you can buy packs of 100 good quality cards from argos, they cost aroung £9. the do crafts website is also a good place to look for both ideas and products.

they do a great magazine which is not full of advertisements for a £!!!!!!

Glad you're feeling better polly -and you're not the only one who shouts at cards/glue etc. I often do if its not going right.............lol Mad ? Maybe......lol

Took me fair time this morning assembling these drawers I bought..........glad they were only £2 - I've done them but there's still one drawer support that hasn't fitted just right. It's like assembling a cardboard box..........the drawers were easy - so was the casing but the supports.........well they went in ok once I'd sussed out the instructions all except one..........must look at it again in a more saner moment....................lol:j

Hi mary have you finished your drawers yet? Im trying to tidy mine :mad: there is card stuff everywhere lol the dog cant even get on the settee lol feel like chucking the lot at the moment ahhhhhhh grrrrrrrr lol and ive only been crafting for 6 months lol god only knows what it will be like in another 6months i prob wont be able to sit down lol

Drawers still sitting there with one not quite pulling in and out like it should ........can't cope with that at the minute though...........OH is trying to sort out dvd player...........he bought dvd and it would't play and he knows it works ok (tried it on computer) so, got a cleaning disc and he's trying to work that all out...................
I'm doing some cards tomorrow (I think) -must get retirement card done, thats first on the list.

I will have a look there next time i go into town do you have a poundland near you?If they do do they have a good craft selection?and do they sell baskets?

mumoftwo

Yes I have Poundland, they do sell baskets, especially now with all their garden stuff out. they are lined with plastic, but I just took that out. Ours had lots of nice embelishments packets (little flowers, beads, bows for a while and nice stickers) but they get sold really fast, so you have to be there at the right time.

Looking at the blue PNE card i should have put a blue card behind the PNE badge ive done this with the england card ive done in red my SIL gave me the idea and it really makes the card stand out never mind its trail and error isnt it lol.
