    WoW Roxie I can't believe anyone would want to buy my cards that has made my day!! I can't sell them to you because I have only made two and now I have no more of that paper left LOL Even if I could I would just feel so wrong charging someone! Thanks a lot though, HUGE compliment :):)

    Everything I have bought to sell on Ebay has now been heavily reduced in stores lol. Trust me.. I knew the luck had to run out

    Call it fudged fudge LOL. You could always put it in a little pot and then put it in two sundae dishes with the big long spoons and it would be a BRILLIANT gift. HMMM perhaps if you leave it in the fridge for a bit longer it will finally set?

    If it is rubbish just send it all to me for inspection... Nothing else I can recommend... :D

    I'll certainly taste Fudged fudge to check its up to scratch :D

    PinkLadyMel-     you should sell your cards, they would go well as they are lovely :) I have just added 2 of my old scrapbook layouts to my blog although I really do not spend the time on them that you must spend on yours! Your attention to detail is amazing.

    too squishy to cut, but not squishy enough to drizzle or would make a lovely fudge sauce - damn you fudge!!!

    A pot of fudged fudge might really be lovely - would it do this? We have pots of honey here, and I occasionally can't resist a teaspoon of it :D (minger I know!!)

    Oh oh oh I want fudged fudge, it sounds LOVELY! I may even give it a go myself, I wouldn't have to try to ruin it, I am a terrible cook!
    Mel, if you ever do start selling your cards let me know as I would LOVE to buy some, they are gorgeous. Very talented lady you are.
    Roxie, I too made snowman soup with my little boy but put him on marshmellow duty, he loved it but I think more got eaten than used.
    Have walked the dog and put a wash on and thats about it for now. Off to tackle upstairs jobs now..........well after a snowman soup (I am obsessed and add whipped cream! Yum). Speak soon girls xx
