Sad day

 Afternoon Everybody

Sorry its been so long since I posted yet again but have been really busy with family.  It was my birthday yesterday so had a lovely day, Alan took me out for lunch and then Sarah came over after work with cake lol.   

It is a sad month for me as I have had to give up a couple of my Design Team Spots, Polkadoodles Gem of a Craft Challenge and Allsorts Weekly Challenge Blog.   Due to other commitments I was not able to keep up with the commenting and was finding it difficult so after much discussion and deliberation decided for my health and the teams it was best that I resigned.

I have made a card which I would like to showcase, I think I told you all that I was buying a Gelli Plate so have had a bit of a play think I need to keep watching YouTube demo's as I don't think I have it quite right yet but here is a card I came up with, used the Gelli Plate to create the background and stamped the flower.  I really need more practice.





I am out this afternoon and early evening at Sarah's so will try and comment on everybody's blogs tonight when I get home.


Love Alison

I would say that background is perfect Alison, I love everything about it and your flower with it is just gorgeous, love how you placed the gems too :)
So sorry to hear you are having a rough time of things, I had to quit some things to just to keep my sanity and I feel much better now, hope that helps for you too.
A very Happy Belated birthday to you too, and may you have many more wonderful years ahead of you!

Happy belated Birthday Alison, glad you had a lovely day.
Your health must come before DT roles, crafting is supposed to relieve stress not cause it, and the upside is that you will be able to make the cards you like.
Your card is really beautiful, the colours are lovely and such a pretty floral image, you take care of yourself, Kate x

A beautiful card Alison, very pretty.
Wishing you a belated Happy Birthday, I'm glad you had a lovely day.
Sorry to hear that you have had to step down from some of your design teams, the commenting can be very time consuming, it is one of the reasons that I stepped down from all of mine.
Take care.

I'm late everywhere this week, those few days in hospital have totally thrown me, but now I'm here so pleased to see you got to play with your Gelli Plate and with great results.

Glad you had a good birthday, and sorry you've stepped down from Allsorts DT - we'll miss you

My name is Cecilia Benjamin and I am writing from the city of Denver Colorado. Am really grateful and thankful for what Dr Jekawo, a man with herbalism knowledge, has done for me and my family. I Was having HERPES for good three years with no solution, the diseases almost took my life because I lost my partner and I was also losing lots of money for medication, but one faithful day I came across a testimony about this great man so I decided to give it a try and to God be the glory he did it. I received my herbal medicines through dhl, he cured me of my diseases and also cured my cousin's prostate cancer. I am so happy and so pleased to Write about him today. If you need his help in any health or spiritual related issue, reach out to his email address drjekawo@gmail.com. He has cures for other deadly diseases like Diabetes, Hiv/Aids, Hepatitis,love marriage, Osteoarthritis,Multiple Chronic Conditions,Cardiovascular Disease, Dementia,Alzheimer's disease,Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,Chronic kidney disease, and Cancer. Dr Jekawo provides a total cure.
I guessed this is the least I could do to help.
