Thank you ....

.... this is a quick post to say thank you to all you wonderful ladies who have sent me the most lovely cards - they have pride of place on my mantle!

Here are a few close up shots - I'm blessed to have such creative and kind friends - thank you.

And the one below is very special - made by my darling daughter, Kathryn.  She's used my favourite colours.

Sadly, I've not been able to make many cards this week.  I've been experiencing a rather painful left elbow over the last week or two, and this past week it's got worse.  And last night, it went!!  Typing this is taking me quite a long time - as I'm having to do it almost one-handed!  For a touch-typist that's painful ;(  I've got tennis elbow and the only thing I can do it rest my arm, ice it regularly and take pain killers.  Hopefully, it'll have eased soon and I can go and play with my crafty birthday goodies!!  It does give me the perfect excuse to sit down and catch up on all the past episodes of Grey's Anatomy - currently on S5!!!

Later this afternoon we are all going over to our friends, fellow ex-pats, and we're going to celebrate 4 birthdays - mine, Alex (my friend's son who was 13 last week), Sophie and her daughter Isla - who share a birthday on 4th June.  And, as we're missing the Jubilee celebrations, we're having our own here!!

Bye for now.
