Craftygranny - glad to hear the news about your girlies is all good.

Marg - thanks for taking on the task of the list

Thrifty - hugs, don't know what to say to you hun. x

PONR - hope you have a good flight home

Rusty - fingers crossed for your hubby, mine's just let me know he's got on his flight and should be home tonight - yay

Lei - love your card, I'm going to try with a folder I don't like, so thanks for the inspiration.

Tomsmum - love that car card

Sorry if I'm missing anyone - doing this from memory and I am shattered after the horrendous storm we had last night. I've blog hopped and left comments on all the lovely makes.

Tired mom that card is fab i love it.

Ali . The lucky dip stuff is great it's all really good quality . I thought it might be as they do sell good things . I wish i'd bought more but my o/h would have a fit. i have got quite a way on sorting out my room and am sorting out some space lol.

craftygranny

flourgirl glad you had a good day at work . i'd put too many pounds on working in a cake shop. i have more than enough weight already. Hope you're not run off your feet tomorrow.

RustyFlange

Flourgirl - I just sent you an email to say thankyou as mine has also arrived today!

Wanna-b-rich - Where is he flying from? hope he has a safe flight home!

I managed to make a card since I picked up DS from school. I think it is nice .... only problem is .... IT IS PINK!!! :eek: I don't do pink!

craftygranny

alicia has 8 more treatments to go then they have a graduation party for her before she flies home. They asked her today to choose what she'd like on her graduation cake. It'll need to be 10 feet to fit everything on. lol.

Kaitlyn went the post office today to post her package for marg. Next time she's going with grandad cos i can't keep my face straight.
She put it on the scales and dragon lady said are you posting another parcel to your little friend. kaitlyn looked her straight in the eye and said she's not my little friend she's my special friend like choccy. Dragon said i like choccy too and kaitlyn said do you know her . she told her it's very special and she better not lose it or let the postman steal it. All the queue were sniggering and saying aww isn't she cute. I was dying to laugh by now. She couldn't get us out of there fast enough.

Hi everyone
I'm doing the blogs, you are all so inspiring! I can't wait til I'm as good as you guys.

Anyway, I had a quick question. My cuttlebug has just arrived, but one of the dies is a Quickutz one, and says it's for a revolution machine...is that usable?

Thanks

Sorry Saucy I cant help with your question I am sure someone will be along in a minute to help.

Graftygranny, the story about kaitlin made me laugh, kids will always say things to embarrass you wont they. We are trying to potty train the youngest at the mo and keep reminding her at every opportunity wouldn't she prefer to wear knickers instead of a nappy. Well our hairdresser came round the other week and my DD was sitting on my lap quietly being a good girl while her hair was being cut and suddenly announced to the hairdresser "mummy's got knickers" Luckily the hairdresser thought it was funny and replied to her "I should hope so in this weather!" Love the pile of goodies you got from sarah's cards they look beautiful.

Sorry to be a pain with another question but please can someone help me out. What do you call the pieces of scalloped edged card (in various shapes square, oval etc) that you would use layered to put a stamped image or the centre piece of your card on? I hope you understand what I am talking about.Sorry to show my ignorance, I gather they are cut out bits from a cuttlebug or similar, but as I haven't got one does anyone know what they would be called and where sells them? Really really really want a cuttlebug but I know we cant justify the cost at the moment so have to wait till my birthday.
