Thanks Guys - Ordered a mug, pen, notebook and business cards (just his name and number) for my brother in law in a workman style (hammer, saw background etc) He's an unemployed site manager and is always doing odd jobs for people so that will do for his crimbo along with some other bits and pieces in like a hamper style! He likes Guinness so might try the pint glass trick.. along with some other things!

Oh and the topcashback trick worked this time! Thanks to whoever gave recent instructions in how to do it!

Susan42 those icecream cone cupcakes look brilliant!!! I have 2 birthday cakes to make today for my twins birthday party tomorrow, you don't travel do you

I too have been bitten by the vistaprint bug and have got a mug for my sons 18th, pen and pad for mum for mothers day, pen for oh for fathers day, lots of bits and bobs for my fund raising committee and a bag for me!!! I love it. Also going to go on hotprints and do mum a photobook of all her children and grandchildren. Free for 4 so may have to do some others on there too.

Take care all

Hi girls , sorry I have been missing in action

Had the busiest 2-3 weeks.

A long with work , over time and college I have also been to my first long adult weekend in butlins which was amazing! So much fun.

I am also looking for other jobs in nursing/health care assistant.

Last week a parent came into my work to pick her kid up , she had been eating peanuts and she breathed near my face and my face swelled i went wheezy , thats the first time in around 16 years ive been near peanuts (cant stand smell ect) went to docs he said I have to carry epipen/adreninline and totally avoid all nuts i took a photo at the time of my face and he said i was probably one nut away from anaphalatic shock so not fun at all plus my sleepwalking and lack of sleep is concerning him so have to use another spray before bed and go to a sleep clinic for monitoring x

Sponge, Erins is a princess with the skirt cake and top a doll. Jacks is a pirate treasure chest with gold choc coins, jelly sweet rings and candy necklaces as treasure. That's the plan anyway.

They sound lovely stepmum, i used to make my twins half and half , it looked weird but it was a laugh

junior - you be careful with those nuts.

Hello all :j

susan - love the goodies you've made but I'm a hopeless ''cook''..................lol

Well,had a rough night last night........well from 5am this morning so not done a lot today except make couple of easter cards -know its a bit early but it gave me something different to do. Got my box of felt out and cut out couple of bunny rabbit heads and stuck them on some card with some carrot embellishments I'd got...............one will do for little grandson and the other for my son I think.........it'll give him a laugh..................lol

Was going to plod on with foster daughters kitchen plaque but she's coming round some time this weekend and not sure when so I've hidden it till next week.

Found the scrapbook papers I'd lost:T They'd fallen down the back of the drawers in comp. desk.........I knew I'd put them in there............so, least I know I'm not going mad.................lol:)

Hope you're all ok:)

Thats awful Junior, thats a bad allergy you have if breathing peanuts on you can cause effect. Hope you feel better soon.
