Hi there. Glad you enjoyed your holiday.

Still waiting to hear from GSD breeder - bet she hasn't had the Mum scanned yet, so no news to tell me. Am sooooo impatient. Can't wait for my little fur baby to arrive now - although still gotta wait about 2 months

A bit cooler here - yesterday was a scorcher - pity it wasn't like that when we were on hols.

Bye for now

Hi all - what a change eh? Sooooo cool up here today

Have checked dog breeder website - the first female has had 6 male puppies (Aaahhh) and our baby's Mum is due end August, so I guess she's had the scan after all. Fingers crossed.

Margaret - am so sorry your hubby doesn't want a dog, but completely understand. Both me and Roger are dog mad so to speak so no problems there. We've both had dogs all our lives so would be lost without one.

Bye for now

Oh Ann I am so sorry for you this is a dreadful time for you. I will pray for you amd Aunty and of course your dear Mum. Words just can't help but I shall think of you.
love
margaret

Thanks for your kind words,it means a lot to me
GOOD NEWS!! I sold my E2!!!,i asked originally for £200,then reduced it down to £180 but had to sell for £160 in the end as the lady was'nt willing to go any higher,i needed to sell it so had to accept,i'm not too sad about it,never did use it much anyway.Still got my pink expression and imagine and ofcourse my gypsy which i would never get rid of,love her!!,I'm thinking that i will have more trouble selling the imagine so may end up keeping it,just using it to print papers and use the expression with the gypsy for everything else.
Hoping to do a car boot in the morning so i should go to bed now

Hi everyone,

As its the school holidays I have a bit less time to come on here as Ben is keeping me on my toes.

So sorry Ang about everything going wrong. Hopefully your luck will change and so will the weather !!! saying that it is pouring right now and its so dark I have all the lights on!

Ann - Bless your heart . I am here thinking about you and also saying my prayers. Good luck with the car boot sales. Glad about the tax rebate what a relief.

Susan - Glad you had a nice holiday and that you have been rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous.

HI Margaret

Anyone heard from Lynda as she was having a hard time too??

Also sending my love to Adele who is also not had a good time of it.

Hopefully everyone else I missed is ok? *waves*

Pauline - Good news about you being on the list and hope you hear really soon. You and Roger have a lot of love to give. How is your tuckaway getting on?

I have just made a roman blind and I finished my patchwork denim quilt too. I am still making things for the house here

I am starting another blog if anyone wants the blog address I will let you have it when I start posting! I had to take the other one down as had problems from people!!! this one will be more anonymous but with all the same sort of stuff.

when do we need to start a new thread? is this one too long yet?

Take care everyone,

Hi all
Just been trying to sign in but it kept coming up with an error. Well I think the site looks a lot better just hope we dont have to keep the code, such a pain.

Anyway managed to do a few cards with the Yummy cart, getting to like it, cant wait to do some bunting also. Some pretty papers on it aswell.

Dragged my youngest son to Exeter where we had a nice day really. Its been quite nice here. I managed to nip into the WHSmiths there and get the lovely Dessert Blooms paper pad by First edition. Just my colours apart from the pinks.

Well done all for selling your stuff even if its lower price its better than collecting dust.

Karen
Thanks I was totally gobsmacked when I realised it was Brosnan. His young son was not impressed by the attention at all though. He looks a lot older in real life.

Anyway bed time.

Susan xx

Karen, I totally agree about blogs. I've learned my lesson so mine is pretty much anonymous too. People say way too much about themselves and I for one won't join in. The only thing I've not done is give myself another name which I wish now I had but then there is no surname. Good luck with your new one, I'll look out for it.

Hello everyone
Its a bit quiet on here today. Just got back from helping my brother clean his holiday home in Westward Ho! Then walked back in the drizzle. Looks like the weathers set for the day.

Just wondered if anyone had a dress form cuts/die and would be prepared to cut me a few? Maybe I could swap some cuts if I have one you want. Just got a few invites to do but is not one I would want to buy.

Just doing yet more greeting cards and some bracelets for my stall next week. Hopfully it is more productive than last month!

A friend rang me up last night and invited me to a first viewing of our local Art society. Some very talented people about. It was also to catch up on her exploits as she had been to China and Hong Kong with college. I did say I would show her round Hong Kong but she couldnt fit me in her suitcase.

Anyhow have a good weekend.
Susan

Susan,your dress form cuts were posted today and should be with you on wednesday,hope they are ok.
Well,where are you all? busy crafting i hope!
We did a car boot yesterday but it started to drizzle late morning and came in heavy so we packed up and went home,still managed to make about £50 so i was happy with that,hoping to do another one on wednesday weather permitting.
My washing machine went wrong yesterday,i called Hotpoint and they are sending someone out tomorrow to fix it,it sounds like the main board needs replacing,was going to cost me £120 which i cant afford right now so i have signed up for the 12 month cover where you pay £11.99 a month and it covers all repaires and a new machine if it cant be fixed,worked out a bit more but i use the machine a lot so figured it might be worth it in the long run and they dont want any cash off me until next month I also have the loft insulation chap coming tomorrow,all free via N power so could'nt say no to that one,we have spent half the day emptying the loft,no mean feat i can tell you as it was chocka,i felt so sorry for Graham as he had to go up and was passing me stuff through the hatch,it was so hot today,i thought he was going to faint at one point,all empty now and everything piled in Terry's room as he's not here at the moment,just got to put it all back when they have finished
I have been a bit naughty and bought some bits of pergamano off our favourite auction site!,started to get back into it again and did'nt have much,am now waiting for my parcel to arrive,i got a real bargain as i know how expensive it all is.
I am considering selling my craft dragon impress as i dont really use it much,i have lots of foils and dies with it,never have got around to doing the rhinestone embellishing yet,also still have not used my felting machine!!!!,only had it 4 months!,just never had chance to play with it.
I am still in the process of sorting out my craft room,at the moment its a real mess,stuff everywhere,need more time,wish you could buy it!could'nt afford it anyway
Anyway all,must go for now.Take care and happy crafting

Hi all.

Susan - my Artiste cartridge came 10 days ago - ordered it from Stamps Alive - it's brilliant. You'll love it when yours comes So many images - a really good buy IMO.

Just got back from Morrisons - apparently Kingsmill have discontinued their 50/50 medium loaf range (Morrisons say) - but I've been on the Kingsmill website and it's not discontinued. I've emailed them to ask if it's true and if not will be taking it up with Morrisons. Am totally sick of being told what I can/cannot eat!

Hiya everybody

I did ok at the craft fair today. Everyone that came to my stall said good things and I sold quite a lot of stuff. All on my blogg. I sold the Stained glass teddy bear I made a few months ago too. Not to the woman that ordered it, no idea what happened to her. My books were very popular so I can go on making them!

My Artiste cart is due to arrive any time, stalking the postman time. I ordered a few extra stamps as well.

Ann
Glad you got your loft done I had mine done when I first moved into my house and they did draft proofing round windows and such. Mine is an old Victorian house so needs lots of draftproofing and stuff. It all helps. Blooming work men eh its not your fault the problem was hard to find. I hate it when you wait in and they dont turn up. Hope you do well on your bootsale. Wish I was nearer not been to a good boot sale in ages.

Just getting ready for my online class! Got to cut all the paper as per instructions. Just hope my internet is up to the challenge.

Anyway got to get on.

Susan

Hi Ladies
Just a quick "Hello" to let you know I'm still around
Sorry I cannot read through all the past post's as my eyes are still bad, so screwing my eyes up to see gives me a headache really quickly
Hope everyone is well?
I'm missing you guys
Huge hugs
Adele

Hi Karen
The Artiste cart is as good as AP, love it!!
Thankfully the MB is sending out emails again, to let us know we have a post I haven't had that in months
Hugs
Adele

Hi all
Glad to see Karen and Adele still with us and managing to craft.

This is the 2nd time I have written this as I had just clicked the post button after putting the code in and it wiped it all out!! Ugh!! Forgotten what I was gonna say now!

I am a bit weary as I took part in the Heidi Swapp color magic live online show. It was fabulous. We made 3 cards and an envelope and I more or less kept up with her but it was quite fast. Am glad I prepared it all before hand and even coloured my paper etc. The next one is tomorrow, and I probably shouldnt stay up for it but probably will. Its a good atmosphere with lots of like minded crafters. It takes place at 2.30am for an hour so as soon as it finished I just crashed into bed no messing. Will post photos on my blogg as soon as I can. I just love Heidi Swapps stuff!

Ann thanks ever so much for doing those cuts they are perfect.
Pauline hope ya back gets sorted out before the hols.

Anyway gotta go

Susan

Hi all,just to let you know that i have decided to sell my craft dragon and my felting machine if anyone is interested.The craft dragon has been used a few times but the felting machine is brand new,i have taken it out of the box to look at but have never found time to use it.
Hope you are all well
I am very tired tonight as i had overtime today and it was so busy,i'm just going to watch tv for a bit and get an early night.
