    Are they the kind of stamps you use in card making LT? I make cards.


    My second is doing tarot readings, I know some people don't agree with it but the company I work for are pretty good. They helped me get setup as self-employed and sort out my tax as it being a second job. I could potentially make about £100 a week, but it depends how much time I spend logged on and how many people want readings. I tend to do my clicks and surveys whilst waiting on readings coming through. My wages get paid once a week directly into my bank account.

    yes they're all card making stamps, i have loads! lol
    tarot readings sound interesting, i wonder how you do that but won't ask as you're probably not allowed to say

    I've been card making for many years LT and bought a Xyron printer with my bonus from work (<£30 all in for everything for it), the rest went on car repairs and last week.

    Just had row with stepson, told him to get a grip. He was arguing we should just scrap the car and buy a new one! Err.... what with? He wasn't getting it at all. Then he suggested we buy a little car like his, told him not practical for us. He went on and on, lost it, told him keep his nose out of stuff he's too young to comment on and that we need a bigger car end of discussion. He tried to keep the arguement going and I basically said to him enough or you can start paying same dig money here as you'd be paying at your Auntie's. .............Funnily enough he shut up. Hate being the wicked witch, but why do that age group (sorry I'm generalising here) think they know everything? At that age i wouldn't have dared speak to someone my age or older the way he does. Maybe its just me.


    OH is going to pay Mum back, he says its least he can do as he owes me so much money. My Mum said good and that its about time he helped me out a bit more, his son should be too.

    Had huge bubble (cry) a little while ago, stuff still getting to me. Done some Vivatic tonight but not felt upto anything else.

    LT if you want to know more about the tarot we can take it offline (email probably easiest). As I said I tend to keep quieter about it as some people dont agree with it.

    thanks Uni.
    I've been making cards for years as well but i'm more into scrapbooking these days, i still do the odd card but i have a lot of things that i doubt i'll ever be using.

    I love making cards LT, still buying stuff.

    Ok, me and my big mouth. Have been roped into making the following (I know it'll be fun and I'll probably enjoy it, panicked as realised I have no cellophane so have had to order some next day delivery).

    a 10th wedding anniversary card (from husband to wife)
    a baby shower card
    a mummy & me hamper (half for the new baby and half for Mum, again baby shower)
    a nappy cake


    hampers I've had loads of practise, nappy cakes I've made a few. But want to make it look special.
