Just a Boy

Morning all, well my sleeping pattern is getting no better, I’m in bed early now, mostly before 10pm that is actually very early for me as I used to struggle to be in bed before 2am, I am waking a number of times during the night and normally wide awake and bushy tailed by 3am and having to force myself back to sleep until around 5.30am, I am absolutely bushed to say the least, it is like walking through a fog.

This morning the whole household was up and having a cuppa by 6.30 and Natalie although still in a lot of pain is looking much better, she is presently as sound as a baby laying on the sofa.

I have started to pack up the Christmas decorations but need his nibs to get it all into the loft for me.

My card today is made using a digi stamp from Spesch stamps

Coloured with Copic sketch markers then teamed with Stampin Up designer papers and the lucious ribbon is from Ribbon Carousel  lurve… her ribbons, most are from Maya Art.

I’m hoping to pop to the local garden centre today as I have had my eyes on a beautiful wire Christmas tree that I’m hoping will now be in the sales, I bought a little pottery nativity from there just before Christmas which I love. So I’ll take Natalie along if she is well enough and we’ll have a coffee while we are there.

A Journey Best Forgotten

Well we had a very sober celebration which is fine by me a a half bottle of larger and I’m a bit sqiuffy. Hope you lot did it in style.

Natalie continues to get better and I took her for a bit of fresh air in the car, ha ha. To see out Lauren as she was missing Jack and then to my Mams, we didn’t stay long as i knew it would take it out of her but she was climbing our walls and needed a change of scene.

She did end up spending the rest of the day laying on the sofa but at least she had a good morning.

What I didn’t tell you all is that Natalie is a smoker and has now gone 5 days without one, in her words she is clamming for one but I have tried to advise her in the fact if she does have one it is putting poison back into her mouth and we really can’t chance the risk of her face being re-infected. I know how hard it is to give up but she is doing amazing and I’m so proud of her doing without.

I Figured whats happened to her should be Scrapbooked so I did a page layout using My Memories Suite 

And as we visited Jack this morning I made a page layout of him too.

Happy New Year

Wishing you all the very best that 2012 could possibly bring for you but most of all I wish you the very best of health.

I couldn’t even begin to thank you all for the support you have shown to me over the last year, many who have become good friends through my blog and I always feel so blessed to have such wonderful caring people dropping by each day and some of you leaving a comment to warm my heart.

I couldn’t bring in the New Year without a card so I chose Date by Mo’s Digital Pencil to start 2012 after all The new Year signifies New Beginnings.

I used the Tim Holtz clock face die and spritzed it with Glimmer mist and coloured the image with FlexMarkers by Letraset, Cuttlebug alphabet dies for the 2012 a Bo Bunny background paper and a pretty satin gold ribbon.

Happy New Year from myself, Chris, Natalie, Lauren and Grandson Jack.

Bless her Heart

Just look at what those gorgeous girls of mine organised for me. While I escaped to do a quick shop for more Natalie supplies, she called Lauren.

This is what she called her for, I think I have two very beautiful daughters, inside and out.

Aren’t they gorgeous? it was to thank me for taking care of her, totally no need for her to do this but I love them.

Natalie is a little dis-heartened as her face has puffed up this afternoon but I’m sure it is just part of the process to getting better.

On the Eve

A new morning has dawned and we awoke at 6am, Natalie had a reasonable night but was very ready for her meds this morning, the swelling in he face continues to reduce and all is well in the Heath household.

just to give you a visual comparison.

The first picture is just before her procedure

and the 2nd picture is this morning.

 

Still a little way to go but my God what a difference.

Chris is working all weekend so we won’t be awake to see the New Year in this year, I think we will be having an early night.
