Well I still haven't managed to finish my xmas card off - I just can't seem to get motivated at the minute! I think its because I've just got out of the habit of making things - I had so many things that I wanted to make for xmas presents so I really need a rocket up my bum!

Karencooke - beautiful cards - really classy - I love the colour combination of the silver, white and black together!

Flourgirl - beautiful pink card, love the little charm, your xmas puds are so cute!

Elysia - the QVC tsv did look really good - I only bought some Kraft cardstock so I was well behaved!!

Artydoll - fab makes on your blog - your "girl on swing" card is really pretty - love the image! And your post it note folders are great - love the little halloween pics.

Mad-Frog - congrats to you and your OH!!! What's she called?

Flying_fresian - great cards - love the sparkly cupcakes and I love how you've made the washing line with nappies on on your baby card.

Hogshead - how was John Bishop - me and the OH think he's hilarious, mind you OH is a bit bias 'cos he's a fellow scouser.

Willow - belated birthday wishes for yesterday!!!

The-Wife - I hope your chest is better today.

PepPop - I want that die - it looks fab!

OAP - I hope today goes okay for you - sending you hugs!

Rainmac - that's fantastic news - I'm so pleased for you!

Lizalloareds - your bow looks amazing.

KMS - I hope you feel better soon!

Congrats to our latest winners!

Just saw this on a wander through blog land - for those of you who have the space I thought this was a brilliant idea.

Looks fab Peppop, I love storage almost as much as I love making stuff I only have a tiny craft room now though, (me and hubby swapped offices a few months ago, so I could be downstairs,, I hated being upstairs and felt shut off when I was in there) so just I keep addng shelves at the moment! Love organising stuff my colour too! When I have a tidy up I'll take some pics of my new room
in answer to your question, yes I did doodle on the cobwebs and spider x

I think it was you who mentioned you'd brought an all singing and dancing Canon printer that can print thick card and is wireless? What model do you have and how have you found it?

:jOh I won a challenge – how fab . Thanks for the link Gemm – i’m rubbish at checking closing dates. Gemm, just sorting out the ATC for Dragonllew, can you please confirm what I need to put on the back of it. Thanks.

PONR – glad you are back safely – hope you get rid of the jet lag soon.

Quick question for anyone. I coloured with promarkers last night a cute picture of a fairy princess, and wanted to add a bit of sparkle so put some icicle stickles on part of the dress, but it made the ink (printed outline of the image) of the dress run. Ended up colouring another, but it looks a bit flat with no sparkles, or what the knack is to adding stickles and the ink not running. Does anyone know anything else I could try. I don’t have any thing like glimmer mist, but is there something I could make up with embossing powders that I could try?

PONR - Glad you had a good nights sleep

PepPop - the way they have hung up all that stuff is great, unfortunately I dont have the room!

Lei - Do you mean the hobbycraft show. I am planning on going on the friday (5th Nov) as I have the day off.
