Making cards - Ideas (part 5)

RustyFlange

Helloooooooooo so sorry I have been AWOL since before christmas, things have been manic here! :j but I have loved it! DS was poorly christmas eve, and started being sick at 6am christmas morning, I was dreading the rest of the day, but he took it easy and had regular lie downs and managed to be playing hide and seek with Grandad at 11pm on christmas night!

No sign of my secret santa, and haven't seen if mine has been recieved yet

I got loads of stuff for christmas, 5 packs of nesties, although Oyster stamps chicked in the lacy squares for free as we had a few problems with the order :j a punch, some CC packs, and a few other bits. Plus OH paid for my hobbycraft order yesterday :eek: £40+ but couldn't get any of the bigger packs of papers.
Giggle the Dear Santa pad can you tell me how much you paid for it please? or better still take a picture of the price on your reciept so I can go back and tell my local one they are thieving swines? I really wanted it but it was still priced up at £20

Oh and OH got me a ring .....



Now before you all start thinking and presuming, it wasn't that kind of ring as I aint that lucky ... but it was a puzzle ring, which I absolutely love :j

Louby - I have looked all over at craft sites in the sales and nothing is grabbing my attention either

Oooh and I won top 5 at Meljens :j

will try and keep up a bit more from now on! :j

hope everyone has had a fab Christmas

I too have had a look through the craft sales and nothing really shouts out "buy me" I have ordered the do crafts magazine (thanks rainmac) so maybe I will be bit more inspired.

our Christmas was very quiet. ds2 had a temperature and was asleep by 6pm. my wisdom tooth decided to become infected on Christmas eve so I have had a very painful week and def haven't overeaten as it hurts too much:( it has been the longest bank holiday ever till I could get to the dentist's. I now have antibiotics so hopefully it will clear up soon.

rusty what nesties did you get?

Oh Ouch poor you bunbun
hope your better soon xx

hi guys, i hope you ave a had a great christmas, mine was slightly different to normal, my mum fell asleep at 9pm, but she had done well to stay awake that late. unfortunately on boxing day we walked around to my aunties and my auntie was hugging my mum to say thank you, but did it on the head!!?? we were worried about the children accidently touching her head, and it was a my aunty! so that wiped her out out for the next 2 days. i'm back at home now and i have to say i'm thankful but feel sorry for my dad dealing with it everyday, as her short term memory isn't working at the moment but she won't acknowledge it all the time. but enough family stuff and back to the craft!

santa husband bought me some promarkers, 1 double so i need to arrange some swaps at some point. an A3 blue cutting mat (quite a challenge as the majority are all pink or green!) we went to hobby craft and bought some bargains, that i will photo and put on the blog at some point.

but whilst i'm here i wonder if any of you have any examples of a wedding card i can make for my sister in law. thank you in advance x

rusty the little surprise gift still hasn't arrived, i think the postie doesn't like you posting things to me.

tomsmom i'm so glad that your dh was allowed home for christmas xxx
