time to get on with it!

well I am back in the harness...lol... and raring to go... have been quilling while i couldnt sit here too long... at least i could do that w hile elevating the leg....lol.. but i am now feeling great.. and starting to hobble round.. so i can at last come here and make cards...whoopeee!

getting there!

well my ankle might be fractured but I have found a way to sit and be happy making cards so here are some i have made over the past few days...nothing special but i had used all my thank you cards for my amazing colleagues in the choir who looked after me with such love and care!see you soon!

out of action!

Well I will be out of action for a couple of weeks... I fractured my right ankle.. during a choral workshop on saturday.. and I wasnt going to miss a thing so strapped it up and iced it...lol.. then went to A&E that night... so no cards for a while until i can sit at the desk without discomfort.

my first try for the STVSCVD01 challenge.. I wanted something colourwise that i wouldnt normally chose. hmmm ... not sure about this one

I found some Jac paper ( double sided adhesive paper) and used a doily to emboss with gold glitter then blue . it looks ok... this is for the STVSCD01 challenge

my first attempt at soot stamping.. and I like this technique.. rather like polished stone one never knows what its going to turn out like.
Gotta stop fiddling and get down to some birthday cards today though.

This picture is the result of 50 years of seaching for my sister Pauline.. in the process I found my brother Dick, un aware that I had any other siblings.
Sadly a common story during the war years.... but here we are ! me.. Dick and Pauline reunited after 60 years... life is GOOD!

card block!

Its been so hot and humid today..and I wanted to start putting together some ideas for the sketch challenge.. but my mind is empty!.. so I spent the day having lunch with my daughter and my best friend.. sooo.... relaxing...lol... maybe tomorrow I will make a start..

Birthday cards

Well.. its a quiet day here so time to get started on the family birthday cards for March.. Wish I could take them to the UK instead of posting them...we have missed so many birthdays.. never mind its a pleasure to be able to celebrate them now!

making time!

Where has this week gone... over so fast, and hardly time to make a card.. but with some family birthdays coming up must make the effort. The weather has been so hot and humid too... well ..thats my excuse.. but just wait til my new stamps from Gina k arrive.. then I will be a busy bee!
