Afternoon ladies, just gettin cosy watching the cycling on tv although not sure why as I watch half behind a cushion when they fall off:eek:

Twinkle/Oap - enjoy the SECC - I am waiting for the slightly tamer Harrogate Papercrafts I've been really good and not bought for ages to try and save up. (ooh p.s. cinnamon cashews sound lovely are they home made???).
CT - hope to get your surfer in the post first class tomorrow xx

Right back to watching these nutters on bikes - lovely thighs though - cough!;)

Oh no, I did have to smile though as I think incidents like this only happen in our house (I have to clear up after a cat and 3 messy males!). I hope your OH is busy cleaning up the bathroom.

Twinkle, thank you for the tip about vapour rub. A friend of mine told me to do the same, I thought she was mad but it is obviously a trusted remedy x

I am jealous of you ladies going to the show, have a wonderful time

I really should do the ironing but I am going to leave it, make a start on the dinner and then read a couple of chapters of my latest book if my house will allow. I'm reading The Girl Who Chased The Moon and am loving it, thoroughly recommend

Anyone got any links for ideas of how to do writing/wording on cards? Don't like the writing I put on this birthday card...

Scattyjan.. thats my challenge entry on tinternet

Rebekahr... I just type mine in word, then cut out, mount onto backing card and put onto card with dst or 3d foam. That means I can choose the style of font I think suits the card HTH

Addams - thankyou I sure will! I've been saving for this one!

Ali.b.123 - I look forward to the show every 6 months not only for the card making goodness but theres a man has a stall there and he sells allsorts of nuts...ahem...cashews i particualry like lol and they are coated in this machine things he has with cinnamon. Absolutely delicious n a must try if you ever get the chance!

rainmac - I laughed at first when I heard about it but had to try it anyway and was very! pleased with the result! Everey time I hear anyone mention coughs or unsettled nights I'm on the case telling them to get their old socks and vics out! lol x

I'm getting mixed up with whose blogs I'm following and not lol I'm slowly working my way through many of you! Your blogs are all so lovely and your cards are beautiful! Your such an inspiration u lovely bunch!

Sorry Twinkle I won't be able to get bargain info to you as we are staying down after the show and won't have internet access till we get home.

I don't think I noticed the chashew man last time but will be looking out for him as I love nuts.

Hello all :j

Thanks for the tip about vic and socks.............lol Made note of that just in case.

Started sorting out last years old christmas cards this morning and cutting bits off I can re-use. Would have got loads done now I've made a start but had to stop when locksmith came............our lad locked the front door last night with a bit too much brute force I think and it wouldn't open:eek:
Locksmith called (no extra weekend charge as he lives local) but still was £79 :eek: But at least the door now open and shuts and locks................lol:)
I'll go back to christmas cards tomorrow maybe:)
I know its early but if I don't make a start I'll get in a right pickle later on.

Afternoon ladies,I have been trying to update my...am I allowed to name the place ?:rotfl:
Having looked at so many on here which are fab :T I'm inspired to do more-'promise.
Two questions
1,I have been able to add a couple of buttons from other places but these had written codes which I copied and pasted but I can't do the MSE which let's face it is one of the most important.So step by step (idiot proof)instructions would be soo welcome.
2,any tips on adding ribbon to cards ? which ever way I do it ,it always ends up bulky or looking "stuck on"
The clock's ticking for me as we're allotmenteers mostly so this grotty weather has given me lot's of delicious time for cardmaking but it's warming up and the sun keeps showing his face so I'm crafting on borrowed time:shhh:
ps thankyou for this wonderful thread I don't often contribute but read it regularly and learn loads.:)
