Some X Rays I finally got

Hi everyone,

Not stamping related I know but I went back to the specialist today to see about getting my full cast on. The bad news is that one of my scars is still wet so the specialist is now concerned about infection. He has placed me on strong antibiotics and I have to go back and see him at Campbelltown this time next Friday. This means that no full cast for me for the time being. Hopefully the antibiotics work as I don't think I could handle having to go back into hospital. For that matter I don't think my poor DH would cope either. He has been fantastic and the best DH anyone could hope for. He has seen me at my worst and still hasn't run for the hills.

I do have some pictures to show you. I picked up a soft copy of my X-Rays so can load some up for you. The first two were taken the day I was admitted to the ED at Nepean.

You can clearly see the break in this one.

I believe this one was taken before they put my disclocated ankle back into place.

This last one was taken today. When I left hospital my discharge papers said that I had 1 one plate and 5 screws. Well have a look at this one.

That is actually two plates and 12 screws!!! The specialist is happy with the way it is healing - just concerned about infection.

Anyway just a little something for you to check out.

'Til next time,

A couple of items that were for the ESAD Blog Hop

Hi everyone,

Well I have managed to photograph a couple of the items I made for the ESAD Christmas in July Blog Hop. Unfortunately I didn't finish everything and I can't quite get the inspiration to complete them now. The sad thing is that Spotlight on Christmas is a stamp set that I love and is on the Once Last Chance list. Hopefully before this month is over I will be able to show you the last item I was going to make for this Blog Hop as it uses Spotlight on Christmas.

Firstly I have two rather plain Christmas Cards. I like plain. Clean and Simple is my motto. Here I have used Spotlight on Christmas and used Pink Pirouette and Certainly Celery.

The tree is made using the Full Heart Punch. The sentiment is from the Level 1 Hostess Set Best Yet but I have omitted some of the words.

I also made three more Christmas Cards using Spotlight on Christmas using more traditional colours. I used Ruby Red, Old Olive, Baja Breeze (just love it for Christmas) and some Chocolate Chip.

Lastly I made a couple of Top Note Characters. Now these are by no means my idea and I got the idea and directions from a blog called wunsaponatime (click here to check out the site). There is also a U-Tube link to make Rudolph.

Now these guys are cute and fun to make. I made the boxes big enough to put lots of Christmas lollies in them. I have also used Pink Pirouette for Santa due to Blush Blossom retiring and have used Soft Suede for Rudolph rather than Close to Cocoa that I would normally have used. These guys will be featuring in an upcoming class so stay tuned for more details.

Just Add Ink

Hi everyone,

Well it has been over two weeks since I last got my fingers inky and I have to say it has been driving me nuts. The down side - when I finally got into my craft room - no mojo!!!! I think it has something to do with the fact that I can't stand up easily and get what I want off my shelves.

I saw the Just Add Ink Colour challenge and seeing it uses three of my most favorite colours I thought I would have a go. Strictly speaking it is not keeping with the challenge as I have used Whisper White as well but oh well.

I am going back to the Specialist on Tuesday so will have an opportunity to hand in a Thank you card to the wonderful nurses on the ward I was in. There is one nurse in particular who I need to thank. His name is Bede and he has been nursing now for 17 years. He has such a positive attitude and calls a spade a spade. He says if you are upset then that is OK. However if you don't want to get out of bed he will not have it!!! Whilst I was waiting the roller coaster of when I was going to have my operation he was the one that kept me sane. So whilst looking at the Just Add Ink colour challenge I thought I would make him his own Thank you card.

Here I have used Kraft (soon to be Crumbcake) as the card base, Baja Breeze and Chocolate Chip as mats. Kraft Taffeta Ribbon. The stamps are from Friends 24-7 and of course Tiny Tags. The 'button' is from the Sizzlets Button Die from the Autumn/Winter Mini.

Hope you like it,

'Til next time,

Last Chance List is here

Hi everyone,

Well today is the 1st August. That means only one more month of Winter - yay!!! And only one more month until our new Idea Book and Catalogue is available. That also means there is only one more month to purchase products from our existing Catalogue. The Last Chance list or One more Chance - what ever way you look at it - is exactly that. Only one more chance or last chance to purchase items that will no longer be available. So if there are stamp sets you have been wondering about getting or maybe some cardstock, ink pads and accessories check out the list here. There are some bargains to be had but not everything has been reduced. Don't delay to purchase either as once stocks have gone - that is it. No more. I will update my blog with items that have been sold out.

'Til next time,

Juliette
