Any ways i've not done much crafting this week unfortunately as Aaron has been here quite a lot this week as he is struggling at the mo with the events of the last few months. I have managed to make a card though with the help of my grandson Caid who has to come up into my craft room whenever he visits, he also goes home with more crafting goodies ever time he comes lol much to daughter dislike as she isn't at all crafty.

Here's the card we made today i've coloured the image Angel from Crafts and Me HERE with copics that one thing Caid isn't allowed to touch lol.


The papers are Sweet Fairy collection from Prima the flowers we made our selves using a Martha Stewart punch as are the leaves and the Butterfly punch you can get HERE at Crafts and Me, oops i've just noticed the pearls in the bottom corner best put that right now.

An Update on Stitch and Aaron

Good evening folks no card from me today just an update on my cat Stitch and my son Aaron, Aaron is back home after being admitted earlier this week with chronic stomach pain they have discovered that he has a problem with his liver which they gave him some IV meds for but he had a reaction to the medication so they had to quickly withdraw that and gave him a big dose of steroids and adrenaline, it seams that since he was stabbed last year he's had one problem after the other and we are all extremely worried about him and he is also extremely depressed which he is now being treated for.

My cat Stitch is doing well after his surgery he is home with us now but we have to keep him in a room on his own as he is not allowed to go up and down the stairs or out side but he is lapping up all the fuss lol, he has to go back in a few days to have his stitches removed.

I also had an appointment yesterday with a foot surgeon and I have to have an op to sort out my left foot which should be done in a few weeks time and I wont be able to drive for eight weeks oh my god how on earth will I manage that I hate not being able to drive when my RA flares up which seems to be most of the time just lately unfortunately, but at least the op should ease the pain in that foot.

Our bathroom is now finished and looks fab, my MIL can now get in there to have a shower too, it was quite funny today when Caid Lexi and Keely came round Caid stood with his hands on his hip and said but were is your bath nanny lol.

Anyway I think I've bored you enough with all of our goings on lol, I hope you enjoy your weekend what ever you have planned.

Stitching at Crafts and Me

Good afternoon folks its me again lol this time it's my Crafts and Me DT card but before that I would just like to thank everyone for their best wishes for my cat Stitch he is doing ok I have been to see him today and he is eating and enjoying everyone making a fuss of him hopefully he will be home for the weekend.

Onto this afternoons card I have used one of the gorgeous Melody Stamps only available from Crafts and Me HERE this one is called Daisychain Melody i have also used the flower border stamp from Whiff of Joy Fall Grass you can also get that from Crafts and Me HERE the butterfly punch you can get HERE the Daisies are from Mulberry crafts the ribbon and pins are from my stash.
