Memories


Morning everyone, another Saturday and a new challenge at Allsorts where Mervi would like to see Hearts and of course there's always the A/G option. Prizes come from AALL and Create and Lavinia and will go into the draws on 23rd February.

I've used a stamp from the same set as my last post AALL and Create Forget me Not (896) along with the little birdie and nib from Quill Ends (908). Zestly green and yellow Oxides onto a masked background some background text stamping and word from Power of the Word (754).

Cages were empty, hospital lists chockablock so April it is unless there's a cancellation! Am so frustrated but did make a card.....well sort of.......using ready cut and decoupaged TRR flowers, all the work was already done so not really card making but looks pretty'ish to use shortly. And a new voice programme for typing seems to be an improvement of the previous one.

Thanks for your visits and words of encouragement, they help a lot and appreciated.

A beautiful vibrant background and stamped images Brenda your cards are always inspirational.So sorry to read that it may be April before you can have your procedure,the announcement of further strike action by junior doctors must add to your frustration.

Lovely card Brenda. not colours I would think to put together but love your result. sorry to hear your appt has been put back to April. I am awaiting a new appt as I had to cancel the one in Dec due to having covid. they did tell me February but not heard anything from the bookings team yet. I guess I have gone to the back of the queue again. Hugs Mrs A.

The bright green and yellow colors make a fabulous background for this beautiful silhouette image. Very pretty card. What you're going through seems to be the norm for everyone in this day and age with health care. Sending heartfelt hugs and best wishes for an early cancellation so you can proceed with what needs to be done.

The floral heart looks beautiful on that vibrant background, so nicely done! Good to hear the voice program is working well for you to help with blogging. Hopefully a spot at the hospital will open up sooner.

Oh Brenda, mi dispiace che tu e il tuo neurologo non siate riusciti ad accelerare i tempi! Aprile è ancora lontano ma speriamo che ci sia una cancellazione a breve in modo che il tuo appuntamento possa essere anticipato!! Dita incrociate! Purtroppo è così ovunque, in tutto il mondo ci vogliono mesi e mesi anche per le cose urgenti! Chi sta in alto e gestisce i sistemi sanitari nazionali non ha a cuore la nostra salute, evidentemente!
Una card così vibrante e luminosa, davvero impressionante!! Mi piace molto il dettaglio dell'uccellino sul pennino!
Sono contenta che tu sia riuscita a fare una card, le fustellate già pronte e i fiori TRR sono davvero utilissimi in certe occasioni! Molto contenta anche per il tuo nuovo programma vocale per scrivere!! Never Give Up!!!
Un forte abbraccio!

Sending love and light,

Dear B. Stunning card and great cheery colour combinations too. Well done...

I am so sorry it's a April date but will pray maybe a cancellation, and also that when it's done it's done well...
A saying I learnt years ago, God's delays are not God's denials. There's often a very good reason for them that we cannot see, only He can. That's why it's called faith... trusting simply trusting all along the stormy way as the hymn says.
Praying for you each day and right now too (after 4am Downunder), for God's keeping for you in all things medical.

Thanks for sharing, and may God bless you and keep you and all whom you love safe and well for 2024!
Prayer hugs, Shaz in Oz.x

Beautiful card Brenda love the stamps and the fabulous zesty colour background.Fingers crossed for an early cancellation. I actually managed to get a medic visit(not a DR notice)out yesterday to John as he had a bad infection in one foot and gotr no-where after ringing the chiropodist last week she checked both and the other was worse-bad infections in both feet and serious as he has diabetes-no wonder he was staying in bed! Then I had a fall last night one thing after another.
