A pretty plain and simple card from me this week, perhaps reflects the mood of the moment, I've been struggling for mojo as the six week withdrawal from the 'heavy' meds has been pretty horrendous, muscle cramps, shivers, insomnia and back to almost 24/7 migraines. So after much thought on 18th April I go to hospital for the first course of Botulinum, 32 injections in my face and head. I know nothing will get rid of them completely but if they work they should reduce the number of migraines, then it's the same again every three months, but I'm at the stage where I'll give almost anything a go.
So back to my card, I sat myself down with a favourite sentiment and some poppies to see where it took me and this is the result. Not a lot to explain really, the base card was in a pack I picked up at Doncaster show in the Autumn from Which Craft which make quite an elegant card, the sentiment and the Poppies are from Inkylicious.
Happy weekend all.
