Paddingtondoo - your Father's day card is fab - I love the black and white image!!!! Well done on your stash diet - when does it end and are you going to splurge when it does?????? Your cross stitch projects are lovely too - I haven't cross stitched for ages!!!!!

Npsmama - its good to hear from you!!!

Ali - I finally found my embossing folder so I'll try it out later and let you know how I get on.

Craftygranny - thanks for linking my blog - I was just about to do it!!!

Thanks Melissa - I'm hoping to last out until June payday which is the last working day in June but the Doncaster show is 27th so might have a little spendy then - not sure if I'm going to go or not yet though

I do have a little wish list though - although am surprised it's not longer :rotfl:

rusty - congrats on your win - please send some of your good luck down here!!
rainmac - thanks for the freebie links love the tea cup one.
melissa - have you tried your embossing yet???
craftyjuju - did postie bring your card swap??

OK I've read through and clicked thanks but completely forgotten to take notes so now I can't remember who said what!!??

SallyUK - I had a similar theme for a card recently so I made my own backing paper by printing off the lyrics from Queen - Bicycle Race. It went down really well with the cycling recipient.

Hope all the owies get better soon, especially ear infections, I used to get them a lot as a kid. My sympathies on that one. (Make sure he gets a sweet after each dose of medicine - honest that bit is really important, I remember )

Well I spent last night with my big shot cutting out lots of little felt circles with my new dies. I'm going to make fridge magnets with felt caterpillars on for my sons nursery fete (Their school logo is a caterpiller). I even cut out the card to mount them on with the rectangle die, I knew I needed them for a reason and not just because I like the idea of buying more craft stash!!!

I'm tired tonight after spending most of the day trying to tackle the back log of ironing (well it feels like most of the day anyway :rotfl:)

Hugs to all
Nici x
