Its so nice to see a tiny bit of grass showing in the garden as the snow melts.too slow though for my liking,please go snow,please.

Just like to remind you lovely crafty ladies that my challenge this time is to make a Valentine card,you have until 7th of January to get your cards done,you could use some of your marvellous Crimbo presents you all had,
I.m still looking for a nice little gift to give the winner,something crafty,me thinks.

***waves*** well that's xmas out the way for another year

We had a very quiet time but still managed to fall out royally yesterday - all better today though OH is really unwell today which probably didn't help.

I had loads of stuff including a cinch machine from OH :j plus some stamps and papers from DD.
I seem to have spent quite a bit since then though at Craft superstore and Sir Stampalot (naughty Rainmac) plus OH has ordered himself a new laptop for his birthday next month although it took ages to sort the payment out as Tesco after blocking his pin last week decided to freeze his card again - happens almost every time he tries to use it great way to stop us spending though.

Haven't forgotten your challenge Artydoll but I was made to play hunt the table so we could have xmas dinner and haven't claimed it back yet.

Hugs to everyone

My card is coming together, should be finished tonight and then I will blog it. It is lovely to get a head start on some 'need to make' cards

Tomsmom, so sorry to hear you are poorly, sounds painful. My youngest has had an awful cold and cough for days now. A friend told me to give him a spoonful of neat honey before he goes to bed along with Ibuprofen and it seems to help him settle.

Padster, sorry to make you spend but the sale is soooo good Sorry to hear your OH is poorly, wish my lot would go out for the day so I could have a tidy up and spend the rest of the time crafting. You can hardly see my floor for Lego and other boy stuff, good excuse to leave the cleaning for another day I guess

Padster - my OH only realises he's not well when I shout at him because he's being [STRIKE]an a*se[/STRIKE] difficult! So I can sympathise. Please what is a cinch machine?

Tomsmum - sorry you are poorly - I like original benylin (doesn't necessarily make my throat/chest better but it's wonderful for sleeping)

rainmac - think I'll have a little look at the sites you have recommended, I've not [STRIKE]needed[/STRIKE] bought anything for ages. I'd leave the tidying/cleaning 'til they are back at work/school, you are on holiday too you know!

Georgiegirl - Welcome - you've got another follower.

Artydoll - thanks for the reminder - I'll probably still be on the last minute!

I've been trying to tidy and sort my craft stuff and rearrange my desk today. DH has noticed because there is now space to put down any drink he brings me!

LOL Marg mine mus have been supremely unwell then.

This is a cinch like a big hole punch really but it binds.

Just been and spent my Crafty ribbons voucher - took me about 2 hours to choose.

Lego is a good excuse for no housework Rainmac as DD has got older her presents take up less room so I don't have that excuse. Her dad bought her an Ipod which has kept her busy. The zhu zhu hamster things have been great for keeping the cat awake too :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Evening ladies,hope you are well - another one who has been to Hobbycraft (at Teesside park) - rubbish after I saw pics of people getting dcwv packs for £2.99 - nothing like that here - although I did get the docrafts mag and a half price fern punch (which was on offer before xmas) but no further reductions - might keep trying my luck though and keep popping in if I am passing;)

Rainmac- congrats on your win - lovely stuff there missus.
Marg - lol at your oh- do you think its just something in mens genes to be a@*ses whether they are poorly or not :rotfl:

Made my neices card tonight and got the engagement card nearly done just waiting for the glossy accents to dry and will hopefully blog it tomorrow.

Tomsmum hope you are better soon

We are going to Aberdeen on friday for the weekend, does anyone know if there are any bargains at the Hobbycraft there

well i was right hobbycraft was rubbish, it looked good as it had 70% stickers every where but it wasn't anything you would want. I looked every where for paper packs. They had a few reduced but only a couple of quid so i left it and walked out empty handed.

Quite worried about myself really as i have just been on a couple of craft web-sites and nothing has took my fancy! what's that about?

Oh dear, I'm afraid that money saving thing has become second nature - did you ask yourself "Do I want it or do I need it?"

I can write you a list if you like.:D

louby-lou-lou

yes MSE must be burnt on my brain and nope didn't ask myself anything just don't like anything in the sale so far and i really wanted to buy myself some crafty bits too.
