Debsy - congrats on selling your cards and getting some orders!
Mumhug - great card - I love those papers.
Manson - well done on setting up your blog - I love your dalmation card.
Rusty - no probs - I ordered some cheap square coasters ages ago, but she ended up being out of stock so I got circle ones instead, lucky you already had them in your stash. At least this way you don't have to bother cutting the squares - they're already done!! Sorry you had a bad night's sleep! Oh no - I've just read that you can't find them - I'm right in thinking that you work in a pub though aren't I??? Oh well - as many beermats as you want then!! Fab farm card - that paper is perfect for your images - your horse is cute!!
Flourgirl - I need to try out some different designs of cards - that jacob's ladder one looks fab! I was reading on UKscrappers that some people had picked up square coasters from places like topshop and burtons as they sometimes have adverts on them.
Rainmac - I have got a little K and Co set to make a mini book using square coasters - I keep meaning to do it. At the time when I bought it I was gutted because you needed a big bite/ crop a dile to make the holes and I didn't have one.

npsmama - sorry to trouble you but I haven't received a message over on yuku. For some reason I don't seem to be able to get messages, my card swap swappee sent me one the other day and I didn't get that either.

Hi Melissa,

Yes I do work in a pub (well its a constitutional club so full of old fogeys but its great!) I found some beer mats but they aren't square (see I knew I had some!) so I will nip down to work one day this week and get some whilst MIL isn't looking :rotfl: I did notice you can buy them on ebay aswell :rotfl: infact thinking back I think thats where I bought some from last time as I wrecked the ones I took from the club

How are you feeling? I really don't envy you being so close to your date, you must be struggling a bit now? especially with 2 already? x

Rusty - I love your HSM card, I bet the recipient did as well. I also love your little hen, but... is that a cow in a horse costume? lol :rotfl:The backing paper is great; I'm not sure how I feel about digital scrapbooking, but such a good idea to print it off as backing paper.

CT19720 - thanks for the award I'll try to get it onto my blog later. Can anyone tell me what the correct etiquette is for passing on an award? Are you meant to notify people via their blog, or leave a message on your own blog and see if they notice it?

Bunbun - great cards; I see a definite theme :rolleyes: I think my favourite was the second one.

Kim - both cards I lovely; I particularly like the cake stand one, it's so elegant.

mumhug - I love your matchbook card, I can't believe how quickly you've managed it. I'm sure I would have ditthered for ages before actually getting round to it.

manson666 - I did manage to get a quick look at your blog. All of your cards are lovely, but I really like the baby one best. I will try to leave some comments and become a follower. Good luck at the hospital tomorrow.

Melissa - I asked at the uni shop today; they will be ordering more colours in the promarkers but not for at least another month. I'll keep trying though and check that you still want them before I buy them.

I also popped into Stampeezee, they don't have any of the new snag 'em stamps (teacher and penguin themed).

Hope I've not missed anyone. I'm taking it easy tonight after doing an exam this afternoon; I don't want to tempt fate, but I do think it went quite well. :cool:
