what no colouring ????...

Good morning everyone I hope your all well and happy...we went to the Docs yesterday and my poor lovely Dad must be so fed up with Doctors offices and hospitals bless him, his liver function is way way way too high and the Doc says hes needs to go to hospital for more tests, a scan and an ultrasound so we just have to wait for an appointment (yet again), the receptionist at the Hospital must think my Dad has shares in the place lol...of course hes still cheerful and we had a giggle sitting reading the 2 year old magazines in the waiting room...he was so gobsmacked at one of the dresses in the mag I was reading and he shouted 'who on earth has £400 to spend on a frock' and everyone looked at him...I started laughing cause he said frock too which made them look harder...he really is such brilliant company and has a wicked sense of humour...I love him to bits...my Sister is coming down today to pick him up to stay at her place for a week...he has fun with her little ones there and there's much more going on around him too...it does him good I think, you all fed up with me worrying about my Dad yet lol...right now onto my card for today, I used the fab Greeting Farm Hoo Loves You set again, I love these gorgeous little owls and the sentiment is from the same set too and would you believe (now don't all faint) no colouring, except for one of the owls yellow beak the owls are paper pieced with these amazingly lush papers from the K & Company Julianne 6x6 paper pad, this pad always inspires me to create it has such beautiful designs in it, everything is from Bunny Zoe's Crafts...I cut some of the lush blue roses out for decoration and to finish...the fab sketch is from Sketch Saturday...I'm going to try get a hair appointment today which means a trip to Town, so fingers crossed I get one as I'm getting my busted sofa look back rapidly lol...whatever your up to today have a brilliant one

Sheila in Cyprus said...

Awh!! What a cute card. Love that paper too, a gorgeous shade of blue.
Hope they manage to get your Dad's problems sorted soon. I am sure he won't be given any time to think about his problems whilst at your sister's, children are an amazing 'pick me up'. In the meantime don't try to dwell on things TOO much!
Take care
Big hugs
Love Sheila x
