A Day of Catch-up

By
Morning everyone. Today as my post title suggests is going to be a day of catching up. My poorly husband is on the mend although we have a hospital visit tomorrow afternoon for some more tests. We have also had some very bad news about my Dad. His cancer has progressed and has become quite aggressive and therefore he is going to have some pretty intensive treatment. He is looking at 4 months of intense chemotherapy with long stays in hospital ending with a 3 week stay in the QE hospital in Birmingham for stem cell treatment. So, with both hubby and Dad in and out of hospital I think I am going to be a bit busy for the foreseeable future.
I have been working hard over the weekend making as many of my DT cards as possible so hopefully I can keep up with that. If I don't get around to commenting on your work as often as I should - please don't be offended. A lot of my post will be scheduled ones so although it may look as if I am around I may not be. Thanks for understanding.

*********************************************************************************

OK so while I'm here I will do the first catch up post of the day! Here is the card I should have posted Thursday for CAS - Colours & Sketches


A little out of date now however there is still time to take part in this week's challenge, please do head on over and take a look -

    I like how you've added the flourish for the pumpkin leaves and stem.

    I'm sorry to hear the bad news about your dad, and I hope your husband gets positive results from his tests. Definitely take the time you need with your family; the people you love are much more important than cards and blog posts and comments. {Hugs} to you.

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...

My work space is quite long and this week I have managed to use up all available surfaces .........with mess! starting at the left hand end  This is the devestation left from yestersday's Project Tuesday challenge and some atc making.
