big hugs to you and all your family

Thanks for your comments on my money necklace,I.ll try and tell you how I did it.I'm not very good at explaining though,lol.
I took a long piece of clear plastic,cut from a bag,about 3inchesx 24 inches
started by putting one coin at the end and folding the plastic over twice ,then screwing the ends up,like a sweet,then wrap clear sellotape arou your screwed up ends,if you see what I mean.
Add the next coin ,and enclose in plastic as before,continue to add coins but sellotape each ,screw join between coins.
Get about a yard of ribbon,the organza type ties better,starting at one end ,tie tightly ,leaving about 6 inches,then fetch the ribbon at the back of the coin and wrap around between coins tying knots as you go ,otherwise it will all come undine,finish off by leaving about 6 inches of ribbon ,
The ends can be tied together in a bow,to make the "necklace"
Sorry if the instructions are not very clear,I made it on the spur of the moment.
check out the pic on my blog for reference.

CG/ wannab- thanks for the links- unfortunately i want quite a few but i'm not willing to pay a lot for them. i bought some 18months ago 25silver/ 25 gold for £1.99 so £10 is quite a big jump! i'll keep looking!

Tomsmom- nothing really to say but sending you massive hugs xxx

Knock Knock! Remember me? been nearly a week since I last showed my face. So sorry but I have been poorly .... Just popping on as I thought I better make sure none of you forget about me!!

Also I have popped some easy christmas cards on my blog. There was a little challenge but SCRAPPY SCATTY got the right answer!! ... Can you PM me your details please and I will pop some bits in the post.

Hope to try and keep up on here a bit more but not making any promises!! I will confess I didn't catch up on the last 9 pages so I am completely oblivious to anything that may have happened!

As for blogs, I am sorry but I marked all as read, there was 1700 + blog posts and I just haven't got the time to comment on them all

Hi,

just a quickie from me before i go and get my monsters from school

I lost 1.5lb last night :j

Can't remember what i have read so hugs to anyone who needs them and welcome back oldies you have been missed!

Can anyone tell me what size card i need to make and A4 box? with a depth of a couple of inches!

Also pardon my stupidness but what size card do i need to make an A4 card, one that i will score myself? I always buy my mum and dad A4 cards for christmas and birthdays and obviously i will be making them myself this time round :rotfl:

Thrifty & Rusty - Welcome back! You have been missed.

Kms - Well done on the weight loss. You need A3 card to make an A4 card.

Agatha - Hope you get to play with your promarkers. You will be hooked once you start using them!
