    Hmmm...

    Thought I would stay in the office today at lunchtime and resist the urge to spend money.

    The I got an email from the Joanna Sheen site telling me that the Prima flowers I had wanted were back in stock. £9.99 away! :D

    The white ones I want aren't back in stock yet :( but I did get the mixed colour ones last week and they are lovely :).

    Good luck Carmim, hope you get the job.

    Lovely day here too. Took Poppy for a long walk in the woods, bluebells not out yet but she had a lovely time running through the dead leaves then on the path back decided she wanted to taste horse poo _pale_ then found a soft doggy poo so decided to rub her face in it :doh:. Guess who's just had a bath :rotfl: . She's gone all curly 'cos I can't get her coat as dry as the groomer with a home hairdryer.

    Hope you're all having such lovely weather.

    Hi All, :wave: Just popping in to tempt you again! :naughty:Create & Craft are celebrating their 8th birthday this weekend so its Free postage from today until 9pm Monday. That's a good thing 'cos their normal postage cost is way too expensive.

    While I'm here, many congratulations to Melissa. :)

    It's not as expensive as QVC who charge you per item! I bought two things from them last week and ended up having to pay £12 in P&P!

    Carmin, best of luck with the interview, take along some of the work you've done to show you are a fab crafter so someone customers will be able to relate to xxx


    Thanks rainmac, I had put my blop addy on the application so they could take a look at what crafts I do, and she seemed quite impressed by it, plus Im a member of the craft club there so they know me a wee bity.

    I blobbed a card this afternoon and a couple of you have commented on the faux stitching. Alas, I can't take the credit (I'm not that neat!), the stitching is actually part of the print on the paper.

    Thanks for the link to the freebie Rainmac, it's lovely!
