Wet Monday

Good morning Ladie,

I hope you are all well this cold wet morning Did you have a good weekend?

As any one seen the new craft magazine yet? it's called Creative cardmaking, it's probabley the same as all the rest, it is supposed to be written by crafts for crafts, we shall see

What have you all got planned for this week? I have a lot of cards to make for my mum and I'm going to get started on some Chrimbo gifts. I am going to make some card boxes which contain a selection of different cards and notelets, with an address book, small calendar, some 2nd class stamps and a nice pen. I will put in it some thank you cards, new home, get well soon, congratulations cards etc. This idea came to me last night when I couldn't sleep.

Breakie is calling, I have some fruit muffins to heat up.

Have a great day whatever your doing.

Drying hugz

Good morning Janet,

Pleased to hear you are well. The weather here is very wet and cold, so I am sorting some stamps out that I want to use. I brought some of the dew drop shaped ink pads, they come in the most beautiful pastel shades, just right for spring time cards

Have a great day.

Oh my god how embarrassing i have amended it i am now rolling about on the floor

Morning ladies. Raining here ans snow is slowly disappearing. Off to the vets in a moment to get annual jabs! Hope she stays asleep till I get carrier in from garage. If she sees it before I shut her in kitchen will have a job to catch her.

Morning Mikki, Andrea, Janet, Sue and all who pop on later

Oh Andrea, what a way to start the day... I come on here and there you are spouting smut!! Tut Tut!!!

Sorry I am late this morning girls, but have been doing a bit of the dreaded H word! I am absolutely shattered now and I only straightened the kids beds and cleaned the bathroom LOL... must be getting old.

It is nasty here, very cold windy and wet and I did not enjoy the school run one iota this morning, nasty weather making me ache! I need some sunshine or failing that snow

Hope people sunning themselves (Jane) think of us poor plebs in the pouring rain mind you poor old Victoria is really taking a hit with these wild fires isn't it... my Geography is dreadful and I hope Jane is nowhere near there. Please forgive my ignorance x

Spoilsport. Now we are all curious as to what you put - but think I have guessed Morning everyone - pouring with rain this morning, glad we postponed the walk. The snow is beginning to disappear but the pavements on the other side of the road are still bad as they dont get the sun and havent cleared at all. Now with the added rain At least the roads are clear I am going to tidy up my room today before I start making any more cards and my ATCs. Lost my camera and it was just under a pile of paper Looked for a couple of days too Dentist this afternoon (perhaps it will snow again and I wont be able to get out ) Badminton tonight

Hope you all enjoy your day

Hi Lou, no Victoria is nowhere near Jane but I think that they have had a few fires there too but havent heard anything recently. I was just putting away the things I got in the Goody Bag I got from our local docraft shop. The stickers are called loopy lou It was a brilliant buy this time too

I hope you LoopyLou stickers are as good as the real thing Jacky LOLOLOLOLOL

They are beautiful and pink - what's your opinion

Well I am wearing a pink jumper at the mo...... but not sure on the beautiful bit! LOL

Afternoon all Pouring with rain here,been out for brekkie and then sat at St Margarets watching the sea was lovely even though the weather isnt good
Couldn't decide what to have for dinner today so just went for a little wander around and came out with faggots, love them and haven't had them for ages, had to be Brains ones though
she you started the day off well Andrea
Spoke to Jayne yesterday and she said she really isnt feeling much better at all, think another tripto the doctors is in order
Take care all

ooohhh Andrea.... you have caused quite a stir today!!!

Not long been back from the card making class I went to this morning. It was held at our local library... there was myself and 2 other ladies, both worked in the library!!! But we had a good time, made a couple of Iris fold cards and we enjoyed ourselves. Hoping to do it again come the better weather.

We had more snow last night, it doesnt feel too cold out, but the fog has now come down and its thick fog. Forecasters do say more snow is expected. I have ordered a pair of shoe thingamajigs to put on the soles to stop you from slipping... hoping they come for me to try them out before the snow and ice goes!

Have a good day, take care

Afternoon everyone. It's trying to snow here at the moment although it's very foggy. I've got to collect the kids from school in abit then I think I'll wrap up warm and not go out again until the school run tomorrow.

I hope all poorly people feel a bit better today

Have a good day whatever youare doing

Karen, are the shoe things from QVC. I have had them for the past 3/4 years and they are brilliant in the snow. I used them the other day to walk down to get the paper and post a card and a man came from the other direction and said how come I was walking so quickly on the ice when he was walking on the road and going home to change his shoes. I showed him them and he was amazed at how well they worked. You can just walk normally when you are wearing them Bit tricky on the places where the snow had disappeared though.

Have had trouble finding them recently Jan - we fancied them a few weeks ago and couldn't get them. Mum said they had changed - they are smaller with more gravy. Managed to get some on Saturday but haven't had them yet. Think that will be for Tuesday nights dinner We used to have a Faggot & Pea shop just up the road from us when I was a child. We went with Mum and a large jug with a tea towel and the man would fill up the jug and Mum would cover it with the teatowel to bring it back home Ohhh the memories. Brings tears to my eyes the simple way we lived back then

Jan, Richard said were you looking for timber, if so its to late our neighbour has it all Janetxx

Found them in Farmfoods Jacky, never been in there before and thought we would have a look and yes your mum is right they are smaller and have extra gravy, but I like the gravy so that was fine by me, didnt have to make extra but they did at least taste just the same
Janet whats with you being all posh this afternoon, Richard!!! and I remember you saying her neighbour had gathered all the wood, at least we know where to come when we need some

Afternoon ladies Ohh Andrea we all know why you are late some morning then !!!! hmmmm !!!! lucky girl he he It will take you a while to live that one down he he.

The weather has been very Welsh today rain, grey skies and more rain he he The weather forecast said more snow tonight ...... to have more you have to have had some in the first place he he I wish they wouldn't keep teasing me like this

Ok I have a very strange request ... does anyone know of a shop that sells a ribbler/crimper wider than 2.5 ins please ? Poor Pete has been driving all over the place the last few days trying to get me one, he is such a love Oh and cheaper than the Hobbycraft £15 one if possible he he

Jacky... yes they are!!! I ordered them from QVC on Saturday - had a look on line at them and like you have said they have got good comments. I walk up and down to school 3 times a day, and sometimes this weather I feel like 'Todd Carty'!!! And yet I look at some people and they dont seem to slip around at all. Anyway... will give them a try - thanks for your comments as well, appreciate them. Perhaps next year I too can audition for Dancing on Ice!

Jenny M I don't know if this is any good??? It take upto 11cm paper
