    ooh haven't bought anything from madaboutcards for ages my last package took ages to get here.

    Mind you think i should keep my purse firmly closed popped in the range this morning with kaitlyn and spent a fortune. We did get 3 sets of stamps and lots of papers and punches. The hedgehog stamps and papers are really cute. I'll take a pic and blog it. lol That girl knows how to spend. lol

    Paddington so sorry to hear about your neighbour . I really feel for the children.

    I am still alive although very drugged still. Had helping hands come to visit but they weren't very helpful and can't really help but the good news is that with OH's help and lots of pain I have finally finished my card for padsters challenge. I am just waiting for OH to take a photo so that I can blog it.

    sorry still not caught up properly. I am completely out of it most of the time!

    Mumoffour So sorry you were disappointed with your fair and the low turn out. I've never done one and heard mixed reviews about them. Hopefully the next one will be better and you've got a head start on your stock.

    Wifey Super easel cards, I've left a comment. Both lovely but the pink one is my favourite as I is a pink girl :D . Actually, you could put the second one in a pink and green challenge over at Totally Gorjuss.

    Lyndach Number 1, but if you know the recipient is a teddy lover then I'm sure number 3 would go down well. Thanks for the list of challenges, I have a couple of sites I check but that is great for having a list all in one place.

    Craftygranny Great news about Carly :T . Your ribbon makes are beautiful!

    DTB
    Hope your interview/presentation goes well tomorrow. Good luck.

    Paddington So sorry to hear about your neighbour. It's always seems so cruel when a young mum is taken and the children are still young, life can be very cruel.

    This thread is getting longer as I type :rotfl: .

    Rusty, love your be-ribboned zimmer! Glad you feel up to posting.

    Right, that's about it I think.

    I've made a couple of cards today but not taken photos yet, will blog them tomorrow. I stuck some roses on one of them, not very happy about the big blobs of silicone holding them on. Any tips for fixing them and looking neater than my blobby silicone?

    OH's just come down from having a bath and weighing himself. He's moaning 'cos he hasn't put any weight on. He can have this half stone I've got spare and I've been trying to lose since it crept on over Christmas :rotfl: .

    Off to do a blog hop now, will comment as I go.

    I've gone for number 1 it just seemed more appropriate as it needs to me formal.
    The link for the challenges is updated everyday for all the new ones. :)
