    whoopidoo - posted about half hour ago and it hasn't shown:confused:
    Can't show a piccy as don't have digi camera (on birthday wish list!) but I've sorted it now. Took the bull by the horns and after a bit of practise on odd bits of really thick cardboard I used an old braddle to make a hole and found some thin brown suede ribbon, threaded one front and back to tie it together.l Seems to work thank goodness. I was worried about making the hole in the wrong place.
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !

    That's something I haven't tried yet. Done cj's but haven't put a whole book together myself.

    Just finished my latest rubber duckie - eldest wanted a pink cupcake one so that's what it is :rolleyes: REALLY pink. But she likes it so that's ok *g*

    Dawnteabag - your page is beautiful - I love the flowers and grass. I'm afraid I haven't done ayn scrapbooking for ages, I got a bit fed up with my creations- they all seem so boring. I'll have some to do soon though when the little one arrives - hopefully he will give me a bit of inspiration.
