Sending You Sunshine!

Hello and thank you for visiting me.  I know I haven't been around for a while yet again, sorry!  My blog posts will be shorter than usual for the next few months as I am waiting for cataract surgery on both eyes making blogging (and everything else) a bit tricky at the moment.  Usually I like to describe how I make my cards but I will forgo that for now if that is ok?  



The stencil is by HoneyDoo crafts - Oxide Inks - sentiment  is Clarity - snippets of card for the sentiment - label dies are Elizabeth Crafts - I can't remember the make of the butterfly stamp and the little gold stones are from my stash.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Allsorts Challenge Blog - Sun, Sea and Sand.  I hope sending sunshine is enough!.
Country View Challenges - Use A Stencil or Two.
Darnell's NBUS Challenge - Never Before Used Schtuff - mine is the fab stencil.

Thank you again for popping by.

Take care.  Christine xxx

A nice take on the theme Chris and sunshine received at this end, many thanks for joining in with our 'Sun, Sea and Sand' theme at Allsorts challenge this week.

Good luck with the surgery, had both mine done last year and it was like a miracle, went in unable to see the number plate in front, came out able to see the next village across the Fen. Totally amazed at the speed and simplicity of the whole procedure, quick and painless and I felt quite a fraud having a very nice room for the day (I went to the Nuffield as the NHS list was almost two years and I knew I wasn't safe driving anymore).

Beautiful card, wishing you well with your cataract op. My mum had hers done last year she didn’t have to wait long, despite covid delays, and all went very well for her. She is amazed at how well she can see now. Fingers crossed you won’t have to wait too long. Stay safe xx
