Happy spending! :-D :-D :-D

There is also a voucher n the D+++++xX...........so it can be cut out save printing off, sadly my nearest H/C is too far away , so hope you all have a good spend,

I have had a naff morning I bought some A4 magnetic sheets to put my dies on , cant find them anywhere, they only came yesterday, so still in the white envelope, but my oh is great at putting stuff in the bin and they have just been emptied :-0 so what are the odds on them being in the refuse van :-|ah well back to reorder them......
love Jean x

They work well Jean how do you store your dies. I have some in a Marianne folder and some on magnetic paper in a CD holder (zip up type) but wonder if there is a better way.

Been making a rag wreath, hope it shows on my profile picture

Glad you put it on here Jill. I was trying to look at it on Facebook, three times zi got to your post with the wreath and three times either Facebook or my IPad decided to throw me out. Weird. I am definitely not Facebook literate!

The wreath is lovely, very attractive. Did it take you long to make? :-)

I keep all of them in a big box and in their original covers, with spellbinders it will be easier to have them on a magnetic sheet in a seperate folder and I will keep them in a ring file so every make is seperate, at least that is the intention....lol...

Not that long as you just cut strips of 1inch by 6 and just tie them found each of the rings in the frame. After a bit. it starts to take shape :-) I want to do one in blues and white ribbon to have up in my kitchen plus will make some for craft fairs .

Pretty anyway Jill.

Good idea jean, a lot of them are too large for the zcD case and the Marianne folder doesn't hold that many, not cheap either.

Jill how do you store yours?

I have a large carry box and store them in it but do keep all the smaller ones in bags, looks a bit of a mess at the moment though :-)I keep the spellbinders in the wrapping they come in and I just flip through the box, cannot seem to find a better system.

xx Jill

I suppose it also depends how many you have too. Wonder what others do?

So the thread doesn't disappear into the ether.

Happy crafting
Von :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

For textile/yarn crafters, I found this FB page yesterday and think it is fab.

google Annie Montgomerie Dolls. I'm not sure how much you'll see if not signed to FB but the lady is also on Etsy and flickr which should also come up on google.

hi ladies, yesterday I had a nice day with G'son. he helped me make a decoupage card for him to give his uncle for Christmas.

I have him a few times through the school holidays and he asked me if we could but a kit and sew a teddy bear. He said they made one at school, but the dog chewed his up. so he wants to make another. I like sewing , he said.

My property is on the market, but I will be staying here until it sells. So I just had to get out my papercraft supplies and do a few. Looks like I need to get my sewing needles out too. Thats a plus + CAnt sit around doing nothing while I wait for a buyer.

Lol I thought when you said it was all packed away that it wouldn't last Moonbi. :-D So, have you had anyone interseted yet?

yes, I have had 3 lots looking, and 1 other enquiry.
but no offers. property sales are slow here, but the interest rate is down again 2 weeks ago, so may be an incentive for some. I put a half page advert in coast to coast website, getting the property out nation wide.

But for us self funded retirees lower interest rates is not good news.

I got the teddy bear supplies, already for when Gson comes later today. HAppy times ahead!

Have fun :-D :-D
