Apologies if I've missed anyone, wasn't intentional.

I've made my card for this week's CCC challenge and several others in the same style... http://rainmacsplace.blogspot.com/

That's gorgeous Rainmac, the colours are beautiful too. Ialso like doing cards that are a bit different from the norm and thought that this was a really easy one to do, even though it looks more difficult than it actually is.

Fifi your cards are so pretty!
npsmama I'm so glad you liked your stash I was so nervous about what to put in, you've made some lovely cards!
Rainmac you are so clever! When I showed my OH the gorgeous card you sent me he said well your cards are in a totally different class to mine!! He thinks you should be selling them in shops!!

For the eyeletless amongst us these look like really good value.

Don't know what they're like but the seller is based in my mum's home town so if they're carp I'll send her round to sort them out. They have loads of button packs which was what I was looking for.

Ok you twisted my arm I've hardly bought anything for ages:rotfl:.

Mary - flowers and ribbon sound fab for decorating your notebook - good luck!!
Saveapenny - thanks for the offer - I'm sorry I still haven't sent your crafty swap -its packaged and ready to go - I just need to somehow get to the post office. Thanks so much for the instructions for the stork bundle - it sounds very clear - I just have to buy a plain blanket now as she doesn't know what she's having. I've got plenty of nappies tucked away and baby wipes already. Have you tried using the asda's own nappies for your cakes. I bought a few packs weeks ago - they are a decent make - the newborn packs were about 1.60 I think.
Melsharpshooter - hello and welcome to the thread! I'm following your blog, but I haven't had chance to look at your card yet.
Fifi folle - lovely card - I really like your silver heart - its very striking. Your butterfly card is great too - I really like the lacy border and how you've used the rectangular frame around the butterflies.
Rainmac - beautiful card - I really like the pink and brown colours together.
Mumhug - hope you feel better soon!
Bunbun/ Popkins/ Mumhug - I've got a selection of gromets and eyelets and would be happy to send a few out so that you can have a play.
My two boys are much better today - thank you to everyone for asking!!

melissa that is very kind of you. glad to hear your two boys are better now.
I am about to re-read through the posts and then comment - I could be a while:rotfl:

Wow ladies this thread moves oh so fast! I am sorry I feel very rude but I can't comment on all of the individual posts. They are all beautiful though.

Craftygranny - Hope you are feeling better soon xx

The Wife - Thankyou for my lovely card, it arrived yesterday just as I was rushing out of the door, it is beautiful and so thoughtful

BunBun - I know I have already txt to say thankyou, but wanted to say thankyou again (Can you PM me your address please I have some eyelets I can post to you)

Rainmac - Wow mrs!! You have been busy! Thankyou ever so much for my parcel!! you must have posted Tues as it arrived wednesday and I am ashamed to say I cried cause it was all so lovely and you are very thoughtful, you really made my day a big thankyou to you!, I haven't properly looked at everything as it arrived as I was walking out of the door, but I did peek in and will look properly tomorrow

Thankyou ladies for the lovely things you have sent me, you all made my day yesterday just when I needed a boost to keep me going, we are home (arrived back home at midnight) its been a long horrible couple of days, My G'dad is now in a better place but we still have the funeral to get through and also my daughter shared his birthday with him so this sat not only is my baby girl 2 but it would have been G'dads, so we are going to buy some balloons make up some tags to wish him happy birthday and set them free.

Hope everyone is ok, no cards from me and not likely to be for a couple of weeks etc.
Thankyou for all of the PM's I am shattered so haven't had a chance to reply to them xxx
