Thank you! I need some to stroke (cardstock not breasts :eek: just realised how that looked! )

Rainmac - I just about ordered every colour of the coredinations- aren't I bad???? Although I do use a lot of cardstock - and its my xmas present (well one of them) so it doesn't count!!!! I also ordered the october afternoon "ducks in a row pad" last week - but that's gone to my Mum's too!!! I also like the "cherry hill" pad too - but it seems to be out of stock everywhere.

Rusty - yes please I would love some stamped!!! I've still got to do you some too!!!

And lastly - look what I found - the greeting farm make paper pads too!!!! By my reckoning it would cost me about 25 quid for all four pads - oohhh - I am tempted!!!!

Must have been a bit behind myself..........missed first posting about Ikkie.............I think thats a lovely thing to do.
Having had a bit of a scare early this year and now OH going through similar I'd be happy to help if I can get my head round some card making. Won't be anything half as nice as some of yours but I'll do my best.

Rubbish, your cards (and everything else you make) are fab What's happening with your OH now, have been thinking of you both x

rainmac - thanks.
OH has his appt. for his CT Scan next Thursday (29th) -felt like a long wait it really has. Then he has to wait for result from that but from what GP says he'll need to go back to the hospital anyway for biopsy. I don't know........the year started with me having a worry and seems to be ending with OH having similar........:rolleyes:
I'll do what I can for Ikkie soon as I get my head round things.
Got a girl coming tomorrow to help me clear out our 'pigsty' of a walk in pantry..........:rotfl:Might make me feel a bit more 'positive' and 'normal' if you know what I mean..................;)
