Morning,

Thanks for letting me know Jo x
The heart was a spellbinders shape (will get info off pkt), cut out off mirri card (very good price from Joanna Sheen, with free p&p) & embossed with the cuttlebug paisley folder, really enjoyed doing them.

My sister is on the mend thank you, Hiapoxic Seizures aren't nice, she has just got to take things a little easier.
I will let you all know when new arrival is here :) think I'll be on the first train back from Devon if she decides to come next week ;-)

Heather, have spoken to Issy and you have sent in your ATC's Also wanted to ask what the heart is made from it looks lovely.

Heather sorry to hear that things are not going well for you at the moment, hope you are beginning to feel a little better ready for your holiday and that your sister is improving. I bet you cannot wait for the new arrival, as you say it is bound to arrive when you are on holiday and you wont be able to have your cuddles for a while!!

Not sure what type of cards to make this year, made a lot of cuttlebug ones last year, but cannot remember what type I sent to who!!!!!! Need to start keeping a check I think.

Hope you all had a lovely weekend

Hello to everyone,

Jo I think I've posted this months atc's, sorry heads a bit fuzzled at the moment, I've been poorly and had my sister rushed into hospital last week too :( so I've either missed things or forgot (not on purpose)..... think I'm up to date with the groups cards though, apologies to anyone who receives late.

I'm thinking of christmas cards too, and will be making a start end of August, only very simple cuttlebuged ones with a bit of sparkle, so many to do with little time :-D

Our little granddaughter was due yesterday (24th) but has decided not to make an appearance yet, her Daddy says she will prob arrive when we go on holiday (much needed) next week, we shall see.

Love to you all

Ann, I don't like thinking of Christmas this early but I am fed up of my Christmas cards being a last minute rush every year so would like to get organised and at least know what style I am going to make.

I really really can't think Christmas this early.

Sylvia glad you got your cupboards OK and hope you have now got the bladder sorted.
And, importantly, hope you computer is up and running.

Sylvia hope your new computer arrived safely and you are now up and running and that your cupboards are being put up, will be good for you to put all your kitchen things away and get cooking again.
Sorry to hear that you are having problems with your bladder again hope this time they have sorted it for you. Nice to hear that you are getting back to card making.

Keep looking at all the christmas goodies that are appearing, but have seen nothing that jumps out to me I know it is only July, but things seem to come out earlier and earlier.

Joxx

Well the new cupboards came today so now up to Henk to come and build them in. Hopefully the new computer wil come tomorrow.
My youngest daughter wanted to come on Wednesday but have told her to come a week later to help fill the cupboaards.
I have had a lot of pain again with my bladder so they fitted a new catheter this afternoon. The nurse asked if I objected to a studdent watching. I said no and in fact there were 4 students - the bedroom was rather crowded. Am glad they were all girls though.
I've now found my hobby scissors and today Johan found my hobby lamp so will be able to get down to card making again.
Love Syl xxx

Jill, I am always late sending mine in, but this month was a first for me I was actually on time!!
Joxx

Good afternoon to you all.
Thanks for the info about the ATCs, sorry a bit behind but will get mine posted Monday xx

Evening ladies hope you are all keeping well I am still house/animal sitting at daughters house. The weather has been lovely here which has meant lots of watering raised beds and pots and then there is the greenhouse......

Should be home on Sunday.

Sylvia, a new PC, now that sounds fun, you will probably find it much faster than your old one. I must admit I like my laptop, means like now I have bought it with me! I would image you will be very pleased when you have your new kitchen and also when you have got a new home help.

Have a lovely weekend everyone
Joxx

Hi all,
Well we've had no internet for a few days so couldn't contact you . We had a pc expert here today and are now going to buy a new pc!
That's the way the money goes!!
I have no help in the house at the moment and still don't have the units in my kitchen. I've just heard that they are coming tomorrow so will hopefully be able to cook next week again.
I hope next week to be able to find my card making equipment. It seems years since I last made a card.
Greetings to you all,Sylvia xxx

JILL-HEATHER as Lizz is joining back in with the ATC swap you will need to send 5 in future.
Joxx

Ann, I think the problem is that parents do not like the children out playing so organised activities seem to be the next best thing. They have friends round to play after school when they have nothing else on!

Sylvia lovely to see you back on line again and pleased to hear that the move went OK. Unpacking always takes time but I am sure you will get there especially once your kitchen is finished. Hope you like your new doctor. And wireless is so much faster than cable and means you could get a lap top and use it wherever in the place.

Joxx

Hallo all,
I'm back and coming up gasping for air. It has been so hot here and there is so much to do. Our children have been so helpful but I'm looking forward to one or two days without visitors!
My kitchen still has to be built in - thank god for the microwave!
My hairdresser comes here with the bus to do my hair, She doesn't promise every week but when she can either friday or saturday.
We've registered with a new doctor and he is coming tomorrow to meet us here - saves us going to him.
I've taken my old help on as my daughters and Johan said that the one I had didn't clean properly. I miss her. Now my help has gone on holiday for 3 weeks so don't know who I am going to have.
We now have internet without cable - don't know how you call it in English - wireless?
Haven't got down to any cardmaking yet.
Jo, the autumn ATC cards must be easy. Think of all those beautiful autumn colours - axminster carpet types.
My love to you all.

Jo I hope that your daughter appreciates what you do for her and does the same for her Grandchildren when the time comes. Goodness knows how my children managed without all these exta curricular activities, and I do wonder if it is all necessary. What happened to children just playing? My grandchildren are the same although we rarely get involved as they are 2 hours away from us. he older ones, the boys did not have the same outside commitments, it seems to be a fairly recent thing.

The invitation if beautiful, love how you have done it. Do you have the rest of the stationary to do as well? You are going to be very busy. I will send you a reminder of your ATC when it arrives, still haven't finished mine. Have two of the grandchildren staying for a week only been here 2 days and I am already exhausted, roll on next Tuesday, Looking after them is great fun, it is all the school runs at different times and also all the after school clubs they belong too. Tonight we have swimming for the 3yr old at 4, athletics club for the 7 yrs old till 4.30 then dance club from 4.45 till 6, would not be so bad if it was all local to me, but its not as it is all local to where my daughter lives, I can see the 3yr old will be missing some of his playschool next week, as I will be exhausted by then! Then Tuesday evening off to house sit for other daughter to look after all the chickens, dogs, cats, and hamsters - plus she has the builders in doing some work so no peace and quiet there as I was hoping for.

Hope things are going well for Sylvia at her new house.

Morning :)

Jo, I've changed my profile pic to one of the wedding invites I'm doing, will change back to me in a few days. They are very simple, which helps when doing quite a few.

Re: Atc's I've forgotten what mine look like ;-)


Heather x

I hope we see photos of the wedding invites!!

I will speak to Issy. Not finished mine yet......

Afternoon girls,

Belated birthday wishes to Issy, hope my card arrived in time x

Jo I think I've sent my July atc's in advance, I'm sure I've sent enough though. Would you make sure when Issy gets back to you, thanks.

I'm currently having fun making wedding invites with my nestabilities :)
aah they are so easy to use in my little cuttlebug, a god send when lots of shapes are required.

Hope everyone is keeping well x x
