* Update *

Hello all

Just thought i would give you a quick update.

My Daughters leg has miraculously healed and won't have to be removed but she now has to wear a special splint made for her so thats a big relief although.. secretly i think she was hoping they would remove it because of all the problems it causes.

We also finally managed to get her mobility scooter mended so she is back on the road again so if you live in the Gt Yarmouth area look out lol.

As you can imagine the last few weeks have been very anxious for us all and to top it all my husband has not been well and may have to have an operation on his shoulder, so crafting has been the last thing on my mind but hopefully i will get back into it soon.

I had a birthday a few days ago i won't say what number.. lets just say it's only 2 away from the big 60 lol, but i just wanted to thank you all for the kind thoughts & comments left for my daughter and for the lovely cards and wishes for my birthday.
Thank you all xxxxx

* SS Birthday *

Afternoon everyone

Unfortunatley we had some upsetting news this week in that my Daughter broke her ankle falling over her new puppy, the hospital have warned us that her ankle may not be saved because she has had so many operations on this leg in the past that they can no longer distinguish which is bone and which is callous so as you can image crafting has not really been on my mind but today i have thrown myself into it to try and forget the problem for a little while and i know this is naughty as its a little late but here is a card i have made for this weeks Sunday Stampers which this week the theme is Happy Birthdy.

Hi all

This months tag swap on Hels Angels Forum is cute so for my first one i have made is using my tilda stamp, the tag is messed up as i call it lol with yellow & green splodges, ribbon threaded on side and a few embellies added.

My second tag i used my little ballerina Black Penny stamp, used pink & rose inks for the splodges, threaded ribbon all round the tag and then added beads on the ends of the ribbon.

For my final tag i used my new Daisy & Dandelions stamp, smudged the tag with orange ink and finished off with ribbon and jewels.
