Pinkcoke - welcome to the thread!
I think I am now following all the new blogs that have been posted - I'm just off to leave comments on them all.

You've inspired me to get back on the wagon.

I have been out shopping for more baby things today, Im getting too impatient now its due 13th April but I want him/her NOW!! lol
I have ordered some scolloped cards and candy ( another £40 spent) I am hoping it arrives tomorrow so I can play
My order arrived from Craft Carrot realy please with the quality of the papers for how they cost

evening all this card is hurled in the direction of saveapenny:



I want to say a huge Public thanks to her :beer: I arrived home from work today to find a load of beautiful papers that she has sent me, I am so touched by her incredible generosity to effectively a complete stranger! (do you recognise the lovely paper i've used saveapenny )

I won't bore you all with the details but the past few years haven't been the best for me, and finding this thread and all of the lovely warm, welcoming and genuine people who make it what it is, has kind of restored my faith in humanity. (I know that sounds cheesy but its true!)

anyway, emotional outburst over :rotfl: on with our crafty evenings, mine certainly will be as i've had an order for 6 easter cards by tomorrow, arrghh!!! :eek:

Have just updated my blog with 2 of the cards I made at the weekend. I managed to sell all my Easter cards and 3 Bookmarks on Monday.

Not much longer to wait now saveapenny before your babe makes an appearance, bet you jump every time the phone rings. I hope you manage to fill your card box by Tuesday, it's great to hear of someone selling lots of cards. I am not suprised though as your cards really are beautiful.

Melissa I am ready for a break too, we have had a few family problems lately and it will be nice to get away from them just for a few days, tempted to leave my mobile switched off too.

Fab card Gemma :T It mustn't have taken you too long to make it then if you only got the papers this evening? I don't think I've made a card yet in less than an hour (and most of them take a couple of hours ).

I don't suppose we'll see much of you saveapenny over the next few days! Good luck At my pace of work it would take me a year to fill a box!

Flourgirl - enjoy your break and I hope you get the weather you want (I won't say sunshine in case you'd rather be in the caravan cardmaking )

I'll try to catch up with all the blogs when I get back from our first ever dog-training class tonight - if I have any energy left
