making cards and a reality check

I have made a few cards over the past week or so. We have a few birthdays coming up. I also finished the binding on the runner for the library draws, I love it. Funny how I made this and now zig zags are every where. Like in the target catalogue a few weeks back.

 It's hot and muggy here today and I'm not feeling flash so not much is being achieved, but I accept I will always have down times when I just don't feel well. I am off to Brisbane in a week, that means I should have a few good weeks after my injection. My lovely Doctors are trying to have my dose of trial medication increased, I am hoping they have a yes by next visit. Cross your fingers for me Please. I don't often write about the details of my health, but in an effort to keep it real I have realised I must. My ulcerative colitis is a part of my everyday life that I can't escape. I think I might need to add the word accept to my one little word this year. To accept that some days the most I will achieve is to get out of bed. Right that's all, I don't want this to sound too down I just want as I said 'to keep it real' and all this is part of my reality.

Happy Valentines Day

I whipped up some Valentine cards for Matt and Chelsea last night. Matt knew what I was doing and asked if I could make one for myself for him to give me because he forgot to get one. Funny. I just love the cute fun one I made for Chelsea, she loved it.
           It was a struggle to get Chelsea up and to school early for choir practice. It's only the second week I'm sure she'll get use to it. Hope you all have a great Valentines day.

Happy Birthday to me!

I'm taking it easy today as it's my birthday(& I have a bit of a headcold). I received gifts this morning from Matt and Chelsea before Matt left for work. Then phone calls from my Dad at Norfolk Island and my brother Ian in Basel Switzerland, (where the temperature is minus 9deg cel.) After taking Chelsea to school I had morning tea with one of my very good friends and her little girl. I did a bit of shopping then came home and have been enjoying the air-conditioning.
           I really wanted to have some photos taken yesterday and they both co-operated with me but the sun didn't and we were maybe 10 minutes late to get the sun light where I wanted it to be. Any way I asked if we could try again another day and he said yes. I don't think I should wear white next time and need to relax after I press the self timer. We enjoyed a yummy roast beef dinner last night, my Mum came out and joined us. She gave me some clothes and some money.
           Now I'm going back to the lounge with my new scrapbooking magazine Matt gave me and putting my feet up until I have to go to school.

still scrapbooking

In between other stuff I have kept scrapbooking this week. Now my total is up to 14. Here are 2 from last week. Sorry I haven't taken the time to scan them all just yet. I am planning to get lots of scrapbooking done over the weekend. I'm off now to look at photos to scrap.
