Making cards - Ideas (part 5)

ScattyJan

Welcome back flying_fresian not so bad coming home when you have stash waiting for you.
miss Maid thats a lovely card.
Have I missed Marg posting? I havent managed to keep up very well on here since moving so am not sure if she has gone away?
Our new extension is coming along a treat and my bathroom would have been finished until they plumbed in the new loo and it was leaking!! (more about leaks in a mo) - bath store were very good at replacing it and delivered a new one at 6.30 yesterday morning!!!!!!!!! that would not have been so bad but the night before we had put the heating on and had a flood from one of the bedrooms into the dining room - immediatly thinking it was the new plumbing in the bathroom and as granite floor tiles had been laid the easist root up was to cut a hole in dining room ceiling !! All great fun.
Love to you all

Oooooh and there was me thinking you were dead nice ... so nice and posh that me and choccy had to have a swear box in the car :rotfl: hehehe I will never forget that journey with you lot

I am terrible, I have several empty boxes in my units still and the dining room table is covered again, I just pushed some bits back so the kids can have breakfast in the morning!!

Miss Maid - Welcome to the madhouse :j love your first ever card :thumb:

Melissa - How do you get so much done?? well done on the bargain sofa, we ordered a new one last week, and as daft as it sounds I felt ever so grown up cause before I moved in with OH, I had only ever had 2nd hand (and free) sofas, at one point my sofa was a wicker cane style chair lol ... anyway we have a nice leather electric recliner 3 seater thingy coming in 9 weeks, and a bog standard chair :j I don't think I can say how much it was .... not very MSE!

Can't sleep so going to blog a card I made yesterday :j

ooh look forward to your recliner, we have electric recliners and they are sooo comfortable its unreal, so nice being able to put your feet up at the touch of a button! you will never want to move again once you sit down, trust me :rotfl:

I was up till half 2 last night/morning as well, I think I am still suffering from a bit of jet lag, grr!

Good morning all!

I'm back from my wee trip away (and am entirely exhausted) and have a morning of washing and cleaning ahead of me - woo!

I did come back to an amazing amount of post though including my recent win of the full set of Cupcake Cutie stamps and my order from Elzybells. I accidentally ordered two of the same stamp from there, so that will be providing part of the prize for the challenge this week - remember to get your entries in to me by Sunday!

Once the house is a bit more shipshape I plan to sit in front of the telly and do some cardmaking. I'm also going to blog my new stash I thought that being in the Highlands I wouldn't have the chance to add to my stash but as we were driving through the outskirts of Inverness yesterday I noticed a garden centre with a sign that said "For all your crafting needs". Mr Fresian was ordered to turn the car around and I spent a very happy 20 minutes in there going through an excellent cardmaking/crafting selection - I managed to restrain myself though and only spent £10 :A

Hope everyone is having a lovely morning.

welcome back, glad you had a fab time! What is the challenge atm, I think I must have missed it somehow

The challenge is "Festive Fun" - I thought it would be quite an easy one for people to do as, if you're anything like me, your cardmaking is Christmas themed at the moment!

I'll post a list later on of all the people I have on my list who have entered the challenge so I don't miss anyone out!

Yes Gem the builders are preety good they are going to be here sometime with all the work they have, they said they will make the ceiling better. Our lounge is looking lush just waiting for the fire and thats completed :-)

Flying fresian forgot about the challenge i'll try and make one later . Or can i enter the xmas snail one i did for my charity post?


oooh melissa and rusty a new couch how lovely. I got a new corner one in jan and it's fab we did consider the recliner ones but they do need a little more room so we didn't bother.


Scatty Leaks don't sound good but at least you got them sorted quickly. Shame about the ceiling but better than ruining the tiles.

Lizalloareds hope you get the printer sorted something always goes wrong when i use mine.


Miss Maid that card is lovely i love the flower

I was up til gone 4am cause my legs were playing up then fell asleep on the sofa, OH wasn't too happy that I slept downstairs when he came home :rotfl: Oh well!! We have recliners already, but debated about getting electric recline so went for it ... can't wait for it to arrive, just in time for christmas, hopefully it will inspire OH to redecorate the living room!

busy busy today, got loads to do but just can't be bothered, couldn't get blogger to play ball last night so going to try again in a bit

Myz - glad you managed to sort out your bank problem and managed to sell some of your ebay stuff too.

Melissa - Hope the party goes ok and all your visits aren't too stressfull.

Miss Maid - Lovely card! Love that flower

Rusty - We had one of those wicker cane two seaters and chair too. It was all we could afford at the time! Your new sofa sounds lovely. I would love to get one of those reclining ones. My mum has a two seater and two chairs and they all recline!

Welcome back flying-fresian - What a nice return getting your cupcake stamps. Bet you cant wait to use them!

Scatty - Sounds like you are having a few trials at the moment! Hope it gets better soon.

Off to get some lunch sorted and then ferry the kids where they want to go!

Hugs to all. xx
