Morning ladies

I spent a very relaxing evening last night colouring with my Promarkers and cutting out stamped images with my new Nesties :j They are a belated birthday present from my brother and although I just have circle ones at the moment, the scalloped ones are on their way too. I don't know how I coped without being able to cut perfect circles

Free book is again crafting related on Snazal so thought I would mention it! http://snazal.com/freebook

I got ribbon in the Paperchase sale and managed to find 5m for 25p Worth checking local haberdasheries too...

I use my Nesties in a Cuttlebug. The Bug was a present though for Christmas. The ones I'm using are these and I'm waiting for these to arrive. My brother was really confused when I asked for them..."You want circles for your birthday?!" He just doesn't get it!


In terms of spends, you really don't need Nesties if you're just starting out on cardmaking. I waited until I'd been doing it for a while before I asked for the Cuttlebug for Christmas and the Nesties for my birthday. If I'm in a hurry to make a card I just cut a square out and use a corner punch to smooth the corners - the punch I use was about £3

Wifey Hope you had a good day yesterday, what a special day to have your birthday on

Thank you for all your birthday wishes, my Sister came round yesterday and looked through all your cards and was amazed that you had all taken the trouble to make a card for someone you have never met, thank you so much and I will try and put them on my bl*g tomorrow.

Well it was my Dad's birthday yesterday too so all the family are going round to my parents for a buffet so will try and catch up properly tomorrow, thanks again for all my wonderful cards.

Mine too but he's no longer with us. Had a remembrance moment yesterday.

Well done Scatty Jan :T.

Been AWOL most of this week again . Mom is back in hospital after another fall last weekend, gone doolally again (these were her words last time, not mine!), I'm still not in a position to go and see her, hospital wont tell me much as I've not been put down as next of kin, just my brother and he's being such a swine - he "hasn't got time for this, he's fed up with it and his family come first" and mom comes way down the list :eek:. I really can't say what I think about him, it would get censored!

I actually made a very last minute card for my DD's anniversary, I might get around to blogging it sometime :rotfl: . I wasn't very impressed with it, haven't made a card for so long it actually didn't come easily! Might have to buy a Spongebob card, if I can find one, for my DGS, I'm really not in the mood for cardmaking at the moment.

Hope everyone is well and hugs to all.
