omg i need a new ceiling and it's rainmacs fault . Kaitlyn just found out where the boys put the post that came whilst we were out and there was one for her. She is absolutely delighted and we were dragging her back down to earth she jumped that much her head went through to upstairs.lol.
she's nagging her grandad now to take pics for her blog .
Can i just say a big thank you to everyone who sent her a card etc . Everyone on here is so lovely . She is working on masterpieces to send but nursery got in the way. Holidays now so should all be in the post by the weekend.
without wishing to bore everyone she's our little shadow she has lived with us since birth as her mum didn't want her she wouldn't even touch her we hoped she'd change her mind but almost 4 years on and she's still here. She thinks you are all in the computer and she said to tell flourgirl she likes auntie jennie's card.

You've just bought tears to my eyes, bless her. Kaitlyn's stash parcel was bigger than yours

I am pacing the floor today as my sister went in this morning at 5.30 am to be induced. She has had such a hard pregnancy i really hope it all goes well.

Blimey you lot can natter, I only went out for tea, just caught up.
Thank-you all for your kind comments about my stitched card. It was one of those things when I saw it I knew I had to make it for The Wife and in red, it so reminded me of the blog photo

Rainmac glad to hear you havent tied yourself in knots yets and the Wedding Invitation order is coming along nicely.

Craftygranny I think you should change your name to Supergranny:A My friend went through the same thing with her step-daughters baby 12years ago, they have since legally adopted her. She is old enough to understand what happened and that Mum & Dad are also Grandma & Grandad, and thinks its "cool".

Oh the posties here...... back in a mo...

Bit of a gnashing of the teeth going on at the mo, don't know whether to put this in for the Funky Fairys challenge. Is it their kind of thing?
All comments will be gratefully received even ones suggesting I do it differently, that's the sort of help I need.

Ooooh I think that's gorgeous!!! :T

Oh mumhug sorry your sister has had such a bad time . Hope everything goes really well today and that later on you'll be back to tell us what she's got. Not that i'm rushing her .lol

rainmac i think tying that many bows and trying to get them all the same would drive me up the wall. :eek:

flourgirl what you been buying now .Racing to get to the post.:rotfl:

Here's a link to kaitlyn's blog with pics of her goodies . But no pics of the masterpieces she finished until she knows they got there.
