Hi Liz The card for the boxes was from the Paper Mill Shop in Mc Arthur Glen York, its really thick and perfect for boxes. I didn't have a template so it was a bit of make do, more luck than judgement lol If I get time tomorrow I will make another and take measurements, its a bit of patchwork too as the card was only A4. The base was 140mm to accomodate the envelopes and the sides worked out at 80mm just deep enough to take 20 cards and envelopes. Think I might have to take piccies to explain how I did them. I will get back to you.

OMG that cake!!
that dress didnt quite fit did it?
I really find that grabbing awful its so not right.
That poor little wee lass really didnt want to look after home when her sister married - I did wonder what the mothers did when the girls kept home?

I thought the dress was abit big around the bust - she was almost falling out and not because she was busty!

I'm surprised Social Services don't get involved. They drop out of school aged 11!!!

PONR - your sock elephant is fab!!

Well, I watched BFGW last night (Missed the first 2), omg - that was my thought as well where was the mum when the girls are raising their siblings and cleaning and cooking???

Right catch up later have a nice day ladies xx

Watched BFGW last night,wish I could have got my girls into the cleaning when they were little,I would have been a lady of leisure,where was the girls mother?we didnt even see her,just the daughters doung the work.
I was watching and colouring in my Sara Kay images at the same time,so maybe I missed the mum,sorry if I did ,lol.
Just posted more Sara Kay cards on my thingy if you want to see.
Going to read through the last few pages now,see you later

Morning ladies. I too watched BFGW and had exactly the same thoughts. Came to the conclusion that with that number of children the mother was obviously being dominated by the husband or searching for the clothes that they all wear as I think they must be very hard to come by - never seen them in my local Primani or TopShop!

Weigh in last night was a surprise I'd actually lost 1lb - so this week have decided to be super good and see what happens.

Flourgirl - I spotted the update in your siggy - well done

I made alittle order yesterday on Pink Gem for a few more sentiment stamps as I loved the ones I had ordered the other day. Also they had an extra 10% discount until midnight yesterday!!!

Booo!! OH taped the football last night and I was taping the Biggest Loser so MBFGW crashed!!! Was it good?? What happened??

What made it worse was he came in from work and said "oh I didn't mean to tape that you should just have deleted it and taped your program!" AARGH!!
