...like cutting a ribbon too short...knowing it will come in handy on another card...but still being peed off!!!

hahahahaha... we are getting in the festive mood... I love your new names - peachycrimbo / Mrsfrostgetful

talking of ribbons...i've bought over 100 meteres of different festive ribbons...in 4 different shops...over the past week!!!

Blimey- that's a lot of ribbon. A LOT of ribbon!

did you get my details?

Jayz- when do we get the details of our partners? Need to do an order from an art site, so thought I mat as well do it all at once (unless of course I get someone who'd be happy with docrafts and papermania in which case the ONE proper art shop near here will suffice. I did find a lovely shop a few weeks ago that does for example single die cuts / embellishments, but not an awful lot of the useful stuf!!!! (She does do art classes that Sam is loving though on a Saturday).

You wouldn't BELIEVE how hard it is to find quilling stuff here though. Had to buy on ebay. Just none in Newport / Cwmbran from what I can see.

Thanks peachy....got yours now....didnt arrive first time...I checked just incase I missed it and I hadnt????

Well, my BT Yahoo e-mail just doesn't like you!!! The Uni one doesn't mind though, so i shall stick to that one for now.

So- who are we buying for Jayz? Got my Christmas shopping hat on today

I'll send emails out later on today with your swoppers likes and dislikes.I still havent had emails from some of you... so will chase you up. If I dont hear back from you then I take it you will be happy to receive anything??????

Thank you? (sorry if being puxhy, was in incredibly monotonous psychology lecture- anything better than that IYSWIM!)

Im feeling a bit poo...emails will go out tomorrow. Sorry if its a pain but Im going back to bed to try and rest.

j- HOPE U R FEELING BETTER...i have decided NOT to take part...

JM... hope the 'poo' feeling goes away and you feel brighter soon.

Emails have been sent...still feel poo..but cant get comfy

JM, get better soon

Thanks for email- just checking (even though I think I know the answer to this)-are we meant to keep our identity a secret? How far should I travel to avoid postcode detection? ;)

Its better if we can keep it a secret for a while.

Don't mind typing an address to cover my handwriting but not tdriving to Scotland to cover it up!

Hope you're feeling a little better Jayz.
