must be turning into concrete!!!

Haha you must be wondering with that title, well I'm feeling in a good place at the moment usually my happy bubbles only last for so long before I'm knocked off my shelf, but I really feel that the Reiki session I had worked really well. Plus the nice weather is helping too and of course a little mention too for my man cameron he is soooo lovely but hopefully he won't read this so he can polish his halo!!!!

emma's taxi service is knackered lol!!!

Sorry about the title but the brain is dead no change there lol. Cameron and his daughter Maya are home and me being the good person picked them up from the airport at 5am this morning, and I didn;t really get any sleep before as I was clock watching, so my mum has Adam and I am going for a little power nap so I can feel slightly more human once more. So lovely to see him again but luckily the week went really fast as been sooo busy.
Enjoyed making this card slightly different to my usual but thought I would give it a go and see how it turned out.

happy as can be!!!

Evening all and I really hope you have had a relaxing and enjoyable Mothers day. Again as usual I've been really busy and I've just finished redecorating my kitchen and I have to say it looks really nice its now painted in duck egg blue took a time but needed it, now wanting to do my lounge but that will have to wait a while. My session of Reiki seems to have really transformed me I'm really in a good place at the moment and feeling revitalised if that makes sense long may it continue although it may take a sudden nose dive when the ex comes up on Tuesday for the day hmm yes only a day to visit adam!! But apart from that life is good, oh another although lol Cameron is sunning himself in Turkey as we speak with his daughter, although he may be going rusty haha as the weather aint so good out there (i'm silently chuckling to myself).
I've also been given this lovely award from the lovely

This card of course I made for my lovely mum who came tonight for dinner and a bottle of wine oops.

flutterby

hello all hope the sun is shining where you are its really trying here and debating as well whether to hang out the washing on the line or is that just going to jinx things. Had another hospital appointment yesterday and they have discharged me on my knee as nothing else they can now do on it and I'm too young to have a replacement. So looks like I'm going to have to put up with now for a while yet. They are more concerned with my heart now and it was very obvious from what the consultant said to me yesterday that I caused a bit of panic especially when they had to jump start my heart again..as I've been told it could only happen to me!!!!!!!!!!!! So just wait for cardio appointment now.
Off to see Gnomeo and Julliet this afternooon with adam so looking forward to that and then Cameron shall be over tonight to look after me I hope lol!!!
This card was fairly simple to make and I think with black and white simplicity is sometimes best. Its being entered into this weeks challenge at:

i think I'm dodgy!!!!!

hi all, sorry yet again for the absense, as you knew my dad was up last week and although shattering we had a good time. But in this time I had another visit to the doctors and I'm now being refered to a cardiologist as I've been told I do have heart problems not the best news to of heard but I shall now await this appointment and all the tests to follow...the amusing thing is I've been told not to do much and take it easy hahaha thats not possible for me at all but at the same time the last thing I want is a trip in a ambulance!! Hey ho hopefully I can knuckle down and get some more cards made.

and another too!!!

Hi all and hope you all had a great weekend...I know I did after I got the best tonic and went out on saturday boy did it feel good to feel human again in the outside world, and also spend some lovely time too with Cameron. Thankyou all for the kind comments you have been leaving me really do pep you up when you are feeling low, and I'm hoping now my mojo is returning and the pain levels have decreased so I can sit longer now with the knee bent to get some cards made.

I've got my bum into gear!!

Hi all its only me!!!! Look I've made a card woohoooo, now you all might be all thinking I've had two weeks now since my operation I should of made lots of cards..haha well I had all so many good intentions but my knee just wouldn't allow it and the recovery has taken alot longer than anticipated. I have also since found out that I struggled on the operating table and my heart went out of normal rhythum so they had to pump me with drugs to get me back into a normal heart beat. Tallies up now why I took alot longer to recover and now I'm having to have tests on whats going on with my heart pretty freaky stuff! Hey ho on the good side I'm nearly off my crutches and I'm begging now to drive and drink again lol.
Anyway I'm hoping now that I can keep motivated now with lots more cards so here is the first card that was a comission for a friend that she asked me to make:

its only me!!!!

Hi all just a quicky as using the library computer as my laptop gone off for repair, and thats pretty much in the state I am at the moment. Its all gone loopy and sat here with my crutches next to me as I had my knee operation last week so I'm all bandaged up crutched up and in pain and totally frustrated at doing very little indeed. Everything seems to of gone out of the window, blogging card making I'm feeling very down on myself and hate being so dependent on others. Still I'm hoping the operation was a sucess and it shall heal eventually. Cameron and my mum have both been so good to me seeing me in a state is no fun and I've not liked Cameron seeing me in a bad way....god knows how he still wants to be with me even after showering me and being such a good nurse haha.
I'm so hoping in the next few days I can get motivated to make some cards maybe if I shoved my crutch up my bum that might help haha
All I can do is apologise to you all for being so neglectful to each and every one of you for not being about I really hope to asap in the meantime be good be creative and hugs to all of you xx
