Beary beautiful cards Bob! We're helping to make Christmas cookies next weekend!
Brilliant Bob! All that cutting looks like hard work to me but worth it in the end. Three Wise Bears - snort, snort - perfect! Di xx
You've obviously inherited your mummy's wonderful creativity, aren't these cards wonderful? I would be PROUD to display one of those, who wouldn't be? Maybe if you email me your address, we could swap cards this year?
ps. Windows Live Mail hates me, I'll leave my email here, and send my addy on once you get back to me!
