    Thanks for letting me know how to link up - I've just done it and had a quick sneaky peak at yours. Will be back later to look in depth as you have made some wonderful creations xxx

    Thanks! Love your first blog post... you really made me chuckle!! I will turn a blind eye to the last minute spending as I may have done exactly the same in the last few days ;-)

    Ooh, ooh can I join please. I want to make as many pressies as I can this year, I have already started collecting jars for 'gifts in a jar, made inventory of wool an x stitch stuff, bought some very cheap ribbon and labels and began to make a list of who I need to make for. Really need some ideas for male rellies. Can't wait for this year, so excited x

    Well done on resisting temptation! Maybe you should make a list of what counts as essential craft buys?!

    Morning everyone - well I've done it - I've made it through the first no craft spend day and I feel good!

    Liking the idea of a list jellie - will sit down and think about that today.

    Have decided that when the kids go back to school on Weds that I will make a start on tidying my craft room - nthis way hopefully I will be able to find everything I have and also hopefully give me a few nice surprises when I come across things I had forgotton about!!!
