I started with  an 8X8  white card, I then embossed a piece of white card Embossalicious folder and matted it to pastel blue mirror card . I cut 3 sizes of Grande large label 1 and matt and layered them with white card and pastel blue mirror card and daisy paper and attached them with sticky pads for dimension. Focal point is made up from the Austrian die, Twisted metal tags and fancy tags 2 which I cut and embossed and stamped my sentiment then layered with sticky pads for even more dimension. I cut the many  daisies out with the aster die 4 for each flower, then added a dazzler in the center, and finally for the flowers added the leaves. I then tied a bow  and attached a daisy.

 I hope you like it.

Hi Friends

Sorry it's late but the latest update on Claire is, we are no further forward. The surgeon said, that they are not going to put a name to her Episode, as they called it. He said it is in his opinion not appendicitis.  It could have been a cyst on the ovary, or it could be, If you can imagine a sea anemone surrounding the ovary. It could be that one of the strands could have gone into a spasm and because it would have bled could have died off. Nothing to in and investigate. He feels that Claire will be back to good health in 3-4 weeks, even though she still has pain in her appendix area. As we left he said I want you to have another blood test to make sure your appendix are not inflamed, and " Oh by the wat Claire we have not ruled out early appendicitis. she was so poorly yesterday when I took her back to hospital with an ulcerated throat the day she was discharged. She had to go the doctors today, and has now been put on antibiotics. She is so poorly, and her school rang her today and said could she possibly go into work tomorrow For PPA meeting for Monday. I told her she should go back to the doctors to get another sick note, but as usual Claire just ignored my concerns. " What else can I do ". I just have to wait until she wears herself out completely. I just wish Toby would be a little bit more stronger with her. I just have to sit on the side lines and hope she will be OK.

Mum's don't we really get a bum deal with attitudes sometimes, hey ho. I guess my mum used to say that about me ? really. I don't think so I would have got a clip around the ear.

sorry to sound so down, so much going on at the moment.

I missed making cards so much. I did start to make a card for the Scrapology competition Sue mentioned on her blog., but if nyone has read my blog you will know I have had problems with my Ebosser machine and my hubby took it apart and it is now running more slowly and with less pressure. Guess where my die is now, RIGHT stuck in my BL--DY Ebosser. What a Bummer. I will have to wait till Paul gets home from work to release my dies to be able to finish my card.

I hope I have'nt bored you with my message today, but in this household at the moment it does'nt rain for what it pours. Thank God I have big umbrella's, Ooooer missus!

Thank you all again for being there for Claire, it means so much X

Love to all Tina XX

hello lovely people

Claire is home now, still in lots of pain, and unable to move without holding her lower tummy on the right side.  They sent her home on high medication and they want her back on Wednesday as an out  patient to make sure she is in full health. Claire saw a doctor today that told her that the pain she was having was due to a cyst that had maybe bled, thus causing the pain, But they are still not ruling out appendicitis, even though they could'nt see her appendix because Claire's are behind her intestines and did'nt show up on an ultra sound or a CT scan. They sent her home. Every time the phone rings we think it is Claire.

I spoke to Claire a little while ago and she is still in pain. I have tried ringing the hospital, but they won't say anything as Claire has already left, and say talk to the doctor on Wednesday.

I can't tell you how much I thank you all for your thoughts for Claire. You are all really special ladies. I have told Claire what you have all said and she is amazed, and wants to say thank you to all of you.

I am so tired with worry, but what mum has'nt been there. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for being here,  and being able to vent my feelings.

Love to all

So Angry

Hi everyone

Latest update on Claire and appendicitis. The surgeon came to see Claire this afternoon just before we arrived. She was in Claire's words " very arrogant". She told Claire that they will not operate as she is not in enough pain, " I ask you ". Claire is doped with morphine of course she not rolling around in pain, but she can't move, cough or walk without bending over.The drugs trolley came around just before we left and Claire refused any pain relief, she said if they want to see the true pain of appendicitis then they will hear me shortly. We have have come home for a while so that she can have time with her new husband, but we are on standby to go back soon, and I don't give flying fig about visiting times. While I was there I spoke to a couple of doctors that had read her notes from A&E that it was definitely Appendicitis. When Claire had her scan they could'nt even find her appendix and said they were hidden at the back of her intestines, so therefore they could'nt say definitively if they were infected, so why the hell has she not been given  other tests before they send her home tomorrow. Which is what the surgeon said they would do. ( NOT ENOUGH PAIN YOU'RE OUT )   NHS  What a joke.  Sorry but I am soo angry.

Sorry. Kind regards

Hopefully a card soon

Hi to everyone that regularly visits my blog, and to those who just pop in.

I'm sorry I have'nt put a card on my blog lately, but my daughter Claire was rushed into hospital on Thursday with suspected appendicitis. She is still waiting to find out if she is going to be operated on. They did an internal scan yesterday and we were told that the surgeon would talk to her later that day, when we had to leave late last evening the surgeon had still not arrived. Claire is in so much pain and is on very high doses of morphine and very regularly. She has'nt eaten since Wednesday, and yesterday was allowed to sip a small amount of water. Hopefully something will be decided today. I just thank God it did'nt happen when she was on honeymoon  in America last month, although maybe she would been treated by now, it's so frustrating watching your child go through so much pain.

Hopefully Claire will be sorted soon and we can breath easy again and life can get back to normal. Although I don't have a clue what that is lately.

Thank you again for your visit.

No Card

Good afternoon all my lovely blog friends and to all that just take a peek.

There won't be a card for another few day's, as we are all preparing to lay Dad to rest at the farm along side Mum tomorrow. A happy sad day. Sad as it makes it too final but happy for him to now be laid to rest with Mum.

So I will be back soon. I hope you all have a good weekend, and take some time to relax.

Thank you all so much for visiting my blog and leaving lovely comments.

Love
