    Thanks - I'm a long time sufferer with depression and kinda know the signs before a slump so make myslf do something - which I've done Went to the post office and posted 2 things I've sold. A book (through green metropolis) and a knitted phone cover (like the one on my bl*g)

    I've got a couple of comissioned cards to make and of course the challenge card. Just need to clear enough space to do it, coz the table still has some painting stuff on it.

    Oh and if anybody lives in or around Newport in the South Wales area, Caroles Crafts are planning to open a store in the town/city centre.

    I can relate well girlies, I've felt much the same lately, the good thing this time is I have managed to do a lot of crafty things and its helping whereas before I didn't look at any of my stuff. Sending hugs both your ways and to anyone else whose feeling bit down in the dumps x

    Went to B&M with my brother today and picked up 4 cut small jar things to keep my candi in so I'm starting to get there with some craft room arranging :) another 2 week line from doc so hopefully I can craft to my hearts content

    Twinkle x

    Twinks and anyone else suffering with depression, sending you huge hugs. My OH has now been off work for the past 7/8 weeks with chronic depression, He's never felt like this in the thirty odd years I've known him, he just couldn't face getting into his lorry cab and drive another day on the M25. Our doc has been brilliant and he's going for counselling in a few days time.

    Still looking for a ticket punch.

    Does it have to be a punch or will a stamp do?

    There is plenty of support for single parents, plus it is easier if they are at school/nursery. I used to do it when I was on my own with Thomas, and pregnant with Maddison. good luck.

    Hope all the poorlys are feeling better soon ... not caught up, things been up in the air here, with fighting sister in laws and crowbars and cops!!

    They have some good videos on there too, just seen one for a pop up card and it was so simple to make. Going to have a play with some ideas as soon as I get some some double sided tape.
