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!

I have the actual stamp so can send you some images of the boy on the pencil if you like?

I'm so glad your friend like her card I knew she would be pleased with it it was gorgeous.

It was my granddaughters sports day :rotfl:and they didn't have a granny race. My boys are 33 and 29. Aww I feel really old now

Thank-you for your kind comments on my card, I really do like my cuttlebug just need to buy some more embossing folders and a couple more sets of nesties. Will have to wait until after my holidays.

No jetsetting here either, but we are going up to Northumberland, and I know there are lots of lovely people live there

Mrsow - welcome to the thread, sorry I can't help with suggestions for the christening card - I haven't been to a christening in about 15 years!!!

Flourgirl - glad you had fun at the sport's day, did you say your grandaughter was called Willow - what a gorgeous name!!!! Beautiful "thank you" card - very classy!!

Hels - I knew she would like her card!! I'm not due until the 24th July - but I've got a feeling that he'll be early - knowing me I'm probably wrong though.

Jailhousebabe/ Gemm - I am so jealous - we haven't been on holiday in years!!

Dragonflew - your cards are great - I especially like the embossing on the first one.

Ah sorry flourgirl that will teach me for assuming! I'm glad you enjoyed though :rotfl:
Rainmac thanks so much for the offer dragonllew has kindly e-mailed me the image, rusty perhaps we could put in our secret place for people to use?
JHB Oh how exciting is that, you lucky thing!! No trips aboard this year for us my son is 2 1/2 and I can't stand the thought of going anywhere hot! So it will be Uk Caravan trips for us this year!
Dragonllew your cards are gorgeous!
Melissa how exciting! Are you all ready? My sister is due in August, she's having a boy, she's already got a little girl holly who is 3 1/2.

Well it's work for me for the rest of the week hopefully I'll get time to pop in at some point!

Swine flu seems to be spreading like wild fire now but hopefully all your kids manage to avoid it! Gorgeous thank you cards - you're all rather eager though! I want to make a card for this challenge seeing as I suggested embossing but am going to wait until my birthday next Monday so I can use my Cuttlebug x

Hels - I am sort of ready - I've bought everything that I need, I'm just nervous about the labour. This will be my third boy!!!
