Crafty Louise - Sorry you've got vertigo - I've never had it but have friends who've had it & it's nasty - hope you fell better very soon. I've not forgotten about the lists - just been a bit busy - can you pm me your email addy please?

rainmac - I think it very wise to relinquish your DT posts whilst you adapt to your new job - bound to be tiring at first and you'll still have family & domestic stuff to do & like Padster says any crafting you do needs to be for fun. I don't have any serious work committments & still can't fit everything in.

ali.b - You might find my Mojo lurking with yours when you find it. If you do, please box it's ears & send it on it's way. I've got one or two 'must make' cards to do and I'm really struggling. I've made one today that looks quite grim but had to be sent.

Ooo! flourgirl what colour are you wearing?

Wifey - :wave: ((Hugs))

Evening all....well actually its morning now oops and thought I would throw in a quick hello to everyone before I go to bed!

Hoping within the next week to have had a good clearing out of this room so I can get organised for the makes for this time of year! yay! haha

Already getting requests with no chance of making anything in a tip like this!

I have been looking for a decent template or somewhere my friend can buy boxes shaped like the cardboard chinese cartons you get? the takeaway one obviously....he has some ideas for a fete he is part of and can't find any at half decent prices so I'm thinking might need to go down template line although that could be time consuming.....any odeas or suggestions welcome! He wants to be able to fill them with some sweets xx

Reading this section has gotten me all excited about Chrimbo. I haven't been well enough to make cards the past two years, but loved seeing everyone else's cards on the forum.

I've started making a few cards for this year and I'll show them when I get done. Found some new stamps at a webstore called waltzingmouse stamps. Only problem is that the cards people show on the site are way, way above anything I'll ever be able to turn out. I try not to let it bother me and put me off. Do you think there might be a 'crafting' gene? Good luck to everyone.

Well I don't know about the others on here but the best thing you can do is look at blogs for inspiration, having bookmarked a load of must do makes. Then when you have lost a few hours and added 10 more must haves to your crafting list your spendy elves sneak out and before you know it you have a full basket
Then another few hours are wasted while you sit through deciding which of your papers to use and there will be some you get out and put back in the drawer cause they are too pretty
Then after you put the card together you decide that you need more ribbon, flower, charm etc and spendy elves come out again
Then when that purchase arrives you have actually made your card and have forgotten why you ordered them and they go in the drawer along with trillions of other must haves you need lol

How some blobbers manage to churn out a different card everyday is beyond me, as you can tell it can take me days just to make one card :eek:

CraftyLouise I hope things improve for you soon

Rainmac i don't think you are selfish at all, the whole point in making things is to give yourself pleasure

Off to look at pretty papers for a card I need to make pronto!

Rainmac I completely understand about the DT commenting, its one of the reasons why I don't apply for them, I don't think I want the stress! Its a new chapter in your life now and will probably take you a good few weeks to settle into your new role, but its one which you will be perfect at. Have you planned what you will spend your first wage on lol. My extra shifts last week got spent on my new bag

Marg my wedding outfit is sort of black, purple and cream with a bit of silver grey all splashed about.......looks better than it sounds! Its not really a posh outfit more for comfort, I hate dressing up! Philip said the fasinator (sp) looks like a dead giant cockroach :eek: :rotfl:
