Thank you, girls.

Thanks for my lovely cards, girls. They were really lovely, all of them.
Thanks Karelyn for the little beads and Lynda for the gorgeous lace. I had none, so I was really pleased with it. and thanks to Patty and Steph for the phone calls too. It was great to talk to you.



I had to photograph Steph's separately, 'cause of the size. It's a gorgeous flag book.

There's some gorgeous cards there, Lou, and the fabulous flag book from Steph: everyone pulled out all the stops as it was for you, I'm thinking.

Sent the lace because you'd mentioned you had none. The thicker laces were some of what an e-friend sent to me for last year's birthday - hope you can use it, because it would be OK for 12 x 12 but too big for most cards.

Did you wonder what I meant about your card being a challenge? For me, it was because (a) I don't usually work in colours like that and (b) I'd never done the technique with the acetate before. For you, it was because there was glitter!

Glad we were able to brighten your day.

Lynda

Oh Steph!!!! well done! (thats well done for making another beautiful thing and sending it when she really needed it).

Lovely cards. Di M wins again (thats two running). (Stephs is excluded cos its in a class of its own)

wow lorraine some little stunners there , but you must try to forget nic and her forgetfulness/ selfishness for now and collar her when she returns .

What some fandabbydozee cards. I can't do a Maria and say which is best as
there is so many.
It's obvious that 'your girls' went to a lot of trouble.
I hope they cheered you up because of Nic. We all
love ya.

steph ,glad you're here i cant see the acetate in the flag book , where is it ??

ignore that i just spotted it , covered in flags /tags

I think I've missed something here. What about acetate ?
I made the flag book for your ribbon challenge Kim.
Lorraine has shown you the back of the book but on the
other side three ribbons meet to tie up and close the book.

Just wondering if I missed a little challenge because Di mentioned
acetate as well.

Ha, well you've lost me.!!!!

I took my cards to R & T's to show them and they thought they were all wonderful. Trev was fascinated by the flag book though, he'd never seen anything like that before.

Yes, you did all cheer me up. I really did think all the cards were lovely and knowing I have friends out there made all the difference too.

oops sorry it was lynda who mentioned acetate ,,,ignore me !!! its early and i only had 1 cup of tea

Me? Acetate? When? lol

The acetate mentioned on here was Lynda's card, presume flower stamped onto it?

Lovely book Steph and some smashing cards you had Lou.

oh dear i think we should all go back to bed

Well at least all the posts on this thread have made Lorraine laugh!! Your cards are all wondrous Lorraine, and hopefully it makes up for the total lack of thought from that blasted girl of yours! Just let me get at her!!!!

Ooh they are nice and that book is goreousness itself, double yum, well done Steph.
Agreeing with Maria, Di, Patty and Jan's are my top 3.

love the tag book wow someone put alot of work into that and the rak of the lace fabric is stunning too.
lolxxx

Richard, it didn't arrive sweetheart. I'm so sorry, but I don't know what's happened to it.

Today though, one from Kate and Karin arrived. I'll get pics later. Thanks both, ever so much. They're lovely and believe it or not, you've both used the same colours, lol.

Arrived today, Cath's and Richards. Thank you, so much. They're lovely.

Richard, the reason it didn't arrive, hun is because postage wasn't enough so I presume they kept it although I hadn't had a card telling me something was waiting. Anyway, today they delivered it anyway for me, even though the postie squashed it through the letterbox. Grrrrrrrrrrr. It was worth waiting for.

aww, more lovely cards there!

What a lovely assortment of cards.

When I didn't see mine I searched and found it still in my handbag waiting to be posted, so its on its way to you now, so sorry.

They're lovely.

More great cards. Very nice to see there is one from Karin. She's someone
else I miss being around. I know she does pop in but not enough.

Has mine arrived yet Lorraine.

No, Billie. Not yet, hun.

Your still at the same address, not like Kates where I sent it to the old one, do you have the same postman can you ask him about it, it is in a white box and the correct price was put on it.

Billie, I'm sorry for earlier post. Wish I'd waited just 10 mins. Postie was late today, but it's here. It's lovely, hun and even my mother said so, lol. Lovely decoupage and thank you so much for the blossoms and gems. They're perfect.

pretty basket of flowres there lorraine and billie

Lovely card Billie. Isn't it nice, having your birthday going on for extra day or two Lou!

aww yes, pretty card
