flourgirl she'll be thrilled to know you got it she was dancing round earlier asking me if i thought the postie would have been to you and jennie. She agonised over yours cos she wanted a rolling pin and i didn't have one and they didn't have one in the craft shop either but she was happier when i found the tray of gingerbreadmen in my buttons .
She remembered you told her you love to bake and that's where your name came from.

We had a good laugh this morning grandad told her she has to go shopping for a new coat for school and she said don't forget my hat . He said what hat and she said i need a red one with feathers like auntie jennie. Don't know what they'd make of that at school.lol.

Her uncle sam just came and he told her he'll buy her a red hat for his wedding. He doesn't know when he's getting married though . He said it'll be when lindsey , me and her mum tell him he is .pmsl. cheeky devil.

melissa hope baby elliot is feeling cooler and more settled today.

Well my good news is that Polly has asked me to be a guest designer on the creative card crew blog. It wont be until the end of September - so I've got a while to prepare myself. Thank you so much Polly - I hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew, and I hope the card that I make will be good enough!!!!

Dragonflew - great xmas card, what a cute snowman family!!!!

Louby-Lou_lou - lovely baby cards, my favourite is the blue one - I love those rabbit ears!

Jessica Rabbit - welcome to the thread! I think you have to submit a certain number of posts before you can post a pic.

Hels - beautiful xmas card - I love the embossing on the silver card - looks so effective.

flourgirl

Well done Melissa I dont think you will have a problem with your cards, they are always gorgeous and very professional

I would like to share with you all what the postie brought for me this morning, its from lovely Kaitlyn, Craftygranny's grand daughter. I think its absoloutely fantastic, she knows how I love baking and about my username, so this card is perfect. I especially love the tray of gingerbread men, yum yum. Thank-you so much Kaitlyn, you are a very clever little girl xxx

Marg

Many Congratulations Melissa your cards are always a work of art so you will be fine as a guest designer.

Flourgirl - what a lovely card from Kaitlyn!.

Jessica R - Welcome! I've got that Hallmark programme though I use it mainly for images, there are verses and would be worth £7 odd. I'd be very happy to help/advise anyone who got it. The only downside is it's American so images not always suitable for here. (strange but even the pictures of the children look American)

Gemma - thanks for info! I'll go & have another look now
