    Flourgirl - Your GD's sleeps calander is lovely, clearly crafting is in the genes ;)

    Hollie - your makes are lovely, shame your Xmas sweeties broke :(

    No crafting as of yet today, shall need my miners helmet as it's soooooo dark.

    OK yet another question.......rather than hand drawing stripes on a sheet of paper to make Bah Humbug bags is there any way to do it through Word on the computer? I am soooooo not an IT techie but I do have a decent printer (courtesy of my dad) so could easily print the background off. Only no idea how to do it :o

    I am no expert either but could you insert a table & have the columns coloured in? As I said no idea really...I'll get me coat...oh & NO TAKE THAT tickets for me I hold no hope.

    Hollie - love your makes..........:T So sorry to hear about your grandad.........hugs (((((:o)))) to you and your family

    Nothing done today apart from packing teenage grandkids christmas shoe boxes so they're all ready.
    Young girl came up to wiz round with the Henry.
    Sorted through some christmas card stuff to make cards for grandkids and pop in with their pressies.........might get that done tomorrow.
    Meant to go to the sweet shop but might do that on Monday instead.
    Plan for the weekend is to try and get all the other christmas pressies packed and wrapped........(thats the plan anyway).............lol:rotfl:
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !

    thanks for the website flourgirl :D

    Hogshead - A couple of people I know have managed to get tickets. No idea how mind you! Sorry but I wouldn't go and see Take That with Robbie in the line up for all the tea in China. Can't stand that bloke :o anyhoo off to see A-ha next month, that'll do me and no issues for tickets yay!

    Well, I've gone and done it now.....I went and ordered the SU punches today (for ES decs), as well as card and card blanks with envelopes...that should keep me occupied for a bit! ;)

    Macpep - I have ordered everything except the cello bags...soo much choice, which ones did you go for may I ask? Want to get some of the pretzel bags too, but the seller seems to be away until next Monday...how dare she have half-term away!!! :rotfl:I have managed to get bags for A6/C6 cards (50 for £1), can I use them for the Reindeer poo as well? They are a bit large, but I will cut them down. If I had a bag sealer I could have made two out of each bag, very MSE! :D!!

    Ooh curly re sissix big shot well done you!!! :T I am just embarking on this stamping/crafting lark and want to have a play with a few things before committing myself to big expensive bits of equipment...but I can see the sense of getting one if lots of things need to made to sell (which I would like to do).

    Glad you are starting to get your stuff sorted. I mentioned to DH this morning, that if we had a sideboard-type thing in the conservatory...I could sort out and hide all (well, most :D) of my crafting stuff...and he agreed!!! :eek: I nipped into a couple of second-hand shops this morning, found one which was a bit pricey, but will have a look on e**y and freegle this weekend...you never know what I might find!!

    I think I am coming down with the crafting bug...and it looks terminal ...but it looks like I am in pretty good company
    :rotfl:

    Have a productive weekend everyone!

    It sure does. I mean if we all fancied the same blokes I'd have to be lusting after Brad Pitt and David Beckham :eek:
    I just don't find arrogance an attractive trait :o

    I am most definately coming down with the crafting bug too :o
