sorry I am another who has been AWOL (not sure if anyone missed me though!). I seem to be getting so far behind with things at the moment and it is starting to get me down. I have two 'new year cards' to make and send - I have no idea where the months between January and July have gone:eek: I am so tired at the moment too plus am trying to give up cow's milk and anything that contains it - sooo not easy. anyway enough moaning...

I have made my purple card melissa and also blogged another card - here

Evening ladies.

Gemm - I'm so pleased that you are feeling better about things - really hope it works out the way you want it to.

Hi Bunbun - I know just how you feel about getting behind - hope the dairy works too!

Our school fair was a great success, my friend has taken over as Chair of the PTA and did a brilliant job. There was a live band, traditional fair stalls and quite a lot of local business/craft stalls too. I sold a fair few bits and bobs, I'm a rubbish business woman though - kept giving laminated bookmarks away to the children! I've got a couple of orders for some camoflauge sock monkeys too which is nice. Glad it's over now and I don't have to feel I should be doing something specific when I sit at my craft desk - fingers crossed for the return of my mojo.

I'm off to explore my Tim Holtz book that turned up today - a belated birthday pressie from DH.

Evening

Thanks for my birthday wishes. I had a nice evening yesterday, I went out for dinner with my parents and sister. I'm not on the birthday list because I am not around all of the time and I am terrible at remembering birthdays and would feel awful that I hadn't been able to send cards so I feel that I would rather just wish people on here.

Had a voucher for Hobbycraft so went today to get a large butterfly punch I had seen there yesterday. I also bought a pack of 100 sheets of card for £5.49 on special offer. Seemed like a good deal!

Someone was saying that there are several posters 'missing' and I remembered that TinyPablo and Hassy have not been around for ages. Hope they are ok.

Marg - I don't think that it's wrong if you are concerned and want to contact people - nothing wrong in that at all!

Rusty - hope your grand dad in law recovers soon - poor guy.

Skiergirl - hope you enjoyed Murray getting beat after his anti England football comments!!!! Came back and bit him on the bum!!!!

Jowri - hope your course went well today. Postitive behaviour is going to the Range is it not?? LOL!!

Glittermum - hope the school fair went well today and that you sold loads.

Gemm - so glad to hear that you are feeling so much better lately. Good luck with your stall at the fair.

Congrats to the 'winners'!!!!

Giggle - lovely flowerpot card, I still cannot work out how to become a follower of your blog, the option is just not showing!

I have lots to catch up with on the blog front so will slowly try and get up to date soon.

I have to pack tomorrow for my trip to Marrakech on Tuesday, should be great so really looking forward to it.

Hope everyone is ok today x

Just flying in to say I have blogged my challenge card - I hope its purple/ lilac enough x
