Fingers Crossed

Well I figured I should be talking this through with my cyber friends so here goes.

Those of you that have been with me for a while will know that I struggle with a psoriasis and with psoriatic arthritis/fibromyalgia, today I am back to see the consultant for my skin, after feeling totally let down by the system and one doctor not talking to the other I was put on a drug called Acitretin basically the drug that I need is so expensive no-one seems to be able to give the go ahead for it. so reluctantly I accepted the Acitretin, only to find out that they can only keep me on this drug for 6 months so basically it is a stop gap drug until they figure out what to do with me.

To my horror I seemed to have every side affect that the drug could offer me and more of a horror reared it's head over the past couple of weeks. I'm starting to loose my hair. It's everywhere I turn, shower, sink, keyboard, desk, shoulders. okay no bald patches as yet but if it keeps coming out at the rate it is now then it is only a matter of time. I do have psoriasis on my scalp but not enough to warrant my hair falling out and the itchiness I am experiencing.

Chris is coming with me today, more for moral support than anything else but hopefully he will be able to get across just how much this is effecting my life now.

So friends please keep your fingers crossed for me to get a good result from the consultant, failing that I'm going to shave my head before the bald patches appear ha ha!

Penelope's Party Wagon

Party anyone?

This little lady is sure to be a big hit with whoever that parcel is for.

Penelope's Party Wagon can be purchased here and if you fancy her already coloured the talented Mo Manning has even sorted that out for you and she can be purchased ready coloured here.

I coloured her with Promarkers in aqua and pink shades a pretty ribbon and some Papermania patterned paper a spray of roses and a bit of love to bring it all together.

Waterfall Digital Stamp by Just Inklined

I kept the layout clean and simple for the Waterfall Digital stamp as it is so tranquil I felt that it didn't need a lot of fuss.

Coloured with Promarkers then cut out using the plain oval Nestabilities then using the largest of the scallop nestabilities I embossed the card and popped the coloured image in the center.

A couple of score lined and a silk ribbon and a bit of love to bring it all together.

Where did the years go? and more to the point, "who stole my figure"?

Beyond The Old Stone Wall is a fabulous scenery Digital Stamp by Just Inklined, so easy to colour and although I made this one into a card for a Father it would also make a perfect New home or even a Sympathy card.

Coloured with Promakers, Design Papers, Nestabilities a ribbon and a couple of buttons and a bit of love to bring it all together.
