Oh! my goodness, I hope my wonderful crafty pals will forgive me for being absent for so long. I have been trying to keep up with what is happening with our renovation bits and pieces and to help as much as possible. Added to this I took a second tumble within one week in our garden and ended up with a suspected broken nose. I have had my knee replacement operation cancelled twice. I get so cross especially and this time when the doctor asked me if I wanted stronger pain killers I had to ask him if they would stop me falling down, if he doesn't get this sorted out this time he will get his marching orders.
I think I have forgotten how to make cards so this was a bit of a struggle, I don't think I got the embossing folder to produce what I expected. I will try to get around to some blogging in the next couple of days hopefully and then we start again, we have been so lucky with the weather up to now so fingers crossed that the dry days come back.

Hi Flora, great having you back. You have had so much going on it is no wonder you have not had time for crafting. Bet you will be glad when all the building work is complete, it has been a long haul.

Hi Flora,
ReplyDeletelovely to have back in blog land. My you have been such a busy lady
with all those renovations to contend with.
So sorry to hear you have had a fall. You go girl and give the old doctors what for, for cancelling your knee op. Pain killers as you say won't stop the knee giving way as it does sometimes without warning.
Super embossed card love the colours used. I haven't embossed anything for ages.
Have a wonderful crafty day.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Awesome card Flora. Sure hope you are up and running soon my friend.xx
ReplyDeleteHi Flora, love your wonderful card and lovely to see you back. I can so relate to the renovation works taking up time, we are over 9 weeks in and still no end in sight....sigh. I do hope the knee op goes ahead for you soon, had mine done 3 years ago and it does stop all the falling down business.... hope your nose is OK now too - you really have had a time of it! Take care and thanks for your kind comment on my new DT position. Hugs, Anne x
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card, I like that embossing folder, got that one myself, but not used it much
ReplyDeleteHi Flora glad to have you back with your blog, you have a great card. I love the background paper and fab die cuts.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!
Hugs,
Evie
Hi Flora, Beautiful card, Love the colours & design.. I do hope you have recovered from your fall.. sorry to hear the op was cancelled a second time.. lets hope they get their act together soon.. Take care, Hugs May x x x
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you back again Flora. Sounds like you've had an eventful time recently! Love how you've used your dies on this lovely card.
ReplyDeleteHope your knee op gets sorted out soon and no more cancellations. Doctors aren't always the most helpful people are they?
