Wedding Invitations

Tonight Lauren came to cut out all of the scrolls for her Wedding Invites, I daren't do this until my back is on the mend and as time is of the essence Lauren is helping get then underway.

I'm pretty high on the pain killers but still managing to yelp as I move.

The doctor has given me something to relieve the spasms and it seems to be working and I had a good nights sleep.

Thank you for all of the well wishes.

Fancypants

What set out to be a normal Sunday turned out to be a very big challenge, I have had ongoing back problems for over a year now and Friday afternoon was the start of more than usual back pain, constant pain releavers and back rubs, I was hoping that I would awake fit and well Sunday morning but that wasn't to be.

Not only did I awake to worse pain but also my back kept going into spasms I went through the pain barrier in tears and scrambled my way round making a cup of tea. Normally Chris makes me a cuppa every morning whilst I pull myself together but he was on a training course with the Brigade.

By 11:30am I was back in bed, my Daughter got in about 3pm and madeher first Sunday roast all by herself (she did marvelous) Chris got in around 4.30pm and gave me another back rub with some Voltarol which helped.

So it is a miracle that I have a card to show you at all, luckely this is one I coloured on Saturday. I stood to make the card then Chris did the photography for me as he did with the previous 2 cards (thank you Chris x).


Todays image is Fancypants by A Day for Daisies, coloured with Copic Makers and Prisma Pencils, the big scallop border was made with the Tonic Studios Border System (fabulous bit of kit)
