    I'm so behind with bl*gging that I can't be bothered at the moment. I think I need a break after all the pre-Christmas crafting. I'm another one who needs to sort everything out in the craft room before I make any more mess.
    Welcome to out newbies and I hope you're well Macma x

  • Managed to make another card today while everyone else in the house struggled to move an organ down a flight of stairs. I would have just been a hindrance so my job was to make drinks for the workers! I thought I might as well do something useful while they worked!

  • Hi guys do you mind if I join the thread? I have a whole room full of stash. As we are moving I really need to get to grips over the. Next few weeks getting it all re organised and to start using it all again.

    Jellie I will not be buying any stash in the near future apart from glue and blades for my trimmer. I will join you on your challenge:)

    Do any of you sell your cards? I am looking for away to pay for my hobby. X

    Happy Christmas everyone - hope everyone has had a great time.

    Been really busy lately, and managed to make all my cards this year (84) with time to spare, but wondered if anyone knew what make this die cut/punch is:

    Really like the style of it, but having problems trying to find it to buy on the internet.

    Thanks, happy new year to everyone too


    CT - Gemma has some Christmas cards on her blog and one of the snowflakes looks like this one - she said it was A Martha Stewart punch. Hope this helps - if not check out Gemma's blog as she said she has lots of snowflakes and may be able to help you further.

    Sillyinthepast- I keep meaning to attempt it for the same reason as you but I haven't bitten the bullet yet!

    Glad I'm not the only one stashbusting- I think it is easier with company.

    Giggles- sounds like you're having fun. I would recommmend taking at look at peoples blogs as you pick up a lot of tips and ideas there (personally I'm rubbish at ever posting pictures etc in here!)
