Here's there website its not in central Bournemouth its in Moordown if you know where that is I told DH about it earlier he's not impressed as its only up the road from where I work lol will have to go and investigate.:rotfl:

Ooh another craft shop for me to seek out! We only have a Hoobycraft near where I live but my boyfriend's parents have a caravan in Ringwood so we go down there quite a bit (just for The Range sometimes ). I've told his Mum about this shop as she's there this weekend so will check it out hehe we're such bad influences on each other - she's to blame for getting me into card making in the first place x

Well I didn't get anything done yesterday - so I still haven't updated my blog - I really will try and get it done today. My Mum and sister visited us yesterday and wouldn't put Elliot down - I think they bought every baby boy item of clothing in the Asda for him! They also bought a toy for Leo and Brandon - so they went down well! I received some more lovely cards yesterday from Saveapenny and cgcockcroft - thank you so much - they are both gorgeous!!! I'll post some pics later with all the rest that I've received!!!

Dragonflew - fabulous ff challenge card - good luck with your entry!! I love the guitar in the star!

Jailhousebabe - congrats on winning the ff challenge!!

Rusty - Sorry the bug hasn't left your house yet. You'll have to let me know if you find any cheap matchboxes - I'm really tempted to make one of the calendars - or I might make one for Mum but not do it as a xmas one but as a container for all of her bits. I caved in too and ordered from mod scraps yesterday - it was a giving birth present to myself!! What did you order???? I got some fab papers - including some baby boy ones and one of the martha stewart punches.

Clarissa_D - welcome to the thread!

Gemm - gorgeous good luck card - love those swirls!!!

Hels - congrats on ordering your dress - how exciting!!! What's it like???

Hamish - I'm glad your cat's home!!!

CgCockcroft - I love your gingerbread card - the men look delicious!!

You can get 10 packs of matches in Wilkinson's for 39p but they are quite small boxes (they have slightly bigger ones that are twice the length too, which are 4 packs for 65p)...

Thankyou for the kind offer, it has to be red though as it is for my DS ... he is mad on red and asked me if he was allowed to have his own scrunchie lol

Yes don't think this particular pink would go down too well with DS!!

Glad your kitty is back Hamish, hope there are no more problems

Love the cards on your blog, salesadmin, the little girl image can I ask where it came from. Just an idea for my grandaughters to colour for their own Chrissy cards. Off to York very very soon.

Thanks I've got most of my images from Pollycraft recently, so I think it must be one from there! www.pollycraftdesigns.co.uk
