Still none the wiser :rotfl: no idea what you do with it?

:eek: you are soooo naughty with your links lol xxx



My scrapbook page can be seen if you scroll down on my blog

Can I just ask if those who have sent me flowers could look on my latest cards, I had some lovely white flowers with pink/blue edges and there were 2 green leaves and 2 brown leaves, I am desperate for more leaves but need to know where they came from please?? I am thinking possibly padster or Rainmac but I could be wrong?

I think I sent you the flowers but not the leaves, sorry don't know where they are from Beautiful cards xxx

I was nearly finished writing a long speel of how my day been and then the page refreshed and my reply vanished! Humph can't be bothered typing it all out again I'm afraid. Not sure I'd remember what I said anyway.
Craftygranny thats great news about the school appeal, I'm so pleased.
I received my bead direct order today and some gorgeous beads from singapor I spotted on ebay - with free postage! Not sure when I'll get time to do something with them but in the meantime I'm happy enough taking them out the padded envelopes and just sitting admiring them in their little poly bags!
Off for an early night I think, I can't stop yawning!

craftgranny that is fab news about the appeal:T I bet you are glad it's all over. we thought we might have to appeal for ds1's place at secondary school but fortunately we didn't.

tiredmom I bet you too are relived about your ds' class at junior school. my two boys went to an infant school then moved to a junior school - it seems so long ago now!

gemm I bet you are pleased to have come to a decision - hope all goes well when you go back next week - at least it won't be for long. I gave up work when I had ds1 and although we really struggled financially (and still do) I don't regret it at all

I have had a very musical day today. I went to ds1's leavers service in Durham cathedral. It was a lovely service made even more special by the fact that ds did a reading. it was very emotional though thinking that he will be moving on to secondary school and becoming more independent. I then went to a musical concert at the boys school - ds1 was in the orchestra and ds2 in the choir. it was a lovely evening. ds1 played a keyboard solo.

I should really have spent the day tidying the house as rusty is coming over tomorrow. oh well will have to rush around before she gets here in the morning:D

Well i have decided that i will have to be brave and start a blog but i don't know where to start

If you go to https://www.blogger.com (I think we all have blogger) you can do a free blog there. I can't do a proper link as it just links to my blog all the time, I think because I'm permanently logged in on there. From what I remember the instructions are very straightforward and I found it very easy - if I can do it, honestly anyone can!

Bolton I used to print inserts and attach them to the inside of my cards. I don't bother now because (1) I'm too lazy and can't be bothered to faff about and (2) Someone I know found out that her friend who she'd been sending beautiful cards to used to take out the insert, put a new one in and pass them off as her own cards :eek:. The only time I put an insert in now is if I want to hide the legs of a brad of the ends of a ribbon.

I was going to blog hop earlier, never got around to it. Been playing and made a card but it was too late to photograph it, I'll blog it tomorrow. I also had a go at the new technique for the new challenge. I managed it but not very happy so I'll have another go, perhaps tomorrow. The one I did today was a Christmas card, funny how a few of us have done those today.

This business about posts with links to blogs being deleted, I remember a couple of years ago I started my house renovation blog and put the URL as my sig. It was removed so I queried it and was told it was because of possible advertising. I said there was no advertising on my blog, just photos etc. of my house reno. Was told again that it was possibly that someone would come onto my blog and comment and leave a link to something that person was advertising. I'm assuming that this is the reason they're removing these posts. I haven't seen any advertising on anyone's blogs here so it does seem to be a bit OTT. Can't understand why anyone would want to report any of these posts though, seems a bit petty. I don't think it can be anyone who joins in with out chat, and if not a cardmaker why read this thread - shruggy shoulders!

Right, off now to have a nosey at what you've all been up to.
