Finally here again



I am always starting my weeks very optimistic and believe this week will be different, and then comes Tuesday and I realize that everything is like it always is; I start being behind with everything. I guess about a month or so, well that is how I feel. I sure hope this is the week when everything will turn. It's the last week for the summer holidays for the kids. W will start school next Monday and P will be back to his day care again. For myself it means that I have to see tons of people working for the health centre; like my physio, my "talk to doctor" who just feels like a friend. (Perfect!) and then the shoe doctor and then we top it off with a meeting with the Employment office and Health insurance office. Looks like all the fun is starting right at once. I have a feeling that I will loose both my physio and talking friend coming next week. Both good and bad I guess, but I always have my brother to turn to. I think with his help things will move a lot faster even if I have been very slow in progress during the summer. But soon some time to concentrate on myself again, and it will make everything so much easier.


Ok, got all of that out of me. Feels good that's for sure, now on to this post's adventure; my card! I got it made in nick of time, just like all the other weeks this summer. I decided to go Christmas here as Donna has a wonderful new digi set out called Christmas Light. Wonderful lovely colours and I got about a BIG box of Tildas and Edwins just waiting to see ink. Time to combine them as the new Christmas stamps will be out soon, a little Christmas is already out but soon there is more to come, I have heard. :)

Colored dear Little Miss Tilda with my Letraset family and did some cutting. Used the Christmas Light Digi set together with the free bee Donna was giving away when you bought Christmas sets from her last weekend. Some flowers, pearls, lace, charms and snow flakes made up my embellishments for this card. Glitter here and there and I was off to the grossery store while it was drying. Got my picture in nick of time before the sun set for the evening and here it is.


And with all this written, I still have not told you about the theme over at The Bearly Mine Challenges for this week. It is a very nice and easy one called Fly Fly away.... anything with wings. Told you it was easy, so what are you waiting for. Pop on over to the Bearly Mine Challenges and come and join us.

With love n hugs
Marie
