    Those cards are lovely.

    I've been busy working all week - which has sucked. Writing risk assessments at 10.30 should be banned. Haha.

    We have people coming round later. So I think we will be bottling up the last of the booze and tidying today.

    Hi all

    Well started clearing out the craft stuff and I got rid of some of the stuff that I know I will never use, like free papers from magazines etc that are just not patterns to my taste. Not a huge amount but nonetheless some has gone. Still have some more stuff to go through.

    I also made one card which was the last one in a batch that I made last year but I had run out of time on this one and I had all the stuff so quickly sorted it out.

    So 1 of 100 done :rotfl:

    This is a wee playmat for a friend's new baby boy, Moominmamma. So, do I get to count it again when it leaves the house, lol?
