Afternoon all, quite a nice day today although a little chilly

Whilst waiting for the nurse to arrive i made this little card 

My poor son now has an infection on the op sight so more antibiotics, i really hope it clears it up and is not anything sinister, in the meantime i'm still playing nursey running up those damn stairs, definitely need to move to a bungalow.

I have had a bit of a rough week with Son being in so much pain but he was finally taken into hospital yesterday and had is op, he is now home and in the care of the district nurse, trouble is though my knee and hip are in agony as i play nursey for him lol

Anyway my card for today is a spring one and was so nice to something really fresh and happy

Morning all

Not having a great few days Son has been in agony with an abscess that has returned and will most probably need surgery again

I just about managed to get my DT project done in time, for this fortnights challenge over at

Our theme this time round was chosen by team mate Debbie which is to use 

* Texture *

I started with some embossed card then added a strip of corrugated card and ribbon, then added brads, flowers, leaves, feathers, charm and a bow, think there's enough different textures there
