The Paper Shelter *Seeing Red*

Good Morning folks! why are some peeps so bloody nasty my MIL sits in a chair all day with her flipping feet up and me waiting on her hand and foot and then she comes out with nasty remarks I sometime wonder why I even bother,I'm so pissed off I could cry and it wouldn't be the first time either, I wouldn't mind but I struggle sometimes sorting myself out when my RA plays up like getting dressed I cant walk up and down stairs like most peeps do I struggle but that does'nt seem to matter to her I feel like flipping screaming at the top of my voice but that would just give me a sore throat and hubby does'nt say a word I know its hard for him as he is stuck in the middle well no he isn't cos I dont even bother saying anything to him now and I feel so miserable.

I would like to everyone for their lovely comments regarding my cat he is doing really well now, he's driving his brother mad wanting to play all the time lol.

Well I think I have moaned enough I have a card to share with you today its my DT card for the Paper Shelter and a big thank you to everyone that joined us last week but you must use a Paper Shelter image to win the prizes you can of course still play. Right now on to my card I've used the Goth Girl and the theme this week is seeing RED well I dont normally use much red as I always have probs when I do colour with it but the are called challenges for a reason right lol.





The papers are Bearly Mine and I'm sorry I dont know the other one off hand, the flowers are from Wild Orchid crafts the leaves are a Marianne Design creatable which I love, the sentiment is from Lili of the Valley and the ribbon and pearls are from my stash.

Petal Melody

Hello folks I hope you are all well and enjoying your weekend even though the weather is pants lol, we've had to take our cat back to the vets this week for them to drain his bladder the poor thing just as we were going out of the door he started vomiting and pooping and making a horrid noise, oh my goodness what a mess so they rushed him out the back to sort out what was wrong the vet then called us back into a room and well I thought that was it but no even though he was mouth breathing and cats dont and shouldn't do that unless they have gone into heart failure well it turns out that he had a really bad reaction I'm not surprised as they never even numbed it at all, anyway we eventually got him back home with us and doing ok we still have watch him all the time but he is eating and peeing on his own, so keep your fingers crossed for our poor little fur baby.

Anyways that's why I've not been about much this week, any how i have a card to share with you today and its using one of the beautiful new stamps that Teresa has in stock at Crafts and Me this one is called Petal Melody isn't she just so pretty and dont forget if your registered for the New letter you get 10% discount on selected stamps there's also some of the other gorgeous stamps that you've been waiting for being released so pop over HERE and take a look you wont be disappointed.

Update on Stitch my cat and a sneaky peak Updated

Sorry its now a long post.
Good morning folks I hope you are all well!! for those of you who have asked about my poorly pussy cat(Thank you so much) he is doing well they didn't operate in the end as he managed to pee and poo on his own but they said he's still not out of the woods yet he could end up still needing the opp, we have to watch him like a hawk as he can eat only the special diet which has been prescribed for him but our other cat mustn't eat it as it can cause him harm, oh what a night mare he's on tablets and gollop that we have to squirt down his throat so our poor baby Stitch has a bald belly and leg where they shaved him too, its odd as he's not going out much either he is using the litter tray which he's not used for years so we had to buy another one but he's worth all the trouble as he is such a funny cat too always up to mischief. The picture below is stitch in our bathroom sink that's where he sometimes likes to sleep lol.



Now then hopefully I'm on my way to the Stamparama show to meet Teresa from Crafts and Me, now she doesn't no that I'm going as I never know if my RA is going to play up so I waited until Saturday to how I am and I know a couple of the other girls are going too and I get to see my gorgeous little Alfie today too anyway here are a couple of little sneaky peeks at a couple of little gifts I've been making to take with me I cant show you the whole thing as the recipients haven't received them yet but when I get home I'll show you.

Well here you go peeps here are the note pads that i made for the girls i had the pleasure of meeting our lovely Teresa and Tracy hello again girls and i also meet Teresa's lovely hubby and daughter's next time i'll come on my own and stay longer lol,and they had the pleasure of meeting our little cute Alfie and my son Aaron this was Alfie at Christmas. Unfortunately i never got to meet Trish perhaps next time lol.




This is the that Teresa picked the image is Fragile Heart, the flowers are Martha Stewart punch and the papers are First Addition Sweet Owl.





This is the one that Tracy picked the image is Forever Rose the Martha Stewart Flower punch again and the papers are Pink Parfait from Forever Friends





Well that's all I've got time for I best get an early night for a change catch up with you all soon.

Crafts and Me Challenge *23*

Good afternoon folks, well its not good for my poorly cat we had to rush him to the vets yesterday as he was crying making terrible noise any how they kept him in as he cant do a wee or a poo poor thing i just spoken to them and he's still not been and he wont eat in there either if he's not been a wee by four o'clock they are going to drain it from him and he at a disadvantage as he has a heart murmur too, please keep your fingers crossed for him.
Updated well they sent my poor cat home to see if you would pee at home as he was getting very stressed in the vets, well we got him home an hour and a half later we had to take him back, the vet we saw this time said he should have been kept in so they have tried putting a catheter in but that was a no go as his bladder is blog well no his little boy bits are blocked so they have now drained his bladder with a syringe so not to damage his kidneys!!! they are operating first thing in the morning they have sedated him too as he is very stressy cat anyway.

Its also time for another challenge over at Crafts and Me Challenges the theme this time has been chosen by our super talented Tracy and she would like you to use Red on your creations nice and easy for you.
For my card I've used Hannah Lynn Marna-fairy she's only available from Crafts and Me HERE I just love this stamp she is so pretty dont you think as you can see I had another go at a different fold again I've also made the box to match. On the bottom where the two different papers are well there is a pocket there so you could pop in some money or gift vouchers ect.

Teresa is sponsoring this Challenge with a £10 voucher to spend in the Crafts and Me store
