That's such great news CT, glad you had a great first day xxx

Congrats to the latest winners xxx

DS1 is all better and was back to school today so it was a shirt lived bug thank goodness. Thank you SO MUCH for all the cards/pressies/cake/birthday wishes :A. I've had a lovely time, I let DS1 open all my cards and pressies that were here yesterday as he couldn't get to London. He was thrilled and started ripping into them straight away, I have so many beautiful cards, thank you so much, will try and blog them tomorrow xxx Me and my OH have been into Toys R Us today and bought a few bits for the boys for Xmas and DS1's birthday which is just after Xmas, well it's only money I guess . We were going to have food out but it was so cold I just wanted to get home for a cuppa (in one of my new mugs from my boys) and a mince pie so that's what we did, I tell you I am such a cheap date I've made the boys' matchbox advent calendar today and hope to start getting Xmas presents wrapped tomorrow.

Hope everyone's ok, have you seen Craftwork Cards are selling their goody bags for a fiver today, I've bought 2, they are such good value for money as they contain 30 cards & envelopes each and sentiments, papers etc. I need to go on a MASSIVE craft ban in the new year, anyone fancy joining me?

Take care and keep safe (no more carrying coffee Padster) x

So glad you have had a lovely day. Thanks for the link to Craftwork Cards - I usually look but don't buy, but these look fabbie and such great value, so 2 are on their way to me - strawberry crush and monochrome . Haven't bought anything for ages, so have just treated myself.

I'll join you with a craft ban in the new year. I have so much stuff that I need to use up, and now it looks like we are going to Florida next year, I need to save my pennies for that.

Happy Birthday Rainmac!! so sorry you havent had your card from me yet, it's in the post today!

sorry for going awol for so long, did you all miss me lol yeah right I've been so unbelievalby busy it's unreal, on top of my other commitments, I've just had 3 craft fairs in the space of 7 days, 2 of which were so-so and one was quite good. I'm well and truly wrecked, I thought I was done but I've just been offered another one for this sunday, and couldnt say no! I'm not going to go crazy making stuff for it though, just try and get rid of what I've got left, I'll be well and truly relieved to wind down the christmas crafting for this year!

I can't really attempt to catch up on what I've missed as there are so many pages it's quite daunting, but just wanted to pop in and say I'm back if you'll have me! hugs to anyone who needs them and I promise to try and get an A For Effort keeping up from now on

CT - so glad you've had a good first day - bodes well for the future. I don't suppose you'll get taken out to lunch every day? otherwise let me know if they have any vacancies. :rotfl:

rainmac - so pleased DS1 is better & that you've had a good day. DH & I try to have a day out for our birthdays but often would prefer to stop at home so know how you felt.

Padster - sorry to hear about your fall and that your cat is poorly hope you both feel a lot better tomorrow (especially the cat, as it hits your pocket as well & often you're none the wiser when you come out - love the idea of a Persian speaking vet :rotfl:)

Welcome back with open arms Gemma I wasn't too worried as I'd 'seen' you elsewhere - are you still at your temp job?

:wave: - Mary OP are you sure that's right about the deliver charge? £23? I got some stuff from them last week & it wasn't that much postage.

Cheers Mary :A, delivery is £1.95 not £23, honest

Ali, I bought momochrome and ruby tuesday, decided to come out of my comfort zone of muted colours and go for something striking We aren't going to take DS1 to London, they came home with his pressie yesterday and we are aready booked to have tea with santa at a garden centre nearish my mum and dad and they get to see him and get a gift (and a satsuma apparently). The boys don't know about this yet, hope to be able to keep it a surprise

Welcome back Gem, we've missed you, I LOVE your notebooks on facebook xxx

Glad you have had a nice day Rainmac and got lots of lovely pressies. I had an email from Craftworks cards too and tied to order 2 goody bags but the stupid bank still haven't sorted out my bank cards and the verified bit is still wrong so it won't accept my order Never mind I need a stash ban anyway lol

CT I'm so glad you have had a good first day and I really hope it continues to be good for you.

Rainmac - they look lovely I just cant choose. Oh that will be a nice surprise for the boys. My youngest just wont go and see him cant tell you the amount we have wasted and then he just wont see him - we could have seen him for free in the Metrocentre - but he said - nah I dont really do Santa - I'll just write to him:o and my oldest doesnt believe - gutted:o!!!!
Gemm - am exhausted just reading what you have been doing:D.

Has anyone had any of these designs before - I'm sure they used to show more in the pics on Craftwork Cards but can't quite decide which 1 / 2 / 3 to buy?:D

Which ones are everyone buying - I'm thinking Monochrome and Ruby Tuesday
