Hi Folks, First let me say Welcome to Sue my new follower :) its great to have you aboard Sue, Thank you to all my followers I am thrilled and happy to read your comments and hear your news. xxxxxxx
I hope everyone is safe and keeping warm. We have a light snow fall at the moment but nothing drastic :) Its giving us a winter wonderland look but I don't suppose we will get snowed up as we are by the sea.. I hope Amanda doesn't get snowed in though as she is due to come and have a craft day tomorrow. Her Hubby has been home off the rigs for the past 3wks and what with me and hospital visits it feels like forever since we had a play day, It was long before Christmas :(
Well I have made a card for the challenge over at
In The Pink.. Luscious Lace I must admit I made 3 before I decided I had to be happy with one of them, So I have decided this is the one I am entering...lol
The paper is crafty Individuals..Shades of summer,
the stamp is called "Take time" which is a wooden stamp that I love.
Flowers are Wild orchid and Lace from stash
Don't forget to pop over and join in the challenge, you still have lots of time to use that pretty Lace that is crying to be used.
Huge Hugs..stay warm and stay safe xxxxxxxx
Hi Everyone,
Just a quick post as its got a little late and the curry smell is now getting to me, The chicken has been marinating for hours and my mouth is watering..(lets hope it doesn't upset my stomach/ ulcer?.lol
Anyway here is a card I made earlier and I am going to enter it into the Sugar Bowl challenge..Anything goes The Image is one of the Adorables and she is called Grace, I love her and she is lovely to colour. Hope the photo is ok as I was out this morning and missed the light. We went to the opticians and when we came out it was throwing it down with sleety rain....yuk! we got soaked to the skin.
Catch you later xx
Happy New year Everyone,
Its so good to be back blogging, I hope the New year has started off well for you all and that it continues that way throughout 2013.
Keeping it brief, my heart investigation went very well. It was discovered I had a second by-pass graft that had failed but it appears to be making its own blood flow supply through minor vessels so with medication and good care it will hopefully improve like the first one. Also suspected I may have another Peptic ulcer so will get that sorted.Thank you so much to those that sent good wishes and said prayers, I am so very grateful.
Now to get back to Cardmaking :)) I have been playing over the past couple of days and decided I would keep things simple till I got back into it...and till I could get all my craft things out again. I thought I would never find them ever again after hiding them away at Christmas, Anyway this is what I came up with, I used to join "Less is More"challenges when they first started but I wasn't much good at them I guess so I gave them up as a bad job....lol Well I decided to have another go, but still not sure I have improved at all :0 I stamped the border panel with 3 different stamps from Urban Botanical print matted the panel on Black card.
Challenges entered.........
Less Is More...Black & White with a dash of colour
Simon Says Stamp...Black & White with a splash of colour
Thanks to all my Lovely Followers for all the visits, comments and love you have shown me throughout 2012
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas. xxxxxxxx
update.... Had Red Flag appointment to Chest pain clinic, had stress test on friday(treadmill) showed unstable angina am now booked to have a Angiogram/Angioplasty on January 4th, Please pray that it can be sorted without Re-doing my By-pass op. which is high risk.
Hope I am back with you early in 2013
Have a wonderful Christmas everybody xxxxxxxxxxx
Hi, Lovely Peeps, Thank you so much for all the lovely get well well wishes.You have no idea how much they have helped me.
I also wanted to say a special Thank you as well for the Lovely Birthday cards that I received for my Birthday yesterday.I love each and everyone of them. My dear hubby was blown away at how kind my crafty friends are, especially at this time of year too when everyone is so busy, It just amazes him!!!
Sorry I couldn't pop on yesterday to say thank you, but on Friday Den and daughter Amanda had to call the paramedics out to me with chest pain so I spent the day in hospital....like a pin cushion now...lol Thankfully not another heart attack, just changes to my usual Angina pattern we think, Will need to get that sorted and discover why. Yesterday was a very lazy but nice birthday, A house full of flowers :O and lots of lovely dies :)
So just wanted to Thank you all for your Love and support and good wishes. I luvs you all xxxxxxxxxxx

Hi everyone,
Thank you all so much for your kind wishes and love, You really are the very best.xxxxxxxxxxxx
Eventually had the colonoscopy after abit of a false start! My heart has took a turn for the worse these past weeks and been playing up. The nurse as she called me in must have realised I was really unwell and decided to do a ECG and BP check. She took the reading off to the consultant and he came and gave me the option of aborting the procedure as my heart was under stress, or he could do it with the risk I could have a heart attack during it!! What a decision eh!!!!! Now saying all this..I had had two days of h*** taking all the preparation and starvation on top...How do you say tatty-bye I am off home......lol So after a chat with hubby, I went ahead with it. All the extra machines and care and attention was brought into play, he also kept me wide awake so I could tell him of any chest pain.
Results....All Clear...Yippee !!!! we are so happy that at least I can rule that nasty out :) Now I need to go back to my heart specialist and get checked out and also further investigations to sort my tummy problem................ OK I bet you are all saying what an old Croc... She is a right-off ......lol Well you watch this space I will be back like a spring chicken before you know it :~
I will try and do a little commenting but I am afraid I'm not well enough to get my crafting out at present, I just want to sleep!
Sorry for none crafty post but had to let you know how it had gone after the lovely messages you all sent me, I was so emotional reading them.
You really are the best in the world. xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Huge Hugs Mau xx
Hi Lovely Bloggers,
So sorry I have been missing and got no comments or crafting done.
I have so missed you all, but have been too poorly to even blog.... Spent more days in bed than out over the past few weeks. I really can't be doing with it, I hate not being active!!
I am going to the hospital for the dreaded camera test tomorrow so maybe that will find the cause..yikes!!
I just wanted to say Hi and send my love to you all and say sorry for not calling to leave comments. I am going to try and do some now before I go back to my Bed and electric blanket :)) Have to be up at 6 in the morning to take the second sachet of gunk...unless anyone is offering to take it for me :) I told Den he should have it as we always share everything...lol bless him.
I really hope that I can be back crafting very soon, hope you will stay around, I promise to try and call on you as soon and as often as i can. Its like being cut off from your nearest and dearest :(
The Christmas shopping has really taken a back seat too, I bet everyone is finished and I am not even a quarter of the way.
Well I am off to have a long awaited peek at what been happening in blogland.
Huge Hugs and thanks for calling by, It really is a joy to know my lovely followers have stayed and not deserted me.
Thanks so much lovely peeps.xxxxxxx
