Fiona she looks great - love the helmet! Just reminded me I have not scrapped my DD on her first bike yet!

Like the pink crash hat!! thanks the helmet is a bit crazy isnt it!! not sure quite that much protection in needed just yet!!!

[Happy Hazel]

evening all

like the photo Fiona and the pink helmet

[cw18]

And no - Cheryl it's not my DH - he only reads the thread, knows it would be more than his life's worth to actually post!!!
If MY hubby understood the 'net and forums it would be worth more than HIS life to even READ the thread :lol:

[cw18]

thanks the helmet is a bit crazy isnt it!! not sure quite that much protection in needed just yet!!!

The sooner she gets used to it, the more she's likely to accept it later though. Mine already rode bikes before the hype about helmets -- and although I bought them one each they hardly ever wore them. And I was well aware that if I refused to unlock the shed so they could get their bikes out until the hemets were on, as soon as they were round the corner the helmets came off and were slung over the handlebars :wacko:

Finally explained the dangers in pretty graphic detail, left a load of literature around, and stopped nagging them about wearing them -- wasn't much else I could do apart from get rid of the bikes. And they'd still have ridden friends bikes if I'd done that :rolleyes:

[fiona2277]

im glad she wares a hat but its so big she looks funny!!! dh wont ware a het and im always telling him off but it has no effect!

[Suky]

A BIA mini book to showcase my flower photos using a favourite poem of mine 'Dust if you must'.

[Suky]

Ooh, Bu**er didn't mean to do that

[fiona2277]

wow love the book suky

[Suky]

Meant to put thumbnails in. Will I ever get to grips with this :D

[Suky]

How do I make my images thumbnils that you can click on? I have them on PhotoBucket.

[fiona2277]

sorry no idea!!

[Suky]

See, now I have buried you all under the weight of my pictures :D :D

[fiona2277]

im here but i burried the keyboard under photos:D

[Suky]

Hi :D
I guess who I need is Cheryl, she knows 'everything' :D

[fiona2277]

yep she is 'sad techy' :D

[Suky]

I am so not techy! I am amazed I managed to get the images on PhotoBucket and then on here even if they were ginormous. I have some more I want to show you but I'm scared now :D

[Suky]

Right, DH is home and CSI is on soon. See you later, Fiona, don't get buried under the photos :)

[faeryscrapper]

Evening :)

Fi, love the pink bike & the helmet :lol:

[cw18]

How do I make my images thumbnils that you can click on? I have them on PhotoBucket.
You want them on your PC to do them as thumbnails

Hi :D
I guess who I need is Cheryl, she knows 'everything' :D
:ph34r:

yep she is 'sad techy' :D
less of the 'sad' please :nono:

Mine didn't like wearing cycle helmets till a lad DS1s age was killed after he rode into the side of a stationary van. Road safety officers visited the schools in the are and told the kids that he would probably still be alive if he had been wearing a helmet. Saying that I have had to take DS2 to A&E with an egg sized lump on his head after coming off his bike when not wearing it!!

[faeryscrapper]

Off to bed - nighty night all!

[cw18]

night Fae :wub:

[fiona2277]

im off in a bit, but do i count a DLO as 1 sad challange or 2??? ive done a card and a DLO tonight fo feeling really chuffed with myself!! *polishes halo*

[cw18]

Hmmm.... good question! Think I'd only claim 1, as it's only one "piece of work" -- even though I'd get double points for my original team :unsure:

I'm about to turn in too.... need to try and get my body clock back on track quickly so I can get up for work on Monday ;)

[Alibri]

Evening all! Like Cheryl - I braved the wilds of Ikea - but at 6pm, rather than am - I would never have gotten DH out of bed at that time anyway! We only got a few bits and bobs and it was manic, but at least now I have two lots of drawers for my Expedit unit - they are to try and sort out my stamps. I shall have to put them together after my crop tomorrow. I didn't buy what Cheryl did, but our bill still came to £46.50! We could have happily spent a lot more - especially on garden furniture - but don't have it, so that removes the decision making, doesn't it?

I watched "Castaway" again - still enjoyed it but am soooo tired - am off to bed. Have a great Sunday! :)

[fiona2277]

thanks Cheryl that was what i was thinking too, off to bed when i have finished putting things away so see you in the mornxx

[cw18]

I looked at the Expedit on Thursday night - specifically went looking for it before I looked at other options, as so many UKS members seem to love it and the largest 185x185cm unit (5x5 sections) would fit on my main 'crafting' wall. However, I'd have to find somewhere else in the room to install my laptop (so I have a surface I can get my legs under) which was a problem.

I also looked at the size of a cubby hole once a cupboard unit was inserted (didn't like the opaque boxes that will slot in, as a mess would still be semi on show) and the internal dimensions on the drawers. If I already had a unit I think I would probably have been down for some of the inserts, but as I was starting with a blank canvas I quickly came to conclusion I'd get very little of my stash into it --- certainly not much more than I'll get into the kitchen units I have planned for that wall, and I'm leaving a desk space in the run as well.

I can see why it's popular when people have to keep their stash in a living or dining room though :)

[suttyscrappers]

Fiona a DLO counts as 2 SAD points (you get a point for each 12x12 you do ) this is what i counted for Lynne last month

[jo.bee]

Morning.

Off to Spynie Loch this morning to do a spot of birdwatching with DS1 and his Discovery Club from school. Camera and binoculars at the ready!!

[faeryscrapper]

Morning all :)

Miserable weather - hope it cheers up by tomorrow as my parents arrive in the afternoon!

[jo.bee]

Got any plans while they are up?

[faeryscrapper]

Shopping! For a new computer hopefully but also going to try and convince Mum she really needs to take me to Freddies ;)

[coxabey]

Fae - dare I ask what is Freddies?

Cold and grey here - but at least I don't have any laundry to do! Hoping to catch up on all our V+ programmes while doing some knitting. Have realised that I just can't do any scrapping at the weekends (except next weekend of course!)

[faeryscrapper]

Fat Freddies? They're a sponsor on here.

[weblet_h]

Morning all - how is everyone?

I have plans for reading and scrapping today so hoping that I managed to achieve both.
Work has been keeping me busy and with long days i'm sorry i've not been around much

Hope everyone is ok x

[Suky]

Thankyou Cheryl, I knew you'd know the answer :D
So, here goes, my mini book in B & W, showcasing some of my flower photos! Part II :D The cover and the first pages are back on page 1 of this thread.

[coxabey]

Fat Freddies? They're a sponsor on here.

ah ha! now I get it!

[coxabey]

Suky - your book is just GORGEOUS! Lovely photos and that poem says it all really!

[Suky]

that poem says it all really!
It does doesn't it :D Mind you, since I got a lovely 'Flylady' feather duster for Christmas I do a lot more than I used to 'cos it's so quick and easy. When my kids were small they knew if they 'wrote' in the dust then they had to clean it :D
I love photographing flowers, well they stand still and don't moan, and have so many pictures I will have to make an album just for them.

[suttyscrappers]

im about to start my mountain of ironing and await the influx of family visiting us as usual. Im beginning to think if i stand ironing then they wont think its OK to sit drinking endless cups of tea and eating everything in sight until about 6-7 o'clock tonight until they finally realise im NOT cooking dinner AGAIN for about 12!!!
As much as i love my family its getting to be too much EVERY weekend. I hope they dont take it too personally when i tell them they are NOT visiting next weekend (although DH may invade their houses with the kids in search of something to do!!)
OK slightly wry hunoured rant over!!

p.s Hi Helen...great to 'see' you again. hope work is going well for you

[faeryscrapper]

Hi Helen, great to see you :wub: Hope you're not working too hard!

[weblet_h]

Nice to see evceryone again also - thanks for being so understanding about my random appearances.
Work going ok but can be out for up to 12 hours a day :(

Away next weekend with a friend though and we are taking scrapping things :D

[faeryscrapper]

Awwww :(

Have a fabulous time next weekend :wub:

[cw18]

Suky -- I love how you've kept the papers b&w to let the photos stand out, but managed to match up the blossoms on the opposite page so well to the colours in the photos :wub:

[Suky]

Suky -- I love how you've kept the papers b&w to let the photos stand out, but managed to match up the blossoms on the opposite page so well to the colours in the photos :wub:

Thankyou, more luck than judgement on the first page but then I noticed! :D I love B & W, use B & W photos a lot too.

[coxabey]

I must say, I've got loads of flower photos as well - was thinking of doing a 'flower album' but 12x12 seems a bit big. Might think about doing 6x6 if I can find an album/page protectors.

I've just about finished my cc planner - just have to print out some of the classes and timetable and then I can put it all together.

[jo.bee]

Back from twitching - it was surprisingly good fun. Glorious weather here so the five mile walk was enjoyable.

[bevb]

Hi everyone!!!
Joan, congrats on winning the LO prize, well deserved :love:
Helen, hi nyn, hope work isnt getting in the way too much of your scrapping.....I knew there was a reason I only work part-time ;) Not that I get much done during the week :(
Suky, beautiful book, love the b & w pp.
Cheryl, well done on your Ikea purchases!!!! When I get a craft room I would love the ikea units ( fat chance in the next 10 years though:wacko:) Have threatened DD1 that I am going to start using her room for some of my craft stuff, seems a shame to waste the space when she's at uni :lol:
Fae, hope you have lots of fun when your parents visit, are they coming far???

[Suky]

Looks like I'm not the only thread killer here then, Bev.
Advance warning! I have been out taking more flower pictures in the sunshine. This was a lucky happenstance. Cheryl, you may regret telling me how to do this :D
ETA. just noticed there is a greenfly in there too!

[faeryscrapper]

Fae, hope you have lots of fun when your parents visit, are they coming far???

Thanks Bev :wub: They're coming from Somerset!

[Beadie Am]

Well, we were planning on going to London this afternoon to have some hummus and see friends, when he got called into work :( However, he did come back with a huuuuge slab of white and milk marbled choccie with bits on from Sainsburys.

[Scrapcomber]

Afternoon everyone, had a good time at the crop yesterday from 10-10pm, so got a lot done and had a lot of fun at the same time. :D

[Scrapcomber]

Forgot to say, well done Joan on your winning LO.

[Beadie Am]

I'm losing the plot - I've just asked to host a seaside/caost themed ATC swap...

[Scrapcomber]

Me! Me! Me! please Amanda, I just love anything seasidey, can you let me know when the thread goes up please :D

[Beadie Am]

Certainly, Lynne :)

[Alibri]

Hi everyone - back from the crop today - fun as usual! I faffed around as usual, too. But managed to finish off one double lo, do one single, and make 5 cards which is not too bad. :)

[jo.bee]

I have been faffing this afternoon too - and I'm not sure about it.

Callum @ Huntly Castle (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=157820&cat=2)

[Beadie Am]

Just left you a comment, Jo. I think it's great :)

[Alibri]

Yup Jo - I would consider it finished. :)

[Scrapcomber]

How did you do the flowers Jo please?

[jo.bee]

They are felt ones that came with the kit - with a button sewn in the middle.

[Scrapcomber]

Thank you, What about the stems?

[jo.bee]

It was cut from the Making Memeories 5th Avenue paper "Berry" I think it is.

[Tillybud]

Evening girls how are you all ?
Ive finally got 5 minutes to myself. Ive had a really busy weekend

[Beadie Am]

Just been watching Stephen Fry on the Gutenburg press. Utterly fascinating. And now DH wants to build one...

[suttyscrappers]

I have done 5 hours ironing today inbetween tea making and still have more to do.....thank goodness kids go back to school tomorrow!

confessions time:ph34r:

Fae has been spotted on the DQ thread admitting to buying stamps today .... and i have £30 worth of blooms kits sat waiting in my basket.... and im procrastinating on hitting checkout.....but with 30% off if you spend £30 its got to be worth it right???

[Beadie Am]

Definitely worth it, Andrea!

And, um, I bought some ink and some stamps the other day that I, um, forgot to mention.

[suttyscrappers]

i did it.....although in my defence i am seriously lacking in the blossoms department!

[faeryscrapper]

Fae has been spotted on the DQ thread admitting to buying stamps today ....

Which cost me $14 and came out of eBay funds :P

[Beadie Am]

Even more reason to then :)

(Hang on, shouldn't I have been discouraging you? Ahh well!!)

[faeryscrapper]

Definitely worth it, Andrea!

And, um, I bought some ink and some stamps the other day that I, um, forgot to mention.



:lol: What did you get?

[faeryscrapper]

i did it.....although in my defence i am seriously lacking in the blossoms department!

Where did you get them from?

[jo.bee]

Which cost me $14 and came out of eBay funds :P

What sort were they??

[Beadie Am]

Couple of distress ink reinkers and some flowery-stamps for general cardmaking as I don't seem to actually have many like that and I've a 60th b'day I need to do for next week!

[faeryscrapper]

Oooh nice! I'm a nosy soul I am :lol:

[faeryscrapper]

What sort were they??

The rubber sort :lol: I'll pm you a link!

[Beadie Am]

Oooh nice! I'm a nosy soul I am :lol:

The rubber sort :lol: I'll pm you a link!

:lol: Not very forthcoming on your own purchases tho :P What sort of design, etc and so on? :)

[fiona2277]

Fiona a DLO counts as 2 SAD points (you get a point for each 12x12 you do ) this is what i counted for Lynne last month

thanks Andrea

How is every one?? been kite flying again today i think dh is getting a bit of an obsession?? still for the man with no hobbies its got to be a good thing?? as long as it dosnt cost me money!!! scrapping dosnt leave me a lot of spare pocket money:lol:

[coxabey]

evening ladies! I got a couple of those 99p alpha stamps (but they came out of ebay funds so I have been kind of good!). I've also been updating my wishlist on crafty stash - but haven't put anything in the basket.........

Kirsti - if you're around, can you please let me know if you got the punches?

[Beadie Am]

My DH likes kite flying, too - although he went off it a bit when he managed to cut three fingers quite deeply trying to haul it in on a very windy day!

[fiona2277]

oh oww!!! ill let dh know that!!

does anyone know anythig about troll beads or pandora beads??

[Beadie Am]

The only thing I know about troll beads is that a brilliant lampwork artist I know makes beads that fit the chains... which isn't much help, really...

Edited to add: Just checked his website, and he doesn't seem to be making them any more, just "normal" lampwork beads

[fiona2277]

thanks Am, i was wondering if it is troll beads that fit the pandora chain or the other way round??? i want to get a bracelet but dont know which chain to go for??

[faeryscrapper]

:lol: Not very forthcoming on your own purchases tho :P What sort of design, etc and so on? :)

Maybe I'm being cryptic :ph34r: :lol: They were unmounted.....

[Beadie Am]

Maybe I'm being cryptic :ph34r: :lol: They were unmounted.....

Oh well THAT narrows it down :P

Completely unmounted, or pre-EZ mounted?

[faeryscrapper]

Completely unmounted - the company starts with an R :D

[Beadie Am]

I can't think of any offhand starting with an R - although googling has brought up two...!!! More clues, please :)

[faeryscrapper]

:lol: Afraid it's past my bedtime so I must be off ;)

The company name has 2 words :ph34r:

[faeryscrapper]

Failing that, check my blog tomorrow night when I add them to my list of fave places to shop!

[faeryscrapper]

Right, I really am off to bed - should have gone an hour ago :rolleyes: My parents will be here in 14 hours and I still have to clean the bathroom!

Nighty night all :wub:

[fiona2277]

nite Faexx

[Alibri]

Rusty Pickle spring to mind .... :ph34r: I've been bad, too - with very similar things, beginning with BG ..... :lol::rolleyes:

[Alibri]

Can't help with troll beads, or any of those kind of bracelets, as I don't have anything like that ....

[fiona2277]

oh Ali what did you do??? :D

[Beadie Am]

Night Fae!

I forgot Rusty Pickle did stamps :lol:

[Beadie Am]

BG = Basic Grey???

[cw18]

BG = Basic Grey???

Yep :)

[Alibri]

Yup! :ph34r: In my defense, I only had one lot of journalling stamps ... but let me find a link ....

[Alibri]

I ordered these .... http://www.scrapshed.co.uk/catalog/clear-acrylic-stamps-journal-block-p-5390.html

and these .... http://www.scrapshed.co.uk/catalog/clear-acrylic-stamps-journal-flourish-p-5391.html ... tsk tsk ...

[fiona2277]

wont let me see:( still of to bed now nitexx

[cw18]

they've got an extra http// after the http:// we need

but they both go to the same set anyway ;)

[Alibri]

Yes, of course, Cheryl! ;) I fixed the link now - it's been ages since I've done it - but one set is the journal blocks, and the other set is the Journal Flourishes ..... :rolleyes:

[Alibri]

Naughty me! At least that is the last thing crossed off my list for now - apart from full sheets of acrylic, that is - but these things can wait! :)

[cw18]

They're lovely sets -- the flourish one is really pretty, but I know that I'd (personally) never, ever use them :huh:

[Beadie Am]

Night Fiona!

[Beadie Am]

They're both very nice!

[Kirsti]

Tash - Yes thank you Hun, the punches arrived yesterday :) Sorry I didnt let you know before - been a madly busy weekend!

Tomorrow is the day Fae ;)
ETA: actually it's past midnight - so TODAY is the day :lol:

[coxabey]

Kirsti - glad you got the punches (I asked DH to post them so needed to be sure!!)

Ali - those stamps look lovely. I love the idea of them but again, like Cheryl, would probably never use them.....

[jo.bee]

Gorgeous stamps Ali -and I would use them

Troll beads are gorgeous - DH bought me a bracelet for my birthday and I have added a couple of beads to it - will find you a piccy later. Most beads fit on the bracelet. Dolly beads are my fave at the moment.

[faeryscrapper]

Hurrah Kirsti!!!

I love the Flourish journalling stamps - oh and it's not Rusty Pickle :lol:

[jennyap]

Morning girls :D

How is everyone? Lovely stamps Ali - they're definitely on my wishlist.

Had a busy weekend - driving lesson on Saturday morning then my crop for the rest of the day. On Sunday we went shopping for DH's outfit for my brother's wedding. I spent most of my crop and some more time on Sunday working on the exploding box for their wedding, and it's almost finished now - just the lid and the centrepiece to do. I was looking for a cake topper to put in the middle, but they were either too big to fit or too cutesy :(

Then I got out my sewing machine - for the first time ever!! It was inherited from my Grandma, and has moved with me for about the last 8 years, but it didn't have the instruction manual and I didn't even know how to thread it :wacko: I decided recently that I really ought to use it or get rid of it, so I managed to find a US site where you can buy the manuals for just about every machine ever made by the major manufacturers, downloaded it and off I went :) So expect to see sewing on my LOs in future ;)

Got a busy day at work today, and then a work dinner to go to, so won't be around much.

[Tillybud]

Morning girls how are you all ? Hope you allhad a good weekend. Mine just flew by:wacko:

Im going to do some scrapping this morning YIPPEEE:rolleyes:

[Scrapcomber]

Morning everyone, BeadieAm I have pm'd you.

[faeryscrapper]

Well, fingers crossed my parents should be about halfway here - not had any phone calls, yet!

[Tillybud]

Oh missed that Fae where are they coming from ??

[jo.bee]

Washing all out on the line - and DH is threatening to get out in the garden - will be a camera moment cos he doesn't do it often. He was due to havea wisdom tooth out this afternoon but has postponed it so he doesn't look like a hamster when he goes for his interviews later in the week!

[Tillybud]

Tell him good luck with the interview Jo. Fingers crossed :)

I have 2 lots of washing out too.

[jo.bee]

I will do - one of them is for the job he really wants - but if he gets it I think we will have to move.

[Tillybud]

Will you have to move far ??

My DH has just applied for one in Cambridge which will be similar for us although i would rather move abroad than somewhere in this country i think

[faeryscrapper]

Oh missed that Fae where are they coming from ??

Somerset :) Their train - hopefully! - left just before 8am this morning so they should bere about 1pm!

[faeryscrapper]

I will do - one of them is for the job he really wants - but if he gets it I think we will have to move.

Is that the one in Devon?

[jo.bee]

No - he didn't go to the interview for that one in the end - that would have been a move too far! This one is in Aberdeen so could mean a move to the outskirts of the city - somewhere like Ellon.

[suttyscrappers]

Fae..... the blooms i bought with the 30% off offer were from Rebeccas
ETA you need to put the code 'birthday' in at checkout to get the discount

[Tillybud]

How long are they staying for Fae ?

[faeryscrapper]

All week Dawn - luckily they go home a few hours before the cc starts :lol:

[faeryscrapper]

Fae..... the blooms i bought with the 30% off offer were from Rebeccas
ETA you need to put the code 'birthday' in at checkout to get the discount

Ah, I get her monthly bloom kit anyway so stocked up to the gills with them :lol:

[jo.bee]

Will you have to move far ??

My DH has just applied for one in Cambridge which will be similar for us although i would rather move abroad than somewhere in this country i think

I couldn't live there - DH spent 14 months down there and hated it. We are too used to the slow pace of life up here now - would hate to go back to the hustle and bustle of down south.

[Tillybud]

Perfect timing for your parents going then Fae.

Im trying to resist looking at rebeccas stuff so im not tempted. Its very difficult though :)

[faeryscrapper]

I do my best not to look either - never works though :lol:

[Tillybud]

Right im off to do some of the dreaded H word. See you all later :)

[Scrapcomber]

All week Dawn - luckily they go home a few hours before the cc starts :lol:

Well planned I say, what are you going to do while they are with you?

Right im off to do some of the dreaded H word. See you all later :)

So must I, the dreaded ironing. :(

[Kirsti]

psst, Fae.........they are here!!! :D in my hands right now :D mmm, wonder if I can get the afternoon off!! ;)

[fiona2277]

is that your new stamps Kirsti?? do you have a headache you need to go home with????:D

[faeryscrapper]

Well planned I say, what are you going to do while they are with you?

Not sure Lynne - tomorrow is shopping day (yay!) and Wednesday my cousin Celia and my great-uncle are coming up from Leeds for our usual get-together. I was thinking maybe on Thursday about going to Harrogate (and Art from the Heart - no ulterior motive at all :lol: ) but will see how they feel.

[faeryscrapper]

psst, Fae.........they are here!!! :D in my hands right now :D mmm, wonder if I can get the afternoon off!! ;)

OMG, OMG, OMG - I think I'm hyperventilating :lol:

[Kirsti]

is that your new stamps Kirsti?? do you have a headache you need to go home with????:D

I think so Fiona ;) Definitely feeling a bit giddy!!

[faeryscrapper]

I have a headache - I can send it to you Kirsti :lol:

[faeryscrapper]

Well, according to the train timetable Mum & Dad should have got off the train 25 minutes ago - but I've not heard from them :rolleyes:

Better go and finish off the bathroom :lol:

[fiona2277]

hope they havent been delayed Fae??

[faeryscrapper]

Still no parents :rolleyes:

[Scrapcomber]

Not sure Lynne.. I was thinking maybe on Thursday about going to Harrogate (and Art from the Heart - no ulterior motive at all :lol: ) but will see how they feel.

:lol: good plan there I see, they can always have a coffee in a cafe ;)



I think so Fiona ;) Definitely feeling a bit giddy!!


:lol:

[Scrapcomber]

Forgot to say, some ironing done, DH's shirts for the week, now I am scrapping and putting my feet up. :)

[fiona2277]

ive made 1 card and popped to the po so not a bad day??/

[cw18]

Probably a bit late for today Kirsti, but if you want an excuse to stay home tomorrow you can have my toothache! It's the one that had root canal work in November too :blink: Didn't sleep to well last night, and I suspect this was the main culprit... don't know how long it's been twinging though, 'cos I've taken pain meds for my back most days since I went back to work ;) Haven't taken any since about 3am Saturday though, so I can feel everything now :(

Going to get off bus next stop to normal and bob into dentist. Should be due check-up next month anyway but haven't had an appt through yet - and I need it before end June else I have to pay :rolleyes:

[faeryscrapper]

Well, they made it - and my curtains are up now :lol:

[jo.bee]

Good old mum and dad!!

[faeryscrapper]

I know! I was nice and let them have a cup of tea first :lol:

[BernieTuffs]

eveing!
just popping in to say hello!!!

bernie X

[Scrapcomber]

:lol: Fae

Waves Bernie, fairly quiet on here today.

[Tillybud]

Evening girls
Glad your parents arrived ok Fae :)
Hows everyone else ?

[faeryscrapper]

Well, Mum and Dad have pootled off into York to have dinner so I think I might sneak in my room for a bit - or alternatively, sit here :rolleyes:

Hi Bernie!

[Tillybud]

Oohhh i love York its such a pretty place

[faeryscrapper]

I know - I love living here :) Going out tomorrow and doing the touristy thing!

[Tillybud]

Have a good day. At least its forecast nice weather again

[faeryscrapper]

It's glorious here now - gorgeous sunshine!

Think I've managed to persuade Mum to take me to Freddies as well ;)

[Tillybud]

Freddies ?????

[faeryscrapper]

Fat Freddies - sponsor on here, only craft shop in the York area :wacko:

[coxabey]

No - he didn't go to the interview for that one in the end - that would have been a move too far! This one is in Aberdeen so could mean a move to the outskirts of the city - somewhere like Ellon.

Jo, you won't believe this - my Mum was born in Ellon!!!!

Kirsti - are you playing with your stamps yet?? Can we have a piccy please so we can all drool??

[suttyscrappers]

hi girls
Glad your mum and dad arrived safely Fae
Ive actually managed a LO today (well a scraplift!) so need to upload that along with several others.
Im sneaking on here whilst DH baths the boys as hes told me off for being on the pc too much. He says hes caught me screwing my eyes up a lot lately and they do feel very tired. I may have some eyestrain and its time for an eyetest soon so ive dug out my glasses to see if that helps (im borderline on needing to wear specs full time but tend to get by without them)

[Kirsti]

Probably a bit late for today Kirsti, but if you want an excuse to stay home tomorrow you can have my toothache!

Aww, thanks for the offer Cheryl :lol: but at the moment the only excuse good enough to be off work would be that I was dead!!
((hugs)) for the toothache tho, hope it has eased off for you by now :wub:

Well, they made it - and my curtains are up now :lol:
I know! I was nice and let them have a cup of tea first :lol:

:lol: very kind of you Fae!

[Kirsti]

Kirsti - are you playing with your stamps yet?? Can we have a piccy please so we can all drool??

I will be very soon Tash.....just got in from work - slightly delayed on the train due to a mum leaving her child on the train in front of mine :wacko: and station staff having to arrange to get the child back to the previous station to meet up with mum :wacko: no idea how young the child was!! DH gone off to his night shift a little miffed 'cos I was a bit late & texted him rather than phoning!

Just catching up with a couple of threads on here & friends on Facebook - checking DS is fed and happy to play then its playtime for me :D

[coxabey]

im borderline on needing to wear specs full time but tend to get by without them

if it's any consolation I have to wear mine full time because even though I can see well for close up stuff, I can't even see the front door clearly from the kitchen.........

sob sob, my best friend is moving back to New Zealand in two months time - don't know what I'll do without her.....still she's sent me some really nice piccies of her and I'm going to do an 8x8 canvas of her and I'm even going to try doing some mixed media stuff!!! And of course, i can do an LO of her to cheer me up when she's gone

[coxabey]

a mum leaving her child on the train in front of mine :wacko: and station staff having to arrange to get the child back to the previous station to meet up with mum

OMG :blink: :blink: what on earth??? Imagine how that poor wee thing must have felt! How scary....sounds like the railway staff were fantastic though!

[Kirsti]

I can't even see the front door clearly from the kitchen.........



And I cant even see past the end of my nose! Literally!

Right, off to play.........see you later :D

[coxabey]

have fun! off to have some dinner, then I'll see if I have the energy to finish printing the inner pages for my cc planner (only managed to print out two on Sunday!)

[Tillybud]

I went in my craft room just new but drew a complete blank. My mojo has left the building :(

[cw18]

((hugs)) for the toothache tho, hope it has eased off for you by now :wub:
Not really..... but I called in the dentist on the way home expecting an appt in 2 weeks at the earliest, and have come out with one for 4:30pm on Wednesday !! I assume they must have had a cancellation :unsure:

[suttyscrappers]

im off for an early night as dH is huffing and puffing at me again. 'see' you all tomorrow.

[Tillybud]

Night Andrea :)

[jo.bee]

Jo, you won't believe this - my Mum was born in Ellon!!!!



I bet its not like she remembers it - every building company and its dog are building there at the moment - the town has grown a lot.

[coxabey]

I bet its not like she remembers it - every building company and its dog are building there at the moment - the town has grown a lot.

well, she was born in Ellon (according to her birth certificate!) but her parents lived in Peterhead at the time - Grandad was in the New Zealand Air Force and was billetted in Peterhead Prison (:lol:) - Mum & Grandma ended up travelling back to New Zealand on a chartered ocean liner with the other war brides when she was six months old........!

[jo.bee]

Paterhead is a right dump now - has a big drugs problem. And Peterhead prison is full of some of the worst sex offenders in the UK - nice!!

[faeryscrapper]

My Mum went to school in Peterhead in the late 1940's :wacko:

[jo.bee]

One of my best friends is from Peterhead and she says she will never move back there.

Trying to do the weekly challenge but not getting very far.

[coxabey]

There's only a few members of my Grandmother's family left in Peterhead now - one of her sisters and one of her twin brothers (all that's left out of a family of 5 kids). I haven't been to Peterhead since the early 90s, but my parents went last year and came back rather depressed.......

[jo.bee]

Dh said did I want to have a look around there the other weekend as we drove past - but my friend has always painted a very bleak picture of the place so I declined. My neighbour has just bought a house there - you can get a 4 bedroomed house there for about £175K.

[Happy Hazel]

i went to Peterhead as OH wanted to see the fishing boats that was in the t.v. series the trawlermen

hazel

[jo.bee]

I have another friend who went to school with one of the skippers from that programme. Must admit the boats in Fraserburgh harbour were impressive.

[Happy Hazel]

they do look impressive and we saw seals in the harbour as well

hazel

[fiona2277]

right off to bed DH seems to be in a huff with me no idea what ive done wrong this time:rolleyes: but hes gone to bed without a word!! proberly got totm hormones poor lad hehe

[Beadie Am]

I've just made the starts of a wobble/pop card thingy - the first attempt went somewhat wrong and ended up with an elongated diamond rather than the square shape! Think I will have a celebratory mug of horlicks then turn in

[jo.bee]

Morning everyone.

[Tillybud]

Morning all how are you today ?
Lovely sunny day here and im taking mum into town so have a good day and see you all later xx

[jo.bee]

Off to take the boys to school -BBL.

[faeryscrapper]

Morning!

Nice and sunny here too :) Off into town about 10.30 to go shopping!

[cw18]

Morning all :)

Have just phoned work to take today off as holiday. I'm feeling a bit shakey and back achey -- not quite bad enough to phone in sick, but bad enough that I think going in today would leave me incapable of getting in tomorrow and possibly Thursday. And as I'm currently not entitled to paid sick it's "cheaper" to take 1 day holiday than 2 days sick ;)

Going to try moving some of my stash around today as when my back is starting to play up it's a case of staying mobile (one reason going to work -- desk job -- isn't a good idea), so hopefully I'll have a bit of space to scrap in come the CC at the weekend :rolleyes:

[suttyscrappers]

Morning Cheryl. sorry your not feeling too good...but good choice of work plan.
You have all got to pretend im not here or im invisible today as i promised DH that i would stay off the PC to give my eyes a rest. Im supposed to be cleaning my scraproom and/or attempting my MK as i STILL havent attempted it yet as a) the kit is crap/uninspiring, and b) the theme i was planning to do to fit in with the 'drama' theme is no futher along in the 'completion' stage.
i know im talking cryptically but i guess we are not allowed to divulge about our MK LO's but i guess all of you will know what 'drama' im referring too!!

[joanold]

Good morning everyone. I've had a lovely relaxing time away, but it's great to back to my own bed and bathroom.

First of all, many, many thanks for all of you that voted for me in the Fave LO comp. It was a lovely surprise to find out I'd won. I feel like I've won an Oscar, so I must thank my Mum, my Dad, my agent, my next-door neighbour's dog, etc etc, but most of all my darling daughter for producing such a pretty little grandaughter for me to photograph!:lol:

Kirstie, how are the little people settling in? Hope they're looking forward to a visit to Paradise this weekend. I know I am. I'm going to spend today getting photos ready. I can't find the set I want to take for the album which is very annoying!

[fiona2277]

morning all, im trying to do some paper work but keep thinking of ideas for lo's!! think ill give up and scrap in a bit!!

[cw18]

........ so I must thank my Mum, my Dad, my agent, my next-door neighbour's dog, etc etc, but most of all my darling daughter for producing such a pretty little grandaughter for me to photograph!:lol:

:lol: love it :wub:


I'm hoping to do a PO trip this afternoon (DS1's road tax disc arrived this morning -- he did it on line to save us both playing "hunt the MOT", but the car is registered at our address -- so I need to send it off to him along with a few other bits that have come in the last 2 weeks), so will hopefully get your goodies on the way to you then as well :)

[jo.bee]

Fiished this weeks challenge - another one I'm not really sure if I like or not.

Giddy Up (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=158055&nocache=1)

[jennyap]

Morning all :) I'm feeling a bit *delicate* today - big work dinner last night! It's hard to tell how much you drink as they keep topping up the glasses, but it must have been at least 2 each of champagne, white wine, red wine and port :wacko: Speeches didn't finish until 10.30, and as it took me 40 minutes to get to the station, by the time I could actually get out (thank the host, collect bits from cloakroom etc) I didn't make the 11.11pm train, so I got in at about half-past midnight. Not really a good way to start the week :lol:

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well Cheryl. Speaking of the PO, have you had a delivery from me?

[Scrapcomber]

I will be back on later after I have caught up with all my e-mails, but I have made a banana nut loaf this morning ready for my workshop tonight :)

[fiona2277]

right given up on the paperwork going to play for a bit

[Suky]

Morning all, lovely day here too. Wise move, Cheryl, staying at home. An of course the 'gentle' exercise in your scrap room is totally theraputic :D
I got up early, got washing on, cleaned kitchen and hoovered downstairs. Went into town to do some banking, bought some greyboard for some book covers and some pretty paper to cover them with, bought some new jamas for the CC, took a lovely walk by the river and took some photos of the ducks. Am now home, sitting here with a lovely coffee and realised that the cheques to be banked are still in my handbag. Oh Bu**er, now I'll have to go out again.

[cw18]

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well Cheryl. Speaking of the PO, have you had a delivery from me?

Yes thanks :wub: and one from someone else (not a SAD member) I need to post something back to today!!

Hubby gave them me just under an hour ago as I was heading out for the bus (to get the paper and DVD from Tesco), commenting that one came on Thursday, and the other "since then"!! He normally leaves post in one of 2 places, but these were tucked away in another spot I'll now have to keep my eyes on :wacko:


Definitely wouldn't have managed the bus to/from work today. Only did a 3-4 mile round trip, and I'm all knotted up!! But I'd counted the calendar this morning, and have confirmation as to why I've got my flare up.... which means it's likely to get worse this afternoon (even with meds) before it improves -- but should almost certainly be settled again for work tomorrow :)

[jennyap]

Thanks heavens for that - was getting worried my post had disappeared into the black hole again :mellow: Mine would be the "since then" as it was sent on Friday I think.

[Scrapcomber]

Sounds as though you are making the most of your day off Cheryl, I am off to get some lunch before I get my lift to the physio at 1pm so I will see you all later. :)

[fiona2277]

im starting shimells class looks good

[jo.bee]

I'm doing that class too - but not started yet.

[Kirsti]

Ladies with Cuttlebugs............I need some advice..........

1. How much do you use your cuttlebug, and is there a way of using the embossing folders without the machine (think I heard someone uses a rolling pin!?!?)

2. How big and how heavy is the boxed machine (is it unrealistic to ask a friend to bring back from holiday) ?

[jo.bee]

I don't have one but was surprised how heavy it was.

[Alibri]

I've got the Big Shot Kirsty, and use the embossing folders in mine .... Hi everyone - had an early night last night as I was whacked! Sorry to hear you're not feeling great, Cheryl - hope you're fine for work tomorrow.

Isn't it interesting, Andrea - I found my DQ mystery kit totally inspiring, and I have done a double layout with it, and am really pleased! Right, must crack on now - work calls. Take care, all!

[Suky]

im starting shimells class looks good

I'm doing that class too - but not started yet.

I decided to go with the 'own stash' option and made the covers 7 X 12 inches. 15" was just too big. Will use BIA to put together. Love Shimelles classes since I did the Album in a day at Paperarts last year. Trying to decide wether to buy a journalling stamp for it or doing journalling blocks on the pc and printing them out. The only stamp I have is way too small.

I bought the embossing folders and use them in my Szzix, I should use an adapter in it, but I managed to find a paperback book that works just as well for the time being :lol:

I'm using my own stash - not sure if I have enough sheets of card the same colour for the pages - think I have a 12x12 sheet of chipboard somewhere. Think I'm going to do 6x12 too - just not sure how coordinated to make it look - quite fancy an eclectic look!! But will probab;y just look as though I haven't thought about it at all!! Going to make a start later.

[fiona2277]

i have used 6x12 and got 4 months done just waiting on an order to finish the others i used a half page map as a guide then fiddled with it for each page so it dosnt look to uniform have left room for journalling and up to 2 3x3 photos per page so 4 photos per month if i need it

Very unrealistic - I can't actually lift mine :wacko: And yes, you can use a rolling pin - just make sure you have a mouse mat (or something similar) underneath!

[faeryscrapper]

im starting shimells class looks good

I'm doing that class too - but not started yet.

I'm doing it too - and I have the kit :lol:

[Suky]

Lynne, Shimelle's class is here (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/boards/showthread.php?t=218811). Kits are all gone but you can do it with your own stash. There is a PDF to print out too.

:P blowing raspberries to Fae. This is the SAD thread you know :rolleyes: (can't find a smilie with a halo :D)

[faeryscrapper]

Every cc the only kit I've bought is a Shimelle one so I couldn't break with tradition could I? :lol:

[Suky]

No, I quite understand :D There are some traditions we have to adhere to, like when visiting a craft shop it would be rude not to buy something :D

[suttyscrappers]

I have a HUUUUUGE confession to make......








but your all gonna have to wait til i get back from the little girls room!!!

[cw18]

not back yet Andrea?

come on -- TELL !!!

[suttyscrappers]

sorry...i got diverted by my mum on the phone gushing about her new caravan...


anyway






i dont know if this could be classed as a stash spend or if it should be included in my rules.....but





i have just booked myself onto...and paid for...SCRAPAGANZA (the stratford one, in June)

[suttyscrappers]

and im really REALLY excited!!!

[faeryscrapper]

Oh wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's fab!

[cw18]

WOW! Lucky you !!!

That's not a stash buy.... that's a holiday :wub:

But anything you buy while you're there is up for confessions :lol:



I bought another QK alphabet today

[faeryscrapper]

No, I quite understand :D There are some traditions we have to adhere to, like when visiting a craft shop it would be rude not to buy something :D

Well, you'd be proud of me today - I went straight past the stamp shop without even stopping :D

[fiona2277]

ohohohohohoh!!! green monster appering here!! i would love to go to that you are sooo lucky!!!!

[fiona2277]

naughty Cheryl:D

[cw18]

naughty Cheryl:D

Moi :unsure:

I'm an angel http://mail.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/tsmileys2/21.gif

[fiona2277]

wait whats that i see oh its a flying pig!!!:lol::lol:

[fiona2277]

funky kits have the stamps that were in the challange kits available again not as kits but on there own am i making sense??? lolas tae party and teddy two and penelopie

just thought you might like to know!!

[suttyscrappers]

i saw that too cheryl!!

DH told me to quit talking about them all and do one. I was booked onto lipstick, but this is half the cost AND has 'celebrity' teachers.

I wish someone i knew was going tho as i need a room mate, so i hope they are a friendly bunch or im going to be a billy no mates!

[fiona2277]

i would offer my servaces as a room buddy Andrea but its exams that month:(

[fiona2277]

with the shimelle class can we count it as SAD points? and if so how? im doing mine in 6x12 with 2 sides to a month so each month is a 12x12 soooo can i count each month as a point?? are you getting this coz i think i confused myself:D

[Kirsti]

Very unrealistic - I can't actually lift mine :wacko: And yes, you can use a rolling pin - just make sure you have a mouse mat (or something similar) underneath!
Oh! Its bigger than I thought then! Ah well, you have saved me a purchase (for the time being ;) ) I may get a couple of embossing folders & put my long redundant rolling pin to some use :D

Well, you'd be proud of me today - I went straight past the stamp shop without even stopping :D

Are you feeling OK Fae?? :wacko: *runs and hides*

*but then remembers I have her "little people" staying at my house at the moment so she can't hit me!!*

[faeryscrapper]

I have sent you ransom money :lol:

And I'm going back to the stamp shop on Thursday!

[faeryscrapper]

I can't lift my Bug because I'm feeble but it is really heavy - just off to stick it on the scales :wacko:

[cw18]

i saw that too cheryl!!
doh! well it IS one I've wanted for over 2 years. checked out a couple of UK sites (including sponsors) and the best price is around £80+postage, despite the QK site having it listed for $60 :wacko: Have got it from the US for around £38 including postage -- so just need to wait and see if I get hit for import now :ph34r:

DH told me to quit talking about them all and do one. I was booked onto lipstick, but this is half the cost AND has 'celebrity' teachers.

I wish someone i knew was going tho as i need a room mate, so i hope they are a friendly bunch or im going to be a billy no mates!
Would love to go, but with things the way they are with me and DH I couldn't even book into the local one Rosemary Merry is doing later this year -- and I could have done it as a 'day candidate' to save some pennies too -- as I don't know where either of us will be health wise.

And this one is a bit soon for me even without those issues -- would mean no possibility of finding the money to kit out my craft room, and I'd rather do that as it's more long term :)

[Kirsti]

I have sent you ransom money :lol:


:D Thanks Hunny, Will release the hostages as soon as it arrives ;)

[faeryscrapper]

Right, either my scales are dodgy or I'm more feeble than I realised - without the box and all the cutting plates the Bug weighs just over 4.5kg!

[cw18]

the plates probably add quite a bit to it. I had a Cuttlebug in one hand my BS in the other (both with plates) at a crop -- just out of interest to compare them -- and there didn't seem to be much difference at all.

wanders off to try weighing my BS.......

[faeryscrapper]

:D Thanks Hunny, Will release the hostages as soon as it arrives ;)

Ooooh, I hope it gets there before you go away :o

[cw18]

Big Shot :
machine only = 3.429kg
with Multi-Purpose platform and 2 clear cutting plates = 4.183kg

[faeryscrapper]

I'm off to hide in my room for a bit - H is in a horrible mood and not very nice just now :(

[Kirsti]

(((hugs))) Fae, go and play with your expression!!

[fiona2277]

well its quiet on here tonight

[cw18]

is playing with my craft room layout again!! trying to decide if I can "afford" to give up some cupboard space to gain a second desk area. it would give me one for laptop/printer/craft robo and one for crafting, instead of having to move my laptop out of the way when I want to craft -- and to the other end of the room when I want to print or use the CR. Would also save me £93 (around £73.50 after discount).

but either of these layouts will (if I understood the woman right on Friday) mean custom made worksurfaces (one is longer than the longest they carry as 'standard', even before I raise the issue of needing a joint put in to get my 'L'-shape -- both of which will increase the cost again) and have a 3-4 month delivery. But the cabinets would still be here in 3-4 weeks :blink:

[fiona2277]

ummm?? tricky discision??

[Beadie Am]

Um, right, I'm going to have to change my rules. I needed a happy birthday stamp (was sure I had one - and I do, but it's vertical, which is no use), and two more stamps fell in my basket.

Which I have just been trying to get to stick to the wrong side of ez mount for the last 5 minutes...

[fiona2277]

and why does that need you to change your rules?

[cw18]

Which I have just been trying to get to stick to the wrong side of ez mount for the last 5 minutes...

:lol:

[fiona2277]

ive just uploaded 3 los to the lo thread and ajusted my points coz stoopid me forgot you get double points for uploaded lo's doh!!

[Beadie Am]

Tricky decision, Cheryl. I'd initially be tempted to go for the quickest option - but being able to leave the laptop etc out does sound like a good idea

[Kirsti]

Joan, my little people are definitely looking forward to paradise ;) in fact they may be going to work with me tomorrow just so they dont get left behind on Friday!

[cw18]

We're about to ROLLLLLLLLLLL
