Focus on the Sentiment

Firstly a billion thank yous for all your kind wishes its so heart warming to read them all.  Rowan is coming on now in leaps and bounds. He has had all his lines and tubes removed and is now back on the ward with Mummy!  Everything seems to be sorted and they are just keeping an eye on him but he seems to be feeding well now and the new parents are hoping they will be able to take him home today.  Aren't they resilient?  They deteriorate so quickly but on the up side they bounce back really fast with the right treatment.  A big thank you to everyone concerned at Bolton Hospital!

I am now getting back to normality the boys have left so it has been a somewhat chaotic but lovely weekend I have put a couple of pictures on the end of my blog! I will catch up with you all now and see what I have missed.

Today is the start of a new challenge at Lexis Creations and the theme for this challenge is Focus on the Sentiment.  Here is my card:


I am not really happy with how this turned out but I had to get all my DT cards done ahead of time and didn't really have time to change it.  The focus is one from Fairy Dust Crafts available here. I used my dienamics Fishtail Stax with some First Edition papers.

The sponsor this challenge is Fairy Dust Crafts.  Please go over to the challenge here to see the rest of the DT makes for some more inspiration.

Here are a couple of pictures of my grandsons from the weekend:


this was taken in Granddad's shed playing on the train set.


painting his Easter decorations!!

Thank you so much for looking today and all your support over the last few days. Take care xx

    Hi Susan so pleased everything is going well now, what a relief, I hope they can all go home today.

    Your card is beautiful Susan, I love the design and the sentiment.

    I cannot believe how quickly Harrison and Rafe have grown up, it only seems 5 minutes when Rafe was born they are both hansom little ones.

    This is such a pretty card Susan and such a lovely sentiment.
    I'm really pleased to hear that Rowan is doing so well, I hope he is able to go home today.
    It looks like the boys were having fun, you did say the youngest was painting his Easter decorations, I think he might have tried eating some!

    My goodness Susan those boys are fairly growing. Two beautiful children.
    John and your hubby would get on fine playing with "trains". Our rather large attic contains a "vast" model railway.
    Brilliant card, I love the delicate beauty.
    Sentiment is fantastic and yes! You do focus on that.
    Happy crafting

    They look so sweet. What lovely little boys...bet they love Granpa's shed with the trains. My grandson would have been in his glory!

    Even little grandaughter had an interest in building fancy Thomas the Train tracks when she was little.

    So glad to hear the litle fellow is improving. I have just read back to this post to catch up...
