Mary, so sorry just realised I didn't give you the links for the post-it note holders and teabag cards...

Just posted my Christmas card over on CP and some other misc cards on my blog.

Glad U2 went well Rainmac. I'm going on Thursday and am really quite excited as much because the gig is in Sheffield so I don't have to travel too far which is a novelty. Last time we saw them was at Manchester and we didn't get in till 3am! Were you seated or standing? We're in the cheap seats behind the revolving stage.

Hels/flourgirl/craftygranny I managed to get a bath - he seems a bit better now - back to his normal self - I think he just had a bit of trapped wind. it is really hot here which doesn't help!!!

Craftygranny - great pocket cards, I love that candy cane paper!

Rainmac - what a busy weekend you've had - make sure you get plenty of rest!! Congratulations on your craft fair success, I can't wait to see your pics now. I bet you'll get loads of orders for your nappy cakes!!

Rainmac- glad it all went well.

thanks for the flowers info as you can see i started a bit of a flower poll in ur absense! i looked on sarah cards but cant choose between several packets or the jumbo selection at under 5.00....!!!

I was thinking that i dont really have a place for my cards, but was walking past the local charity shop where someone had donated a box of shop bought cards which were displayed in the window. So You could do this with ur fair extras then anyone who buys might see ur "stamp" on them and buy direct ??? or theres always good old ebay- sell in a batch!

Thanks! and thanks! - its one of those ones that has a die and 4 embossing folders in. I like the 'happy birthday' embossing folder best but there is a to/from one that you can use to make a gift tag, one with snowflakes on for christmas use and one with stripes on. Got it in a sale somewhere online for about a fiver a few months ago. I just ink the emossing up a bit to make it stand out more and they're a really simple modern card to make.

Rainmac glad you had a fab weekend and sold so much at your craft fair.
Saveapenny well done on all those nappy cake orders.
Hels lovely invites saveapenny did a fab job.
have posted my entry for the christmas card challenge over on craftplace and on my blog here also made my atc and trifold card yesterday but not happy with either of them will have to leave them to stand on my desk and see if I can think what else to add to them.
