good times

 

 



Needed to do a special card for a friends 50^th but was struggling to find something – when I saw this at Bugaboo Digi Stamps, it just screamed D at me *lol* So perfect!

A set of 5 atc's made for "Words of Wisdom" theme swap over at Peel Off Crazy, it was a 3 for 3 swap, but I loved the papers so much I didn't want to stop, they practically made themselves.

Dropping in to say hi to blogland, using computer at our local Library as we decided to say goodbye to that wonderful (not) institution that is Sky and are sticking with Freeview at the moment becasue, well, its free *lol*
We don't use our phone and nobody rings us *sob story* and the broadband package was free so we decided to stop Sky completely, and just watch 'noraml' tv for a while. (ie till we get bored!) Radical!

Only problem is that I can't upload any photos etc at the moment.

Its like pre war!

feeling blue...

Not much crafting (or anything else) being done as I'm not very well at the moment, Andrew thinks I have a virus, I think if I was a horse I would have been shot a long time ago and the doctor - well he doesn't think anything as I haven't been able to get an appointment with them, have been trying since tuesday morning. I can have a pre booked one for Friday 28th though.......errr let me think......no.

Inspired by a card whilst flicking through back issues of Crafty Stamper, I made this card for a colleague at work who is moving.

Another card, a different main colour - purple! Couldn't pass this weeks challenge by at Polka Doodles. Murtle would never have let me hear the last of it!! (and by pure coincidence I'm wearing a purple top)

Suffering from a bad epsiode of Depression this last week, resulting in a panic attack at work (they are so patient with me) and the Negative and tears spewing forth,  I have increased my meds up to try and combat it. I know they are starting to work as I am now feeling rather spaced out. (in a good way!). I should get used to the higher doseage soon.....

To occupy myself I made a card, ironically as the colour associated with Depression is black, I plumped for a challenge using white on white. Sounds simple. It wasn't.

Anyhoo, after two false starts, this is the card I came up with, the topper being part of one of the others I scrapped.
