Hello!
Jailhouse - Are you feeling better? I do hope so, did you manage to do your exam yest?

Gemma - Good to hear from you - amazed you've got the luggage allowance to take a laptop on hols - will checkout your pics in a minute enjoy the rest of your holiday....

Rusty - I'd try to get the board from a shop that frames pictures or an art supplies shop - they may have off cuts? and/or if they are kind might even cut it for you....... I fancy having a go at one of those jacobs ladder thingy for my OH's birthday but he'd probably end up helping me make it!!:rotfl:

CT - hope you enjoyed your day out - think your OH's card is brill - sooo funny:rotfl:

Dawnteabag - that's a real Charlottes Web sized beastie! I loved that film sad I know! - I don't like spiders but don't like to hurt them either - strangely, they seem to like our bedroom best in our house & I definnitely can't sleep if there's one in there so OH has to remove them for me.

Saveapenny - I can scan them in if you would like me to send them to you, will you upload them aswell? Hopefully they will be here tomorrow or tuesday so hopefully I can get to play ... you watch they will arrive and I will be horrified at the brightmess lol

I thought about sticking 2 pieces of card together but OH says it probably still wouldnt be stong enough.

Gemma - amazing photos! The size of your bedroom, it looks HUGE! - how the other half live eh?!

Next MSE challenge - No fathers, no kids either, but I'm happy just to do a male card if that's OK with everyone?

Wow Gemma - your photos are stunning, you are sooooo lucky !

It is absolutely freezing here and has not stopped raining since you left.

Please, please, please bring the sunshine back with you

Your room and bathroom is so big we could have all come with you :rotfl:

Have a great time.

EmmaOC

Thank you Flourgirl - this is my first blog award and I feel very honoured :j

Bunbun - the cards you made last night are lovely :T My favourite is the blue flower fairy ones. They remind me of a set of plates that my Mum and Dad have in their dining room.

Mary43 - thank you for letting us know about the fabric samples. This has just reminded me that i did not receive the last lot that I ordered when this came about before :rotfl:
