Rainmac - what did you order????

I am really miffed, I just found out that there's a card making/papercraft fair at Hinckley leisure centre tomorrow, which is where I'm from originally. But I'm stuck in Liverpool where nothing like this happens - I'm sulking!!!!

I ordered a couple of paper bag kits (after seeing your posts on the scrapbooking thread about them ) and a couple of other bits I can't remember at the mo... Only spent £7 something inc. £3.95 p&p.

Help pls, on the card I want to do I would like to have 3 pictures 1 of a dummy, 1of a nappy and 1 of a bottle. Does any one know where I can copy some pictures from to help me make the toppers for the card.

When I am struggling to find an image I type what it is followed by 'clipart' (eg. 'nappy clipart')into my search engine and then select the clipart results and there are so many to choose from, from photos to cartoons etc. There are alot of rubbish ones but sometimes there are really good ones. Hope this helps.

Lovely cards everyone :T

Just to let you all know, my mum has had it confirmed that she does not need a mastectomy so can go ahead with the radiotherapy now and the road to recovery. She's feeling so much better after hearing the news as she was sinking into depression at the thought of another operation.

My cat seems much better than earlier in the week. The vet confirmed he has a liver infection and he's on super strength anti-biotics and has started eating again which is good news.

Also, my little one, Thomas, was bouncing on our bed on Thursday night - as he does every night - and he sort of bounced off and landed on the floor. We spent most of yesterday at the hospital and found out he's fractured his collarbone. He's doing ok but is very sad. Poor little man

My OH is going back to Dubai for work on Friday for 12 days, sob sob He's only been back 2 weeks and has to go over again.

Think that's all my news, enough for a year, let alone a week :rolleyes:

I'll say thank you but no thank you if that's ok cos I'm flitting from one idea to another for my friend's present and don't want to take it and not use it if someone else can make good use of it. Thank you so much for the offer, you're a star :A

CT- Thank you so much for the peek a boo box I will be playing with it later when you buy them do you get differant sizes or are they all the same?

Hi Mumhug,

The five boxes that I got in the pack were all the same size. These were the only ones on the webstore that I bought them from.

Rainmac - great news about your Mum - she must be so relieved!!! I'll be looking forward to seeing your paper bag albums.
Jerseygirl55 - thanks for the info, I haven't got a car, so I'm not sure how easy it would be to get to.
Polly - great card, I love the heart paper and the image is so cute!
