Saveapenny Hope you are feeling a little better today, you need to rest and take care of yourself. I'm sure when you get the phonecall excitement will take over from the pain for a little while. I remember when my first GD was born, the first time I held her it felt as if I had given birth to her myself (not the pain) the overwhelming feeling of love just takes over from anything else. It sounds as if it's not going to be long now.
Rainmac I hope your little boys are feeling a bit better too.

Just had an email from docrafts to say Clare Curd from papermania is going to be on QVC this Friday 17th April at 4pm.
She is also doing a demo at The Range Scun Thorpe on May 16th, if anyone interested.

I'd love to make a special card for my mum's birthday next month and really love the bookatrix cards that some of you very clever ladies have made recently. Can I ask I really thick question please? Is there a way of making a bookatrix card without the bookatrix board?

Does anyone have any other ideas for card designs? I made her an exploding box and book card for Mother's Day and she loved both but would like to try something different for her birthday. I'm struggling because my OH rebuilt our pc last week and all my crafty sites saved as favourites were lost :eek: Blooming men :rolleyes:
