Afternoon ladies, from a very sunny Cheshire.

Ann hope you got your office finished, will have to start the diy on ours soon.

Jill have a very nice time in Canada in the snow ;))

Made a few quick cards with toppers, just so I have a few ready & waiting.

Hi everyone, not done very much today as I had to help OH by sorting and putting all my books back on the shelves in his office. There is so much in the off ice that he is decorating it wall by wall. Tomorrow he has to dismantle his computer desk and probably the modem (I may not be on line tomorrow if I am unlucky and he can't fix it for me) to do the last two walls. looking around me I really dread doing this room (my office.) All my pc stuff, family history folders and ring binders, books, CDs, craft stuff. A nightmare! No wonder these rooms don't get decorated very often.

Just ordered mattress topper for our bed to see if it helps my back problem.

Actually made two cards today from a kit that I had with Quick Cards made easy. supposed to be for Mothers day and valentines cards but I have made them into birthday cards. Quite pleased with them.

Hope you are all OK

Hi all,
Just had a lazy day, made some cards, got breakfast and dinner, but that is all. Have a nice evening.Sylvia xxx

Morning everyone, lovely and sunny here today, but very frosty, the sort of day I love.
Off now to attempt to make some cards, everything has been against me so far in getting them started.

Good evening ladies.
Been a lovely sunny day over here , frosty but lovely to run the dogs in the fields. Have managed to pack all the ski wear so just need to pack our normal clothes, luckily its all jeans and jumpers.
Think all my cards are in the post or ready to go, so no mad panic trying to get them made and sent.
Hope you are all having a good weekend

xx Jill

Yes Ann, walking on air.
The weather has been real Springlike and I can see the trees opposite us getting fuller by the day. Yes, they are in bud. It seemed only yesterday I was watching them shed their leaves, now I'm watching them growing new ones. The birds are also flying backwards and forwards more than usual. Does this mean little ones in the nest soon I wonder?
We have daffodils and narcissus in full bloom along the wayside here.
Had unexpected visitors for coffee today - a good job I made a cake yesterday afternoon. These are the friends of ours who won 7 million guilders on the lottery a few years ago. They bought me a huge bunch of orange tulips.
See you tomorrow.

Morning girls, not doing too much today.

Have a good weekend everyone

Morning everyone hope you are all OK. Trying to get my cards finished was going to do them yesterday but circumstances decided otherwise. Then off to babysit for eldest daughter. Back tomorrow.

Walking on air now then sylvia?

It was a lovely sunny day here today but very cold with a biting wind. we didn't do a lot, got the grocery shop, then OH cleared a few bits of rubbish from the loft and took them to the dump. I played on here for a while then tidies away some bits from OH's office which is the next room for decorating. (this weekend). Then I made one card.
Should be thinking about making Easter cards as it is early this year. Do you all make Easter cards?

Hi all,
Well I am spoilt for choice now that you have all given me ideas for a stamp "created by". Will have to weigh these up later and order. Thank you to all those who responded.
Today was one of my slow days and took me ages to move around and get dressed this morning, so Johan got the breakfast. I then got going and did some ironing and paid a social visit to my neighbour who is always pleased to see me. This afternoon Johan and I had a pedicure, so now our tootsies are feeling good!
See you tomorrow.

Morning girls,

Jojo I'm sure you will find some inspiration, hope we get to see them when you've finished.
I put my finished cards in my blog, photobucket is not my friend this week :))

Sylvia I have a little stamp with 'created by' on it, but I have to write my name on it too, it cost about £4.
What about creating your own labels on the PC?

The sun is shining here, lovely day again.
I might even clean windows, oops naughty word.

Speak later

Heather xx

Morning everyone, hope you are all OK. Weather here not too bad, at least the rain through the night has now stopped. Off to make some cards 2 for Christenings and 2 Anniversary cards. Need inspiration!!

Liz, just want to add the same, its great to have such a lovely friendly group to send cards to. Many thanks for starting us up xxxxx
Sylvia , I have peeloffs thant say "handmade by" think Imagination online will have them and they are very good for postage abroad

xx Jill

Sylvia I had some stickers made by someone selling them on ebay, they put on exactly what you want, found them so easy and fairly cheap.

Hi all,
Does anybody know where I can get a stamp made to stamp my cards "created by". I don't really like stamps but suppose there is not much alternative.
I had my help in today and we made a start on Spring cleaning my craft room. Anita kept saying "you haven't used that for ... years shall I throw it away". I had a job persuading her that I hope to have more time in the future to spend on my crafts.I have several boxes of tea bags, but haven't really managed to develop this hobby yet, but when I do I know I'll need lots of tea bags.
I know I am a hoarder, but then aren't all card makers hoarders?
See you tomorrow,.
