Claire & Toby's 7th Anniversary card

 

Hi My Friends

You very nearly didn't get this post. 1) My camera was playing up. 2) the computer wouldn't upload my photos from the SD card to the computer. 3) Paul said he would try the SD card on his computer and would you Adam & Eve it, it worked. 4) Paul then had to email me my photo's and I had to do all that save as! faffing, and to boot there were only 3 pictures worth putting on my blog and I'm not that enamoured with them either. Finally 5) After my fall in the garden my hand is still very painful and there was no way I could have made some proper roses, that's why I chose an easy flower die and I'm not that chuffed with the Clematis flowers. So all in all not a good Sunday, ( I hate Sunday's at the best of times, so this was up there for a really naff Sunday. End of moan. I just hope Claire likes it. 

In all fairness my computer has been playing up for quite a while and I've been putting the inevitable of but I can feel a new one coming on, and Paul has been telling me for a long time to treat myself to a new camera. So I can feel a new camera coming on too. Happy Days!!!!!

I hope your weekend has been better than mine.

Quick Wedding Card

 Hi My Friends

 

If any of you went back to read my last blog and the message that Steph had left to inform you of our scary news that Phoenix had been rushed by ambulance to hospital.I would just like to let you know that Phoenix made a full recovery from his severe viral infection, no matter what was suggested we just couldn't get his temperature to stop spiking and eventually the doctor said we need to get him to hospital. It was yet another really bad time for us. Just hearing your daughter sobbing because she couldn't be in the ambulance too with her little man as only one parent could be with Phoenix, and because Toby showed them to Phoenix's room they chose Toby to go with them. Just not being able to go over and give Claire hugs and reassurance was so alien to me as a mum. I was in the car ready to go and to say sod the bloody pandemic my girl needs me, Claire & Paul said No!, and that we just can't get together as much as she needed a hug. Not another situation I ever want to experience ever again.

Phoenix is back to his old self now and if possible more mischievous, and since the opening of 6 people in the garden we have spent a couple of very heartwarming times together. I just love him to pieces. Today was one of them, Wednesday afternoon. He wanted to go in his swing and wanted me to push him. He then said Grandma stand in front of me so that I could pretend that he pushed me over. There was no need to pretend, I miss judged the step from the drive onto the garden and fell headlong on to my bad knee, and my deformed hand and hurt my back. Phoenix burst out laughing, but when I didn't move he was shouting sorry Grandma sorry. I laughed and said silly Grandma I just slipped on the grass, and he was ok and wanted me to push him higher on the swing. Which I did. Other than my knee, hand & back really hurting it was my pride too. I took some really strong pain killers and continued playing sword fighting, grass throwing with magical powers to turn me into anything he wanted,  I had a fantastic time with Phoenix & Claire. We had lunch on the new patio, homemade pizza swirls, prawn cocktails and chips, followed by strawberries & raspberries with double cream, it was an unexpected Wednesday Grandma treat.

Anyway I made a card too.

Paul's work colleague is getting married 2nd time around on Sunday. He's been a real gentleman all the time we have known him and has a wicked sense of humor, so I hope he likes the stamp I found for the sentiment I stamped in their wedding card, fingers crossed. What do you think

Marriage is like a deck of cards

In the beginning all you need is two hearts and a diamond

By the end, you wish you had club & a spade.

 

 

Here Goes!

 

 

Hope you liked the card, and the sentiment.

Take Care & Stay Safe, High 5 for Jabs for all. They can't come quick enough for me.

Claire & Toby's 7th Anniversary on the 18th April card will be uploaded from Monday.
