Thinking of you...

Hello...I can not believe it's Friday again.......
Two lots of news to tell you ...
Went to the doctors about my hip/knee pain which is getting  me down...big time...saw a gorgeous doctor...not good when you are a old  lady!! but I can dream...and had to take off my trousers...lol....Anyway he a bone doctor at the hospital in Ipswich....so it looks like I got the right man for the job ....and I got to have a new knee...which I said I would think about it...

The 2nd news is I still waiting to move and I thinking about pulling out of the house in Shoeburyness and renting for 6 mths...It will mean moving twice...which will be a pain....but hopefully I get some where I like...and be near to Keith and the owls...and will be a lot easier journey  to see my brother in London...

Right on to the card....All the card from Hobby House...Spellbinders dies...flowers Die-namics and Sue Wilson... Sizzix flourish..and some pearls...

Thank you for lending a ear on my update and the time to leave me a comment... Keith will be here over the weekend with baby bird...so I will take some more photos and you can see how she/ he is doing...Joolsx

Hello....Well the nice sunny weather did not last here in Suffolk...It's been raining all night....and Its the last day for the painter.....just the gloss (well satin) bits to do now.....And had a phone call yesterday...that my new bed will not be here until the end of week....as the shop is waiting for my carpet to be delivered and that is to go down first...

Today's card is for a Buddy over on D.C....She should have got Wednesday one!....
Again its a image from Sugar Nellie from the little art book from Hobby house.....coloured with Promarkers.....and cut with Die-namics oval die.....

Sunflower Hat.....

Hello....Well the painter is here starting  on the hall,stairs and landing...gone are the days when I use to D.I.Y....much easer for me to get "a man in"

Today's card was going to be for a friends birthday....but someone else has taken it as they fell in love with the image.....
The image is from Sugar Nellie....and use to be stamps only but now Hobby House sells them in a little art books to colour....coloured with Promarkers....all the frames are Tonic and the card from Papermill.....I used a  die from Die-namics to make the flowers and using the big centre die made them look like sunflowers.....leaves are from Memory Box....

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments....nice to know I'm not talking to myself!....Joolsx
