Addams can you pm your address to me please? Voucher ear marked for you..
Read on one of your posts, your OH does cartoons, who does he do them for?

I have Pm'd you my address. Thank you.
OH does the cartoons for himself mostly, just cause he enjoys doing them. But if I want something specific for a card, he will give it a go!

Afternoon all. I'm back and it's all good - got to have an op and take some tablets for the next few months, but other than that everythings hunkydory. Thank you all for your good wishes, it meant a lot. x

My Sweetpea stamps have been dispatched today, so hopefully they will be here next week at some point.:j

Craftygranny my fern die turned up from Little Claire's today. I'm really pleased with it. Thanks for posting the link. Oh I wonder what goodies your boys will bring back - I'd be really excited too. x

Hassy - I use the distressed stickles on a lot of my work atm. They aren't glitzy glitter like the stickles, but have subtle "chunks" that kind of twinkle when the light catches them. I mainly use rock candy and forest moss.

Soma & Lizzy - I don't think we have a list of peoples blogs, we just click on the user name and then goto their homepage.

Crafty JuJu - congratulations to Alex

Jowri - thanks for the tip re Smooch, I'll give that a go with some Perfect Pearls - could be an interesting result!

Rusty - smooch looks like a bottle of nail polish. It's kind of an ink with mica pigments in. I use it to edge things with and it's also good for colouring on acetate.

Choccy - thanks for the geads up re LOTV, not going to look as I'll spend spend spend

Rainmac - Love your card, blogger is playing up and won't let me leave a comment atm. I've added you to the list. Enjoy your committee meeting and hope you manage to get your book read x

Peppop - thanks, I think my cartridges maybe going back to Mr T for an exchange

I hope I've not missed anyone. Going to get tea on the go and then blog hop for a bit.

Wannab Glad your appointment went well.. phew!! I bet you were relieved..

I got an e mail gone mid night last night from craft4u to tell me my stash is arriving tomorrow and to double check that someone will be in to sign for the delivery.. wow they must be working flat out to get their orders out so quickly cos there must be hundreds!! Most impressed, shame they are closing down..

Gosh I can't keep up with this thread, have made 2 birthday cards today, can't blog them yet though as I haven't sent them off yet.

I am glad everyone else is spending, have been buying things again, I ordered a few items from America, didn't get charged customs last year but I have a card through the letter box today to tell me I have so am hoping it won't be too much... there is no price in payment due box :eek:

PepPop thanks for posting about Canon printer, mine stopped working as I put some non canon cartridges in there, am waiting for some canon ones to arrive so hope that is the problem

Thunder and lightning here but no rain yet.

OH going out tomorrow night so will be able to catch up properly then

Wanna B glad everything is okay

Is anyone able to help me?
I need freebie digi images of hawiian, surfer or beach boy related images. I need a boy & a girl image for 2 cards, 7yr olds.
Quite cheeky asking beings as I have been awol of late but I have my reasons.

Thanks

Gosh I'm struggling to keep up on here at the mo. Not getting any chance to blog hop or comment at the moment I'm afraid activites at school etc seem to be taking over life. Had great fun though that last night at class with Skiergirl, we basically played with copious amounts of glitter whilst learning to emboss, blimey what a mess! Need to make a load of cards so hopefully will get chance at the weekend in between three birthday parties, consultants meeting and writing up minutes.

Just wanted to say really glad your appointment went well WBR I imagine a lot of sleep wasn't had last night.

Can anyone tell me the cheapeast place to get Mo Manning stamps please that have speedy delivery. It is my nieces birthday a week on Saturday and I want to get the Rae with journal stamp as it looks just like her but haven't left myself much time.

Catch up soon and hugs to everyone.

Phew! Wanna B I'm so relieved that things aren't as bad as you feared & hope the op is minor & goes without a hitch.

Liz & Soma & any interested newbies - I'm not aware of a blog list, as Wanna B says the best way is to check out our home pages on here. OR I think you can pick up from blogs others follow but our names aren't always the same! There is a birthday list if you want to be added pm me your details. I send by royal mail and will not publish on the internet.

Craftygranny - Hope your boys get back safe with some lovely goodies for you. Good news about Carly - I've been watching 'Silence' this week & keep thinking about Carly & her implant. They seem to have given a very good picture of what it must be like.

Hassy - Thunder & lightening! - we missed that but have had a drop of welcome rain!

My LOTV die cuts arrived today & my Elzybells have been shipped:j

Sorry Giggle - I'm still playing catch up - but just had to say belated Congratulations on the birth of your new Grandson. (Very cool name too!)
