npsmama Your cards are fab, I'm now following your blog!
Melissa where do you find the time to do your crafting?! My sister is due in August and we've just found out she is having a boy, I think no I mean i'm certain I'm just sticking with the one!

I'm looking for some inspiration now, a very close friend of mine has got a new job and I would really like to make her a "Congratulations" card, she is very crafty herself so I feel abit daunted about making something that will be upto scratch.

hels, how about one of your lovely pyramid box cards? Or do you need to post it?

I have 2 boys too. No more on the way...that I know of anyway! My first baby was due late July too but he stayed comfy until early August which was great bc on the big day it was a nice cool day (so I'm told anyway - I was too busy to note the weather )

I'm sticking with two too

Rainmac why on earth didn't I think of that! Great idea that's what I'll do!
I'm going to nip into the Range today to pick up some papers I'm going to attempt an expolding box this weekend!

I have now created my blog ! I cannot keep up with all the posts so thank you everyone, I love these pages.

I too have two boys, my eldest is 3 in a couple of weeks and my youngest is 8 weeks old. There must be something in the water as everyone seems to be having boys ! I am definately not having anymore as I have scars in all the unmentionable places :rotfl:

My blog address is emma-madcatwoman.blogspot.com (it will not allow me to post a link as I am a new user so hopefully it will work if I take out the leading http://) This will probably cause everyone problems so apologies in advance !

I will now start to follow everyones blogs ...

Feeling a bit low today. Both my little ones have got chicken pox and my inlaws are here for a week. My youngest son (17mo) kept waking up last night so I haven't slept enough.
Doesn't help that mother-in-law says that he will go blind if he has a chicken pox spot on his eye and how we'd have to go to hospital and how so-&-so had it a nearly died etc etc
Showed hubby the cards I made and for some reason he always looks for mistakes and obviously finds some. His dad is the same so I guess hubby doesn't know any different.

Emma, your cards are fab and beautiful, I love them all and am looking forward to seeing more of your work, am going to have a play with Wordle over the weekend!!!

Melissa, can't believe how busy you've been with cards and a new notebook. They are all gorgeous and brilliant and you really need to get sorted and sell your stuff x

Poor you, can you not pack the in-laws off somewhere for the day? Get your OH to take them out or something? I so couldn't live with mine for a week :eek:. If you are worried, call NHS Direct about chicken pox x
