    Padster hope your ankle will be ok

    Going to be busy finishing off my swaps to take up to Abdn tomorrow as I am going to training on Sat, staying 2 nights and coming back on Sunday, can't wait as it's going to be fun

    hope everyone has a great day
    ps yesterday I bought a card to give to Billy's friend and his wife for their anniversary and they were disappointed it wasn't handmade (normally they get a handmade one) oh well will need to try harder to make time to do them x

    Lizalloa - I think we all know the feeling about having to buy cards - how lovely for you though that Billy's friends really appreciate your handmade ones. Enjoy your weekend training.

    Padster - hope your ankle isn't too seriously damaged - guess you might ache a bit today - the urge to run away when something like that happens is HUGE - whether you are OK or not!

    rainmac - I haven't made any cards yet this year! :eek: Just need a bit of clear time to think...... Hope your Nan settles quickly, no wonder your Mum is upset & angry about her bed sores it shouldn't happen these days. Hope your work today is better than yesterday & your car arrives on time.

    Marg - Thankyou, could be scarring I guess, but dont understand how after 10 months it has suddenly started again. I need to find out who did my op, as I had never seen them before because I was transferred to a different hospital for an emergency op! but they were nice, unlike the other consultant!

    Artydoll - 9 to go ... not long now!

    Skiergirl :wave:

    VeeBee1 - Believe it or not we are all friends in this thread, we talk about card making but we also support each other through difficult times in our lives, we come anbd go and sometimes dissapear when life gets in the way, but when we come back we are always welcomed back. As wifey suggests you may want to check blogs, and also other forums, and I also noticed that you are advertising your own company, which might I add is not allowed on these forums, most of us have our own businesses or sell ourselves but we respect the rules of the forum! Looking at your cards on your website I am not sure how we can help much with your cardmaking as they are mainly printed cards (from what I can see) rather than the style of cards we make with lots of embellishments and hand coloured images etc :) Do you have a blog?

    Rainmac - :wave: Fab news about your gran being rehomed, although not so good on the bed sores :( I really feel for you as I know how difficult it is to not be remembered, my great nan was the same, she didnt even remember my gran at the end :( she was 90 odd though, and I sometimes think that it was good she didnt remember half of the things she had to go through at the end. I am however grateful that although my gran was bad, that she left us before she got too bad :( Hope you are having a better day today! xx

    Padster - Hows the ankle?? Hope you feel better today!

    Ali - I am going to make them :D:D ... I have got someone else to make the cupcakes lol ... although after watching heston with his chocolate tart thingy last night and his melted chocolate in his spray gun....

    Liza - I bought 2 cards at christmas ... for my mum and her boyfriend .... but they deserved it cause we dont talk anymore ..... I wonder if my wedding invite got lost in the post? LOL

    Have spent the morning up at the school, I am now involved in the school fundraising ideas etc, and this morning they were talking about my cards ... they want me to do a coffee, cupcake and craft morning :eek:

    Hope everyone has a good day! x

    :( Ouch! Padster, hope the ankle gets better soon.

    :eek: Rusty - Heston with a spray gun of chocolate :eek: have I died and gone to chocolate heaven????

    Re: your consultant, that's the guy you need to get for a consultation 'cos he will know what's going on inside you. Your nice doc will have his name in your records as he would have had a letter about your op, (how many times you swore when coming round from the anaesthetic etc, I usually do :D )

    As you can see, bored and at work.
    :whistle: Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the ground each morning the devil says, "OH CARP, SHE'S UP"! :whistle:

    Never thought of that! I never even had a call back after the op, which I thought was normal! ... I never swore, but I cried when I saw OH :D and again when they came back in to see me after the op! :eek: but I figured that I was allowed! ... oh and then there was lots of crying to get in the car, out of the car and up the step into the house (that last one took me an hour cause I had to ponder how to get my leg high enough without it hurting! lol)

    As for spray chocolate, looky see here ..... it looked amazing!!

    Rusty Heston is a genius, going to make a cake with popping candy in (one day) :D

    Willow I have finally found the paper pad that was missing from your present and will post that off to you soon

    Rainmac Hope your Nan is okay and the bedsores not to painful poor thing, hope your Mum is not so upset now too x

    Been tidying my craft room, embarrassingly all my Christmas stuff was still strewn everywhere, at least I can see the floor now :o
    I have three male cards to make with absolutely no inspiration for any of them!
