I should do this more often.

Hi all,

Well, it's Friday. Yippee! Daisy has been off school today as she has breathing problems again. She has it every time she is ill, even if it is just a cold. So, we went to the doctors and she has finally been diagnosed with asthma. Hubby has it, as do both Grandads, so it was quite likely, but it has taken at least a year and many illnesses and hospital visits before a diagnosis. I hope now that the inhalers she has been given will help and that she won't miss as much school with illness.

Anyway, I felt like playing with inks and stamps tonight, which I don't do enough of. The card is for hubby's best friend and family to say thank you for our Christmas present. The image is a stamp by Penny Black that I bought last year but haven't used yet. I have inked the papers with antique linen and other brown inks. I have also gone a bit mad with the sandpaper and did a bit of distressing.

I would like to enter this into :

Stampalot challenge - monochromatic

Crop stop - distressed, vintage or shabby chic

Just for you

Hi again,

Over at CRAFT this week, we are sponsored by Karen's Doodles, Just Tracy's and In 2 stamps. Our theme is thank you, which reminds me that we haven't done our girls' Christmas thank you letters yet - another job to go on the list. I have used Just for you by Karen's Doodles. The papers are by Prima and Pie Lane and I have used my scroll die again (I love it!)

I'm off this evening to meet up with the people from the musical society I was in that did Annie last year, if I don't get blown away.
