Just before I order the BG papers could someone give me a second opinion of these when I saw them last night I loved them - but now having second thoughts - thank you!

I have some of those in 12x12 but haven't used them yet as the patterns are bigger on 12x12 but they are lovely. I wish the 12x12 papers had the same size pattern as 6x6 just more of it [EMAIL="I@YKWIM"]IYKWIM[/EMAIL]

Welcome back Marg
and Welcome to the gang Twinkle!

Does anyone have an idea where I can get the patterned Doodlebug papers? I found some yesterday at hobby craft was 75p each still got 2 though lol

I think my DD is ill, she's refusing her food and milk, we're established in weaning and normally she gobbles it up but today is a no, though she very happy and playing so I'm clueless whether she's ill or not.

Lyndach Rainmac has already answered your question but I also bought 2 of the kids from glitterpot
Hope your DD is better soon. I always live by the rule that leave them if they are happy, being her mum you will know when she wants food etc. Doctors always say to me that you need to make sure they have plenty of fluid (DD told me when she was not wanting her milk by refusing it so I tried water/juice and she loved it and that was the end of baby milk in this house!) Babies can live without food for 6 months as long as they have plenty of fluids :eek: that is what the doctor told me :eek:

rainmac - thank you!! I am going to make a big effort for November though if everyone is going then - I would love to meet you all. Its just the getting there that puts me off but hopefully will be organised for Nov for oh to drive. There was lili of the valley last year at Harrogate - mmm looking forward to it again - their things are gorgeous.

Ali no doubt a lot of us will be going in november aswell :j would be lovely to meet you! ... I have just bought the offbeat pad, in 6x6, they are lovely!! If you just want smaller packs then try https://www.craftie-charlie.co.uk as they do half packs, and try me packs aswell at a cheaper price.

I have made a card whilst bunbun was visiting tis on my blog

Thank you all for the warm welcome and yes I am sure I will have lots of questions so standby folks I am going to have a go at 2 mother's day cards so will try to post a picture tomorrrow if I get them done. I am getting frustrated as I am restricted in what I can make as I am limited to using freebies off the internet and recycled cards at the moment (cant justify the cost buying things like stamps,inks, embelishments etc at the moment) Cant wait till I do have a bit of money to spare I will definately stock up then! Love some of the designs that you clever people have done, and I have found the part 1 thread really useful, so thank you to those people who have gone out of their way to post the useful links and things.

I bought some drawers for storing my promarkers from the range £3.99 for a set with three drawers they are silver metal like mesh . I bought 4 sets but i have only used 2 so far and thats for over 80 promarkers .Just the right length of drawer they fit nicely .
