Gosh - It's taken me so long to read today's posts I've forgotten what I read at the beginning so please forgive if I don't mention you.

Jailhouse - sorry you are poorly & hope it doesn't spoil your graduation date - could they not give you an estimated mark rather than make you resit?

Welcome Lucy, salesadmin & debsy

Bunbun & Saveapenny - rather you than me! Go for the max sedative they can give you & insist - I had a heart endoscopy a couple of years ago & they wanted to do it without sedative but I made a fuss 'cos I was so scared - don't remember anything. Bunbun could you change the appt to half term week?

Flourgirl - Sorry to hear you're having problems and fingers crossed it turns out to be nothing to worry about. You'd think they'd get back to you straight away wouldn't you?

1982girl - UTI is not nice! Drink plenty of water, as much as you can manage & keep it up even when you feel better.

Rainmac - thanks for the headsup about Hobbycraft at NEC & Tesco offer I'd like to go. Just spent my tesco vouchers but hopefully will have enough to use before Nov. Hope btm is feeling better!

Rusty - Thank YOU & OH for hard work on images - good luck with his interview - will this be a more local job or is it the away one?

Lovely cards, they are all so inspirational

Lucy Lu so many! Choccy one my fave.
Saveapenny - So different for you! & so well done. How do you do your big flowers please?
Sally Great patchwork cards. Do you colour your scalloped cards or buy them like that? Mine are all white and I fancy colouring some but not sure printer is up to it - tried once & failed need to think it through.
She grinch - very pretty card

I've looked at all the cards on the blogs too but sadly haven't mastered commenting on them yet so until I do I'll say here. They are great.:T

Work seems to be getting in the way of card making at the moment so frustrating

Hi Marg

Thanks for your kind comments and to everyone else who commented on my cards too

The cards were bought like that, you can get them in different colours.

hi all, it's been a long while now since I was here - hope everyone is well.....what i'm wondering is if someone could point me in the right direction of how to make a paper bag album.... i remember someone on here was doing one a while ago (Rusty and Mel perhaps?), but for the life of me without instructions i'm useless (blush)

Rusty if you didn't mind - could I have the details to your site? Only if you don't mind of course hon!

hope you are all enjoying the sunshine

Hi Emmy, sorry it wasn't me, I took the easy option and purchased 2 off ebay, although now I have started to use one I could probably have done a better job at putting it together myself! lol

I will PM you the details over now

lovely cards everyone. Sorry to hear your not well jailhouse, i also had a trip to the out of hours GP at midnight last night, iv got a nasty UTI that has been bothering me for a few days but was in horrendous pain last night so my lovely partner took me to hospital and theyve given me antibiotics. Still feeling pretty rough but seeing all your lovely cards have def cheered me up xxx

Spooky, I was also at the doctor yesterday! (nothing important thankfully). Hope everyone is feeling better and/or not worrying too much about appointments coming up

npsmama - I remember when I had my first son and was breastfeeding one of them got blocked and was double the size of the other - it was horrendous. I've got all that to look forward to again!
Rainmac - how are you bum cheeks today?
Well I am feeling a bit rough - I'd forgotten how weird your body goes when you're pregnant. I've started to get my braxton hicks and they're killing me, plus my boobs are super itchy - I have to remember not to scratch myself in public, plus you don't want to know what happens when I cough!!!!
she-grinch - great card - love the cute teddy bear.

The postie came to me this morning too, my order from Poppicrafts you can see below I got the ramdom flowers £2.49 50 blooms (I got 2 they are both different) and the random ribbons for £1.99 there is 40x 1/2 yard lengths I am really pleased and think they are excellent value for money. The p&p was £2.49.
