Many thanks for your lovely card Ann,came this morning....

love Jean xx P.S all clear at the dentist, 5 mins in £30 bill !!!!

Oh,Ann, I have had a ball with the printer, I have done all sorts of sizes. large ones of J and myself when we were young and fancy free....lol... Noticed my clothes are back in fashion too...I have just done a large photo of my godaughters youngster, Katie, and framed it like Dee did( I think it was dee)
added some adornments round the edges, different way to present a photograph......I had intended to sort the last few boxes out, but got carried away.....lol......have you located the bus pass yet?

love Jean xx.

Now Jean, put those photos in a safe place..... One where you can find them!

Yeeee, we have lift off I have just printed off lots of photos, some are a little light, but look o.k. I am not good at all this tec stuff, but we will have to see what they look like on the page.... but I want to do my friends golden wedding book first trying to get it done for christmas... still trying to tidy the house up too....

Hi Jean, one reason I stopped doing decoupage cards this year, with over 100 to post I just couldn't afford it.

Sallie have just posted the mags as promised, also sent yo a p.m.

I am about to start printing off the Photos you all sent me, so hopefully I get it right its quite a while since I did any printing, so everything X.

posted the cards too, although had to add extra postage, well couldnt have folks paying the extra....lol.... hope they all arrive safely....

have a good day....

love Jean xx

I think Daff has been a bit occupied as she has her son staying with her for a while and her little granddaughter for a week now and then, but she has not stopped, is just having a breather I think

I am sure you would enjoy making cards, it get a hold of you and is very therapeutic..

No Ann, I'm still plugging away at it, not much left to do, it's coming slowly though.

I'm thinking of having a go at making cards after Christmas when both Scrapbooks are done. I'll wait and see how things go.

Has Daff done anymore to the Scrapbook she's making? I've been wondering about her.

Love, Sallie.xx

And you thought you were going to have to give some away Jean, got more friends than you thought Lol!!!!


Anybody scrapping at the moment, not many posts on here!! I know Sallie is scrapping away, have you finished it yet Sallie?

I have just done my card list and even though I made all those cards, and was sure I had loads over, I find I am six short, I was amazed, never thought I sent so many. nice excuse to make some more though.....I have put stamps on most of them ready to send, but they have quite thick embellishments on so hope they go o.k. think I will take them in to the post office and ask if I have put enough stamps on,,, wouldnt want anyone having to pay extra....I sent a few e-cards too, but havent heard if anyone has recieved them, I think I prefer to post them.....

love Jean xx

Done

That reminds me Jean can you PM me your address if you don't mind for a Christmas card.

gee thanks!

Sorry Ann, got waylaid with my reply, yes they are twisted , nowhere as nice as the proper decoupage. so as its only one ,I will do it May even pass it on to you .....lol......

Jean???

No didn't see that Jean, are those the cards where like decoupage you have pieces of the picture that go on top of one another so the picture is 'skewed'? If so i don't like the finished result.

Did anyone watch Dawn Bibby on qvc yesterday, she showed the twisted card, wish I had seen them before I bought some to try, wasnt to impressed with them , still I will have a go , I am desperate to get on with my scrapping,
Sallie, hope to send you some mags asp. when I can get to them....
When I first started crafting, I used to buy everthing from qvc, there wasnt many craft shops available and I didnt use a computer, so spent far too much with them, now its very easy to buy all the craft stuff you want almost anywhere, I somtimes buy qvc stuff off e-bay, at half the cost... always worth having a look round....

Called sods law I think ,Ann....lol....

Why is it that, despite having a small drawer full of card scraps, when I want a piece for matting I never have the colour I want so have to start a whole new sheet?

Ooh that will be wonderful to scrap Linda, bet you can't wait!!
