Lyndach - sorry to hear about your flood! Hope all is restored soon
Thanks for the reminder! I use that cutter & need some different blades!

Hus to Lydach my fellow washing machine/kitchen martyr.

Hope it all gets sorted out soon. I finally managed to wash a load yesterday after the kitchen fitter spent a whiole hour replumbing the washing machine. I don;t feel like such a wally for not being able to do it myself now

Funny that we should be talking about teabag card invites because I got the go-ahead from Mum today to make some for my granny's 85th party which will be in July. We're hosting an afternoon tea with beetle drive so I have about 40-50 to make before then
So that tea stamp can be bought. Hurrah! and thanks to Rainmac for letting me know its in the sale - even better!

Wow thankyou for all the ideas. I have made one and sent it to mum to look at!

Thrifty when I saw your idea I went and had a play ... pics below! If she doesn't like it then I can work on some of the other ideas posted.

Thankyou all of you! knew I could rely on you lot xxx

Lyndach - oh no, you are having a rough ride at the min!! hope you get it sorted soon xxx keep your chin up!

DTB - Any disasters today? hope you are ok xx good news about the teabag cards for your granny!!

Rainmac - Glad the boys are a little better xxx

Right here goes .... first ever attempt at a teabag holder ... ignore the blah blah blah I just wanted to make up a mock one to send to mum, she hasn't finalised all the details yet. Also I only had a fruit teabag so popped that in but will use english breakfast tea instead, again didn't want to go out and buy them incase she didn't like the idea! Honest opinions please? (I think I need thinner ribbon but couldn't find my thinner stuff in the red gingham!) I will also back the place time onto the same blue card used on the front.
