Pool Party

I had a day off from my blog yesterday partly because of my tired and grouchy post and partly because I had a play with some new goodies due to be released in September. Shhhhhh don’t tell anyone I told you.

So back on track again today with some summer fun.  This one is Pool Party by Mo’s Digital Pencil 

Swimming was my passion when I was young, always on the school team and I was swimmer of the year and even had the opportunity to swim for the County.

I kept the card pretty simple and coloured it with Copic markers and used the Grosgrain ribbon from Ribbon Carousel as my embellishments

Gosh so many entries, but we do have a winner.

Thanks you to everyone who entered those that didn’t win, I can assure you they are a worthy buy as the colours are simply gorgeous and they all work so well together.

Promarker Blog Candy

Well as the Olympics came to a closure I thought it would be good to end the blog candy for Letraset Limited Edition ProMarker Autumn.

They consist of the most gorgeous colours too, so some lucky person is in for a real treat.

It will be something to enjoy now that the Olympics is finished although i think we should all get behind the Paralympics too. I only hope it gets the coverage it deserves.

I’ll be back later today with the winner of the markers so stay tuned.

Christmas Cross

I have so many religious friends and at Christmas Time I always want to send a meaningful card to them, there is so many cutesy images but try to find a religious one that is not nativity can be a chore.

This is another from Just Inklined  Clear Inky Stamps

Christmas Cross available here

I kept it clean and simple, stamped with memento ink and coloured with Copic Markers.

Tired and Grouchy

As many of you have asked how I’m getting on with my back pain I thought a little update was in order. It ranges from unbearable to manageable but either way it’s not good, I have got an appointment but not until next Friday, I could have had an earlier appointment but wanted a certain doctor who knows the history of what is going on.

I have however occurred some other complications which I won’t go into at the moment as chances are it will set me off feeling sorry for myself and I just can’t go there.

Chris does most of the stuff around the house and often tells me to sit down and even making dinner has sits between, not sure what I’d of done without him, he’s a keeper.

I have at least something to look forward to as we are off to the Proms in the park next Saturday so I will go with back rubs and heat patches in hand.

Oh yes I nearly forgot, I had my hair done yesterday and I’m now brown, blonde and copper.

Thanks for keeping me going and the concern you show, I love you all. Mwoa big smooches.
