Happy Feb 1st

Hello everyone

We've been a quiet bunch recently haven't we New month, recovered from Christmas.... fully reenergised for the new year

What's everyone up too?

HI All

I think we should all make an effort to post at least twice a week as we have all been very quiet!
I have been quite busy, card-making & making my first pieces of jewellery and of course trying out the Wii. Have also had a few nights out. Went to Lazaat with the girls from work last Wednesday - if you go between 4:30 - 6:30 and order before 7pm you get 40% off your bill (including drinks). It was really nice food - spicy though!

Tonight I am going to design and hopefully start to make some chaps for a Wild West fancy dress party that I'm off to next week - Yee Ha!!

looking forward to seeing the pics of your chaps, they sounded really good last week!

Good idea... if we try and post a couple of times a week, we'll have more to respond to, get things going again

Hi

Not been up to much in January - DH had a knee operation begining of Jan and was laid up for a couple of weeks (still managed to make a mess though !!!) I was hoping to get caught up with some crafting today but both boys at home , schools are closed for the bad weather - they have gone out to have a snowball fight so I shall be soon greeted with piles of wet clothes,gloves, socks etc. I am trying to find some inspiration for a 30th birthday card for one of the girls at work, she is a bit of a tom boy so pink and flowers are out, any ideas would be most welcome.

hiya all, i look in everyday, but if there's nothing to reply to and i've not done anything worth talking about...............

er Jayne, how about animals/pets, have you got any craft cd's? i've got lots and i can always find something suitable for everyone, even the fella's! lol.

was sent home from work today, i had an asthma attack and when i'd managed to take my inhaler i just felt so washed out and weak, they took one look at me and packed me off home.
came home and just slept.

Hi CnW, schools not affected here, though we had to go and and pick up dd as she had a bad earache.

Had a look through my CD,s MM ( hope you are feeling ok now ) I only have a few and they are Christmas and floral but I did stumble on a good idea for a wedding card i need to do - My Dad is getting married, he has lived with his partner for about 20 years and now decides to get wed - Men !!!

Hi MM

20th March - Dad doesn't hang around once he gets an idea in his head ! I have found a beautiful image of a rose on one of my CDs which I am going to use on the wedding card ( I am making them a cross stitch sampler with a very similar rose as a wedding gift) I thought I would keep the card simple as Dad is 62 and Sharon in her late 50's so didn't think big white meringue dresses etc would be quite right.

Still working on the 30th card although I did find out today she collects the me to you bears (strange for a tom boy ) so will have to bear that in mind. excuse the pun

well if you google 'me to you bears' and then click on 'images' you'll get lots,
i was asked for one ages ago.

you can do that for most images you need.
