    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.

    I always find retail therapy is the best medicine! ;)

    Just posted a pic of a card I've made using the stash that was sent to me by oap on crafty place.
    It's a get well card for my Mum who spent last night in hospital after making like humpty dumpty and falling off a wall!
    She's got a few stitches in her head and has cracked a couple of ribs so is not in the best of shape but she's sooo glad to be home now.

    dawnteabag - lovely male cards on your blog, the one in the shape of a mug is just great :)
    Thanks Gemm - I have a bit of a problem with throwing little bits of paper and ribbon away so I figured it was the ideal way of using some up. Once you've cut the card shape out it's just strips of paper/card/ribbon.

    Is it smirk? Do you know I had no idea- well I liked it and it was nice and easy to do - I had 1 hour to make tea, eat tea, make a card and get son ready for rugby!

    Will tell Mum to take it easy but chances are slim - my dad is useless! Last time he cooked anything was when my youngest sister was born in 1979 - Mum came home to toast on fire and a burnt out saucepan.

    sorry for snipping your post... I like the second stamp, it's free P&P so at least you woudnt have that on top of the price ;)

    It's not very big it says the block is only 3 1/2 by 1 inches. Sorry I don't have that one or any others with tigger on.
    I don't think will go have a look

    Here's another solution - just call me cheap skate LOL!
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p

    Rainmac You have received some lovely cards, I love receiving anything someone has made as I really appreciate the effort they have gone to. Well done on your win,:T it just goes to prove that somebody does read the letters people write and they are not ficticious.

    Paddingtondoo tut tut... toilet humour.. i had to read it twice before it twigged :rotfl::rotfl:

    Babyfreckles Gorgeous cards on your blog,:T I just like them all :D

    Dawnteabag Gorgeous cards on your blog too:T. The mug idea is great I have lots of odd strips of paper in my bits box, I think I'll have to experiment a bit more and get them used up. I hope your Mums ok and wish her a quick recovery.

    Thanks for the challenge flourgirl - and a great card to inspire us!

    I've done the draw for the male card challenge - I randomly wrote the numbers 1-22 next to each name (so they were not in the order they were posted in IYSWIM), then asked DD to give me a number between 1 and 22. She picked 17, which belonged to....


    rainmac :T:T:T:T:T:T:T

    Blimey lady - there must be something in the water where you live!!

    Congratulations
    :T
    PM me your addy and I'll pop a little something in the post :)
    some people grin and bear it, others smile and do it :)
