I have never met you in the flesh Rusty but you always come across as a wonderful and caring mum and I think it shows in your childrens faces x

Thankyou my kids would tell you different ... Tom moans that I tell him off and regularly tells me he hates me .... Maddison's latest one it sulking, you only have to look at her and out comes the pet lip! :rotfl: I am firm but fair and I hate brats lol. xx

Melissa - Oh no!! that must be awful!!! ... I bet Brandon is really worried as are you! hope they get home safely, all of them! Can you not order some food online? or rely on local shops for essentials? I know it isn't cheap but at least you will have food!

Just got my order from Mad ABout Cards. Got 30 packs of these for a tenner - so if anyone wants to try them out just let me know. Probably best if you have a Crop O DIle though!

Just waiting to get snowed in here in Swindon. I may have to walk to work but I think DH is secretly looking forward to sledging with the boys!

:eek: How did you get them so cheap??? I am soo jealous!!

Same applies as last year, if there is anyone who wants picking up there will be 1 spare space in my car ... I think choccy and also bunbun will be occupying my other seats ... if I can use OH's travel car then there may be 2 spaces

Sorry everyone, I have another question! I ordered a fairy sheet like this: http://www.madaboutcards.com/product.php/12022/0

I was just wondering how I actually use it please? Do you stick all the little disconnected bits on seperately? What do you stick them on with?

Good luck..............;)

you build the image up from the main image by sticking the bits on top of each other so you end up with a raised image I stick the bits on with foam squares. Here's one I have made sorry not a brill pic but hopefully will give you an idea http://dragonllew.blogspot.com/2009/08/mse-stitched-card-challenge.html

Take out all of the little pieces in order then you can use 3d foam pads (that is what I use) to stick them on top of each other in the right place i.e fairies arm goes ontop of fairies arm, it gives a layered effect.

I posted some bits to you this afternoon first class so keep your eyes peeled. x

Hi

Not sure if you want decoupage or not but I found this Postman Pat one which may be of use.

Thanks so much! I will look out for some 3D foam pads.

Aww, that's so kind of you!! Thank you.
