Hi sylvia, so you have bad weather too, not just us in UK.

thank you for the newspaper tip, I will remember that one. Hope hospital trip goes OK.

I spent the afternoon doing a page for my scrap book. This one was of youngest grandson (eleven). He is football mad so I didn't have a problem with what to put on the page.

Morning girls, well the sun is shining here this morning, lovely :)
Ann I have the same problem with the top of my cupboards, I won't stand on anything higher than a chair lol, so hubby does them twice a year.
Sylvia do you mean the embossed cuttlebug card?
I'll send you some, I've only got snowflakes,script and swirl.The cards will only be small tho, as the embossing folders are small.
Sorted some pics out for scrapbooking, just got to sort papers out now :)

Morning everyone, no rain at the moment, sun was shining but even that has gone now. Just got back from taking dog for a walk and we are both muddy! How, I ask myself as we walked on the pavement and road, back of my jeans are filthy, as it wasn't raining I didn't wear my wellies, what a mistake!
Sylvia love the paper on top of the cupboards trick will try that, cleaning the top of the cupboards is the worst bit.

Afternoon everyone,
Just been to tesco to do the grocery shop, funny how the patterned card and packet of gemstones (87p) fell into the trolley! They have a new children's craft centre with lots of bits that can be useful to card makers and scrap bookers.

Yesterday I finished a page for the scrap book on my eleven year old Grandson. I changed a couple of his photos to black and white and was really pleased with the layout when I had finished it.

Hi all,
Ann, have you been spending your household money on craft goodies again - good for you!
Girls, it is just old newspapers on top of the cuphoards and obviously they will get greasy and dusty, then throw them away and put some more up there - simple or not? You see I don't like housework either! Much sooner spend my time making cards.
I have never seen a cuttlebug machine yet, but on the internet can buy some cards reasonably priced and finish them off to my own liking.
Johan had another nose bleed this morning but it did stop. He didn't take any blood thinning tablets. He had to see the ear, nose and throat specialist this afternoon, so the nose bleed came at a good time!
Yesterday we were at the hospital for echos of our hearts, so I didn't want to go with Johan again today. I find it so tiring, especially as I am going through a phase of getting up at 4.30 am. When you know I go to bed at 1.00 am then you see I have very little sleep. I frightened the poor nurse yesterday when she was doing my heart echo as I kept dropping off to sleep, and she had to keep shaking me.
Have at last finished my ATCs for February. Am anxious to know the title for the next lot.
Have a nice evening everybody.
Sylvia xxx

Afternoon girls,

Ann I know what you mean about the craft stuff, I'm terrible if I go to asda, always have to put something in the trolley :)
Nice to see you back Sylvia, hope your hubby gets sorted at the doctors, he is suffering with his nose bleeds isn't he xx
Atc's - all suggestions for forthcoming titles gratefully received.

Hi girls, just back from town, had OH with me today so had to be a bit restricted in what I bought craft ise as he knows how much I have here in my 'office'. still one pack of football toppers from the works, a couple of bits from Buyology and another couple of bits from wilkinsons so I am happy.

Good afternoon ladies.I managed to pick up some embossing powder and paper flowers when we popped up the road to get some chicken feed. We only have avery small craft section but sometimes there are some good bits to buy.
We are counting down the days to the holiday and am surrounded by skis and ski wear. Need to get it all packed next weekend then its just the normal clothes to sort out.

xx Jill

Morning girls,

Weathers a bit yukky here again :(
Hope it's not affecting you too much Ann & Jill.
Off to do my Friday clean up then out the door for my crafting afternoon.
Hope you all have a good weekend.

Jill happy holidays to you, please don't come back with broken bones xx

Morning Heather and Jill and all other ladies looking in (& gents of course but they don't do they?). A very dark damp day here, many roads in Gloucester closed but mainly down by the river this time. don't think there are any houses flooded. very miserable out though so staying home today.

Jill, hope you can get all the gear packed OK. Remind me, where are you skiing?

Ann
Glos

Not being the athletic sort the only reason I would like to go to a ski resort is to take photos.

Ann

I wonder if anybody can help me, please?

After much careful consideration, I decided on the card I wanted to make my daughter for your upcoming nuptials. Have now made said card and am very pleased with the result.

However, I am now stuck on what verse to put inside. Does anyone have a favourite? Or could you suggest one, please?
Thanks.
Sue

By the way, - that's for HER upcoming nuptials, not yours (lol)

Sue
found this one on line

Two lives, two hearts
joined together in friendship
united forever in love.

Thanks Anne, that's nice. Any more out there?

By the way, got the wedding album from QVC. Can't wait to put it all together now.

Went down the local mall yesterday and got the shoes to match my wedding outfit. Almost finished now. When we're there, we're going ice-skating (well, I really would like to say I'd done it, but whether I'll have the courage at the time is another matter), and the following day we've all been booked in for a waltzing lesson. Sounds like we're going to have a good time.

Anybody out there been to Vienna?

Hope you don't mind me replying to KC ladies.

Here is a site with some verses....hope this helps

Feel free Susan

Sue, I do have a verse I like, on other 'puter so will go an find it.

Just going to watch QVC as it is craft day today. Must admit I love the TSV but there is so much in it I would not use. I really do not like stamping so they would not get used and there is just too many cats and dogs for me.
Have a good weekend all of you.
Jo

Good morning ladies and hope you are all keeping well. At last it is dry over here and the fields are back to normal and not flooded.
Going to spend the afternoon crafting as John will be watching the sport. Not been tempted by the TSV as not my type so will get to save some pennies and I do want to use up all the crafting kits from the last couple of years.
Hope you all have a lovely weekend

xx Jill

I know one that my brother and his wife put into their order of service and it sums those two up perfectly.

They are a two person riot - I love it at their house!

"To keep your marriage brimming,
With love in the loving cup,
whenever you're wrong admit it,
Whenever you're right shut up."

By Ogden Nash (1902 -1971)

I really like it!
