After yesterday's trip to the hospital for my specialist appointment regarding my hip and the shock of discovering that I appear to own odd hips (one appears to be 54 and the other around 70!) and that surgery is necessary, unsurprisingly, I found I couldn't really settle to much.
However, this morning I have got my head around the concept and felt the need to settle to some serious crafting as I had two challenges that I would like to have a go at, one being the Craft Mad and Loving It "TOTALLY TROPICAL" challenge and the other is the Bah Humbug "KISSMAS" challenge.
After a short while (ask anyone who knows me ...... I craft at the speed of light!!) I came up with this for the CMLI "Totally Tropical" theme - hope you like it!

Dreaming of a tropical paradise is just what the doctor ordered, little purple princess. xx
Wonderful card and crafting moments described PP. Love the vibrancy of both. Party on. Hugs Cherry XXx
Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that and that you need surgery. I hope you wont need to wait too long to get the appointment so you can get it out of the way.
Don't forget to pack all the essentials in your hospital bag... scissors,stamps,inks, ribbon .... You could start a business from your bedside!
Seriously though, I'm sure you'll be back to normal before you know it.
Hugs, Katie x
