congrats WBR - interesting challenge - have no idea what I'll do but will have a think :c)

welcome back flourgirl and have a great time PONR

Well done on getting a reply Toms Mum I emailed them and haven't heard anything and was happy to be a GDT for them - I like getting the challenge deets in advance - the I Did it Creations one I'm on (current challenge red white and blue plug plug!) has given me a list of themes up until October so I can have a good think about them in advance - so you do get a bit of notice - but I do understand how you feel I've been looking at the ones that use flowers and just know I woulnd't be comfortable with it or spending hours shading a Tilda - just not me LOL!

Glad things are looking up Gemma - are you sure you want to trust such an important letter to RM? I think I would take it in personally but maybe that's just me LOL.

Off to wash up and take pics of some makes - onl y 1 can go on my blog tonight though

I have heard back from Hassy - she's ok but she had a bad fall recently and was in quite a lot of pain, she says she'll be back on the thread soon.

Artydoll - great cards - I love the bunting on the first one and the pink hearts are so cute on the second!

Forget who asked about glue - I usually use inch wide DST from the poundshop you get 4 rolls in a pack.

Thank you Tired Mom - that was a lovely surprise:D

Sorry to have been missing for so long guys. Been a bit low, and joint pains have been a problem. Other than that the nursery fete has been and gone. Raised £285 in 2 hours for the whole thing which is great for our little area. Sold loads of childrens bracelets, lip balms and post it notes. SOld all the tea light candle holders I had painted.
Got to start thinking about what to make for the christmas fete!?!
Hugs to all on here and I am trying to stay more in touch this week as I know you all make me feel better.
Thanks to Choccy sending me some lovely images in my stash swap I have finally used my promarkers. Only thing is I absolutely ove them and so many times I just didn't quite have the right colour I cn feel some spendy elves trying to escape from the locked cupboard...
Where is the best deal at the moment for promarkers? Is it still the letraset site?
I think I have sent out everything that I owed everyone but please please let me know if I have missed anything. I don't want ot let anyone down.
Melissa - I loved the card thank you so much and the images are so gorgeous. I don't have any of those and I am going to ahve so much fun sitting colouring them in.
I shall stay more in touch, definintely, i promise! Hugs to all x

Nici - try Icon - they are very cheap for packs of Promarkers and have free delivery. Takes a couple of days to come and they email you to say they have been despatched. I've ordered as have a few other and we have all been pleased.

I have put a card on my blog. I have a theatre group committee meeting this evening and OH has taken ds2 to tae kwondo leaving ds1 at home. he will be back in about half an hour so ds1 will stay on his own. this is the first time he has stayed in the house by himself. I keep thinking I will go in 5 minutes! I really must go now or I will be late...my baby is growing up:eek:
