    Happy Birthday AliB - hope you have had a fab day.

    Thanks The Wife for the idea of using a small ball tool to score, i'll have a look at what they are and see if they look like something I may find easier to use.

    Thanks for the update Choccy on Rusty - hope she has now come home, and the morphine works for her and that she has a restful weekend. Did you get the cards?

    Popkins - I made this card a while ago for a cowboy/barn dance theme and still have the hat and the papers if they are any good to you.

    Paddington - thanks for the link to the freebies - they are very cute. Glad to hear you are feeling better with your teeth and eyes.

    Rainmac - what a stunning card you have made Rusty - wish I had half of your artistic talent for putting cards together - your creations are always so fabulous.

    Hope everyone has a good weekend. I hope the weather stays dry tomorrow as we are going to a Beavers camp fire in the afternoon - singing songs and eating hotdogs. Hope to make some more cards over the weekend though, and do my car boot next weekend.
    2016 is the year I am going to find time for me, and cherish the time I spend with my friends and family.
    It is also time to save - Aim £4,000 - So far this year - £230/£4,000

    Popkins - I have cowboy in training from bugaboo that was a freebie if you still want it - PM me your email if you do.

    I paid for my tooth in advance Marg think they knew it was the only way I'd go back :rotfl: book book book yep dentist chicken here :o.

    Made a card with this freebie tonight but can't get a decent photo - soooo cute bunny
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p

    Ok - taking notes as I am going lol.

    craftygranny - congrats on the birth of Jessica and Sophie.
    Tired mom - thanks for the link for the X cut punch - It is the one I want but the postage is very high on that site!!!!! I will hold out and see if another site gets them that has cheaper postage or a free postage offer!!!!
    ScattyJan - hope the house viewings go ok. Are they in South Glos???
    Hassy - hope your back is better today. Lovely card by the way!
    CT19720 - I have the MS scoreboard and I am left handed as well. I find that sometimes the scorer slips abit although it is getting abit easier. I hold the scorer down quite low. I've also used an embossing tool to score as well and this works. I think it just takes practice and I really need to use my board abit more!

    Happy Birthday to Ali B - hope you had a great day x

    Lovely cards made by everyone for Rusty.
    Woooo I have spent the whole evening catching up on posts and blogs. I feel exhausted now!!

    Can someone pm me Rusty's address please - thank you!! - Thanks I have this now - thank you to Hassy and Lei!!

    I'M HOME!!! :j :j :j :j

    21 pages to catch up on but that will be for tomorrow to give me something to read!!

    Just wanted to say thankyou to all the ladies who got in touch by text to keep me sane and also for all of the beautiful cards, not sure if the injection has worked or not, it definately has released the burning which was crippling me but the pain is still bad. I am currently sporting a zimmer frame!! :eek: something I could never imagine doing but it is an absolute god send!!

    Massive thankyou to CT197290 for the card and choccys, Rainmac for the beautiful card (where did you get that image? I want it!!) Sweetbabycakes, Tomsmum, Gemm and also Choccy for the beautiful cards, I cried over each and ever one of them, you are all so kind. xxxxx

    promise to try and catch up when I am not so spaced out! xxxxx
