Any ideas for a 30th bday card for a girl who does not want to be 30 and we have all been told she doesn't want to see a 30 any where? I am thinking something funny but haven't come up with much other than doing her a 29th or 21st card.

I would make a card with 40 on it, to let her know that it could be worse! But then I'm just mean that way.
For my sister's 29th I gave her a 30th card, to prepare her for things to come.

Or you could do her a 'with sympathy' card, to mourn the end of her twenties...

Congratulatons furrypig! :j
Have you all seen the latest challenge on CCC? It looks really interesting, but I haven't a clue where to start. Rusty, your cowboy at the saloon would have been perfect!

Rusty, my surprise arrived today, thank you soooooo much, I love the card and the images are gorgeous, thank you, thank you, thank you :A

I love the new CCC challenge but not sure if I'm going to be able to enter as I am so pushed for time this week. I need to make up some stuff to take to the florist on Friday (nappy cakes, quote book, decide on what cards to take...), going to pick up a wedding card order tomorrow morning that will be about 15 hours work, sort my dad's birthday present & cards and then also need to be making some mini quote books for my craft fair. And the kids break up from school on Friday :eek:

I ordered a stamp from Funky Kits on Sunday and it has just arrived in the post. My first order with them. Sorry Rusty Also ordered from Pink Gem on Saturday and they are here today - blame the wife for her fab cards using their stamps :rolleyes: I got an email from Calico Crafts yesterday to say my flowers are on the way and none have been substituted. I only ordered 28 packs so maybe that's why

Does anyone know where my Daisy and Dandelion Christmas paper pad is??? I used it for my Christmas card for the challenge and I have no idea where I have put it. I admit my stash is in a mess but I've had everything out this morning and can't find it anywhere

What do you think of the QVC TSV then? Anyone ordered - choccy, have you, have you... :rotfl:

:T:T:TCongratulations to Furrypig:T:T:T


Thank-you Rainmac for organising it. :A I'm trying to keep up to date on the challenges and swaps cos we go away at the end of the month for 2-4 weeks (depending on the weather) in the caravan, so need to get that organised. Think I'll stick to custard with the crumble, the clotted cream ice-cream might give my DH a heart attack:eek: We have loads of cooking apples on the tree, some are big enough to use now

Rusty I ordered my flowers immediately Gemm posted the link and I used 1st class P&p dont know if that would make a difference. Did you get a conformation email after you placed your order? I did, then I got one yesterday to say it had been dispatched and it arrived this morning.

I got my order confimation but I chose to use paypal so paid for them on sat morning ... but no emails or anything from them? I might just give them a quick ring and check they got payment ok etc ...
