Hi Jean,

I can definately recommend QVC & Create N Craft for cardmaking ideas, thats how started card making 6yrs ago.Got hooked watching them and just had to have a go, ordered a kit and that was it, hooked :)
The only thing I would say, buy the best equipment you can, it will pay for itself on the long run.

Lots of websites for ideas, have a go you won't be disappointed.

Hope everyone is keeping well

Hi ladies, just a quickie, did you all receive the email from Patricia??? This brings our group to 25.

Weather here the last few days has been so cold and windy, think winter has come early, like you Christine no rain which makes a change.

Thanks Issy the ATC's have arrived safe, could you let me know what is the theme for next month.

Ann hope you had a lovely holiday and Sylvia hope your cruise went well.

Hugs Joxx

We seem to have lost Jeniwrens post.

Tinky lovely to see you posting again.

Well have spent the morning making cards, only did not get any made as daughter arrived early with grandson for me to look after, so had to pack it all away again, will get to make some very soon I hope.

Weather sunny but cold here today.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Morning ladies, what a beautiful day it is today. We had a little frost first thing, but that has now cleared and the sun is shining and the wind has dropped totally so it is really nice.



Just watching the Ryder cup, I really hope we win!! Trying to make a birthday card at the same time, doing a fold back card, ages since I made one of these hope I have got all the measurements right, should have got out a template!!



Hope you all had a lovely weekend

Came home Saturday Jo to a very wet UK. Lovely day today here though and OH actually managed to cut the lawn which had really grown the month we were away. Yet all summer it hardly grew at all. Made 3 Christmas cards today using the toppers I made in Tenerife, so at least I feel I am getting somewhere.

Happy Birthday Sue, hope you have a lovely day.


Ann, I will be taking my Christmas 'bit' on holiday with me when I go with the grandchildren at the end of the month. Will hope to get quite a few made, although last time the grandchildren made loads for their friends and I ended up only making one!!

Well after the lovely weather yesterday we are back to normal today!! Still have an hour spare before grandson arrives for the afternoon, then off to the hospital with hubby for yet another check up.

Have a good day everyone.

tinks

Tinky, sorry you have had a shock and hope you can come to terms with it, also hope that you will feel better soon. Maybe making a few easy cards will help you to relax. I am sure people wont mind their cards being late.

Tink, sorry to hear that things have not been good for you. Hope that whatever it is can be sorted out and you feel much better very soon. I am sure that none of the ladies will mind cards that are late and I am sure they will all wish you well and a speedy recovery. I will send out a quick email to let everyone know.

Hope everyone else is OK

Hugs Joxx

Sylvia sorry to hear that you are having difficulty getting on the site and this thread, I will try bumping it up to the top a few times in the day to see if that helps.
Joxx

Sylvia sorry to see that you still have not made it here. I am on holiday at the moment with the grandchildren but will keep checking in when I can.
Joxx

I don't know why Sylvia can't get on but I will nudge this up for her just in case.

nudge for Sylvia

Hallo girls,
Thank you all who helped me get back on this th read. Whatever you did I don't know but tonight I managed to get on without any bother.
I think my spells of falling seem to be over and I have no black and blue bruises any more. Johan is still frightened of leaving me alone, especially if he wants to go to bed before me, he insists I go too. I can sleep better with my mask too. Just wish my cystitis would go.
Please forgive me for not sending birthday cards this last few weeks. Please drop me a line if you have not had a card and I will send out cards for the last two months. I also forgot my sister in law's birthday, so must do that card soon.
I have made a few cards for my neighbour. She asks for one card and then sees what I have made and buys them all, so I can begin all over again.
I see that our shops are already beginning with Xmas goods .
Next time will write more. Sylvia xxx

Hello Sylvia, pleased to see that you have got on again. I wouldn't worry about missing a few birthdays, I am sure the people concerned wont mind, you are usually so diligent at sending them out. And you will be busy with christmas cards like the rest of us I am sure. I am glad you are not falling now, hope you continue to stay well, and hope you can get rid of the cystitis which is a miserable illness.

Sylvia so pleased to see that you are back with us. It is lovely to hear that you are not falling any more, must be a big relief to you and Johan, still I can understand him worrying about you falling after he has gone to bed. Hope that your cystitis clears up soon, although I know it has been an ongoing problem for a while. I am sure the ladies whose birthday you missed will not mind, as Ann said you are normally so efficient and get the cards in early. I will put your message on the other side for you about the cards.

As usual I have not thought about my Christmas cards yet, will have to get a move on soon to get them all done.

I have made over a hundred so far, all different and mixed but all I am afraid fairly simple. With so many to make I don't make time consuming ones. This year I have used some bits from last year's commercial cards as well, it saves money, recycles and they are too good to waste.
