    Forgot to mention something that made me giggle earlier.

    Which stamps you watching Rusty - check the size they're not generally very big and like all the other Pooh stuff ridiculously expensive - my friend brought that one back from America for me.

    Card Challenge this time is this sketch, there will be a draw and a prize although it may be a little late as I am away from friday for a week. I have kept it simple so you can feel free to use your lovely embellishments and ribbons. The image can be anything you like. I hope this is ok with everyone and I hope all our new ladies will join in. I have made one just to start you off. I've been busy this morning so will catch up with you all later, sorry for the rushed post I have to go to see my mum and dad now.

    Mel, your cards are stunning. I love everything about them, you use such gorgeous papers and your colouring is fab :D

    I have just had an email from a cross stitch magazine to say a letter I sent in is going to be published in the next issue and I will get a mystery prize! I emailed the magazine some pictures of the stitched Easter cards I had made. How exciting :j I have been in print 3 times before in stitching magazines and have received a large kit (sold on ebay :o) and a bouquet of flowers for being letter of the month.

    well done rainmac!! :T can I be nosey and ask which magazine, I subscribe to a couple so I'll keep an eye out for your letter ;) bet you are looking forward to your mystery prize!!!

    I am watching about 4 or 5 of them, they seem to be a reasonable size looking at them, but I did also see some which looked tiny so tried to steer clear of them.

    This one I really like, but as it is on a buy it now the price will lower as it gets closer to the end of the auction so I am tempted to wait a bit longer and see if it drops some more :o

    This one I really like ... not sure I want to spend £5 on one stamp though without sounding cheap?

    There is another one of pooh and piglet holding hands, but it is in the states but she has given me a quote for postage so works out just under £5 shipped to the uk ... again I am very tempted. :o

    We got DD some pooh stickers in a big box which came with an album and today she had to have a nappy free day so I could get a sample off her for the doc ... she is a madam cause she held it in for 4 hours :eek: got one eventually and we have removed princess stickers off her potty and replaced with super sleuth pooh and tigger and darby & friends :D she is really happy with it :D

    Hmmm I know, that was my reasoning for buying that one ... but then I am still deciding lol. I really shouldn't be buying anything but feel I need a little treat right now and it is money neutral as I have over £125 in my paypal account from ebay sales.
