[Kat]

Mmmmh... may bring some Stollen with me that crop.... always make too much... ^_^

[Helliebabes]

oh god stollen!!! HOMEMADE stollen!! Yummy :D
My SIL has just got back from Germany.she brought stollen back for me! Yay!!

I comletely forgot you are German Kat!! :lol: :D

[Kat]

:lol: Helen ... so my "infiltration" in the Scottish Nation works then, eh??? ^_^

[Helliebabes]

yeah....only had to mention stollen,(and staffordshire oatcakes!!!)to be my friend!!
Just scoffed about 3 slices of the one SIL brought back from...i think it was Hanover.
Well anyway she was in Germany! lol

Lovely jubbly!!

[sharonfruit]

Kat - you must bring some stollen! I'm hoping to make some Yule log too :)

Hmmm, we should just call ourselves the "cake crop" :lol:

Sharon xx

[izzy]

I LOVE stollen! :lol: Still hoping to make it but not definite yet. II need to get past this weekend at Ingliston before I cna think aobut the 17th! :rolleyes:

[Kat]

Izzy,

when will you be at Ingliston??? :) Think we have 2 (?) delegations coming - one each day (believe Heather, Faith, Joanne etc will go Sunday and Sharon, Sharon's Mum, Elaine and I will go Saturday).

[izzy]

At the moment I am there for all three days!! Was trying to arrange just Friday and Sunday but so far, I have been told I am needed!! (I am such a soft toudh!)

[sharonfruit]

I think Heather's going on Friday, Kat!

You've got to be there on Saturday, Izzy! Just so you can sneak us freebies :lol:

Sharon xx

[izzy]

Sharon! :rolleyes: Just remember that us lesser mortals who are working also need a coffee or a loo break and you can offer to fetch coffee or cover while I go to the loo - I am not proud!! :P

[sharonfruit]

I'd happily fetch you a coffee, Izzy! I don't know about this cover while you go to the loo thing - does that mean holding up a coat to protect your modesty? ;)

Sharon xx

[izzy]

:wub: Actually, all i meant was I might need to leave to go to the ladies - I certainly wasnt going to use a bucket at the side of the stall!! :blink:

I dont think the world is ready for that sight yet! :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[sharonfruit]

:lol:

Which stall are you working on, Izzy?

Sharon xx

[izzy]

Flawless Designs from Stirling. My friend is Angela Flaws

[sharonfruit]

Cool! I'm not familiar with them - I'll be sure and look out for you on Saturday :)

Sharon xx

[Clay 36]

Joanne and I are definitely going on Friday gals. Izzy, :stop: keeping us in suspenders Mrs - who are you working for. :P

[izzy]

I dont think you will be able to miss us cos the stall is HUGE -about 20 metres long! :o Also, we are wearing red aprons with the name on it so we should stand out! some of the girls MIGHT be wearing the odd white apron but I am not allowed to wear white cos I am a slitter!! :blink:

Because Angela was the Scottish retailer of the year lfor 2005, she has been asked to do some demonstrations but I havent been into the shop this week, so I dont know what she is doing yet!

Hope to see you both Heather! :)

[Helliebabes]

hi all....everything seems so quiet!
I know there has been bother etc etc.... just worried thats all!
Is the crop still a goer?
Nobody is talking and i feel out of the loop.

well hopefully i'll hear from you all at some stage.It's just spookily quiet.
Will be brining my SS pressie on the 17th.
Not sure if i can make the full day this time.....will let you know nearer the date.

[Heather]

Hi Helen. I'm here, and will be there on Saturday. :)

[Kat]

Helen,

still here - just had tons to do the last 2 weeks ..... :o

As far as I am aware the crop is still on - just the runner up to Christmas and a couple of stones life threw into personal lives ...

Looking forward to seeing you all this Saturday ... off to write my Xmas cards for USA and Europe now... ^_^

[sharonfruit]

Of course the crop is still on :lol: It's going to be a good one too :D

It's just the pre-Christmas madness that's keeping me from posting as much!

Sharon xx

[Helliebabes]

phew!
just got a bit panicked cos no one was posting! :rolleyes:
Trying to see if SIL will babysit so i can come to the crop.
DH has lost track of the days with it being Dec n'all.

Looking forward to seeing you all. :D

[Heather]

Helen - I've just noticed you've changed your user name. When I saw "Helliebabes" posting elsewhere I thought the avatar was familiar but didn't recognise the name. :D

[Helliebabes]

oopppps! sorry for the confussion Heather.... :rolleyes:
forgot to tell all you peeps at the crop!
sorry!!! :)

i changed it just over a week ago......too many helens about! :D
looks like i will be there only for an hour or so.Depending on generosity of SIL,who is now babysitting on the sat morn.
Bribery may be needed between now and Sat! :lol:

c u on saturday :D

[sharonfruit]

Morning!

I noticed you'd changed your username too, Helen! Too many Helen's about but only one YOU ;) I don't think we'd mistake you for anyone else :)

I hope you can manage to organise something for Saturday. As long as you have time for cake and a natter, we can't complain though :lol:

Looking forward to seeing you all :D

Sharon xx

[Helliebabes]

will be there.SIL is babysitting today.But will have to leave early as she has something already planned for early afternoon.

looking forward to seeing you all!
Kat will bring my SS pressie along too.

[Kat]

whoohooo, Helen! That's fab that you got a babysitter!!!

Looking forward to see you later - off to have a shower now... ^_^

[Heather]

Sorry I missed you, Helen. Nice to see the rest of you happy scrappers, and partake of some festive gluhwein. :)

[Helliebabes]

Sorry that i never saw you too Heather! :(

I was a bit pissed off with SIL for telling me she couldn't babysit for more than 2 hours! <_<
I got home to find she had let owen run riot....and the house was a mess. :blink:
I made dinner after she went and it looked like all she had fed him was junk. :angry: He wolfed down his dinner!

If i ever say i feel sorry for her or mention that i'm doing her a favour....give a swift kick up the backside! :lol:
Sorry...rant over! :D
I was sooooo looking forward to a good gossip and some scrapping today! :blink:

Never mind...DH has promised me he is taking a holiday the week of the January crop...so i'll be there from start to finish! Or there'll be hell to pay! :lol:

Nice to catch up wth you.Sorry Isabel,it wasn't personal about me not staying both times i've seen you!I hope you will be there next month!?

toodles for now

xx

[izzy]

Helen - I would make dh sign his promis in blood! :lol: :lol:

No offence taken by the way - I heard what you said about sil wanting you back ;) pity she couldnt have let you have a little longer! Hope you get to stay the whole crop next month and enjoy!! :)

just as well I followed Heathers advice about stations - took a taxi to Waverly and got on and got a seat - if i had gone to Haymarket as i planned I would have had to stand for AGES! :blink:

[Kat]

Hello everyone - had a FAB time yesterday, even though I didn't get my first entry in my Christmas Journal done - my own fault, that "border" is just too fiddly!! ^_^

Delish food, good Gluehwein, great atmosphere, super Secret Santa.... LUVELY!!!

And it was great to see you lovely ladies again...

Not sure if I can attend next month's crop - totally forgot that it may clash with surgery recovery on 17th January!!! :o

Off to clean house and then do some more scrapping...

[Elfin]

Thank you to my not so secret Santa Lisa for all the gorgeous presents. I have your present here at the hotel if you want to pick it up at any time :)

[sharonfruit]

Our January chat thread is here! (http://www.ukscrappers.com/boards/showthread.php?p=1523634#post1523634)

I just want to take this opportunity to thank you all for helping the crop be the success that it is :) I'm really pleased with the way the crop has grown over the months since we first started. Now, we've got 2006 to look forward to and lots more fun :D

Sharon xx

[Clay 36]

Thanks again Kat for all our lovely pressies. Faith now has a "speshul" bar of chocolate after dopey put it in her jeans' pocket to stop me getting it - needless to say some of the bubbles were a bit mashed! :lol:
