Mummyslittleboy - fabulous cards on your blog - love the sparkle on your xmas ones!!!! Your bracelets are stunning too - are they really easy to make - they look really complicated?

Thanks the cards are getting better slowly but want to get some promarkers and some stamps really.
The bracelets are really easy to make I bought them in a kit of ebay for £2.49 inc p+p and the seller emailed me the instructions to me all you need is a pair of round nose pliers, I have done 4 of them now and am going to get a couple more and make for my god daughters for christmas.
I did the green one whilst I was watching x factor tonight!!

If you want the link to the seller I got mine from I can pm you a link.

Just thought I'd pop on before I go to bed, l haven't forgotten you all. Seems ages since I came on but probably only a day or so.

Like most of you Blogger has been a beggar but I'm slowly catching up.

Haven't made any cards lately. I had time this afternoon but decided to have a lazy Sunday afternoon and treated myself to watching something I recorded from TV a while ago. Managed to wear Poppy out with a good run on the beach with her sister at lunchtime so she slept at my feet while I indulged! It was a sneaky ploy to get her to walk on her lead, I bought one of those lead couplers where you can walk two dogs with one lead and she was so keen to go out with her sister she forgot to be stubborn and sit down :rotfl: .

We might have cracked it though, we've got an extending lead so she can run on the beach so I've started using that instead of her normal lead when I take her out now and she seems happier so I'm hoping this is the answer. Can't begin to understand why it should make a difference but if it works that's fine.

KMS Don't get put off any longer, please get something sorted with the Dr or hospital about your fainting.

Soma and Gem glad you've both had a great time away.

Melissa Hope Elliott settles soon.

Curly Where in Wales did you go? We've had lovely weather this weekend in N.W. Wales.

Addams Well done on your win.

Must get to bed now. Hope to catch up with blogs tomorrow. Hugs to all.

Popping in to say hi!!! Just got back from a couple of nights on the coast at a place called Monterey Bay. Lovely place and very scenic. We did a lot of walking around and went on a whale spotting boat trip for over 3 hours! The trip was nice but we didn't see that much just a few whales under the water blowing the water and the back of a whale and it's tail as it came up and flipped abit!!! We went out a very long way into the Pacific and I did wonder where the sharks were!!! The water there is freezing though so maybe too cold for sharks!!! We got soaking wet as the sea was very choppy and I nearly fell as the boat lurched. My OH looked round and I was not there and he thought I had gone overboard!!! One poor lady must have fell and hit her head as she was quite poorly inside the cabin with a cold bottle held to her head. I will post some pics in the usual place tomorrow when I've had a chance to go through them!

A belated Happy Birthday to Padster - hope you had a great day x

Hope everyone else is ok - sorry only scanned through all the posts and I will be quite behind on blogs as well so may not be able to comment on all. I will try to have a good look though!!

This week is my last full week here so will be busy getting everything up together and trying to get my luggage to weigh the right amount!

Gemma - glad you got home safe, sounds like you had a fab time. I won't enter your competition as I know how much you were spending and the prices of the stuff you bought lol - I will give someone else a chance to win it!!! I got some nice MS glitter pens with that 50% of MS voucher that I sent to you!!!! Did you buy any Mod Podge??

Louby - We were going to emigrate to canada like your friends too, but it also fell through. It was such a shame, its a lovely country.

Kms - hope you get someone to see you at the doctors today

Tomsmom - Its nice to have a relax sometimes. I did yesterday too. I sat and watch Calamity Jane which I recorded last week. It was a great film, a real feel good one!

PONR - Your whaling trip sounds a bit eventful!

Hope everyone has a good day. Hugs to all. xx

Mummyslittleboy - yes please could I have the link? Although I really shouldn't start on anything else - I bought loads of balls of wool last year intent on trying to crochet and its all still in the bag!

Pointofnoreturn - sounds like you've had a great weekend - I've always wanted to go whale spotting - hopefully one day I will!

kms hope you have some joy at the doctors,my youngest daughter suffers with the same kind of symptons,she just drops ,especially if she is under stress or in a bit of a hurry,she went to the hospital,they told her it was something to do with the vegus nerve behind her neck ,she was worried because she drive her 2 girls everywhere,but they told her she couldn.t faint if she was sitting down so no chance of fainting while driving.
I hope yours is just something simple ,please let us know.
melissa hope Elliot is much better soon and sleeping better for you,I used to hate those broken nights,I still remember,even if it was over 30 years ago,lol.
Made another card last night will take pic later and post pics,
Hope you are all ok,theres a beautiful blue sky out of my window,so heres hoping for a lovely day ,washing ,here I come.

Morning all!

KMS - hope it all goes ok at the doctors for you. They seem to be being really harsh, surely they have appts available on the day for emergencies?

I haven't made a card in a couple of days :eek: I'm losing my Christmas card mojo I think! I did make a little calendar last night using a stamp from Little Claire, so will blog this soon - it's a present for someone though so I can't blog it until she receives it! I need to make a birthday card this morning, so will go and do that now. Hope everyone has a great day!
