Sorry girls I have been a bit rubbish with keeping up with this thread. I have however scanned through and seen all of the beautiful cards. I love the beer one! that is brilliant!

Here are my efforts for mothers day cards. I made the embelishment, I wanted a boquet of flowers and found packs for 10p in the wholesalers, then I also found some pearls so thought I would see what I came up with. I knew I already had florists ribbon in my stash. I had 4 to make, and wanted each one to be a bit different but still look the same if that makes sense. Anyway here is one of my embelishements

Your card is beautiful :T I love saveapenny's idea about popping seeds in the pockets. I made some tags for my pockets, could also do bookmarks?

Wow RustyFlange and Saint_Chris, what fabby cards you've done. Really impressed RustyFlange that you have made the bouquets - well done, they look really impressive:T .

Thanks to everyone who has been looking for denim download for me. I'm sorted now thanks to one of the links that Savapenny posted last night. I've printed out the backing paper now, and cut out a cowboy hat, so just need to think of some more barn dance words for the 'wordle bit'. I'll post a picture of when it's done. Fingers crossed it will look OK and he will like it.

Thank you for all 'welcome homes'

Gemma Good Luck - once you are numbed up it's not too bad for fillings, like you, I'd prefer a general anaesthetic but my dentist wont do anything more than a couple of valium "to take away some of the anxiety" when I've got to have tooth out. Daft but I try to concentrate on my toes as being as far away from mouth as possible........Try thinking about your trip @ the weekend

Good Luck Mr Saveapenny hope all goes well......

Welcome home Marg :T

Gemm - I am nervous at the dentist too but as Marg said I try and think of something else - maybe creating a shopping list in my head, plans for the weekend etc Before you know it it will all be over. Good luck

Saveapenny - please pass your OH my good luck wishes too
