Well I wrote a long post and the OH came along and closed down the screen - aahhh, I'll try and remember what I had written.
Flourgirl - I checked on creativecraftworld - thanks to Rainmac's link and although it doesn't say so anywhere on the site if you add stuff to your basket it automatically deducts 30%. That takes the bazill cardstock down to about 32p instead of 45p. Plus if you spend over 20 quid its free delivery - just make sure you choose this option at checkout. So glad for you it went okay at the hospital today.
Jailhousebabe - glad you found a use for your paypal money - those 12x12 paper packs are fantastic - along with your papers you get a sheet of stickers and a sheet of letters.
Npsmama - that looks like a fab project - I spent last weekend sorting out my ribbons - it took ages.
Rainmac - congrats on your candy win. Can I ask where you got your crocheted flowers from - I've looked but they seem really expensive?
Saveapenny - thanks for the ideas about the flowers - but I fell out with my printer months ago and I haven't turned it on since - stupid thing!!!!
Louby-lou-lou - gorgeous card - I love the colours - your husband will love it.
For all those that are waiting for stuff from me - there might be a bit of a delay. I normally go to the post office when I take the kids to school on the bus as they're isn't one thats close to me and I don't drive, however there was an "incident" at the school yesterday and we're keeping the kids off school for the next couple of days.

louby that is a lovely bookatrix I bet it will make hubby feel really special.
Hmmm I can crochet i wonder if i can do flowers???
I could give us all a continuos (sp) supply off to look for a pattern.

Thanks Melissa. I can't order anything this week as I'm going away for a few days tomorrow. So as soon as I get back I will put in an order for some and hopefully get a good deal:)

My project for the next few days is crocheting some flowers for my cards, I haven't made any for years so we'll see what they're like lol. Poppicrafts sell them Melissa
