Mine was a wispa, really really like Thorntons Continentals, don't even mind if they are misshapes.

Thank-you so much for your beautiful card,:A it's in pride of place on my mantel piece. It's so lovely of you to be thinking of me, I'm really trying not to worry and keep telling myself it may only be a pulled muscle, roll on next Thursday. Hope you had a nice tea at your mums the other day and that she had a lovely birthday.

Ooohhh Wispa with a cuppa is lurvely I was craving chocolate last night so raided the kids Easter egg stash in the garage (they got given loads so we hid lots to have later) and ate some - OK, most, of a Kit Kat egg

Hi anyone know where i can find some nice oriental pics and papers i'm sorting some cards out to make for my mil for charity and all the oriental ones went quite quickly last time so she wants more of those lol.
Then she said oh can i have them by the end of the month. must think i don't have a life or as my hubby said a chance to make cards and leave the ironing lol.
anyone want a free mil?

I have some images, if you PM me your home address I'll pop them in the post x

And no, I do not wish for another MIL thank you :rolleyes:

I feel like I am copying you now :rotfl: I love the papers, I can't even remember what I was searching for on ebay but saw them and wanted them. OH said nothing else is allowed in the house til something goes out ... so I will probably order them off ebay as they work out about £6 inc P&P and I can pay by paypal which is all a bonus!

Thanks for letting me know. Mary thankyou to you aswell

I'm not sure why I like them so much?

I have the Lime Rickey papers and they are gorgeous, fab bright colours x Can't remember where mine were from but couldn't find them cheaper anywhere - did try for ages and then gave up and ordered them anyway This ebay seller is selling half a pad so you get one sheet of each design instead of 2. I've used them before and service is great.

Also have Wisteria which are beautiful

I'm feeling really down tonight and have been crying remembering some painful things so I need to give myself a kick up the proverbial and chill a bit. A workout and cardmaking should help.

Sorry you are feeling down. I was feeling carp yesterday and very tired so got loads of card making stuff out last night, coloured some images in (very theraputic, would recommend it ) and had a lovely evening watching telly, eating chocolate, chatting to OH and making cards. Feel soooo much better today even though my monkeys got me out of bed at 6am

Forgot to say that I DID go out today to the Range and got my pens and they are lurrrrrverly. OH treated me as I've got to go back in Hospital on Tuesday :mad:.
Haven't had time to try them out yet, was going to have a go now, but OH has put Season 5 of lost on again to try and make sense of it before watching the last episode! So I have got one eye on Sawyer!

Ha ha, we watched the last 2 episodes of Lost last night whilst I made some cards (OH downloads stuff from the States so we can watch before they come on Sky). A couple of my papers had to be restuck as I'd put them on wonky

Sorry to hear you are going into hopsital, best wishes and hope you're back here soon x
