    my last order of jewellery stuff came today so I am going to have a play in a bit!

    oh and I got an email back from a lady I'd emailed about a craft fair local to me in June and it's £38 for a stall!! I doubt I'd even MAKE that much :rotfl:


    Looking forward to seeing your jewellery makes as well as Crafty Ju Ju's - I can see a new set of spendy elves gathering on the horizon :eek:

    £38 - ouch, that's a bit steep

    Hi ScattyJan and welcome to the thread.

    NPSMama - huge congratulations, you have one beautiful little angel there to treasure, she is gorgeous.

    I've got my craft space back :T, OH finished laying the carpet tiles today so I've spent the afternoon cleaning up and getting the room ready for DD's visit over the weekend. And there was me hoping to get a crafty afternoon in :(, maybe tomorrow then! Still, on the bright side I do have a reasonably clear desk now and all the carp bits have been thrown in the bin so I've got room to make a card now instead of just a little 6" x 6" square of clear desk lol!

    I'm still waiting for my order from Craftwork Cards, been and checked my order history - ordered late night 7th April and still no despatch date showing. They say they normall despatch within five days so even allowing for Easter I think we've passed that now. I might contact them if it doesn't arrive tomorrow as I've now run out of any card that will go through my printer for digi images.

    my sentiments exactly, most of the stuff I'd be selling would be between £1 - £2 so I was prepared to pay perhaps £10-£15 for a table, I nearly died when I read £38! glad I didn't ring her up to ask as I think I would have dropped the phone :rotfl:

    Yes - also you have to watch how long they are for as some are not all dayers!!! I agree that £10-15 is a fair price for a day long fair. Some of these organisers get abit carried away and forget that people are not doing it for the fun of it but have costs and time to cover as well!!!!

    cry for help time - I can't remember the name of a company at the NEC who I bought some stamps from as i've stupidly thrown away the packaging and stored them in my clear CD cases!

    It had lots and lots of stamps, glittermum bought some alphabet stamps and I think rusty bought a robot stamp? I got a sheet music one and flower one. anyone possibly remember? have a think - pretty please :D

    yes its that one, mid june? I suppose nappy cakes are more profitable than cards :rotfl: good luck to you!

    ETA : dont think I will be doing it, I dont think I want to pay that much for my first one really

    Posted before i read you aren't doing it. I am doing it as if it the place i am thinking about, it is a bit more up market to the ones i have done before and i am hoping i can up my prices a bit. I already have one order from it so i hope it will be good.

    Did someone answer the challenge question someone asked about? Is it still wings or something else. Everything seems to have got lost the last day or so but glad it is back to normal now. Well as normal as can be without rusty. Take care of yourself hun we are all here when you come back.
