    Rusty - I did get a mermaid stamp from lilli of the valley - but I'm finding it really hard to get a decent image. I bought a stamp set the other day and they keep bodging up too - its driving me crackers.

    flourgirl - your latest blog cards are fabulous, the boyish ones are great :) I have those papers too so I may have to pinch a few ideas as I NEVER know what to do for young boys cards, unless they are into something specific lol. sorry to hear your visit to the docs was a bit of a letdown, I can't believe it when you are obviously in pain and they go 'oh its nothing' I think they just dont wanna admit they don't know what it is :mad:

    cazarol - lovely challenge card, love the colours you've combined and the image x

    dragonllew - beautiful additions to your blog, I especially love your MSE challenge card its; just soooo pretty :)

    the wife - love your CP challenge card, so bright and summery fits the theme perfectly :)

    dawnteabag - your good luck card is so pretty, bet your sis loved it! good luck to her for the interviews :)

    louby - such a cute teddy pirate card ;)

    I've spent pretty much the whole weekend weeding our jungle of a garden, it's such a mammoth task! there were 4 of us doing it both days and we only got 2 thirds of it done, by the time we're finished the weeds will be back where we first started :rotfl:

    bunbun I got thre random packs of flowers and ribbons and they were excellent value for money but unfortunately they are out of stock. I would imagine the other packs are the same quality and you really are spoilt for choice. I wish I could afford to have 1pack of each, but I spent £23 yesterday in the Craft Emporium Sale

    flourgirl - love the card and the ATC; I've not got up the nerve to try one yet, they just seem so small! :o
    Sorry to her about your experience with the doctor - you have to wonder what planet some of these people live on. I took DD to see a locum when she was 15 as her essential tremor was really getting her down (her hands shake badly, though the right hand is definitely worse. She hates eating in public as it's really noticable then). The stupid woman told her that if she had a couple of drinks it would probably stop it! :eek: Great advice to a 15 year old!!

    louby-lou-lou - I love your pirate card, and I also don't think it's 'too young' for a 7 year old.

    melissa - I'm liking the idea of a fantasy challenge. It really will be a challenge, I have no idea what I could do!
    some people grin and bear it, others smile and do it :)
