Big apologies to everyone for not visiting the last few days. I am really struggling with my crafting and blogging at the moment and I feel a bit down. Too much has been going on in my life with the worry of my daughter over the last few months and the even bigger worry with Dave. He has his next bone scan next week and although I think it will be alright this time it is still very difficult to have to live with it. Our cat has been ill and keeps going to the vet and each time he goes he seems to get worse. He had two visits there last week, one overnight stay for IV fluids but is still not eating and looks a mess. I think he must have a tumor either on his tongue or in his mouth. On a brighter note Rowan seems to be taking feeds a lot better and will be weighed today and I feel quite positive he will have put weight on. Thanks for bearing with me - I see I have lost a follower - I will catch up with you all soon! Thanks so much for looking and listening. Take care xx

Sending you a great big cyber hug Susan. Sometimes life throws so much at us that even crafting doesn't help you through when your trying to be strong for everyone else. Hope you manage to catch your breath soon and perhaps your designer teams on the challenge blogs could allow you some time off from deadlines to lift some pressure off your shoulders. You've created a lovely card with one of my favourite male stamps for this challenge though. The ripple strip sets it off perfectly. Take care.

ReplyDeleteBig hugs are going to you..
ReplyDeleteI know you are, and have, been having a hard time these last few months..I think a light bulb goes on when our children are born and it never goes out! regardless of what age they are.. I'm at my happiest when I don't hear from ours, which means things are alright,...although I'm always there for them if needed.
Hope everything is okay with Dave A week is such a long time when you are waiting.
Take care thinking about you x

ReplyDeleteOh, it sounds like you have so much going on at the moment, no wonder you are feeling a bit down. I hope that Dave's bone scan goes okay. I am really sorry to hear about your cat, it's horrible when our beloved pets are ill so my heart goes out to you.

Hello Susan, sorry to hear you are a bit low just now, but you're allowed to be, so much going on with your family, lot's of concerns there. I will keep you and Dave in my thoughts and hope his scan goes well. Your wee cat certainly sounds very ill, pets just break your heart when they are ill, good news about Rowan though, so pleased.
ReplyDeleteYour card is gorgeous, I love this stamp, beautifully designed and great colours, take care, hugs Kate x
Oooo what a super man's card.

Oh Susan, sometimes life deals out pretty heavy blows, no wonder your mind is not up to much these days... I am keeping my fingers crossed for you and Dave and am grateful that Rowan has put on weight, that's a relief! Your porthole card is supercool, absolutely perfect for a guy! Take care, biggest of hugs, Ira xox

ReplyDeleteI love your masculine card Susan..fabulous image and love the porthole..love the squiggle band down the side too..I lost a few followers too..a bit disheartening isn't it..all the best and you are all in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteluv CHRISSYxx
Wonderful card, Sue! Love the squiggly, wavy blue designer paper in the background! Very pretty! hugs, de {Creative Smiles}
ReplyDeleteFab masculine card!
ReplyDeleteDon't you ever worry about visiting me. I am not the best at visiting regularly. I try to catch up all at once but blogger has given gyp lately and freezes my comment leaving after a post or perhaps allows two.
Sorry to hear your are feeling down. I think it is probably due to everything you described, but I prescribe a bit of spoiling for you and Dave too, if he is up to it. Perhaps a lovely evening out together, somewhere that you feel pampered!!!
This card is absolutely stunning Susan. I love the port hole effect and the stripe effect along the side. Well done.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear you not feeling well Susan and everything that is happening in your life. I hope that it will change for the better soon. Good luck with everything. Hugs Anet
ReplyDeleteOoh what a gorgeous design Susan… it's a fab image and I love the Porthole effect and the wavy border is awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry... things sound really rough for you at the moment… I know only too well how much illness or worry drains you…. so don't feel bad about commenting…. concentrate on resting and being with your family! I hope Dave's scan goes ok and I'm so glad that little Rowan has put weight on! that is good news!
Sending you huge hugs
Sue B xx
A lovely male card Susan. Love the stamped image and the detail. Hope things settle down for you soon. Have a rest and take care of yourself.
