Besti Birthday

Morning all

I was going to enter this card in a challenge but can't remember which one so full of drugs lol the old mind is going as well as the back. 

I am off to my Crafty Mate Rachel's this afternoon Sarah is driving me there and then picking me up afterward.  Not sure yet what we are going to make but it will be good to catch up it's been ages since we met up.

Nothing much to report so will get on with posting my card.  I used a Sherri Baldy Bestie image these are so cute.

 

Well am off to get ready to go to Rachel's need plenty of time as getting in and out of the shower which is over the bath is painful.  We are having a new bathroom fitted next week starting Tuesday I hope, we are having a wet room put in with a seat attached to the wall to make it easier for me which will be great, can't wait.

 

Will blog a little later on when I have more time but really must sort myself out and I have to take it slow.

 

Love to All

Commissioned Christmas Card

Morning everybody

Hope you are all well.  I am much better today, although still in pain it is more bearable think that may be the painkillers masking it though but never mind on the mend and that's what is important.

Today's card is a commissioned card for baby's first Christmas I have used a Mo Manning image which is so cute and coloured with promarkers.  The papers are from Silent Night can't remember who made them as the front cover has fell off, netting bought at Hobby Craft as were the bows, lace came from The Hobby House, Snowflake I bought at Taunton beads came from stash.

I would like to enter this card into the Wednesday Inspiration Challenge  using the bingo card which is the challenge this week I have used the top row, Snowflakes, Glitter and Distressed

 Glittered Snowflake/ edge of Christmas Stocking and also baby's socks, distressed all my papers using the Tim Holtz tool

Am off to try and have a shower now hanging onto rails for dear life as my legs still don't want to do what I want them too lol. 

I will be back later to do a bit of blog hopping just need to sort myself out and have some breakfast as I got carried away making my card and have nothing to eat yet, not good when taking painkillers no wonder I'm feeling a bit high.

Love to all

Afternoon all

Hi everybody

Not much is happening at the moment I am taking it very easy and not doing very much at all, Alan made me promise not to do anything in the house except make cards which is what I have been doing, can't sit for very long but I have managed to make a card for the Crafting for all Seasons challenge number 64 the challenge is using autumn colours and I have used a Kenny K image that I have had for a while now, coloured in using promarkers and fleximarkers papers are from stash as is ribbon and the bits of bling and flowers I have used. Hope you like it

Well am of to have a cuppa before the gang get home, Alan is going shopping on his way home from work as I am not able to drive just yet but at least I am home and can relax a lot better than in hospital it was so noisy the food was awful but I know I was in the best place as I could not stand or sit because of the pain.  On the mend though now thank goodness.

Will do a bit of blog hopping when I have had my cuppa using my ipad that way I can sit in comfort in the living room.

 

Love to all

Thank you so much

Afternoon all

Firstly let me thank everybody for your well wishes I really appreciated them am now safely home and have made a card to show you today.  Lots of painkillers but at least I can now stand up and feel the lower half of my body thank goodness a bit scary to say the least.

Secondly I notice I have a new member so welcome Dawnyfox thank you for following my site. 

I have a card to show you today was going to enter this into a challenge but then forgot to distress my papers so am going to make a different one for the challenge and just keep this one to sell at my next craft fair. 

I used a pink gem snowman image they are so cute could not resist, the papers are from Bearly Mine, Snowflake is from one of the dies I bought at Taunton the little silver embellishment sitting on the bow was from the goodies I won from Natalie goodies giveaway, I created the sentiment on the computer.

 

well that's it for me for now can't sit on the computer chair for too long as it makes me hurt more that I already do

 

Will be back later to do a bit of blog hopping

 

Love to all

Good News

Evening all

Had my MRI scan and whilst there is no further degeneration and nerves not being trapped I am to expect these flare ups and there is no treatment except painkillers in the form of Tramadol and Morphine.  I had no sooner had the results back, Alan had just left to come home when they said I could go home.  Told them my daughter would pick me up after she had finished work as it is a 30 mile round trip from our house to hospital and Sarah was closer but she didn't finish work until 5 or just after, they kept coming over to me every 10 mins asking when Sarah was coming in.

I was also sent home with no pain relief luckily I have tramadol and oramorph here at home which my GP prescribes for me for my arthritis.  Hopefully I will be back crafting shortly.

Bye for now.

Alison

Update

Afternoon all

Just a quick update my pain is under control with the drugs, still waiting for my MRI scan so until we get the results no real news, thank god I can still communicate with the outside world, what did we do before mobile phones and iPads lol.

Well am off to do a bit more blog hopping hopefully I can give you all the results soon.  I just want to go home.

Well bye for now

Love Ali xx

Afternoon all

Not a good day waiting for ambulance to take me into hospital as doctor thinks one of my discs may be bulging and pressing against my spine so off for an MRI scan and depending what they find may be out tonight or need an operation lets hope going home is the result.
