Life for the last couple of years has been exhausting to say the least!!! It feels like there have been so many more low's than highs lately!!
Scrapbooking has probably been the only thing keeping me sane during all this time!! I have had a couple more drama's to test me this last month, starting with a doozy of an argument with Don when I got back from Brisbane in June, just over him being an insensitive and selfish bloody male!!
Then the Thursday of that week (3 weeks ago) Our Gorgeous cat Missy went missing! We are all devastated. We heard dingo's howling close by that night, but we are still hoping a miracle will bring her back home to us. We have since got a new kitten to try and fill the void in this house!!
This LO was published in the latest scrapbook creations the day after she dissapeared, it brought another tear to my eye!!
Here are a couple of pics of our latest addition to the family.... She like to help me scrap and loves chasing the curser around the computer screen. She is great company into the wee hours!!!
But in the bigger picture I think that was just preparing me for what was to come, this time last week I nearly lost my Grandfather, he is 86 this year and was admitted to hospital with bowel blockages after he couldn't keep food down for 3 days. He went into emergency surgery 11pm last Monday night in Rockhampton, which was when we heard about it. We were told to not expect him to make it though the surgery. It was a long and agonising wait on my own until 2.30am that morning to hear that he made it!!
The doctors even told both my Grandmother and Grandfather that he wasn't going to make it!! I have never seen them so scared!! It just broke my heart!! I am glad to say that he has cheated death again and proved them wrong again. This hasn't been the first time he has cheated death during surgery's or illness!! He really is a miracle and has some mighty angels looking over him!!
I did this LO a while ago now, but I still love it!!
I got home late on Saturday after being in Rocky with the family last week and have been scrapping today trying to catch up, so I am feeling a tad drained and tired tonight.
On the upside I have been really pleased with what I have been scrapping lately!! At least things are just working on that front!!
I will leave you with a few more of my latest ones...
"Birds of Feather" This one was from My "Design By You" class that I teach. It was an exercise to show that absolutely anything can work together. Everyone got to pick one thing out of the shop and throw into a box and this is what I had to work with! I love these sorts of challenges too. I really enjoy teaching this class!
This "Putting On The Ritz" - was another from last months classes. It's hard to get a good picture of double LO's.
"I Say Boy..." Is one of this months classes, I have found a quick and easy way to turn any design or picture into a paper piecing!!! All you need is an A4 Sheet of black carbon paper!!
I have more LO's to share later, a few heritage pages and another paper peicing one!!
Hope This finds you all well!!
Thanks for dropping by and for your comments!! They really do make the hard times a bit easier to know you have friends out there!!
Thanks Again From the bottom of my heart!!
