Thanks FF ,I signed up yonks ago but have only recently started to do it.I tried the surveys and got rejected right at the end of evryone. The search engine isnt on chrome yet so will have to stick to daily polls and tv:D

Apologies for hijacking Flyin' however I use Chrome never too old and haven't downloaded the toolbar (because you cant :cool:) ~ I just search using the search function on the sw*gbucks site where it says 'search and win' (I think) Hope this helps as it's a good booster to the old bucks total

For some reason i can't see the picture of the card but am sure its fab and well done on winning another competition too :T:T:T

My neighbour has just been with a box of goodies from you :j:j:j - apparently the postie dropped them off there the other day - but as i had no little card through the door to tell me this i was none the wiser and was getting a little anxious! *****Squeeee! ****** I :smileyhea it all - although i've known your cards are brill from your blog getting these materials has really made me see why you can keep adding to your stash for card making - everything is so gorgeous! Thank you so so much for such a lovely box of goodies

Hope your little cat gets better soon too x Also hope the printer is fixed

And thank you so much once again

Glad you got it all ok DFW, hope you can make good use of it all Get yourself a blog set up and come and join us all in the Making Cards thread. It looks like a general chat thread, and to a point it is, but we're cardmakers of all types of ability and styles and you'll get some great ideas.

Hi flying

i hope your cats feeling better now

i may experiment on my own a bit before looking at blogging - yours and everyones cards i've seen look fantastic i did look at buying a book today with a voucher i got at xmas - but couldn't work out which would be the best one to go :think: for and there wasn't alot of choice. Sometimes they have card magazines at the supermarket but they are a little costly so i'll see if its a magazine with a pack of freebies too

Hope you've had a good weekend x

Most of the mags have some kind of freebie. Maybe try a trial subscription? I saw that one of them recently had five issues for a fiver...can't remember which one though Useful freebies when you're just starting out will probably be papers or stamps. I don't bother with free glitters/embellishments as they're not usually to my taste.

Speaking of blogging, I've put two new cards on my blog tonight. I'm particularly impressed with the circular one I managed (although there was a little cursing involved )

Update post to follow!

So. Payday was Friday and all the money has now been allocated out. The current situation is:

PAD/Spends - £70
Entertainment - £50
Food - £128.07

The food budget was originally £224.15 (Extra £20 added this month as I knew I had a bulk spend planned for catfood, the other £4.15 was left over from last month)

The loan balance hasn't updated online as there have been payments made over the weekend. I'm pretty sure that by the time I get paid again I'll have taken the balance under £4000.

I sold a few bits and pieces on Facebook this weekend, so have money coming through for that and have left a small balance in my Paypal account for any essential craft bargains

Hopeful1

F_F I have just realised why I love your cards so much - they are co-ordinated with lots of symmetry - just how i like to do things! The circular one is very clever - good work! I'm not sure i'd have the patience.

Hi FF I'm into card making myself albeit rather amateurish but find the whole process so relaxing. I also go to a card club once a month to learn new tecniques etc. Can you give me the info on the Card Making thread please, I've looked and couldn't find it.

By the way, love looking at your cards. They are so good :T
