Thanks Heather, yes had a lovely time and there is a great little craft shop in Bridport and another one at Broadwindsor craft centre. Then on the way back there is the Paper Mill shop at the Clarkes village outlet centre so I did very well. Not had time to use any of the stuff I bought yet though as the garden has had to take precedence.

Evening everyone, hope you are all OK, back from looking after grandchildren, exhausted but had a lovely time. Think all the animals took more looking after than the 3 children.

Tomorrow hope to spend some of the day making cards need to get quite a few made still thinking of what type of Christmas cards to make this year would love something very different, but not sure what.

Take care

Hi all,
Where oh where has this week gone to? I've been rushing around with my scootmobile to the physiotherapist. She has been massaging my legs and today I had a machine on them.
Managed to finish my neighbour's card she asked me to make for her and when she picked it up last night she took 6 more of my cards, so there's my stock gone again!
Johan had to be screened today for his driving licence renewal. When you get to 85 they want all sorts of information about you. I supose he will hear in a few days whether he is ok.
We have Father's Day here on Sunday so I suppose I had better bake an apple tart. I made some bread yesterday evening as was too busy overday.
We are still having the central heating on in the evenings.
Have a nice weekend, sylvia xxx

Sylvia, sounds like you have been very busy this week!! It is turning very cold in the evenings here as well.

With it being fathers day I have all the kids and grandkids coming for dinner tomorrow, so will be busy.

I have just received an email from Lynne, unfortunately she has been in hospital for the last 5 weeks with pneumonia, she apologises for not having been in touch and hopes that she is up to date with her cards to you all. I have told her not to worry and I am sure that we all wish her a speedy recovery.

Morning girls,

I am sorry to hear you've been poorly Lynne, wishing you well with lots of (((HUGS))) xxxxx

It's a beautiful day again in Coleorton, looks like Wimbledon will get some good weather for the tennis this year :)

I'm waiting for my qvc parcel :) couldn't resist the 'Cinch' last week, I don't buy very often from there now, but that will come in very useful for memory books & the like, can't wait to have a play.

Have a good day all, speak to you soon xxx

Just a quickie as off out for the day,

WHAT IS A CINCH HEATHER??????

Joxxx

Glad you asked that Jo

The Cinch is a booking binding machine, brilliant I love it :)

Thanks Heather. You live and learn

Good evening to you all and hope everyone's keeping well.
Very hot over here so nicer to stay indoors and craft plus play with all my new goodies. Had A great time in the UK and there were some great demo's showing lots of new stuff so of course I had to buy lots :))
Suze Weinberg was a joy to watch and she created some lovely works of art using wax on wood and I was lucky to receive one from her and have posted it on my blog.
Have some new Paper Artsy, Marianne and Tim Holtz dies for my cuttlebug and the flower die from Paper Artsy makes beautiful built up flowers in paper or 10 second metal. As you can tell I am full of things I want to try out :))

Hi all,
Yes, it's me I'm back. I find the week goes by so quickly. I'm so tired that when Saturday comes and I have no appointments I don't wish to go anywhere at all. My neighbour from the Red Cross invited me to the town last Saturday to their open day, but I just wanted to stay at home - and I did. I am having this physiotherapy on my legs twice a week and then other appointments in the week so look forward to a day at home.
I have now bought myself a cuttlebug. I have been going to buy one for ages, but the high cost of the cuttlebug was rather offputting, but Johan told me to order one as it is a hobby and we don't go out so much as we used to. I am looking forward to receiving this, which should be next week sometime.
What fantastic weather we are having at last. We were still having our central heating on until two nights ago. Now I need my ceiling fan on when I do my ironing.
I must catch up and get some more cards made as my neighbour took 8 cards from me again.
My youngest daughter will be 50 next week and she is on a luxury cruise with her husband. She has never taken so many suitcases on holiday before. They have to dress up for dinner every evening. The money she spent on a ball gown was enormous, not to mention her husband's dinner suits.
Now everybody enjoy the weather whilst it lasts.

Sorry ladies not been around much as having terrible problems with my internet connection, been down on and off most of the week, such a pain. Not done much crafting this week, have spent most of the time looking after various grand-kids and one daughter was helping at the scout camp and other daughters close friend was found dead, was quite a shock for her and she has spent a lot of time with his parents. So no crafting for me. I am going to have a quiet day today and plan on watching the Christmas crafting on C&C and might even make some cards!! Daughter bought me the bundle offer that was on QVC for the Martha Stewart punch around the page double loop and daisy fan deep edge punch, love them.
Jill sounds like you had a lovely time buying lots of lovely crafting goodies.
Sylvia free days are precious time and we need to take advantage of them!!

Weather is still lovely but not as hot yet today, which is nice.

Have a good week all of you.

Joxx

Just popping in to say 'Hi' to everyone, hope you're all well xx

Evening everyone, hope you are all keeping well and happy.

Have 2 grandchildren coming to stay for a week tomorrow, daughters partner won a holiday to Italy at work and as it is a business trip they cannot take the children so they will be nice and relaxed when they return and I will be exhausted. Still at least one is at school during the day, but it is quite a round trip for me to get her there and back.


Weather is a little cooler today, but for me it is just right, wish it would rain a little to save me having to water all my pots!


Take care
Joxx

where would they be without Mums eh? I am sure you will enjoy having them, pity it isn't in the school holidays really, although it makes it easier in a way when they are at school it is such a tie having to deliver and fetch them isn't it? Have fun anyway.

Hi Ladies, just a quick message to say I sent an email out to you all last night, can you look out for it please.
Joxx

Nudge for Jane Jane, PM Jo in case she is busy.

HI can anyone telll me what you call the cards you make that look like books. I cant find them anywhere and would like to have a go at making one.

Thanks

Jane

Thanks Ginnie

Thats them. I would like to have a go at making one and needed to know what you had to buy.

I have now found some instructions so I will have to look at them and give it a go.

All the best

Jane

Hi
I wonder if anyone is able to tell me where I can buy cards that have 3 apertures preferably with a double fold.
Thanks for your help
