Missing in action.....

 Hi everyone, are you all well, I hope so.

You may or may not have noticed I have been missing this last week, well, last Thursday I  went in for my first Op; it went pretty well and I managed to get home that night. I have been through hell since, I never thought for one minute it would be this bad. Anyway, it is starting to ease alittle and I am not in as much pain since they added Morphine to my meds. I just wanted you to know why I haven't been to your blogs, I am sorry and hope to be back asap, or when I can sit for longer anyway.

A big 'THANKYOU' to the very few friends I told what was happening for the support and cards and the other day I actually got a Bloom and Wild delivery, such a surprise and such beautiful flowers, I was amazed.


So for now thats it, I am hoping to get dressed in my day cloths in the next couple of days, yep! I haven't worn anything but pj's for a whole week :))

Have a lovely weekend, love to all and take care of yourselves.

Another tag, hope your not getting bored.....


 

Morning and a happy Sunday wherever you are.

I made this one obviously from my favourite tag ever now !! 

I have these paper napkins for Autumn, well October anyway. I cut one up and made it to fit the top tag, modge podge all over the place, grabbed some ribbon, also autumn colours, wired edge of course, ( does anyone else find with wired ribbon sometimes the wire catches your fingers and 'ouch !!) every Christmas when I re-do my door wreath I end up with a nick or such like, worth it though....anyway back to the tag, then I got some of my gold string and tied that round and unravelled it abit, a Tim Holtz word sentiment and done, I just love the colours I really do.


Thats about it, I will enter this into the Tag along and ATC challenge HERE

Enjoy your day, its very misty and damp here, I woke at 3am and looked out and couldn't see a thing the mist was so dense, I kind of like it though :))

Tag time and a surprise I received....


 

Good morning lovely people, big smiles please, life's to short and even though the weather is having a hissy fit this weekend we just have to smile we are all still here, haha.

***********************

Recently I saw a blogging friend use these tag dies, I just loved them but couldn't find them, so what did my wonderful friend do, cut me some and when I say some, a whole bunch of them, along with other things and some stencils, I was so surprised, honestly it made my day it really, all this while she has been suffering herself, thats blogland as it always was don't you think.....Chris, biggest thankyou ever, I won't forget this in a hurry..



Right then, so having the tags I had to make something for the new challenge over at Tag-along and ATC, the theme is autumn, join in HERE 


I lightly inked up both the tag and the die cut leaf, I did cut lots but then just used the bigger one for some reason, I splashed some gold and white (couldn't find my red ink ) then got Tim out of the drawer and added a sentiment I thought would suit. It says 'what seems ordinary is often the extraodinary, enjoy today. So there we have it, don't you just love those tags, I am going to have fun with them I can tell you.  The only thing is I think it needs more colour, but watch this space I shall be sorting another one out, I do love the autumn colours.

Speaking of Tag along, I got a top 3 pick with this tag 

Rather pleased with my little chubby self about that, haha.
OK thats about it for today, I will try and get back asap, in the mean time, batten down the hatches, we are in for it over the weekend, take care all and stay safe.

Having a play.


 

Good morning lovely people, after abit of a hard week, I got to have a very short play around yesterday. I mean 'quick' haha. I have this word stamp on my desk waiting to be used so I did just that, layered it up on some brick paper also laying around and bobs your uncle, a card was born, haha.

That it for today, I am taking things slowly, mainly because I feel so tired all the time, but we have to try don't we.
Enjoy the weekend, ours is very wet and windy so far, I don't mind I have nowhere to be.
Thanks so much for your visit.

Christmas is coming......

 


Morning to all, hope all is well. 

We are waiting on a storm coming in, as I look across the fields toward the sea its very dark and stormy looking, thankfully I have nowhere to be today so its hunker down and stay warm.

I made this card after seeing one of Mo's DT use the door in a similar way, she had merged a few images which is always fun, I decided to just use two, the door and the boots from Santa.


Coloured with PM pens, for the brick stencil I used TH ink, the sentiment is from an old stamp set, layered up on gold card.

Thats about it, I really like the look of this and was happy to find some inspiration on Mo's blog, my mojo has gone walk-about.

Hope you like.

BTW, remember asking you all about the daft number of visitors I was getting on here, some of you agreed you were having the same thing, well this last post I did has now got 1909 views, haha, how can that be with so few comments.....the mind boggles !!!!!!

Tag time...


 

Morning all, are you all well, I hope so if not take care.

I made this yesterday for the new challenge at Tag along, I do like this monthly challenge, its fun and easy and you don't have to pull you hair out, :))

Just a simply tag, lots of stamps used, some inking up, TH inks btw, the sweet Butterfly was from a pack I bought ages ago, they are rub ons and I placed them on card stock first then cut around because I wanted it to look like it was flying, then bright ideas hers put it on a wobbler, not sure it was the right thing to do but anyhow...oh I couldn't get a video of it doing its thing, don't ask me I have no idea why it won't load up but there you have it.


Also added a sentiment strip from one of my Tim Holtz books, its says, 'With brave wings she flies', sweet I think.

Another pic; of the wings on the wobbler. lol.


Think thats it, I will be entering this into the challenge at Tag-along and ATCs HERE

Had a little play.


 

Morning lovely people, hope you are all well, if not big hug to you, be strong.

I had a little play with some stamps and added some stickers, die cut it with my tag dies, which, btw, I forgot I had and put  a TH safety pin in the top, I have hundreds of these  and don't use them much anymore, ...does anyone else have stash that we all bought when the going was good and now they sit in a drawer doing nothing, silly isn't it.


I stamped a train on it because the challenge at Tag along and ATCs this month has been travel, I hope you can make it out.

Obviously will be adding to the challenge HERE 


I have two things to ask you while your here. First of all do any of you know these markers, I have had them for years and they are really great, no idea where I got them and they still work.


Second question, the last two weeks I had had 450 odd people view my blog, I am more than surprised as I really don't get traffic like I did once upon a time and the comments are still the same, nothing changed there, so can anyone explain, it makes no sense, is blogger cocking things up once again I wonder.....

Right then, thats it for now, be back as soon as I can, am still managing to come to your blogs don't know how it will all be once the real treatments begin but fingers crossed.

Have a good bank holiday weekend friends.
