Melissa I haven't yet, I'm terrible!! I've shown a few friends just to see what they thought, they couldn't believe how little confidence I have in what I make!

Furrypig congratulations on winning the challenge!

Rainmac I am sorry I managed to miss that you had an appointment with a florist! Well done, they would be mad not stock your things as they are always beautiful!

Hels - I think we are all our worst critics!!! She'll adore it!!!

Try googling christening verses - you'll be spoilt for choice :rotfl:

some of them are a bit cheesy though

Well it has now reached us ... they have sent a letter home today, 2 of the kids have been sent home with swine flu today ... it amazes me that the parents hadn't noticed any symptons so still sent them to school mind you I say this but I don't know how fast it can come on.

I am hoping that DS doesn't catch it, fingers crossed he won't as he normally manages to not catch bugs and stuff so hopefully he won't catch this.

Just got back from sports day, the weather held out and the kids had a fab afternoon, they almost ran their socks off. We are back there tomorrow for the end of term concert.
Rusty I hope your children will be ok. Its a good job its nearly the end of term, let the kids get out of the stuffy germy classrooms and into the fresh air. I havent heard anyone say its in our local schools yet....
My challenge card is on my blog

Flourgirl I hope they don't get it ... DS is due to go to his dads in just over a week ... looks well if I have to cancel his 1st visit after we finish at court lol
Glad you had fun at sports day, I am also going to watch DS's concert tomorrow .... beautiful challenge card, I have left a comment

Rusty sorry to hear that, it seems to be happening everywhere now, it's such a big worry, especially with the little ones.

Melissa when is your due date?
Flourgirl Glad the sports day went ok, did you have a mothers/fathers race?! Your challenge card is fab, I'm really lik ing the embosed papers, hmmm wish I had a cuttlebug, I don't think my xcut impress can do that.

I've finally given my card she was really pleased, thank god!!

Just wondering if we have the stamped image of the little boy with a pencil anywhere in our stash, I've running out of stamped images and fancy doing some new ones!
