    Craftygranny - she is so talented for her age, you can tell from looking at her creations that she is a perfectionist and really puts her heart into her work.

    Dawnteabag - fabulous gardening card, your Nan will love it, I love your dinosaur card too.

    Paddingtondoo - I would love to have an avairy. My uncle used to have one with zebrafinches, quails, and canaries. It was great going round there as a child and seeing them all.

    I hope you dont mind me asking on here but does anyone know the rhyme for the tea bag holder

    I've used this one...

    A little cup of friendship
    With a bag of tea
    When you drink this
    Think of love from me

    And there is this Xmas one... http://www.craftbits.com/project/christmas-tea-poem
    :wave: If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain :wave:

    Craftygranny these are the papers I have used for the princess card you can also buy the matching stamps. I love Imaginisce papers they are such good quality and the colours are fab. I have just got my order for the christmas papers and stamps today, they are so nice I dont want to cut them, just stroke them :)

    I got mine too, I have the mittens and hot choc stamps and some 12x12 papers and I bought a little tote bag for £2.99 and have put my stamps in it for now.

    Can't wait for the new Basic Grey Xmas papers with the eskimos on, I want them :D

    I think they're all back in now - didn't find any stragglers - I used to absolutely hate birds as well but someone had to feed them when OH was away so I made myself do it.
    I still hate it when they fly round my head and there's rather more in there at the mo than I'm comfortable with - fortunately they're in a shed right at the bottom of the garden so we don't have them flying in the house :D

    Great news :D

    Yes but only a quickie look, more a glance really cos I can't buy any more stuff until I use more of what I have already. That doesn't sound like me at all does it :confused: :rotfl:
