Sal, your cards are fantastic and I love the stories behind them, makes them all the more special. Hope you are enjoying being busy at work and not being worked too hard!!! The African wedding sounds great and the giraffe card is my favourite of the ones you posted x

Thank you Rainmac!

The wedding was terrific, very loud music, very colourful and very very lively, there were some fantastic outfits and wonderful dancing, not to mention food!

I'm really enjoying work at the moment thanks, long may it last, especially in this economic climate, eh!

I made my nappy cake yesterday - its so much more stressful when you are making it for someone to buy!!! The teddy that I bought doesn't match at all, so I've decided to put a handmade card on the top instead. I'm quite pleased with it - I've just got to buy the cellophane now.

Bunbun - great cards - I love the colours on your magnolia one, and the sunflower looks so pretty on the second.

Rainmac - I had a bit of a scare on Friday - I get emails every week telling me what stage I am at and the one on friday read " congrats you are 34 weeks pregnant, by the end of this week you will be considered to be "full term" and could give birth at any minute". I panicked a bit 'cos I'm not ready at all, so I ordered the pram - its coming tomorrow, my dryer is coming on Weds - I am so excited - it'll make washing so much easier, and I've got a moses basket and stand coming at the end of the week.

Dragonflew - a beautiful decorated box - its so pretty!!!!

Paddingtondoo - there's some gorgeous cards on your blog - I think my favourite is your one for the funky fairies challenge - I love the pink roses.

Sallyuk those are fabulous cards its lovely to use pics sometimes as it can add a really personal touch.

Bunbun your cards are beautiful my fave has to be your challenge card though the image works so well with the papers.

Well I'm fed up - I was telling my s-i-l how chuffed I was that my ankles hadn't swollen - then low and behold they have decided to triple in size today. I looklike I have two elephant feet!!

Hmmm we have a room in our house on the ground floor with no windows. My hubby reckons if we use a daylight bulb i could use it as a craft room as it's quite big. Would this work? Think i'll have to buy a daylight bulb tomorrow and check it out.
Fab cards everyone . Sally the giraffe is beautiful.

Melissa glad to hear you have ordered your pram. 34 weeks WOW :eek:birth imminent WOW :eek: I think you should start getting some rest while you can
