update

Just to let anyone who may have missed me at WOYWW this week know, I haven't deserted you all, just not well enough to join in. Following my recent tummy bug that knocked me for six, I now have pleurisy. I have no idea how or why, but there you are, so once again I am on strict rest.
Hope to be back with you all again soon.

Big Big Thank You!

To all of Julia's WOYWWers. I have had loads of comments and emails wishing me well, and I would like to thank all of you for taking the time and trouble to send wishes and encouragement to what is, after all, a complete stranger.....what a wonderful bunch you all are. Have felt stronger over the last day or so, so am hopeful that I will soon be back to normal. I wish there were a way to thank you all properly, please know that each and every comment has been treasured.

WOYWW...

Hi everyone, still not up to crafting yet I am afraid....well not strictly true, I had to make a card yesterday for my best friends birthday. I sat at my desk for ages and nothing happened. Not and idea, no inspiration at all. I eventually put a card together, which was horrible (she loved it, but I didn't). It wasn't my normal standard and did nothing for me at all, and I forgot to take a picture too. Or maybe it was a subconscious thing....I don't know.
Sorry nothing to show you, will try to do better.
Please pop along to the stamping ground to see some much more interesting Wednesday Desks.

I'm chuffed!!!

I entered my first ever challenge with an easel card a few weeks ago, never done it before...and guess what?? I got a top 3 mention. Thank you all at Crafty Ann's Challenge Blog.

I am still not feeling to good and am not yet up to crafting again, so won't be entering the current challenge....but I will be back!

WOYWW...

Hi Everyone,

First thing I have to say is a big apology to the High Priestess of WOYWW, Julia at stamping Ground. Sorry I missed last week Julia, I have been poorly so I have a sick note Miss! I won't go into too many details, don't want to make anyone else feel yuk, suffice to say I have been quite ill the past week with a virus that hit from nowhere last Tuesday night. I didn't get out of bed again (apart from being taken to the loo!) until Friday night. Still can't eat so feeling very week and dizzy etc. Lost over a stone in 4 days (bonus!). So trying now to get back on my feet, but haven't got back to any crafting yet. I have some photos to share, which would have been last weeks effort as they were taken just before I fell ill. I hope that is ok for this weeks entry.

Luckily for me I had got ahead of myself with up and coming birthdays. I made the football card for my cousin's birthday, he is football mad and plays in a good local team. The football was cut on my gazelle and paperpieced.

The other card in progress is for my Mum to give to My Mother and Father in law for their anniversary coming up soon. It's their 60th. Quite plain and simple really, just cuttlebugged for embossing and a decoupage image.

Pop on over the stamping ground to check out everyone else's desks.....
