Ct it was quite easy I would say it took about 3 hours but in my house I dont get to sit and concentrate. The holes took about 5 mins (i used a compass),

I hope that helps x

Thanks Mumhug - never thought to use a compass, which I have here as opposed to the correct sized 'pokey' tool, so may well have a go next week when I am on half term holiday with the kids. Fingers crossed mine comes out just as beautiful as yours. xx

Hi Everyone,

Hope you all had a good weekend.

I've spent all night uploading photos & figuring out how to put them on here but after all that, it won't let me coz i haven't had enough posts yet! :mad: What a waste of time! lol I'm afraid you'll have to wait to see my cards! Does anyone have any idea how many times I have to post before it will allow me to add any?

Time for me to catch up on all your posts from the past couple of days now.

Hello everyone. I can't believe how quickly this thread progresses, I've just caught up on over 15 pages but it only comes to a few days worth!

...what lovely cards, you are all so talented and skilled. My sincere apologies if I have missed anyone out.

Thomas - well done, your card is lovely, Mummy must be so proud of you. I can't wait to see more pictures, you are very clever.

Dawnteabag - I am petrified of spiders. A couple of years ago I was at home on my own and there was a really huge one, it had a really big body and huge bendy legs. I put a glass on top of it and it only just fitted! I left it there in the middle of the living room floor until my boyfriend got home and could deal with it!

Melissa - I hope you don't mind me asking, if yoy have any goodies left I would love to recieve something.

What are the challenges and would I be allowed to take part? And how do I take part in sending each other Secret Santa style stashes?

Best wishes to everyone and night night,

Lucy x

Right here goes, I've made a list of all the comments I have to make on the posts from over the weekend. Sorry if I miss anyone out, it's not on purpose! Hope you don't mind but I'm going to spread them across a few posts so that I get my count up & then I'll be able to add the photos of my cards!

Dawnteabag Tell your son that his cards are great.
I can't believe the size of that spider :eek: I couldn't rest if I knew that something like that was loose in my house! I am such a wimp when it comes to creepy crawlies. I live by myself & it has been known for me to ring for my Dad to come & save me. I'm still Daddys little girl even at 31!

Salesadmin The cards on your blog are great especially the exploding box

Paddingtondoo I love your Crafty Place May challenge card on your blog, it is so pretty, the colours are fab. Thanks for the link to the stamps. I "NEED" the one with the polar bear on as they are my fav animal. I think I need to learn to stamp first though with the stamps I have already bought so i'll try & resist! :rotfl:

Dragonllew I like your Crafty Place May challenge card too. It reminds me of being a little girl as I used to have flower fairy wallpaper!
