I'm so sorry to hear your husband is poorly and that must have been one hell of a fall. Thankfully you spent Christmas with your son's family and two grandchildren and goes without saying your lovely mum!. It's really lovely when I get a new crafter joining my blog, it makes it so worth doing, I can't think of a more gentle pastime, and it's lovely to know you enjoy it too.<br /><br />I look forward to seeing you again soon, hope you get some positive results for your husband.<br /><br />Happy New Year Sandra<br /><br />Big Hugs<br /><br />Tina XX Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00247293237576060706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011417721014442767.post-65230554252833949592015-12-28T08:56:35.751+00:002015-12-28T08:56:35.751+00:00Hi - I'm new to your blog but I'm so thril...Hi - I'm new to your blog but I'm so thrilled to have found it! This card is simply stunning! I've examined each photo up close and love how everything flows so beautifully together. I just recently purchased the Cinch and Go flower dies so I haven't had a chance to play with them but I see such possibilities and will be watching for your video and future flowers. I love the layers you've created and your color choices are fabulous. I'm fairly new to Creative Expressions and Sue Wilson products but I've been purchasing dies as often as possible. I'm recovering from complications of multiple fractures of my pelvis and shoulder so my crafting time has been extremely limited this entire year. Of course, that hasn't stopped me from watching lots of youTube videos and shopping online for new products. I receive so much inspiration from talented designers like you and hope you can feel how much you are appreciated for sharing your gifts.<br /><br />My husband and I had a very unusual Christmas this year. We weren't able to decorate at all and gifts were either ordered online or were gift cards. Just before Thanksgiving, my husband was diagnosed with a very severe heart condition. Combined with my injuries from a bad fall and we realized that trying to have our traditional Christmas was just not possible. We are waiting to hear test results from Mayo this week to find out if my wonderful husband will need a heart transplant. In spite of a difficult year, we had a special Christmas as we spent the day with my son and his family, including two precious grandchildren. There were lots of decorations, great food and holiday cheer plus my 84 year old Mother flew out to be with us. It definitely was a different Christmas but one we are thankful for nonetheless.<br /><br />I am looking forward to looking at your previous posts and look forward to seeing what you will share in the future. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01979760351192953287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011417721014442767.post-17084321046093970742015-12-20T17:10:57.568+00:002015-12-20T17:10:57.568+00:00Hi Tracy

My sister has stopped going for hers, personal choice. I tell her it's a ten minute test, but she is adamant. I will be thinking of you and will send you daily positive hugs, hope you feel them. If it's not too personal please keep me informed of your progress.

They are so very pretty. <br />I'm glad u went for ur mammogram it's so important I think. I don't know if u r aware that I'm going thru Brest cancer treatment just now. I was lucky to find the llump by myself after having a mammogram clear last year. I'm only 41 but I keep telling everyone to check their boobies!!!!

I will email you soon and have a chat, or I will ring you.<br /><br />We spent so much on Claire's wedding, and Craig is not likely to get married anytime soon so we gave him an amount to put towards his deposit for his new apartment and have bought furniture for his new home and the lounge carpet and a supa dupa wall unit is it. No more! he has had the same as Claire now, and his home is looking stunning or it will do when we finish it.<br /><br />So sorry you have been poorly Rose. Glad you have got rid of those awful chills. Claire has a horrendous cold at the moment and said she now has to cough with her legs crossed!<br /><br />I missed all Sue's shows and I am really hacked off about it.

I hope that the dies you have just bought turn out to be the new spellbinders then you can put a different set down on your list!<br /><br />Really sorry that you had to go through that awful ordeal of breast cancer and the dreaded chemo. I have watched my friends and Claire's bridesmaid go through chemo and it is Bl--dy heartbreaking. Luckily they have all fought that battle and I'm really pleased you have too.<br /><br />I still have sooo much to do, I might even have to admit defeat this year unless I use a stick of dynamite.<br /><br />It's a lovely comment you leave about my cards and I'm really pleased you have the same taste in cards.<br /><br />Oh how I would just love to see the sun for just a few hours, It's got to be a least 2 weeks now since we have seen that golden orb in our part of Wiltshire.

Fully agree with Jan(and you) mammograms ...Hi Tina,<br />Fully agree with Jan(and you) mammograms are a damn sight better than breast cancer. And men don't know they're born anyway! If they had to give birth the human race would be extint by now.<br />I have grown up with a much more sober attitude to Xmas inasmuch we got "presents" that we needed and one tiny one that we didn't. So I would have no hesitation to say that Baby furniture and carpeting the lounge are the Xmas presents.<br />I've been in bed for the past 2 days with a stinker of a cold, chills, the lot. Chills have gone now so I shall endeavour to write all the Xmas cards for England to make sure they go out tomorrow.<br />Oh and yes, the Platinum is the one I've always wanted. Cuts like a dream - did you watch Sue's shows where she explains more about it. <br />Hugs, RoseRose in Chesternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011417721014442767.post-22192073677153875742015-12-17T01:24:17.875+00:002015-12-17T01:24:17.875+00:00Hi Maureen

I was brought up in a very prudish home, and find it difficult to bare all to strangers and feel very intimidated. Thank goodness that's it for another 3 year's fingers crossed.<br /><br />Thank you Maureen, Claire is continuing in the right direction, and is looking blooming beautiful. Craig is enjoying making his house into a home with our help & bank balance. Bless Him! It's just lovely to see the look on his face when another job is finished.

I would love to know how your intricate dies pass through your machine. I look forward to hearing from you. Yes they are Becca Feeken dies. She makes some amazing cards.

This card is stunning. I can't just...Hi Tina,<br /><br />This card is stunning. I can't justify purchasing yet another set of dies...yet! However, I do think this set may go on the list. I looked at the flowers and thought they looked like the new Spellbinders one, which I have just bought, and hope i can produce flowers as beautiful as yours. Any tips?<br /><br />I can't help you with the Platinum machine. I am very happy with my Big Shot which I use with a precision plate. <br /><br />I really sympathise with you about the mammogram. I had breast cancer a few years ago so I am fairly rigid about having my checks every year... let's say that the discomfort of a mammo is far better than the hell that is chemotherapy. But enough of that.<br /><br />You sound as organised for Christmas as I am, and ours gets here before yours! That International Date Line has much to answer for!<br /><br />Thank you so much for the photos you post of your cards. I think we share a similar taste in cards but I don't have quite the same delicacy with my results. I will persevere nonetheless. I just want to know how you do those flowers!<br /><br />Warmest regards from Australia (and it is warm)<br /><br />Jan from NSWJayemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09890526763294788338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011417721014442767.post-42119412229294570842015-12-16T21:24:58.748+00:002015-12-16T21:24:58.748+00:00Hello Tina,

I love it.<br />Now as to Mammograms. I have never had one that was "comfortable", and I hate the part when you come out of the changing cubicle and have to walk over to the machine with nothing on your top half. It's degrading and unnecessary. I sometime wonder if they take a savage delight out of it. But now I am of a certain age, I will not have to go through the indignity and agony again YIPPEE. I know that I sound like a prude, but it's just the way I was brought up. <br />I'm miles behind this year, we have had a lot of upset and illness these last 5 months, so I'd better get myself sorted. And people will keep sending me cards ha ha.<br />I hope Claire continues to blossom and her pains ease, that Craig continues to settle in to his new home, and that you get the chance to rest and enjoy your Platinum machine when it arrives. Your husband sounds like a keeper!!!!<br />Maureen xxxMaureen Killenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04706260334646673279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011417721014442767.post-18057563149464347242015-12-16T20:36:56.654+00:002015-12-16T20:36:56.654+00:00I mean I received my Platinum machine today.I mean I received my Platinum machine today.liz spoonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13559307807477048436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011417721014442767.post-38678204124946134372015-12-16T20:36:03.284+00:002015-12-16T20:36:03.284+00:00Hi Tina all of your cards are beautifully stunning...Hi Tina all of your cards are beautifully stunning, I have just received mine today but wont try it till Saturday, I am looking forward to putting my most intricate die in the middle, I shall keep you posted.

Today's is a really beauty from the matting and layering right to the focal point! Really gorgeous. Those roses are to die for! <br />Speaking about dies! I bought the Platinum machine too. I'm really pleased with it. It has cut dies cleanly which I couldn't really cut with even the teal GC. Having watched Sue Wilson use it and how she used the GC plates , I was even more impressed. It gives more options for sandwiches if you see what I mean! I hope you manage to get one. <br />In case I don't pop in next week, Happy Christmas to you and your family and I hope you all have a lovely time together.<br />Love and thanks for a lovely blog! <br />Myra xxxMyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14667747125575972770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011417721014442767.post-18206286363288072282015-12-16T15:13:43.067+00:002015-12-16T15:13:43.067+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00247293237576060706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011417721014442767.post-50593836381861041982015-12-16T15:09:07.256+00:002015-12-16T15:09:07.256+00:00Hi Clare
