I've not done a lot of crafting as since last Wednesday had a lot going on. However as you are probably here cos you want to see my desk only I will add all that to end of my post. Don't want to get in trouble with the lovely Julia who is the founder of WOYWW and the reason we go peeking at desks everywhere each Wednesday. Why don't you pop along and join in the fun.
Apologies for quality of my photos as well. Was not feeling my best when taking them.
A bit blurry I'm afraid. I was just finishing off this card for my Nephew's wife. She is going to be 30 this week. Still looks like a teenager. I have put a tiny 30 on brad in flower. I have made quite a lot of cards using these colours and elements. They were going to be part of a class I was supposed to teach which kept getting cancelled. I gave up and decided to use everything for cards I wanted/needed to make.
Now a massive WOW to Sandra who was the lovely lady above me on week 208 and who sent me an ATC. Well I say ATC she sent me a special book with several ATC's in it and space to add some more!! It is gorgeous and I feel honoured to receive it. Thankyou doesn't seem enough.
The front
Onto the inside.
A close up of the decoration on the front cover. Isn't it wonderful? I will have 4 other ATC's that I an add to this beautiful book - a lovely way to keep this 4th Anniversary ATC's.
Also wanted to say hi to Lucy who became a follower last week. I'm not sure if you have a blog though Lucy. If you have and let me know I can follow you.
Well that's it for my desk. I will visit those I follow regularly, those who leave me a comment and anyone ending with same number as me.
Last week I told you about my mum and her blackout. Some people have kindly asked how she is. She is still staying with my sister although she wants to go home. However she says she keeps having 'funny feelings' so not advisable that she is home alone especially at night. She is getting better though.
Last Friday I had a small op. Had to have General Anaesthetic but was allowed home the same day. The op went well although I was told that what they did last year was not successful. They tried something else but I may have to have further work, more traditional surgery which will not be nice!!! Watch this space. I then developed a really painful throat, roof of mouth. So we were back at the hospital on Sunday to get it checked out. I have antibiotics for a severe throat infection and also oral thrush ugh!!!! Not sure how that happened but it is getting better. The antib's are making me feel a bit down. I also tried to cut down on the painkillers but that was not a good idea as felt very uncomfortable this morning. Taking my medicine again now like a good girl and feel lot more comfortable.
I think that's it for now, am sure could rabbit on further but you are probably losing the will to live by now. See you soon.x
Oh Anne, I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling so good since your op. Really hope the meds start to work soon and you feel much better asap. I am proudly showing off the ATC you sent me on my desk today....I love it and the gorgeous card you sent with it.

Hi Anne, the card is lovely and it is a very pretty colour. The ATC book is absolutely gorgeous - beautifully made and a super keepsake. Glad to read your mum is a bit better though clearly not ready to be on her own yet. And then there's yourself ... not so good. I recall when my son was a teenager he got a sore throat accompanied by oral thrush and the advice he got from the doctor was to eat dry toast ... apparently it helps clear away the infection. You could try it, if you can bear to eat dry toast, that is. Hope you've had a happy WOYWW, Elizabeth x #78
ReplyDeleteOh Anne, you have had a bucketful, haven't you?? Poor thing, I really hope the meds kick in and you start to feel better! That gorgeous ATC album must surely help, it's beautiful!
