what a day !

What a long and exhausting day i had today. We took dad to what was supposed to be an hour long radiotherapy session at the hospital and ended up there for 5 hours . Poor dad was so tired and sore and we all got home exhausted and hungry as we had not been prepared for a marathon stay. Next time i may pack a picnic.



I wanted to say a huge thank you to all of you who have commented and said some beautiful things about my collage sheets. I am sure i have made the right decision to make them Free and I hope you will continue to use them. I will be making new ones and they also will be free but of course right now i have so much else to see to with looking after my parents. 
Look out for tomorrows post where some of our brilliant designers will be showing you some beautiful work on the Olde Curiosity sheets. Also please dont miss out on the challenge this month ... just click on the 'Spot Prize' link at the top of this page.

And as i dont like to leave a page without an image, i thought i would share my latest crafting effort which is a card i made when i had a little time to play. Hope you like it

Gorgeous artwork June. I always take a sandwich if I have a hospital appointment, not sure "appointment" is right word. They always seem to have some sort of emergency when I'm due in :S Hope Dad isn't suffering too much from the experience :D XXX

Ugh, I know how long these 'short' appointments can be having gone through it all with my Dad. I also know how draining they are and I'll be thinking of you and your family. Well done for finding some 'you' time to make your sweet card - and yes, follow your heart ;o)

This sounds all very draining and tiring and I hope you have a chance to take care of yourself, too. I think it's a very brave decision of yours about the collage sheets and I wish you all the luck with this new venture. Give my love to the North and take best care!

If you bring enough food, you can get through anything! Oh wait. Maybe that's why I need to go on a diet.
