did you start your cards y'day poppies?

i keep on meaning to make more time for crafting but can't do it till the children are in bed or they want to "help" and when i do manage to find time i keep on going until the small hours

hunkermunker · 15/08/2006 16:04

I need to do this too. I have another stall next week and [wtf am I doing to myself]

UCM · 15/08/2006 16:17

Hunker, how many have you done now & how is that going?

hunkermunker · 15/08/2006 17:09

Need motivating!

Would this link help you?

UCM · 16/08/2006 19:52

No of Christmas cards produced = 0
No of hours out at lunch/shopping provided by very good mates = all day!!

Oh well tomorrow is another day. Hope someone else fared better than me

Well - please don't fall off your chairs- but I have start XMAS!!!!

I haven't actually made any cards but I have been cutting a few dies and I have made several xmas toppers! A couple I have sold on Ebay!! as at long last I have set myself up a selling account.

Made another 6 toppers yesterday and having great fun! I suppose its such a release from the LEA problems!

For your xmas cards try MadAboutCards for all your embellishments, papers, peel offs, toppers amd a whole lot of other things! BE PREPARED!! I usually spend a fortune with them but they do normally have next day courier delivery for online orders....

poppiesinaline · 20/08/2006 19:14

MadaboutCards is my favourite and most used craft supplier!! Its a bit like Ikea though... a little here and little there and before you know it you have spent an absolute fortune!!!

I've not even thought about Xmas yet. I still have some cards that I made last year though. I have been very lax in crafty stuff lately too. I think once you stop then it's very hard to get back into again.
I have loads of ideas from my hols but no huge desire to get all my stuff out & actually make anything !
