Return of the Prodigal!


Good morning all, this is the third time I have attempted to post this blog and it could quite possible be afternoon by the time it appears! Can I start by saying a great big THANK YOU! to all of you bloggers who supported me during my silent period. It was due to a combination of things: a tired laptop, my brother who needed daily transport to the hospital for radiotherapy treatment, dental appointments for split root removal and just life in general.  Anyway your support meant and still does mean a great deal to me. I did manage to follow you all, albeit slowly thanks to laptop, who I hope is fully recovered and sorted now, and did manage to make the odd comment. I even got a new follower during this period, so another thank you to Karen, I will be popping round to see you soon. I did do some card making to order during this period, but they were made and handed on and I  forgot to take photos each time, duh!  I did some work in the garden too, only general tidying and weeding, but at least my faithful perennials are in flower. It is a drizzly day with the odd downpour today so I might get crafting again, once my Asda delivery comes. Today's card is Dawn Bibby background paper's, Kanban blank topper, LOTV stamp, Promarkers, Spellbinder die, Pan Pastels, and gems from stash.  Well that's it from me for today folks, look after yourselves.

  10. Hi Carol.
    I am so sorry I haven't been around commenting on your blog.
    for some reason I could not find your blog in all the millions or it seems like millions of bookmarks. I have now put this right and put you into a blog bookmarks. So I will be round more often. I am having lots of trouble with my eyes, finding it very difficult to read small print now. Funny it doesn't seem to affect my crafting though, thank goodness. I have to zoom my computer into bigger wording to be able to read and comment.
    All that aside it's lovely to see you posting, and commenting again. So sorry to hear your about your brother's health problems, and it's so good you have your computer up and running again.
    Fabulous card, love that image, and the SB dies used.
    Have a wonderful crafty day.
    Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
