Ha ha, I sort of ignored the urge to look when Craftygranny mentioned it and then saw that you had been there too so curiosity got the better of me...

Please don't worry about the images, I will shout if I need help, thank you for the offer xxx

Ha ha padster nice try but not all my fault if you hadn't looked then rainmac wouldn't have . :rotfl:

OOh rusty hope the little ones are better soon. Poor thomas's back sounds sore.

Sorry i have been awol most of the day but we had Kaitlyns appeal hearing for school today we had to be at the town hall for 9am and didn't get back until nearly 3 pm . We get the decision tomorrow morning so we'll have to sleep with everything crossed.

Well Done Addams! sorry I didn't recognise you on there. I definitely didn't get the same ribbons as you. Love how you've managed to use 2 on the bottom card.

Craftygranny - will have fingers crossed for the right result for you & Kaitlyn tomorrow. x

Well Elliot has managed to drop the mouse from my laptop in my coffee and now it wont work - I'm really struggling without it - I just can't get used to scrolling with the pad thingie.

CraftyJuJu - I love all of your creations - the charms look fantastic with the matching tiles!!!! I think my favourite is Rusty's bookmark with the circle tree tile - I really like the colour of the beads on that one. The wire bracelet is gorgeous too - you really have a natural talent for making them!! Love your cards too - my middle son would love the spongebob one.

Gemm - crikey you have been busy this morning!

Rusty - your card is lovely. I love the fake stitching and the staples are a great idea!

Giggle - love your pirate goody bag!

The-Wife - your sweet peas look gorgeous!

Addams and Marg - The balloons didn't take too long at all, I have to say I really struggled with my selection of ribbons - I got 2 Check Sunny Day, 2 Sailors Hats, Happy Fish, 2 Balloons, 2 Happy Birthday, 1 Icecream, 1 beach, 1 ladybirds and 1 Stripe Sunrise. When I opened them I thought "uh oh -I'm in trouble" as they really didn't inspire me at all.I bet your cards will be fab Marg - they normally are.

Meant to ask Addams - did you get your prize from Passion for Promarkers the other week?

Craftygranny - will wear everything inside out for you tonight and keep everything crossed.

Mel - you so deserved to win with that card, it's gorgeous. x

Right off to blog hop now.

I'm itching to make a scrap layout following a challenge that sylphraven is on the DT for, not sure if I will screw it up doing it so late tonight or not? Hope everyone has a good evening. Xxx

Thank you for all the good wishes re Kaitlyn. After sitting in the town hall today and some of that time in the company of the receptionist i'd love a job there it's sooo funny.

A man walked in and went up to the reception and asked who he needed to complain to as the Labour government had stopped the advertising of cigarettes and the local superdrug has a big poster up advertising them and he hadn't smoked for years and it made him want to. She sent him to the complaints dept at the civic hall who sent someone to check and phoned her back to let her know it was stop smoking stuff they were advertising.

Next one up was an elderly gentleman who came in puffing and panting and sat beside me and announced he was 81 and he needed to get his breath back as it was all uphill from the bus station and he wasn't old enough to need a walking stick yet. I waited with baited breath when he went to the counter . He asked the poor girl why the flag was flying so she rang and asked her boss then she told him it was because they were holding a citizenship ceremony today so he announced he'd been a citizen of barnsley all his life so he should have been invited and went off to ask the security guard to take him to the ceremony. lol

Then a lady about 50 and her husband came rushing in and she rushed to the desk and said she was invited to a wedding and which door did she have to use so they said either this side one or the large ones at the front so she said i'm having some flowers delivered they said about 10.30 so the girl rang to ask the security guard at the front if they'd been delivered to him and he said no so she apologised to the lady and said they don't appear to be here and she said oh they won't be the wedding is in the middle of august i was just looking rofl.

Then the girl said if you think they were funny you should have been here last week . A man went in and asked for the toilets so she directed him and he came back and said not those ones so she asked the security man to take him to the ones upstairs and when they got there he said nope not these so the security man said well which do you mean then ? and he said i wanted to see the solid gold one with the jewel encrusted seat the queen uses when she visits barnsley.

So sorry if you're not amused but it made my boring day a bit brighter.lol

evenin - have been rushed off my feet today - don't like this working lark and have now been called into the office tomorrow :mad: - still managed to hang my washing out though

Fab makes with the ribbon I hate ribbon - just can't get it to behave
Made 3 cards today but haven't had chance to take any pics.

Thanks for mentioning kraft Rusty was exactly what I needed to finish off a GDT card that I was doing - didn't had the real stuff so cut up a lunch bag :rotfl::rotfl:

DD has gone to bed with her nightie on inside out so hopefully that will help your appeal verdict :rotfl::rotfl:

Rusty it's for Kaitlyn to go to the school where she currently goes to nursey they said she has to go to one a mile and a half away but carly will be at the nursery where kaitlyn goes at the moment and kobie will be at the private nursery there too. so we need to pick up three kids from 2 different places at the same time. Just waiting for them to tell me how. They had no solutions to offer this morning.
