    rainmac,

    well i went and looked at onestopcardcrafts the other day and you told me not to. Well my parcel arrived today i may be 30 pounds poorer but i have some more beautiful papers to stroke. I'm still waiting for a couple of items from them but the stuff i already have is beautiful. I got some lovely xmas papers so with luck i may get a card done this week. my poor hubby is sat shaking his head muttering no matter how much stuff you have you never have the right thing . anyone else got the same problem.

    Lots of lovely cards :D

    Am struggling to think of something to do for a Xmas card as I have very limited Xmas card stuff. Will try and come up with something, please don't laugh too loudly when you see my effort :rotfl:

    Bet you got lots of lovely stuff for £30 trisha! Your OH sounds similar to mine, "why have you bought more/ do you really need that..." :rotfl:

    How exciting polly, well done!!! Prize sounds fab :D I sent a photo of a cross stitch picture I'd made to a cross stitch magazine earlier this year and opened the latest issue a couple of month's ago and I'd made star letter, got a beautiful bouquet of flowers, was very chuffed :D
