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.

Mel - 34 weeks - WOW missus :j :j :j How exciting, sounds like you are pretty sorted, have you packed your hospital bag??? That's a lovely idea to put a handmade card on the top of your nappy cake - have you taken any photos, you know how much we like to look at stuff I really feel for you in this heat. I hate hot weather so will not be in a good mood this week :rolleyes:

Bunbun - love your cards, so pretty x

Dragonllew - what can I say, your altered box is stunning :T Need to start thinking about what I'm going to do, haven;t got a clue at the moment

Kim - have you had a look on ebay for the men's papers you're after, someone may be seeling part packs of them???

The heat is killing me - I am so grumpy!!! Our house is like a furnace so I'm permanently trying to cool down. I don't think I can cope with much more of this weather!!!
My stupid doctors annoyed me last week - I went for a routine check up and they said that my blood sample that had been taken about 6 weeks ago hadn't been tested as a label was missing. With both my other two I've been anaemic so I was expecting to be this time around too, they took my blood again and low and behold - I'm anaemic. It really annoyed me thinking that I've probably needed the iron tablets for months but because they didn't test my blood I have had to go without - idiots!!!

Myzdamena - happy birthday to your little girl!!! Have you seen the other new tilda stamps - the jungle themed ones - I'm sure that same seller has them for sale?
Chocolate.orange - I use blush and ivory for my skin tones.
Rainmac - I haven't packed my bag yet - I'm trying to remember what I need!!!

Having the problem in the first place is one thing..... but not bothering to tell you about it/take another sample is terrible!

Melissa just wanted to say thankyou to you also, those 2 colours are inside the pack i ordered that Craftygranny told me about BTW i had looked on there and couldnt see any packs :rotfl:,so i am pleased that i asked :rotfl::D

I do really feel for you in this weather,its so hot and stuffy here. I think you need to take up permanant residance infront of an electric fan . I had my 3 June,July and August so i know how you must feel. Seems ages that you have been pregnant, not long to go now though Hope the drs are finally going to sort your anemia out. What idiots they are !!!
