Book Marks

Good morning folks well what a week stinking rotten cold which is much better now thank you so much to everyone who wished me better! yesterday i had to see a Chiropodist as i've been having probs walking as it is so painful to wear anything on one of my feet but she said there isn't a lot she can do because it is my arthritis causing the problems but she has strapped my toes together to see if that will help apart from that it means surgery, not really what i wanted to hear but will have to see what happens lol.

Anyway enough of my problems i've been making these lovely corner book marks and i'm just loving making them so i think a few peeps are going to be getting these as little tree presents lol, i am also entering them into some challenges i've used various images too some stamped some digi.

Good afternoon to all lovely peeps out there on this miserable grey day, well i was hoping to spend the morning with my daughter Keely and granddaughter Lexi while Caid was at play school but i was up most of the night in agony it turns out that i have a water infection so i'm on antibiotics now and my infusion is due next monday for my arthritis, so i may have to have it the following week. I did manage to drop Caid of at play school he started 3 weeks ago! he phoned me when he got home to tell me that he never cried at all bless him he's such a sweetie and Lexi didn't cry either when Caid went in today so that's a step in the right direction lol.
