulations Marg, Padster, Melissa, Dragonllew and Lei :j

Skiergirl -GP checked blood pressure but said ''contrary to what most people think blood pressure doesn't cause nose bleeds'' - new one to me.......still BP was fine (usually is) and he reckoned infection was most likely cause.........so far, fingers crossed, had no more since Monday morning...............do hope I'm not speaking too soon..............lol
Read on NHS Direct site that often nose bleeds start in the winter when central heating is on and the air is so dry.......well its been hotter than it would be with central heating...........maybe that's it ?? Oh well, we'll see. If I get another one I'll not be that worried unless it won't stop or starts to be an everyday thing then it'll be off to A & E..........don't really want to as ours is useless I think.

Evening All!
Have been busy busy busy - so have blogged a make or two

Meeting with new school was really interesting - they brought some year 7s and 8s with them so got the kids eye view so to speak. DD is gonna get such a shock as there are currently 95 at her whole school and when I asked was told that a year runs at roughly 170 students :eek: - 7 times that is lots :rotfl::rotfl:

I also sold 3 dining chairs that had been sitting in our garage for the last 4 years as one of my friends was saying that hers had dropped to bits - bonus
