Hi Everyone,

Great cards, and blogs - it never ceases to amaze me how much talent you all have with your cards/scrapping.

Sorry haven't been around much to post - I do read every day to see what is going on but work and home life have been really busy - so will try harder. Finally managed to set up an account over at the Crafty Place :T. Having had a quick look it looks great and I am looking forward to watching the site develop.

Welcome to all the newbies.

Saveapenny - hope all is well with your new bundle of joy, let us know and I am sure we will all have a virtual drink with you to celebrate.

Quick question - a while ago, someone posted a link to an ebay seller who was selling part packs of papers for a reasonable price - I thought it was flourgirl, but can't find it now - but whoever it was the link was to papers suitable for male cards - does anyone know what the link was - tried search ebay and can't find the company again. Thanks.

Hope you are all out enjoying the sunshine.

Is this what you wanted?

Thank you so much Flourgirl - that is just what I was after - off to spend some pennies.

Fingers crossed saveapenny, that you don't have much longer to wait until becoming a Nanny.

Rainmac - I seem big for 6 months, I can't imagine what it's like having twins though, thankfully I haven't started the puffiness stage yet!

6 months already Melissa? :eek: It seems to have gone so fast ... at least for us, you probably think it is taking forever!

Saveapenny hope mum is ok and coping ok, I can't believe it is taking so long ... poor mum Mind you I remember I was similar with my son ... 72 hour labour with him My daughter just shot out though! :eek: just over 3 hours with her! (after 2 attampts at being induced, then she decided she was coming on her own!

Sally what fantastic cards. Well done, the black and white one is my favourite, those dogs are so cute. Did you use a template, I fancy having a go at some different shaped cards

SallyUK

Thanks for your comments everyone, much appreciated. I'm always very self critical after I've finished a card, is anyone else like that?

The dog is a template, and I think the papers came from Artymiss(?) - my memory is terrible, I'm sorry - (thanks to being menopausal - lol)

Saveapenny I hope you don't have much longer to wait - I would love to have another baby - siggghhhhhhh

evening all - glad to hear that some of you that were having problems with Yuku have managed to get on now, won't be long before we're all ok hopefully!

sally - those cards are fabulous, it's great how you've been experimenting with non standard card shapes, the most adventurous i've been is a handbag one!

saveapenny -hope everything is going ok! xx

poppy - I agree, labour definitely doesn't sound like something I fancy either!!! :eek:
