OAP -sorry to hear about your sad news......hugs (((((:o)))))

Hope the rest of you are ok.............apart from my back constantly reminding me it's there, we're ok and I'm doing coaster calendars at the minute since OH brought me a load of beer mats back from the pub.............don't know how many he thinks I'm going to do............lol
Need to get some magnet strips of buttons........where's the best place to get them from ? Or is everywhere much the same.....:)

Hi lovely ladies having a quick catch up Tomsmum & craftygranny - fingers crossed results are good for the men in your life!!

Getting withdrawal symptoms not crafted yesterday as all day at work and then went to York today and didnt get to go in any crafty shops - boo - but when we got home my cardmaking mag subscription was here I think I have read the print off it already!!

The Wife just read about your operation - can't rememeber when you said it is but fingers crossed it all goes smoothly x

Pointofnoreturn welcome back to the UK! Saw the huge amount of stash you brought in the US on your blog and think it's the perfect excuse for me to organise a holiday there lol x

Hi :wave: how did you get on with cutting joined lettering on your Robo?

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

Yup i'm going on the Friday too then going to stay with my brother at Loughborough Uni for the weekend! When we went in March I think there were 14 of us that met up - it was a lovely day x

Popkins sounds like you've had a tough time these past few months. Are labrynthitis and tinitus related to your fibro? If not can they tell you why you keeping getting them? Thanks for the info about the printer. Have you checked out the eCraft electronic cutting machine (in pink of course)? I think it's the one Skiergirl was telling us about at the NEC... x

Finally caught up with all the pages and hoping to post a bit more often but real life seems to be getting in the way and I haven't crafted much. Plus workload has doubled thanks to promotion and i've had lots of grief with my car (someone hit me on 14th and refused to give me his details - there's £1200 of damage including replacing a back door). I've treated myself to an ATG gun and some Cover-a-Card background stamps to cheer myself up though I've also got the week off after the NEC so am looking forward to chilling out and getting started on my Christmas cards.

p.s. I've started a thread over on CraftyPlace about meeting up at the NEC!

Hi :wave: how did you get on with cutting joined lettering on your Robo?

I'm working on it. Managed to download inkscape and have found a great tutorial on how to weld letters and numbers, so need to have a play, and see what I can do. I managed to do something on the robo yesterday which involved altering a shape for a topper bag, and quite chuffed I worked it out with no help from my OH!

Had a couple of hours on my own this afternoon, so have made some reindeer poop and some other sweet toppers that I will use nearer Christmas. I've add them to my little piece of the internet, if you want a peek.

Really excited, my OH wants to go to Lakeside tomorrow to the Decathlon shop and have just checked and there is a Range really close by, that I can wander round for a couple of hours!

Oh yes you deffo NEED to plan a holiday to the US!!!! Choose your airline carefully and you will be able to bring back loads!!!!

OAP - sorry to hear about your cousin.

Rusty - hope your MRI goes ok.

craftygranny - sorry to hear your son didn't get his results and now has to wait in suspense abit longer. Let's hope the hospital as being overly cautious.

Tomsmom - hope your OH's result are good news.

Tiny Pablo - congratulations!!! I was wondering what had happened to you!!!! Even looked on your blog!!!

I've been making bag charms and button rings today. Did cut out and decorate some snowflakes on the Cuttlebug and will start making some Christmas card soon!!!

I've just posted the winner of my blog candy and it's someone from here :j

Rusty, will email you a piccie of the envelope later today x

Hope everyone's ok, it's so cold here today, I'm having a day at home to catch up on the ironing and tidying after having our living room floor done in the week. We ordered a new dining room table and chairs yesterday, can't wait for them to be delivered It's half term here this coming week so I am hoping for a bit of time to get some crafting done. We're then off to Center Parcs the week after that, so looking forward to it. They are going to have a firework display on the Thursday evening which I am hoping will be good.

I've ordered 3 of the new Magnolia Christmas stamps from Crafting by Kaz. Her prices are cheaper than everywhere else and free postage so I thought it would be rude to only order one I've also just had a splurge on some new MME papers and a Pink Cat Studio stamp now please someone take my cards and Paypal account access away from me

Hugs to everyone xxx

I came on thinking there were going to be lots of pages to catch up on as I didn't even switch on my computer yesterday! Only one page, I expect everyone's been busy.

Congratulations winner :T enjoy your lovely candy.

Rainmac Ironing for me too this morning, then off to a forest with Poppy. Centerparcs - how lovely! We went a few years ago at the same time as DS and family. They had a lodge, OH and I had an executive apartment (it was at the time they did discount codes, we got it for a song!). We loved it, it was when they had Father Christmas there. It was the one in the Lake District. Wouldn't mind going again one day. DS wants to go over Christmas but it looks like they've missed the boat now .

Craftygranny Thinking of you and Adam. Hope his referral comes through quickly.

OAP Condolences re your cousin. I know what you mean about the rule of 3, I get worried like that too!

Can someone please arrange for more hours in the day - I still way behind with updating my blog and blog hopping!

We've got lovely sunshine today after yesterday's frequent heavy downpours. Hope you all have too and enjoy it.
