hello all

Hazel

[Lindy]

Hi Hazel, glad you'll be able to make one of the crops in January.

[sarahy]

Hiya

You all ready for Christmas?

Linda, can you put Mum and me down for the Saturday crop ? :)

[Happy Hazel]

just about ready Sarah

just have to get my veg today when i'm in town

also going to see Alvin and the chipmunks movie in the afternoon with my eldest son which will be nice

hazel

[Lindy]

Hope you enjoyed the movie Hazel.

Sarah, I've added you both to the list.

Did some last minute present shopping this morning - was in town by 8.45 to get a parking space. Spent this evening wrapping up all the presents, tomorrow we'll be delivering a lot of them. Not many sleeps now til the big day:lol:

[Happy Hazel]

didn't get to see the movie Linda as the cinema had changed the times and days for the film

will hopefully see a film with my eldest over the next few weeks

hazel

[PamelaH]

Its me Jill masquerading as Pamela!!!

Hi all

Am in the US and guess what I have been doing today, yep that's right craft shopping!!!

Struggling to send a pm to you Dee but I picked up on a thread on General Scrapping but I think Linda knows where she sent for the stuff and it was the Ellison site.

Hope you all have a brilliant Christmas and I'll try and come back on here after then.

Luv Jill

[Happy Hazel]

Jill Have a great Christmas

see you on the 5th January

Hazel

[lucyC:-)]

Hi all,

Hope you all have a brilliant Christmas, I'll be able to come to the crop on Wednesday in January, will there be enough kits for me to have one too please. We're in Whistler, It's snowing at the moment, it's just magical and very Christmassy!!!!

[Lindy]

Sounds fantastic Lucy - look forward to seeing some lovely photos of your trip.

I'll add you to the Wednesday list and order a kit for you too!

Back to work this morning for a few hours:(

[Happy Hazel]

morning all

Sounds like you're having fun Lucy would love to see the photo's of the snow

hazel

[PamelaH]

It's me Jill!!!!

Hi everyone

Sounds as if Lucy enjoyed her Christmas! Hope everyone else did!! Ours was the usual hectic time we have here with Pam and Jack and I think New Year is going to be even more so. We have people here on New Years Eve and after New Year get together on New Years Day!!!

Bought lots of craft stuff of course, including rubber stamps and some card blanks ready for my lessons in card making!! Also some more paper (do I need it??) brads and rub ons, an album (for the New Zealand trip) because it was cheaper than back home and my Cricut cart that Pam ordered on my behalf has turned up as well, so that completes all the cricut carts that I want which is good!

Hope everyone has a great New Year and looking forward to seeing everyone again

Jill

[Happy Hazel]

glad you are having a great time Jill

Hazel

[Craftdee]

Hi all, just bookmarking. Hope you all have a lovely New Year's Eve whatever you're up to.

[PamelaH]

Its me Jill!!!

Hi all

As I was on UKS thought I would just post - Hi Daynna am in the USA at the moment but I'm really Jillybee not PamelaH (that's my daughter!)

Really looking forward to all the January crops I'm at - taken quite a lot of photos whilst I have been here. Have bought a small journalling book whilst I have been here and think I might put them in that, though I expect there might be a few 12x12 pages as well. Found some great Basic Grey papers here and also have decided I really like Creative Imaginations papers so I have quite a few of those as well + quite a lot of other things as well of course! Sooooo cheap! Most of the papers I have got for 30p a sheet and some double sided was on offer and I got that for 20p a sheet!

Hope you are all ok and see you soon

Jill

[Craftdee]

Hi Jill, have a lovely time over there. I didn't realise you were going back to the USA again for New Year. You need your own private jet, lol.

Love the sound of your bargains - we should all move to the states :D

[Happy Hazel]

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone

hope you all have a great 2008


hazel

[Lindy]

Happy New Year to everyone.

Thanks for your text Hazel - couldn't reply networks busy and then found out I'd run out of credit this morning!

[Craftdee]

Happy New Year to Everyone - hope you're hangovers aren't too bad :D

[PamelaH]

Its me Jill!!!

Hi all

Happy New Year everyone!! Thanks for the text Hazel have replied to you.

Starting home tomorrow evening. Flight is about 8 hours something at this time of the year and then there is the drive from Gatwick - ugh I hate that bit!

Will be online Thursday evening at home I expect and will post then.

Jill

[Happy Hazel]

have a safe flight back Jill

hazel

[lucyC:-)]

Hi all,

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year. We arrived back in the U.K then went round to our neighbours to welcome in the New Year, I have been recovering all day though!!

[Lindy]

Hope your hangover wasn't too bad Dee.

Sounds like you've had a great time Lucy - see you at the Saturday crop.

DH has kindly passed his cold onto me so I've got the snuffles and fuzzy head - hopefully it won't hang around as long as his did.

I've almost completed the project I'm doing with this months kit so hopefully it will be on the homepage of Scr@paholics by early next week for you to look at.

[Craftdee]

:D thanks Lindy, no just a slight cotton wooly head that's all. It was very quiet so I just stayed in and got pleasantly pickled. :D

[Jillybee]

Hi all

Am back and ready to scrap!! Must get my head around stuff to do on Saturday !!

[Daynna]

Good morning all

did you have a good tim in america jill? i'd love to go to america maybe in a few yrs!

its cold! gotta do some cleaning then sort out some bits to get rid of i cant believe how much rubbish we have we are only a family of 4!

Also have to tidy the kids bedroom up how much mess can they make?? as we have dss staying this weekend so much to do! and i just cant be bothered lol

How is everyone??xx

[Lindy]

Hope you managed to get the cleaning done and leave some time for yourself.

I'm off to America with Jill later in the year - already very excited about the prospect:lol:

[Jillybee]

Hi all

Had a brill time Daynna - bought far too much craft stuff of course - its sooooo cheap!

Think Linda and me might have to take an empty suitcase when we go back to the US - OMG

See you tomorrow Hazel!

[Daynna]

Oh wow your lucky, Just one suitcase lol!

my cousin went in october on her honeymoon didnt ask her to bring anything as she doesnt do the whole crafty thing its only me

i got loads sorted cleaned out under the stairs, did 4 massive big bags full and the some other bits and pieces i think the bin men will be shocked but lucky for us we live above shops so have skip thingys for bins

night all
xxx

[Jillybee]

Ha ha Daynna shove it in someone else's bin!!! Have sometimes thought of doing that!!! Skips rented by someone else are always useful!

Unfortunately when you travel cattle class you are only allowed one suitcase - probably just as well!!!!! Goodness know how much I would bring back if I was posh and travelled club etc!

[Happy Hazel]

evening all

Hi Daynna don't think we've met i'm Hazel and i also live in Plymouth

Looking forward to tomorrow Jill got my bags almost ready

hazel

[Jillybee]

Yep I have got stuff packed but I am winging it tomorrow, so its scarey!!!!

[Happy Hazel]

i wing it everytime Jill :lol:

hazel

[Jillybee]

So you are used to it. I'm not!!!!!! Aaaarghhh!!!

[Happy Hazel]

you'll be fine honest

hazel

[Jillybee]

Is that a promise? Feel as if I am on shakey ground!

[Happy Hazel]

that's a promise Jill you'll be fine i'm there if you need a hand with anything

i'll be bringing my cat stamps and my new flower stamps as well

hazel

[Jillybee]

Oooh sounds as if Christmas has been and gone! My friend in Canada bought me a little cat stamp! Think I'm coming armed to the teeth with stuff. I have got everything but the kitchen sink with me!

Well see you in the morning Hazel

[Happy Hazel]

see you in the morning Jill nite

hazel

[Craftdee]

Ladies I'm here to give you a heads up. The Prima Divas are setting a weekly challenge on 3rd March so please would you pop it in your diaries and join in if you can. Would love to see your work.

[Lindy]

Will look out for the challenge Dee. Had a great time at friends crop today - managed to get 3 out of the 5 LO's I wanted to do done, might try and get the other two done this evening if I don't get home too late from Lisa's.

Daynna well done with your sorting out.

[Jillybee]

Hi all

what a bummer would have loved to do the challenge Dee but I am still away.

Did 2 LOs today but trying to get my Christmas journal done. Goodness knows what I am going to do next Saturday at the crop. Was sooooo scarey winging it today - not going to do that again!

[Happy Hazel]

winging it does'nt suit everyone Jill

hazel

hehehe ... don't worry Jill you've got plenty of time. It's not going live until 3rd March, :D

[Jillybee]

Any chance of a preview Dee???? I will be away til the 15th March from next week.

[Happy Hazel]

evening all

hazel

[Craftdee]

As soon as i know what the complete theme is i'll let you now jilly (I'll PM it to you as I would probably not be doing the team any favours by giving it away - another team might swipe the idea, lol) however I'll give you a clue - it's going to involve recycling (shhhh!)

[Jillybee]

Just thought I could put in an early LO for the challenge!!!! Got to be quick though!

[Happy Hazel]

evening all
i've had the most laziest morning ever all i done was curl up on the settee with 2 pillows and a duvet to keep me warm and i just read my book

this afternoon i escorted one of my elderly residents to the fracture clinic at derriford as she needed her wrist to be checked, i was in and out of derriford just over 1 hour which was really good i was expecting to be there at least 3 hrs or maybe even more

hazel

[Daynna]

Afternoon

Wow hazel (and Hi!) that was quick, it normally is a 3 hour wait up there they do seem to be better except i went a few years back to get my rings cut off as i had an allergic reaction and couldnt get them off i was there 3 1/2 hrs and it wasnt even busy!

they seem to be quite good with young and old people tho.

cant not wait till tomorrow the dyson man is coming to fix my dyson, every other hoover ive used has died the lastest one this morning it started smoking so its now out side waiting to be binned! roll on dyson man!

xx

[Lindy]

Hi Daynna - hope the Dyson man has been.

I've been busy scrapbooking this month and so far have managed to keep up with the January challenge I found on another website which challenged you to do a LO a day. Although I haven't actually done a LO every day I have managed to complete 7 LO's over the course of 4 days so am on track to completing 31 in January - if I can keep it up that is:lol:

Had dentist this morning just a check up and had the all clear - thank goodness - I don't like going to the dentists although my dentist as a person is nice enough.

My friend is coming round tonight so not sure I'll get any crafting done today:( but seeing my friend will be worth missing it.

[Craftdee]

Oh goodness, i know how that feels Lindy. I cracked a molar in half over christmas (thankfully it's not painful) but I have to go and have it seen to at the end of the month - dreading it!

[Jillybee]

Hi all

I am not even going to talk dentists - hate them all even when they are good looking!!!!

Had a good crop today at Exeter. Got the weekly challenge more or less done, forgot something so I'll post it tomorrow. Trying to get my Christmas journal done and then I must get my head around Saturday - no way am I winging it again - its far too frightening!!

[Daynna]

i have denist tomorrow having children has killed my teeth, im am pooping my pants to be honest. think i need some good relaxing drugs before i go lol!

Did you hear about the little girl who died today, just down the road from me and is friends with neighbours children they are so upset horrible thing to happen. My neighbours little girl just keeps crying she only spent last week having a sleep over with her. RIP stephanie xx

[Happy Hazel]

Hi Daynna

yes i did hear about the little girl in southway i really feel for her parents as they said goodbye to her this morning and then this tragedy happened

hazel

[Lindy]

It's an awful tragedy and my heart goes out to her parents.

[sarahy]

I have got the lurgy! I need everyone to wish that I get better for Saturday!

[Happy Hazel]

hope you get better for Saturday Sarah

Hazel

[Lindy]

Hope you feel better very quickly sending you {{{{hugs}}}}

[Craftdee]

Wishing you well so you'll be able to join us Sarah :D

I too heard about the little girl in Southway. What a terrible tragedy.

[Jillybee]

Wishing you well Sarah - think everyone has a lurgy of some sort at the moment - wish DH would stop coughing!

[sarahy]

Thanks, I feel blooming terrible at the moment! If this carries on I will not be able to make it on Saturday!

Keeping my fingers crossed.

[Jillybee]

How are you Sarah? Hopefully at least a bit better anyway.

[Happy Hazel]

still sending you lots of get well wishes for Saturday Sarah

Hazel

[Happy Hazel]

morning all

hope you are all having a good day so far

i'm about to do some scrapping as i can't be with you all tomorrow :(

will be there on the 23rd though

hazel

[Jillybee]

Hi Hazel

Its a good day for scrapping isn't it - not exactly a day to be out in the garden!!

[Happy Hazel]

have to confess i've not done any scrapping yet :(

hazel

[Jillybee]

Ahh well the thought was there!!

[Happy Hazel]

the thought was there but i've been on here since i got home at 8.30am

will be going out in a bit so i'll be back on line tonight

hazel

[sarahy]

Hi everyone

I am still feeling really poorly so I won't be able to make it tomorrow, I wouldn't want to inflict this bug on anyone! That means Mum won't be there either. So sorry to let you down, hope to see you all next month.

[Jillybee]

Sorry to hear you still aren't well Sarah. Hope to see you in April as I am not at the crops for a couple of months. Take care and get better.

[Lindy]

Thanks for letting us know Sarah - but hoping it doesn't hang around too much longer for you.

[Craftdee]

Hi Lindy, thanks for being so understanding re the text message I sent to you today. I went to see dad in Derriford tonight - he is all puffed up on steroids (his lung has collapsed). Tomorrow we are off to Frenchay to see mum - I think that might be a bit more traumatic. Sorry I can't come to the crop - I could've really done with the scrapping therapy this weekend :(

[Happy Hazel]

dee sending you some hugs hun and hope mum and dad is getting on the mend slowly

hazel

[Jillybee]

Poor you Dee will be thinking of you.

[Craftdee]

Thank you my lovelies, that means a lot. It's not going to be a great weekend ... at least not until Sunday - when I hope I'll bump into you all at the Craft Fair in Exeter. That will cheer me up no end, it usually does. I'm going to be outnumbered by Welshies (all the girls I'm going up with are Welsh :D:D:D - we'll be the Celt clan though :D:D:D)

[Happy Hazel]

wish i could make sunday but i have my 2 of my children out for sunday roast which will be nice

hazel

[Craftdee]

Sounds lovely Hazel - hope you have a lovely time with your offspring :)

[Daynna]

evening all

sorry to hear about your dad hope he gets well soon.

i havnt done any scrapping for ages either, need to get some ink before i can and new paper so not the best start to the yr lol

xx

[Lindy]

It was a good crop today, lots of chat and laughter. To those that couldn't make it sending you my best wishes to make you feel better and deal with your current situations.

Daynna will be good to see you at one of the crops soon.

Dee, we're setting off about 9.30 so should be up there for about 10.30 - you've got my mobile no. give us a text and perhaps we could meet up for a coffee if we don't bump into each other.

[Jillybee]

Sorry I missed you today Hazel - had to cover for Louise today as she was off this week, unfortunately she had a threatened miscarriage last weekend so has understandably been off this week - on the postive side though the scan she had on Wednesday shows everything is still ok. Will be working all next week too!

hazel

[Craftdee]

Hi Ladies, just wanted to check in with you all and say thanks for the good wishes. I am over tired tonight. Have tried to sleep but just can't get to the land of nod - thus I'm back on the PC until my eyes go blurry and they have no choice but to close, lol.

[Lindy]

Hope you've managed to get some much needed sleep Dee.

[Daynna]

Afternoon everyone.x

[Lindy]

Hello Daynna - how's your day been?

[Craftdee]

Just checking in again. Sleep pattern seems to be shot at the moment but that's my body telling me I'm stressed I think. I'm going to try hot chocolate and lavender oil to help me sleep tonight. Fingers crossed!

[Lindy]

Hope they both work for you Dee.

I've had a pretty good day, DS1, DIL and GS came round today. We went and had a look at dining room tables to go with our new kitchen when it's done! Saw just what I was looking for, but it's not cheap - then again what is these days?

[Happy Hazel]

evening all

hope you manage to get your sleep pattern back to normal Dee
