    Could barely watch after the first 3 championship points went, what an amazing moment (and how could he nearly forget to give his mum a hug :rotfl:)

    Mrs Money-penny tried to message you but it says your inbox is full.

    With regard to my papercuts, I have only just started with them and set a page up on FB called Em's Paper Gems which shows piccies of what I have done so far. Feel free to search me out and add your thoughts. I was trying to sell some small cross stitch items but to no avail so back to the stitching just for me.

    If anything like the one near Cheltenham, it's basic pub grub and not too amazing. Only benefit was the free wi-fi :rotfl:

    Hello everyone.
    I've been lurking on this thread for a while and i've finally came round to posting :D
    A little bit about myself:
    i'm Samantha, i'm 21 and i'm into everything crafty :)
    I have started making my own cards, sock monkeys, taught myself to crotchet and started to cross stitch after my Mam cross stitched my 21st birthday card.
    I've recently made a 25th wedding anniversary card for my Mam and Dad so will post that soon,
    Samantha x

    Glad you've stopped lurking and welcome :D

    Cupboard cleared out. I have found a number of magazine cover kits that have never been started (well I think one has about 20 or so stitches) that are "free to good homes". It also includes one from new issue of Cross Stitcher, youngest nephew has declared he is "too old" at 7 :rotfl:

    Still got some of these available, the blue flower study, and the bookmarks (apart from the Lavender one). Pm if interested - though since taking the picture, my stash has increased by a lot more than I've cleared out. Blaming it on a few summer sales and birthday, rather than my lack of willpower :rotfl:
