Libby's Blog

Isn't it wonderful how young and old can now share their talents and thoughts through the amazing world of Blogging!

I just paid another visit to my buddy's at the Craft Forum and just wanted to share this new Blog with you, made by the young daughter of my good friend Nat http://libbyart.blogspot.com/

Well done Libby, your work is lovely, a crafting artist in the making! Keep up the great work and, most of all, enjoy being creative. It's a lovely road you're on

...until next time, I hope you find the joy of making something for someone you love x

Dear Dad

Well our Dad gave us a bit of a scare on Friday night, whisked away to hospital in an ambulance he was, suffering with chest pains - but after an ECG and various other tests ruled out a heart problem, the doctor thankfully said it was muscular so he was released and sent home

Luckily my niece Tina is a nurse at the same hospital and, although she's finished work recently awaiting the imminent (3 weeks!) arrival of her first baby, she managed to join my brother in law at the hospital so she could help make sure her Grandad was seen to and looked after as quickly as possible

Dad's a very young 80 year old with a health record that a man 20-30 years younger would envy so it was quite a shock at first, followed by relief that he just has to rest and take painkillers then he'll be back to his usual, sprightly self

Here's a piccy of the man himself and his youngest (moi!) at his recent 80th party...


...and a photo of his Take It Easy card we're dropping round when we visit tomorrow night...



...until next time, if you feel the need, take it easy too

Told you I made a card!

Hee hee, as I just told my crafting pals at http://www.craftsforum.co.uk/index.php?referrerid=9261, I've made a card at long last so I just gotta show you the evidence...





...yes you guessed it, the recipients a copper so I chose a funny photo of real sleeping policemen - then mounted them onto (no, not horses) a gatefold card with some torn linen papers and used (at long last!) my velvet papers to make the feely-funky-fifty numbers

Hope you like it Les, Happy Birthday!

...until next time, dont fight the law, cos the law wins
