LOL except me.................I need a month! :o:o:o:o :rolleyes:

However I've just got back from a weekend in Bath and The Works had some nice bits and bobs cheap, quite good as starter packs. I got a pair of metal zig zag and curvy scissors for 59p each!

We have a shop called "Banana Bookshop" which I think is the same as "The Works" and I love going there. I bought a massive pack of paper embellishments (hearts/stars/tags/paper squares) for £3.99. I think there must have been a couple hundred pieces in it. I've also managed to get some rub off stickers in there for 10p! :T

OOOO we have actually got one of those in Southampton!! :j:j Only problem is time this week we're off to Lapland this weekend, so I probably won't have time to nip into town :rolleyes:

Hi all how are you all today? Ive just got back from town ive picked up loads of crafty bargins from the £1 shop and home bargins and went in the craft shop and had a look at their sale stuff got some bits from their aswell so after tea going to make some cards i think.Also i think mumoftwo is going to post a challenge today that runs for a week if your up for it? I thought we could have a weekly challenge so that we have more time what do you think ive asked mumoftwo to choose this weeks then someone else can choose the week after etc does that sound ok?

:wave: For this challenge I have chosen the theme: Love:heart2:

so cards for engagement, wedding, anniversary or just to tell someone you love them.. Like Polly said it will run all week so plenty of time to have a go and post a picture...

polly - sounds like you've had a good day out. Been stuck at home myself..........meeting with soc.worker this morning, expected another meeting to follow but that was cancelled so I decided to go through Dads old sheet music..............got myself in such a pickle, didn't realise how much he had and what a muddle it was all in............I'm afraid I've closed the door on it for now so the back bedroom is now full of Dads music on the floor, drawersm blanket chest.......as well as there being enougn 'hamper' stuff to start a shop.................lol

Challenge to run all week sounds better than trying to fit it in a short space of time. I struck lucky at the weekend and had the house to myself for the morning but another time it might not be so.

mumoftwo - oh eck.......thats going to be a hard one...........don''t know anyone who's getting married/engaged or having an anniversary unless I do one well in advance for ex foster girl who got married last December.
Think if I made a card for OH on the love theme he'd fall off the sofa................lol
So, think anniversary it will be............least it'll be done well in time.

Hi Folks! Have been lurking on this site for a couple of weeks now, it's addictive! Anyway, I'd love to join the card craft challenge too. I think I'll do a wedding based card as my cousin is getting married in April. Is it okay to paint, as I don't have many crafty bits and bobs and I don't want to be forking out.
Now...I must find a way of jazzing up my profile...

Hi crannog of course you can join in more the merrier and yes you can paint im looking forward to seeing your card xx

polly - we had our anniversary about three weeks ago...........never give cards to each other ........OH always says there's no point as we can say what we mean to each other...........lol
I'll do one for ex foster girls anniversary.............I know it'll be well ahead but don't know anyone else who's got one coming up.
