A PLACE WHERE CHAOS OFTEN PREVAILS!

Reason for being AWOL

Hard to believe it's been so long since I last posted on my blog but so many things have been happening in that time.. mostly my mum being ill.

Three months to actually get a diagnosis..  High grade lymphoma in her head and now grade lymphoma in her bone marrow.   

6 bouts of Chemo combined with 4 lumbar punctures and I'm happy to say she is currently clear..  

To see someone with half a golf ball growing out their head was horrendous.. to hear the diagnosis was a shock..  to get a scan done only to be told there was actually 2 tumours.. one outside her skull and one on the inside was a real blow to the system.   Emergency admittance to hospital etc..  

I'm far from being a naive person but I felt rather ignorant to just how draining treatment is for the patient but also how much it impacts on family members lives.    

Anyway..  I've also been doing a lot of reflecting as at present I have no desire to make cards or anything and while flicking through different stuff I've discovered the problem I think so..  the old craft room will be getting a good spring clean..  lots and lots of products will be disappearing never to be seen again and I'm going to focus on getting back to what I used to love..

Football Fans

Good day all here's some more samples I made for the Extravaganza weekend at Craft World.

Products used on this card are 

CED23020 Pressed Shirt 
CED4349 Sports 

I used only a section of the sports die and cut it so I could use it to edge out from behind the shirt and also for the hanging boots at the top.   Great what you can do with scraps of card that would usually go in the bin lol.  

Products are available online at 


Back tomorrow again with another few makes so please check back to see what else I was lucky enough to play with.  

Happy crafting
