Hi Liz

Not sure if you would want to do something like this card, that I did for a golfer, but you could easily find some embellishments for gardening. I've bought some in wilkinson before. The recipient I gave it to loved it.

hello again everyone!
Crafting seemed to go ok last night and I have a dozen or so fully made up coaster calendars, 20 coaster post its, 20 or so coereved beer mats and 75 reindeer toppers + I found a floow paper-stroker amongst the Mums so all in all not bad for a few hours work. the film night raised £250 too.
Spent all day setting up me mew lappy and wifi so am currently making the most of it by sitting on the sofa and watching tv at same time as typing. Trickier than it looks ;-)

DTB, so glad that your crafting session last night went well. Sounds like you made loads. Enjoy being wifi on your lappy, best thing I ever did!

Thanks CT - I've been meaning to do it since about March but never quite found time to buy one - I've never had a laptop before because of issues with screen size but this one has 17 inches so that should be ok. Eyes are a bit bad at the mo so no contact lenses for me and I can still (just about) see the screen (if I squint a bit) with my glasseson.
Longer term plan is to buy some additional software and hook it up to my cricut so I can use more shapes without buying more cartridges. Maybe if I'm good Father Christmas will bring me something.

by the way, well done on your mammoth crafting session DTB

hi everyone
I am sooooooo sorry to have been missing for so long. I haven't had the time or inclination to make anything recently so not had anything to contribute on here. however...I have now made my first Christmas card so this could be the revival of my mojo! I have also been sent a few craft robo files so have been playing with that - thank you:A.
if it is OK I would like to enter my Christmas card into flying_fresians challenge and say a big thank you for this challenge as hopefully it has given me a kick to start my Christmas cards:j

I will catch up more tomorrow but just want to say rusty will I be allowed to sit down when I come to your house:rotfl:
