Tuesday – Day of prep and travel.

Sunday – Day of rest.

I’ve got 4 hospital appointments this month so far. 6th I have to go back for bloods (on-going problem), 18th  I see both Rheumatologist and the Dermatologist that should be fun as appointments are one after the other, 26th I have to go to get measured up for walking sticks.

Fans Cricket

Well, I made it back with a card, I am getting back to a manageable state again with my back so I nipped in my craft room and got a card made up.

This image is Fan’s Cricket by Mo’s Digital pencil she’s a real sweetheart isn’t she?

I kept the skin tones more Olive toned to give the Asian skin tones that I needed.

Coloured with copic markers and Promarkers and prisma pencils ( I like to mix and match)

The ribbon is a 7/8" Solid/Ivory Check Ribbon from Ribbon Carousel 

I’m still taking things easy but things are a little more rosy now.

The Wedding

As I told you the wedding was held at Matfen Hall and what an amazing venue it is, it was a beautiful day for a beautiful couple and here they are, Gary and Bailey.

My official photographer was Chris and boy did he snap up some photographs, I think he worked as hard as the hired one (well not quite)

I had a day off from the healthy eating plan and was snapped up eating a strawberry dipped in the finest chocolate yummmm.

As it was the boss that was getting married I thought it was fitting to have The Workers all in one photograph, the exception being those that couldn’t make it.

From left to right, Jim our Artist, Tom stock and warehouse manager, ME, Jonathon IT whizkid come prankster, Ellen Shop manager, then Laura who does accounts, receptionist, packs, helps me, makes teas and coffee and keeps a touch of glamour in the office.

I have loads and loads more pictures but won’t force them onto you in one go.
