Well after all the lovely postings of how creative you have all been, I thought I would give it a go at making a 'newspaper' gift bag.

Like everything, it took a while the first time but as we make more, I am sure that we will get quicker and better at it.

I am absolutely thrilled to bits with the result as I am pretty hopeless at anything crafty (sewing a button on is about my limit :rotfl:) I also love the fact that it was near enough free and it is recycled!

This is where I got the instructions - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iW6Ief_8o0

If you give it a go, please do post

Well aren't we all turning into right little craftaholics its great fun messing about with things isn't it?

WD Sammy on resisting the temptation to buy stuff in craftworld - that has to be worth a medal i just can never resist craft bits and bobs (hence why i have so many boxes of the stuff lol!!)

I have to say i am struggling a bit with my meds increase - i was already on enough to sedate a horse and so i feel particularly droopy at the minute I am still managing to do some bits and pieces but have a huge dose of the canni be bothereds......i had to kick myself there to go have a shower but OH has just run himself a bath.

While i'm waiting i think i will try and sort out the ebay stuff i need to get posted instead of sitting like a turnip until the bathroom is free :rotfl:

That's my list for now, will add something else once i do that

Hope you all have a lovely day xxxxx

1. Pack Ebay parcels to post tomorrow, even though this should really have been done yesterday to post today
2. Iron and put away clean washing
3. Put next load of washing on (I swear my [STRIKE]lists[/STRIKE] life always seems to revolve around doing the washing! I do have 2 boys, and my Other Half though so hardly surprising in a house with 3 males! :eek:
4. 2 x 15 mins on exercise bike - Am hoping if I split my usual 30 min target up I might actually convince myself I have time to do it!
5. Organise *some* paperwork. Won't set an amount so then I've less chance of failing this one!!
6. Sort out 3 Ebay listings
7. Check how much is on the gas and electricity meters
8. 120 swagbucks for the March challenge-majig!
9. Make dinner before OH gets home from work so we can just heat it up and have dinner earlier than usual so we still have an evening
10. Make shopping list, as the fridge and cupboards are looking quite empty!

I thought the walk yesterday would have helped but i was exhaustimacated when i got back - even had to phone OH to come and get me when i usually manage to walk back as well - never mind at least i got a walk in

I haven't managed to do my planting yet! maybe today i will get that done - its so beautiful to have the sun out and i hate to waste the opportunity!

I'm sure Xan's mum is having a lovely time in skeggy she couldn't have picked a better week weather wise!!

Right on the hitlist for today:

planting
wait for sainsburys delivery
clean kitchen
general tidy downstairs
superpoints
free bingo
swaggers
list something on ebay, anything, just list something lol
look at newspaper bag
try to get printer working with lappy again

also managed to do:

survey for forest peeps

TM if you are grumpy i must be sleepy - who else have we got?

Hope you all are enjoying the sun! Have to go and check if you got your pics up yet vintage
