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
 Huge Hugs

Update and Thank you xxxx

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

Just a quick Hello

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

In the Pink yet again......

Hi Lovely bloggers :)
Well not sure if you missed me! but I sure have missed you. Had a rough few weeks but feeling a bit brighter today so thought I would post my card for In The Pink ....Dies & Punches Challenge. You can use either or both, I just used dies on this one as I hope to add another entry if i get chance and want to use punches on that one :) I do hope you will call on the girls and join in the challenge, they really would love you to support the challenges, they love Pink Christmas cards too :)) so no excuses xxxxx
This was a great challenge for me as I just love using both, If Santa brings me a sack full of dies & punches I will be one very happy bunny indeed.
Anyway onto my card which has the adorable image "Connie" from Sugar Nellie, coloured with Promarkers this time, Lace from Stash and the swirl dies are Joy. The frame dies are my all time favourites (can't bring name to mind...doh!    A loft job to find the box I am afraid. This is the trouble when I take them out and put them on Magnetic sheets.

not too chuffed with her hair..... a bit yellow...lol

but suppose the way I have been feeling its a miracle its anything near decent....lol

Simple insert awaiting Sentiment

Thats it!  Hope to get around to pay you a visit later today. I have so neglected you all, please forgive me :~ I didn't even have the computer on for 6 days...yikes! must be really ill....lol

 Hubby is taking me to supermarket in the car as its blowing a gale and pouring down here.

 Stay warm everybody xxxxxx

huge hugs xx

CAS Pink

Good Afternoon Lovely bloggers, This is a fairly quick post today as I am going to fit in a million things today. I am so behind this week as not been feeling too well.(awaiting dreaded Camera test)  Yuk!!.... but on a happier note On Wednesday my 2nd Grandson moved into his first home so I couldn't miss going to have a peek at that :) its a lovely 3 bed house and its  very well decorated so he doesn't have to worry for a few months, give him chance to get over the shock of paying a morgage..lol. Its got a beautiful large fitted kitchen, he just needs something to fill all the cupboards! we bought him a lovely set of pans but I have a feeling that they will only be used if his girlfriend calls by and cooks him something. Den thinks he is more likely to drain his car oil in them than cook :O  I would kill him....lol  Its so good to see them getting on well though. That's two of them on the property ladder which is wonderful, it takes some doing at 24 & 25 the way things are. You can tell I am a Proud Gran can't you...lol
It is a real concern though, wondering how the young ones will manage with jobs and homes, We are so blessed that ours have both. I am so aware its not easy for kids these days, Good jobs are so hard to find.  :(
Well onto my Card for today :)

its a CAS card for the In The Pink challenge, I hope if you haven't entered the challenge you will go across and join in. Our Lovely Pinkies are so sweet and I love to see their challenges supported. Drat...just noticed I have got glue on the ribbon, so I will try and change that asap..if it will come off without damaging that is :~
I used Pink Co-ordinates cardstock, 
sentiment was a Sheena Douglas one.
Ribbon and buckle from stash.
Catch you soon, will try and catch up on your blogs as I flit in and out today.
 Huge Hugs To everyone who needs one.xxxxxxx

A very first for me....Thanks Lisa

Here I am again, two posts in one day..thats a first to start with I think. Well I said I would try and post my first ever Book card so here it is. I know its not perfect by any means but I promised Lisa that if I was just half happy with it she would see it :) if it was a total flop nobody would never see it....lol
I kept the embellies simple as I wasn't sure what to do with it once I had the actual card made up :o
This post is a bit photo heavy sorry xxxxx

I think it needs a sentiment on the front..do you???

I also need a nice sentiment to go on the left hand side, when I know if and who I am giving it to.

Well Thats it for tonight, I am off to finish a bit of crafting with Amanda before she goes home. We had an hour off to watch the dancing and have a meal, so need to finish off now.
Huge Hugs Everyone.xxxxxx
