Oh I daren't think of anything else..........................lol I'm surrounded by 'stuff'...................does anyone else get in a muddle like that or is it just me

Yes me! I have just spent the last hour clearing out the drawers that I store all the items for my nappy cakes, yesterday I pulled all of my crafty stuff/card stuff off the dining room table and put it all into a box! Amazing how fast I have built that up, OH commented on the money I have spent on it and I told him that I got a lot of it cheap which I did as most of the embellishments etc were in the sale, a lot of them down to 25p

About to go start building a couple of nappy cakes then may well get my son to finish making his reindeer for christmas!

I need to find 5 x £10 notes and stash them in the compartment boxes in the wardrobe, I need to get the rest of the little bits for the childrens boxes I need to buy more door hangars and paper etc and I need to wrap all my sons birthday presents which are hidden in various locations (birthday 16th September) Also need to wrap something for my dad then think about getting him something else as his is 9th september, think my brother in laws is somewhere in september aswell!


Arrrrggghhh

I have been lurking over the past few weeks & have been getting all my little bits and bobs together to start making things in time for christmas! I am going to make some rainbow crayon cakes for the younger kids in my family, along with the doorhangers. I have made my mum & nana some cross stich christmas decs to put on their tree, i bought some snow globes that you can design (or rather dd can!) and put a pic in too- & some candle holders which again you can design yourself too- i have a family & a lot of friends who for some reason are MAD about candles! I have picked some up sooo many ideas and am really looking forward to geting started!

I'm making all my own cards this year and really sick of paying for cards that get more expensive each year.

Partners stationery shop had a massive sale and I picked up loads of stickers, and fancy bits to stick onto cards, and atleast they will have a really personal touch. :j

Ahhh but you say it isn't working but think about christmas eve when everyone is out last minute shoppin and you are sat relaxing with a glass of mulled wine/cup of tea * (delete as appropriate) and a mince pie.

rusty - I hope to be sitting relaxing long before then............oh the bliss of sitting in a coffee shop watching the rest of the world rushing around end or November /beg. December......................least thats the general idea........if I'm not still looking for 'stuff' and can't find it........................lol

I too can join the muddle club, got stuff stashed all over the place and don't know what is where :rotfl: . I thought it was just me but I'm obviously in good company

Once DS1 starts school I am going to have a proper sort out so I know what we have, where it is and what's left to buy or make. Once he starts school also want to get stuff wrapped and labelled and start making Xmas cards.

I've got DS2's birthday at the start of January so need to move onto his presents after I've got Xmas sorted!

I thought it was just me who got in such a muddle with all the crafty things. Guess I'm in good company!:T
