    Melissa, Well done on the scan - you certainly will have your work cut out with three boys - i've got two who can be a handful at times, and I often feel very outnumbered being the only girl.

    Great card for the challenge Flourgirl - its really girly and pretty and you tears are so clean.

    Here is the triangle box i've made for my mum on Sunday, just got to fill it with some goodies:

    Hels you can see how I have done the punching in the first picture - it wasn't that bad to do honestly.
    2016 is the year I am going to find time for me, and cherish the time I spend with my friends and family.
    It is also time to save - Aim £4,000 - So far this year - £230/£4,000

    I'll have a proper read of everyone's comments in a bit - I'm in a bit of a rush now, just off to m-i-l's house. I just wanted to tell you all that I had my second scan this morning - everything's fine, and guess what - I am having another boy!!!!! I'm going to have my work cut out - 3 boys and an OH that acts like a big kid!!!

    Congratulations Melissa :j :j

    Well actually it's a blue rabbit but it's a stereotype of blue and it's jumping up and down as it's exciting news!!!

    Was thinking of you and glad the scan went well xxx

    Lovely cards as usual!
    CT19720 your triangle looks lovely, thanks for sharing, I may pluck up the courage later this evening and punch some holes!
    Melissa Congratulations on your news!!
    And thank you all so much for your kind comments on my triangle box, I picked up a necklace and earring set from Asda for £3.50 so I'll be popping that in for mum!

    Brilliant blogs! :T
    I've looked at them all. I'm very impressed and really scared now that I'm going to be left behind! I'll need a bit of time to work out how to do a blog of my own.
    Melissa75 - Congratulations - I have 3 brothers so, yes, you will have your hands full.
    Saveapenny - Could your toothache be neuralgia? Grim but feels like toothache.

    Great cards - love the triangles and the [STRIKE]ripped[/STRIKE]tearing card

    http://lil-miss-tree.blogspot.com/ I've joined the blog world to now!! Will try and figure out how to add all yours to mine now!

    I've seen that some people's blogs are all decorative and funky, not just your typical template, where do you get these or make these?
    I changed my background by going to this site http://www.thecutestblogontheblock.com/ and following the instructions was really easy hth
