things happens...


Hi everyone I bet you all thought I had disappeared didn't you...well despite all your prayers and well wishes and good thoughts the thing we were dreading happened so over the last few days we have been trying to get our heads around it...don't worry its not life threatening or anything like that but it is life changing so it will take a little while for us to get a grip off...I cant really talk about it in depth atm as there are family members who don't know and it wouldn't be fair to them for them to read it on here would I...all I can say is please please please keep sending us those positive vibes...we really need them atm, we are trying to stay positive but its super hard sometimes isn't it...right now back to posting I think...oooohhhh the weather here is so yucky today there is hardly a drop of light in the sky and its being like evening all day long hence the rubbish grey photo...so apologies in advance...what have you all been up to since I last spoke to you?...anything exciting or super interesting...go on spill the beans lol...right now for my greyish card for today...how cute is this little fella, look at that sad little face...only Mo from Mo's Digital Pencil could draw this cutie...hes called Broked B C and I coloured him with my usual distress inks and yes I am still struggling along with that paper lol...the lush papers I used for my card are from the Basic Grey Fresh Cut 6" x 6" Paper Pad I got from Bunny Zoe's Crafts and all I added to finish was a few gorgeous yellow buttons...I was going to add some ribbon but didn't think it needed it...what do you think?...the lush sketch is from Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 challenge and I'm also entering it for the Doodle Pantry Challenge and the Fairy tale Challenge too...I'm off to sample some lush home baking now and then an evening in front of the tv...what you been up to today?...I will speak to you all bright and early tomorrow and whatever your up to for the rest of the day have fun

the angel and the demon...


Good morning everyone I hope your all well and having a brilliant week...did this ever happen to you...I was sitting watching an episode of 999 Whats your emergency last night and the ambulance was called to an 87 year old man whose wife had collapsed as he was making her hot milk for bed...she had died and he was just in total shock and started crying...well my flood gates opened and I sobbed and sobbed for that poor man, the pain he was in brought my Mums death flooding back to me and I couldn't stop...sometimes we just need a cry don't we and of course me being a soppy sod couldn't stop lol...I thought about him all night long though and hope he was ok the poor man...I count my blessing every day for having my lovely Dad around and cherish every day with him...we all should shouldn't we...right enough ranting Mina lol...onto my card for today which is using one of my favourite Diane Duda stamps from Sugar Nellie...this is the beautiful Peace Angel...I stamped her in grey and coloured her very softly with my distress inks, I wanted her to look faded but I'm not sure it worked totally, what do you think?...the amazing paper is from the Halloween paper pad from Fancy Pants called Oct 31...just goes to show you can use any papers anytime doesn't it...I love the rich deep purple of this ribbon don't you, I bought it from a local craft shop...I finished my card with a heart charm and a few scattered pearls...I made the sketch up as I went along and am entering this  for the A Creative Romance Challenge, Imagination Crafts Challenge and the Doodle Pantry Digital Challenge too...oh and btw if your wondering where the demon is have a careful look at the paper lol...I'm off out today with my lovely Dad for a little bit of retail therapy, hes buying himself a new TV so that will means looking and pondering a few times...hes a very careful buyer bless him lol, then I'm off a hospital appointment 'groan'...have a brilliant day and I hope your all staying warm
