Not been a great couple of days due to the pain in my shoulder and got physio again tomorrow so that will help..............not!
At least the snow has finally gone after a lot of rain so walking about will be easier now. We have had snow around since 17th December and although it's pretty it's been around far too long. The house still seem quiet after Will returning to uni but we will get used to it. I spent some time giving my craft room a good tidy up and will take some photos soon. I've also made a couple of cards just to stop me going stir crazy! I'm enjoying popping into your blogs too and picking up tips and gossip. Thanks for such pretty things to look at:)

LOVE












My daughter came home from town yesterday with a lovely present for me, she said it was to cheer me up after my operation. It's the word LOVE in red china letters, bless her. It looks great in the hall way and I was so touched that she thought to do it. She is still at school doing A levels so not earning much. Thanks sooo much Abi, you are a sweetie. It even made the visit to the physio not so bad :-)

I had a really good sort out in my craft room and finished an 8x8 album that's been laying around for ages, which feels good. I really want to complete all my unfinished projects this year so at least i've made a start. I found the following LO that a did a while ago but thought i'd share it as it's very fitting with our weather right now.

Cards to share













Well I got my bum into gear today and made some cards. The pain in my shoulder is still really bad and I have to face Physio again tomorrow so I needed something to take my mind off it.
Just had a play with Magnolia stamps,Prisma colours and scraps of paper. Maybe not the best ever but I enjoyed doing them. It seems odd being at home and doing things as and when I like as I'm used to working full time, quite nice in a way.

Physio

I had to go and have Physio on my shoulder today, after my operation last Thursday. Phew it was soooo painful, i knew it would be uncomfortable but boy I wasn't ready for that!!!!!
I guess it can only get better from here but it looks like it will be a long road. Other than that not much done today as the physio wiped me out. I hope to try making some cards tomorrow so I feel i'm doing something and not just sitting around and can then share some photos with you all.

A really big thank you to Linda for helping me to sort out the problem with my comments, great you sorted it for me so people can now leave comments if they want to. You are very kind linda

Son gone back to Uni


Well my lovely Son returned to his Uni in Exeter today:-( It already feels very odd without him, quiet but tidy lol. It's been lovely having him home for Christmas but it's gone really quickly, he was ready to go back though I think and that's the way it should be. He is having such a great time there, studying Economics & Econometrics. Well I think a bit of studying goes on inbetween the parties! A funny old day really, it really feels like Christmas is all over with now and the house is back to normal, if normal is a word you can use for this house.
The photo is of the kids at Christmas, just so you know who i've been talking about.

Thanks for the lovely ladies on UKS still trying to help me sort my blog, if anyone has any ideas why people can't leave comments still please let me know so I can sort it. Thanks:)

Pink Gem Candy


This may be tricky for me, adding a link in as I am a bit blonde but Love these stamps so much I must have a go.
Pink Gem are offering Blog Candy on their site I hope this link works. I had a few stamps from them over Christmas and they are really lovely so enter and good luck

Operation went ahead

Well, after waiting around all day on Thursday my operation finally went ahead. I got to the hospital at 11am and was asked to put my gown on at 4pm!! I was beginning to think they may run out of time and cancel but thank goodness it did happen. I was put out for around an hour and half and the used key hole surgery on my shoulder. It turns out my shoulder was frozen and the surgeon had the cut the capsules surounding my shoulder joint to allow me move movement. i've already had physio and it's b****y painful but at least it's been done, which has to be a good thing. I have loads of exercises to do which I must keep up with and will be off work for some weeks yet but I guess it's all positive from now. No photos to share today but hope to make some more cards next week as it's my left arm in a sling so hope I can work one handed!

I'm off to look at my settings again as it looks like people still can't leave comments:(
