    Not sure the link will work as I've never tried to add ones before!

    I'll keep looking incase I can find it cheaper...

    I have that stamp - your link is not quite right - its here. Well actually it belongs to "&son" but I'm sure he won;t mind if I borrow it.
    I'll gladly stamp some for you if you tell me how many you need.

    I have a question about the papermill shop. can you go into the shop and fill one of those boxes your self with the card you want? I need a3 about 30 in light pink then was going to add other colors in, I don't want to drive all the way if I can't pick!

    Gemm I have that one :j its lovely! :j that was the one I pictured below :)


    I have blogged DD's birthday cards, not happy with sentiment on bottom one but these have both taken me hours to make as I hand cut them with a scalpel! but hey who cares she will love them.

    Please can I apologise for not keeping up with blogs, I never expect anyone to comment on any of my makes, even more so when I don't do so on all of yours, just struggling to keep up with the thread and I do look just not comment. Sorry ladies. Please if I offend by not commenting please just shout at me I don't mean to do it I just give up with life in general at the minute lol

    ETA - Anyone know of any challenges I could enter the top card in for?

    Off for physio and acupuncture, best find a big book and get cracking and on my way with DD :)

    whoops sorry rusty didn't realise you had already posted that one earlier! great minds think alike eh ;) your blog cards are gorgeous, little missy will love them :)

    yes you pick it all yourself, its all on shelves around the edges of the shop so you just walk round and put whatever you can fit into your box! have fun, I always do! lol ;)

    Still suffering over here Mary, hope you had a nice time away? trying acupuncture under my physio, today was 12 needles, it doesn't hurt, and I guess it gives a small amount of relief but not sure if it is working or not? my view is anything that costs nothing has to be worth a try least I know then that I am trying everything possible!!

    Rainmac - I hate feet, I mean really hate them, the one in the right foot hurt today but after it was in it was fine, until I came to put my shoes back on!! OH has got me some lovely Dr Martin sandal thingys for the summer for my birthday they should have support as they have the proper soles on them so has to be worth a try!

    right now I am on the scrounge again ... has anyone seen a weight loss relates stamp preferably digi but has to be based around a male? my OH has lost 2.5 stone in 4 weeks I am so proud of him luckily his weight loss is slowing down which gives me chance to catch up cause I am hoping to start again on monday!

    ETA Flourgirl your roses are beautiful!

    Dragonllew love your card, not sure what they are called but so beautiful!

    Lyndach When you go to the papermill shop ask them for a loyalty card, if they have one, you can have it stamped for every £10 you spend I think..
