Hello Ladies

Thanks for all you kind comments on my cards recently.

I love that card Flourgirl, I think that's my favourite out of all the ones you've done so far - the colour ie fab!

Rainmac, I love those colours you've used on the diamond cards, they're gorgeous.

Sorry if I've missed anyone - this is the first time I've managed online today as I've been up at the hospital - doing Phlebotomy training! :eek: I'm up there again all day tomorrow, so enjoy crafting ladies!

Rusty,

Baker Ross is a good site for you to stock up on bits for Thomas, and they have a sale on at the moment... http://www.bakerross.co.uk/category-View-All-VIEW_SPEC.htm

It's also good for adults too, I've bought some bits from them in the past!

OMG! I am truly astonished by all the beautiful cards you guys have made the past couple of days!!! I don't mean that in a reverse insult way but really the talent a lot of you have surpasses what 'professionals' make!

npsmama - thanks for the link, I have a basket waiting for me to checkout . Hey, it's all sale stuff and it's free p&p - it would be rude not to! BTW - piglets?

Wow can I just ask do you have a farm or are these going in your garden or what??

Sorry I love pigs and have done since I was at school as we were lucky enough to have a farm unit and I helped with the animals esp the pigs at the weekends. I would love to have piglets I am soooo jealous!! Please tell me everything!! breed, age, all the details!! I am a very excited furry pig!

Yes, real live squealing piglets!!! :j
We have this area of land that needs weeding, rooting and breaking up. One of our friends breeds the rarest breed of pig in the UK: British Lops. We usually buy half a pig (literally half a pig cut down the middle) of our friend and it's the most lovely meat you can imagine. It's not even the same colour as what supermarkets (and even butchers sadly) try to make you believe is pork!
Piggies are very good at breaking up (and manuring ) land so we thought we'd have a go. It's not 100% certain yet but our friend is coming on Saturday to give us advice and tell us about the realities of having piggies.
They'd keep my hens company and it would be great for my little boys too.
I'd love a goat or two but OH is less convinced!

BTW, Furrypig, I keep meaning to ask you about your username! It always makes me smile.

Am off to put the kids to bed and then I'll post some of my creations.
