Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

Nici

Hi guys, thanks to everyone who wished me well, it has really cheered me up coming on and reding everyones messages. I'm a complete muppet though and managed to scald my arm last night on top of everything else so I wasn't happy. But woke this morning and feel alot brighter, even managed to make a set of cards this morning so definitely a much brighter day.

Popkins - if you still need more ideas then google survival guides as these tend to be quite adaptable. I make up a kit each year at christmas for my daughters school teacher and it always go down well. If you have a Home Bargains near you it worth looking in there as well. I know ours had hyperchondriac stress balls shaped as giant pills for under a £1.

Giggle - try searching for the old DoCrafts robot wooden back stamp as you may be able to get that one quite cheaply now. Its a sort of retro old tin robot style but it very admired by everyone I've sent it to. If I can find it online I'll pop a link on for you.

Hugs and happy wishes to all on here. I'll check back later tonight and read however many hundreds of pages you have managed to write by then. This site is so wonderfully chatty but it does mean a lot of pages to catch up on all the time!

Dragonllew thanks and thankyou to Aimee

I am back, and really sore 12 pins/needles today! told her about pain in other leg so she doubled them and decided to add one into each foot just before the middle toe!! :eek: I hate feet and can't bear for them to be touched!! ... back to see consultant tomorrow so hopefully get some other answers

Nettie - 14 yr olds are bad enough without adding bikes into the equation!

Absolutely gorgeous weather at the weekend though I managed to burn one arm complete with tan lines! Spent most of yesterday sat in the garden cutting out my Greeting Farm stamps then stamping them about 12 times each lol.

Aww Rusty lovely photos of Maddison - she's gorgeous! Made me laugh but I bet most of us were the same as kids. I have photos of my little brother like that with makeup all over him, clip on earrings, hairband, loads of knecklaces lol I always wanted a little sister x

Seem to be up to my ears in things here at the minute have to get a piece of dt work done which I really don't want to do as I have no idea where to start with it, trying to get everyone organised as well as we go away next week just done one lot of washing and ironing and my back is killing me and now have to go into work tomorrow to discuss the OT report about me just what I didn't need this week.

Ooohhh not sure I like the new look forum?

Rusty, hope the needles help, I also hate people touching my feet xxx

Hassy, my hair is now about an inch and a half shorter and thinned out so much easier to manage.

Gemm, hope Lost was worth getting up at 5 for We're going to watch it tonight but I have a school meeting at 7.30pm and think my OH will start watching it without me :mad:

dragonllew, sounds like you're in pain, hope you're ok. Good luck with your meeting xxx

Sorry not caught up with blogs, will do tomorrow xxx
