Hello all :j

Gemm - glad you got the heating sorted.......plumber came and did our radiators this morning and I've booked him for a boiler service in a fortnight to make sure nothing crops up during the winter.:)

Skiergirl........so sorry to hear about your FIL (((hugs))):)

Can't believe its taken me nearly all day to make two christmas cards:eek: Mind you I did make them fabric and stitched round the outside..........one I cut a heart shape out and stuck some fabric behind it, the other I cut out a christmas tree shape, green fabric, little button at the top and I found some small bits of chain that I managed to glue (very fiddly) so they look like decorations.
First time I'd had a go at any where I'd stitched round the outside, just like running stitch, to make them look a bit ''rustic'' if you know what I mean.
Thats my lot for today I think but I do seem to have an endless list of ''stuff'' still to do..........;)

I am on the look out for some pre-scored cards, last year i got a pack of 50 red & green and a pack of sliver & gold metalic cards from craftwork cards and they were a bargain at £1.99 ( still have the invoice on the comp) i can't find any this cheap, why i didn't get more i don't know.

Looks like i will be going to the nec after all :j but i will be on my own and don't really know how i am getting there yet. I know there is a little list on cp but is there anyone else going on the friday?

I saw some in the works the other day but i can't remember how much they were, i think it was 50 for £4.99, but i could be wrong :cool:

I have found some Cork coasters in the drawer i had forgot about not even sure why i brought them. Has anyone got any ideas or links what i could do with them? They are round :cool:

kma & lizalloareds - packages on there way to you.

Does anyone know the cheapest place to buy Kraft card - want to make my own brown labels for the school Christmas fair. Probably need 10-20 sheets minimum.

Skiergirl so sorry for your loss

Gemma - Glad your house is warm again. I havent had a chance to do a card for your challenge yet, but still hoping I can get one done in time!

Skiergirl, sorry to hear of your sad loss (hugs)

Horrible evening here in Glasgow, perfect for crafting, or watching tv

So sorry to hear your news Skiergirl, big hugs xxx

The preschool Halloween event was hectic, I made cakes this morning to take and then was at the preschool all afternoon. We took an ok amount I think so it was worth the effort.

Craftygranny, get the kettle on, a cuppa and a kitkat sounds fabulous x

Skiergirl – sorry to hear about your FIL – sending you and your OH some hugs.
Gemm – good luck tomorrow for your temp job. How fab going home for lunch.
TomsMom – hope your things get sorted for your son, and the customer pays up and sees sense. There are some horrid people out there wanting something for nothing. Hope your SIL gets another job very soon.
Marg – welcome home, hope you had a fab holiday.
Dragonllew – sent your CP ATC card to you yesterday, hope you like it, as it is the first one I have ever made.
Haven’t been in the mood to make anything for the last few days, but am now off with the kids until Monday, so hopefully my mojo will return over the next few days.
