Daily Chit Chat

Pam, I feel exhausted just listening to your busy week. Hope you can get time to sort your photos.

We were out last night at my Mum and Dad's, with my sisters and hubbys for a lovely evening. My mum had bought a piece of beef rib about the size of a cow but it was yummy.

I can't remember how much I paid, I got one for lou. If you ask Lou how much it was, I can always get one for you and post it on, I think postage was about £1 something, I honestly cannot remember, let me know what you think.

I need to set up pay pal, I have an account but only pay with my card through it, how do you receive a payment?

You receive payments by invoicing people through PayPal which has a tab at the top of the page for you to click on and follow instructions or you give people the email address tied to the apple account and they use send to. If there is money in your account it will use that first when paying but if no funds available then it will still charge your credit card attached to the paypal account.

afternoon peeps!!! how is everybody?
i haver have had a super busy week, love scheduled posting for my blog though as it kept ticking over nicely!! bit of a weekend break now!!
I did a fab course yesterday with 2 ladies from reggio emilia, wow it was fab.
well i have spent the morning tidying my craft desk, uegh, not fun! found my invoice from carol though for my ATG so thats a bonus because I can send her some pennies now!!! lol!!!
My invoive says £5.62 for the adaptor and its fab, i have already used up 1 roll of my tape but i had oodles of bits and bobs to get done so thats why it went so quick!!!
I think postage was £1.30 carol but I didnt keep my envelope to check for sure
I am looking forward to my crikits pens coming I won from en's blog candy, i think they will come in around 2 weeks so i am stalking the posty incase!!!
me and mo are just going to sit down and watch beverly hills chihuahua, weather is poop here today! i need to see sunshine!!!
i have some DT bits and bobs to do tonight but after cleaning my desk up i don't actually fancy going out there yet!!!!!!
right off to get a cuppa and snuggle!!
hugs lou xxxx

Hi Lou, glad it worked ok for you, if anybody needs the adaptor maybe I could get bulk and make it cheeper, I think you have to buy 10 or more though, I could buy bulk in the 6mm tape and let everybody know how much it breaks down to including postage. Nice to be able to help out each other.

Morning everyone

I have some American Crafts US sized card stock 8 1/2" x 11". I would love to make some US sized cards 4 1/4" x 5 1/2", but does anyone know where I might be able to get the envelopes from?

Nope but you could make them!

Thanks Liz, not sure I fancy making over 100 envelopes.

I will look this afternoon at an envelope supplier I have for business and see if they do them but got to take kids to court this morning for them to have their awards granted.

Kerry try

http://www.yorkshireenvelopes.co.uk/

I have had loads of envelopes from this company, if they have any that are cut slightly wrong or the wrong colour they will save them for you free of charge.

I contacted Sarah, I am sure she would be only too pleased to help you, if you mention Carol from Keighley (I did say I would let my friends know of them).

Thanks Carol, I've just sent an email.

Hi everyone it's really miserable here today, It keeps on raining off and on.
I have not stopped all day, scrubbing the bathroom, cleaning the bedrooms and I have also been sorting my make-up draw and thrown a carrier bag full of lip sticks, mascara, nail varnish, fake tan ect. I didnt no there was so much rubbish in there. Had to stop when my parcel arrived with all my new cartridges, it feels like Christmas all over again (OMG I just said the Christmas word and it's only Feb) and how lucky am I ............. No duty to pay, I can not believe it I always have to pay something.
Josh has not long got in with 5 of his mates, he has just informed me that they are all staying the night, I have told him they can all sleep down stairs. will have to pop out later to get a supply of pop, pizza's and bacon for the morning.
Im going to up date my carts list now see you all later xx

Lesley, how lucky are you getting away with not paying any import duty!!!!!!!!! Have fun playing with them and let me know which you like the best. It is miserable here today, wet and foggy.

I totally agree with Pam how lucky are you!!!! Let us know your opinion on the carts. Apart from the Martha ones I am not sure of any others I am yurning. I dont feel the new carts are as breathtaking as the older ones they are discontinuing. I feel they re bringing too many out too quick so they dont have the time to develop them properly.

Forgot to say Kerry, let me know if you want me to look out the envelope manufacturer if you dont get the response you need to the email you've sent.

Sadly, the company recommended by Carol doesn't supply A2 envelopes, so could you ask for me Liz. C6 are OK, just a little to long. Just looks as though I've made the card to small for the envelope

The best cart I have at the moment (not including the new one's) is Wrap it up there are so many lovely cuts to choose from


Tonight I'm going to have a play with the Hello Kitty cart

Kerry, I have found this site in the US who will ship to the UK selling envelopes for the size you need for the cards you have made

http://www.thecardhouse.net/category/bulkpaper.ais_envelopes.a2_envelopes.9/

Thanks Pam, but it looks like the minimum order is $100

Sorry Kerry, I didn't look at what the minimum order was, they are easy to do on the Martha Stewart scoreboard as the US size envelopes are printed on the envelope attachment - sorry if you don't have one of these, when do you need them for?

Hi Pam, There's no rush to get some, just thought they would be great with my US size card stock. I do have the Martha scoreboard, so I could make my own but can't be bothered, I'd rather make cards I have found some A2 Letterpress envelopes on the DoCrafts site in the sale. Anyone know what the quality is like?

You could always try here:

I know they want to print stuff on them but perhaps you could give them a call and ask for them plain?

hiyah peeps!!!!
well we had a busy day of playing yesterday and today we have daddy at home so we have done the dentist this morning. The dentist had a good look in mo's mouth and said he had beautiful teeth. He had a feel of the front bottom 2 and said they were a little wobbly so it would be a very exciting time for mo soon, i thought that was such a lovely was to describe teeth becoming ready to pop out!!
Mo has his asthma check this afternoon so we will hopefully get to know his peek flow and see if he is getting any better at all, then tomorrow he has the opticians!! bless him talk about a Mo MOT !!!!
