Morning Sue and crafters everywhere. Yet another beautiful card, using colour clouds really do blend well, just waiting for this striplet die to arrive. Love and crafty hugs to you and your family Tina Thompson xxxxx😊
Oh beautiful! I'm looking for inspiration for my Mum's 90th birthday card and I think I may have just found it. Although as I was reading the post, I noticed in the thing at the side about where the visitors came from that a visitor from St Helens was reading the post at the same time of me - wouldn't it be a coincidence if it was my sister in law and we end up making her identical cards??? Jane
Hi Sue This card is absolutely stunning!! I love this striplet die. In fact, I love everything about this card. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day everyone. Hugs.
Hi Sue. Gorgeous card, I didn't realise that colour clouds could be used on so many mediums. I agree with Pam, we're glad that you're our friend. Hugs to all. Sue XXX
Lovely lovely card, Sue, and using my totally favourite lattice window die. What a corker! Great video and thank you for lots of extra ideas. Laine - so hope that your Dad can be kept pain free, what a difficult time. Ursula - sympathy on the loss of your brother, and Wheely too - good neighbours are a real blessing. Hugs as ever, Sue.
Hello Sue, hope you are ok. I love this card, from the soft colours, to the sentiment, and my all time favourite striplet,great video too. Have a good day all. Bx

Beautiful card using one of my favourite striplets. Had a tip on using colour cloud properly yesterday so am now tempted to buy some and try out making some of the felt flowers for the next birthday card. Thank you.

Hello Sue and all Beautiful card, love the lattice striplet and use it so often. The glitter behind really sets it off. Thank you for the video too, love watching your demonstrations and always learn something - like I now have to find more spending money for some colour clouds lol !!! Hugs Muriel x
Good morning Sue and the merry band of Wilsonettes, What a beautiful card you have brought for our delight today Sue and the wisteria colour is such a soft colour and one of my favourites in the CE range of colours. I really like the lighter colours that is made into such beautiful works of sheer pleasure. I am hoping that when i get a wee bit money together i can treat myself to some of the beautiful new dies fromt he last collection and this one but for the moment they remain on my wish/need list. I have fallen for a few in your tags and frames selection that will be a real must but i will try to see how i can get on with the striplets and other dies that i have at the moment to make my version of today's beauty. I hope that you are bouncing back one step at a time flower but as i have found it sometimes is a few steps back before you can make one going forward so i am sending you some hugs just to let you know that you are thought about and cared for. Well folks peace reigns serenely at Costa de Glenochil with the rain and hubby back at work today, i can only hope that tomorrow is dry for us and his dads funeral. Me, i'll need dropped off at least 20 minutes before everyone else just to get up the outside steps but i will make it what ever the challenge. Today is a picky day where i just do wee bits at a time to get some of the things sorted of Mum's and try and get my house back to normal a bit before his nibs brings along the next lot to be sorted through. The schools and colleges are off on holiday this week so Rory is doing what he does best, playing on his x-box until i shout for a hand. Now you would think it was a mountian that i wanted to move instead of lifting one box from my car up to the charity shop but it has sat in the car for long enough now and i need the space for tomorrow. So i will send hugs to Tracy, i hope that you take it easy today after your treatment flower, hugs to Wheely that she is a wee bit better and to all our Wilsonettes that need or could just do with one love and crafty hugs Norah (Glenochil Village)
Hi Sue What a beautiful card today, I would be searching for coloured felt to match the card, so the ink tip is very useful. I like the embossing in the frame too, it does add interest. Thank you for sharing. Love Diane G xxxx
Morning Sue I am saving the video for later but loving this card. I have a bit of a soft spot for any card which features the lattice window striplet as that was the die I won and it is stunning. I don't yet have any of the colour clouds but guess what they are on my list - along with everything else. Apologies for my absence over the last couple of days - I was feeling so drained that I did not do anything at all. I have just had a quick peek at the cards I missed and they are gems of gorgeousness. Your blog is a blessing to so many of us and it is so apt that at this time of need you are able to find some comfort in the knowledge that we are all thinking of you. Sending you love and hugs Sue x LAINE - so sorry to hear about your dad. Oh my goodness - been a bit of a tough week hasn't it? Hang in there hun - one day at a time. Sending love and hugs x FLUFFY CAT, 'P', LINDA, MARIA, JAN - thank you for your good wishes - right back at you x WHEELY BAD - your nan sounds like she is a force to be reckoned with. Sorry to hear about your neighbour. Sending you big hugs x TRACY - you have hit the nail on the head about the dies. I know that I have dies in my collection that are still waiting to be used. I can think of addictions that are far more detrimental to one's well being so I refuse to feel guilty. Be assured - hubby will not hear your secret from me. Well done on the card making. Thinking of you today. Big hugs x LORRAINE - well done on the crafting and sorting - how satisfying. Huggles x NORAH - I am so pleased for you that peace has returned. It sounds like your O.H. had man flu - that is a very serious condition. If he gets it again I think that leaving the patient well alone - possibly solitary confinement is the best course of action. Will be thinking of you tomorrow. Lots of love x URSULA - so sorry to hear about your brother - sending you love and hugs x Still feeling a little jaded so will not be up to much today apart from making pancakes later for the boys. Sunny thoughts to everyone Crafty hugs Yvonne x

A realy beautiful card today. I love the lattice striplet and the colours. I am looking forward to watching the video later. I treated myself to some smoothies the other day, and will be deciding which colour colour clouds to purchase soon.
Hello Sue, Such a pretty card in lovely soft colours! Just gorgeous! Haven't seen the video yet - I will later! Promise! Love and hugs to you and all who are going through tough times. Xxxx
Hi Sue. How did we ever manage without the colour cloud collection that's what I keep thinking, and sooo many to chose from at a brilliant price too, I'm still using my pretty in pink from the smooth 'booby' I dipped two days ago, they will last forever that I'm certain ! I've even coloured some of your felt to match a card it worked brilliantly you'd never have guessed it wasn't naturally that colour when I bought it, so who ever thought that one up deserves an OBE for ink innovation lol. I'm hoping that this beauty will have made you smile again today ? It has me, it's a real lovely card and made with some of my favourite dies too. Thinking of you so much Sue. Sending my usual gentle hugs. Lancashire Steph xx
Well ladies sitting getting my chemo. Only one more to go. 2 attempts today to get it into my hand as they had to remove my picc line last week as it had moved fro meat my heart into my neck which wasn't good.
Norah and wheely thanks for ur lovely thoughts. Wheely sorry about urneighbour. Good ones are hard to find xx
Beautiful card Sue my list of I need dies is growing every day lol The sentiment today is resiprocated we are glad you are our friend Hugs Hun Theresa G xx
thank you Pat L for your message, much appreciated. A beautiful beautiful card Sue, I just love the dies you have used here, have both of them, yay. The use of the colour cloud on the felt is such a great idea to get the exact colour...thank you for the tutorial Sue...luv Ursula xx
Hi Sue...this card is so beautiful and that striplet is a winner. Thank you so much for the great video and just want you to know that you're constantly in my thoughts. Karen, congratulations on your win. Tracy, I hope your treatment is going well and that you don't feel too poorly afterward. So glad there's only one more to go. Congratulations on your crafting. Bejay, hope you stayed in and crafted...those winds sound horrific. Laine...sending you special hugs. Wheely Bad, so sorry about your neighbor. Norah, so glad your O.H. Is back to work lol. Ursula, it's not easy to lose a brother, I know first hand. Somsorrymformyour loss. Yvonne and Lorraine, feel better.
Lovely card Sue. I have this strplet and its one of my favorites.I used it for a lot of my Christmas cards and had a lot of positive comments. Thanks to you Sue.
HI SUE FAB CARD, LOVE THE COLOUR. sORTED MY TROUBLE OUT FOR ME, MY FLOWER ALWAYS RAISES UP IN THE MIDDLE. LIKE ALL THE COLOURS MATCHING. GREAT VIDEO. BORN AGAIN SPELLBINDER NADINE HUG XXX
Beautiful Card. I love the Lattice Window striplet and your sparkly background, this is one I will copy. Great idea to colour felt to match your card. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Sue, a really beautiful card today in my favourite colour and size. The window lattice striplet with the sparkle behind it is gorgeous. I love the diamond foldover flower and was so thrilled when my first one turned out perfectly that I had to carry on and make more and more :-)
After a damp start we have sunshine again this afternoon so I am sending some to all who need it.
Absolutely stunning card Sue, I love that striplet die and somehow I have overlooked it. But not anymore as it is on the top of my list as it is so pretty on your card. Love the wisteria colour too. just perfect.
Hi again Sue. My apologies for my earlier comment I'm really not as thick as I made myself look ! I realised that I'd not checked in before I had to leave home for my hospital appointment so I quickly admired your card for today without reading what you had typed. It's only when I just watched your tutorial and noticed you had expressed the ease of inking felt that I realised I had been countering on about it earlier !!! What a complete numpty, and how idiotic do I feel lol that'll teach me to read/watch before adding my 10 pence worth - right ?!!?
Hi Sue Just love this striplet such a beautiful card, I have just ordered some colour cloud not very good at colouring but you have inspired me to give it a go. Take care Jennywren xx
Beautiful card as always my dear. I have three striplets already but think I am going to have to get this one too. Going to Gloucester on Thursday for an appointment so I will take it as meant to be if the craft shop has it in. Today was tiring as I had to travel to Bath for a physio assessment. Very nice young lady taught me how to use my stick properly and gave me a little exercise for my knees. Trouble is they really ache now and I hope it doesn't disturb my sleep. I will be doing a fibromyalgia coping course and will spend four hours one day a week for four weeks there. With the travelling on top I shall be exhausted. Tomorrow it's a mammogram to look forward too. Tracy, you sounded quite chipper having your chemo. I hope the after effects are not too bad x Laine, I can really empathise with the heart break you are going through x I am sorry I know others are going through grieving but I can't remember who, sorry and massive hugs for you all Discussing my symptoms today brought up a lot about when my Dad was poorly and then died. Such an awful time and it all has its repercussions. Crikey I am being miserable. Apologies again. I must try and do some crafting tomorrow and perhaps forget about it all. Wishing good things to all xxx
I have caught up with all the cards and video's now Sue and they are all just gorgeous, I have been poorly with this horrible cold doing the rounds and it has left me with a shocking cough, but mustn't grumble there are worse off than me, Thinking of you Sue and Laine, Tracy, Melody, Francis and Molly and anyone else suffering, hugs Johanna
As Pam said first thing, we're glad you're our friend too, Sue (couldn't have put it better myself, Pam!). Looking at the card, you'd never know that the felt had been coloured by ink and oh wow, what a stunning card! The striplet is on my next shopping list as its gorgeous. I must move fast as there's a few embossing folders I'd like and I'd like to get in before they sell out!
Hope you're OK Sue, big hugs to you and your family x
Ursula, condolences on the loss of your brother, big hugs x
Laine, thinking of you and your family at such a difficult time, big hugs x
Molly, Melody and family, big hugs x
Tracy, hope you don't feel rough after today, not long to go now! Thank you for thinking of me, Big hugs x
Sarah (fame01) hope your sons hospital appointment goes well, hugs to both of you x
Norah, peace at last! Don't push yourself too hard over the next few days. Thank you for thinking of me, big hugs x
Yvonne, don't rush back into things, take your time. Thank you for thinking of me, big hugs x
Lorraine F, physio is always tiring, A lot of these pain courses can be very confronting and that on top of intense sessions can be exhausting. I've been on good ones and very bad ones in the past. I truly hope the sessions help you to manage your condition so you can enjoy more of your life - especially the crafting. Encouragement and big hugs x
Jan D in Florida, craft foam (we call it 'funky foam', it's more marketed to kids here but a lot of crafter's use it) flowers, what an inspired idea! I must try that with the flower dies I have soon as I can, thanks for sharing such a good idea, hugs x
Marg, P in Wales, Jan from Long Island, thank you so much for thinking of me, hugs x
Lynda, special hugs as always from myself and Billy x
Nanna didn't have her drain out today, she said it was "only a little setback". I'm majorly frustrated I can't get to her, she's 2 miles away in the local hospital! I'm going to text my brother to see if he can take me tomorrow afternoon if she's still in but it depends on his shift. Sure I can sit for long enough and if not I'll use the meds. I have to try to make a condolence card for my late neighbours family tomorrow. Until her last year she kept a wonderful garden, rose bushes everywhere, which her son is keeping in, bowling green lawn, pansies, hyacinths and all sorts. I have a lovely rose stamp, one of the first rubber stamps I brought and I will make a card with that. I think her children will really appreciate it.
Today I kept the migraines at bay by spending most of it horizontal. When I did sit up it was on with the neck brace until I felt that heady tingle, then back laying down- which does my back no favours! I have worked out how I can use my tablet etc without pushing my neck down to look at my lap. I have my spare support cushion, a sofa cushion and a TV tray on my lap topped with a book holder. I can rest my arms on the tray too so I'm not hurting my arms holding the tab still. I feel like a 'para' version of The A-team!!!
Another hour plus its taken to post but I had so much to say. Thank you everyone who left me their best wishes, your support and concern means a lot. Big hugs to all and every one of you, especially those dealing with the loss of a loved one, I know there are more of you than I mentioned today, I'm thinking of you, also thinking of those who are ill, in treatment or in any kind of pain. Wishing for smiles, sunshine, happiness for everyone and a wonderful Wednesday XXX
Really beautiful card Sue, I love the lattice striplet die. Don't have any colour clouds yet but hope to get some at the SECC at the beginning of March. Can I wait that long???????? Thank you for your email, appreciated that you took the time to reply.

Good morning Sue and the merry band of Wilsonettes,
What a beautiful card you have brought for our delight today Sue and the wisteria colour is such a soft colour and one of my favourites in the CE range of colours. I really like the lighter colours that is made into such beautiful works of sheer pleasure. I am hoping that when i get a wee bit money together i can treat myself to some of the beautiful new dies fromt he last collection and this one but for the moment they remain on my wish/need list. I have fallen for a few in your tags and frames selection that will be a real must but i will try to see how i can get on with the striplets and other dies that i have at the moment to make my version of today's beauty. I hope that you are bouncing back one step at a time flower but as i have found it sometimes is a few steps back before you can make one going forward so i am sending you some hugs just to let you know that you are thought about and cared for.
Well folks peace reigns serenely at Costa de Glenochil with the rain and hubby back at work today, i can only hope that tomorrow is dry for us and his dads funeral. Me, i'll need dropped off at least 20 minutes before everyone else just to get up the outside steps but i will make it what ever the challenge. Today is a picky day where i just do wee bits at a time to get some of the things sorted of Mum's and try and get my house back to normal a bit before his nibs brings along the next lot to be sorted through. The schools and colleges are off on holiday this week so Rory is doing what he does best, playing on his x-box until i shout for a hand. Now you would think it was a mountian that i wanted to move instead of lifting one box from my car up to the charity shop but it has sat in the car for long enough now and i need the space for tomorrow. So i will send hugs to Tracy, i hope that you take it easy today after your treatment flower, hugs to Wheely that she is a wee bit better and to all our Wilsonettes that need or could just do with one
love and crafty hugs

Hi Sue, a stunning card. Beautiful dies and embossing folder you have used. I love the colours. Thanks for the video.
Hi Sue
What a beautiful card today, I would be searching for coloured felt to match the card, so the ink tip is very useful. I like the embossing in the frame too, it does add interest.
Thank you for sharing.
Love Diane G xxxx
Lovely and I love the wisteria colour. I really do not use my striplets enough. Hugs xx
Hi Sue. A lovely card, love the colour you used.xx
Hello Sue,
Such a gorgeous card today, it is beautiful. And you spelt colour our way and not the American!!!!

Morning Sue
I am saving the video for later but loving this card. I have a bit of a soft spot for any card which features the lattice window striplet as that was the die I won and it is stunning.
I don't yet have any of the colour clouds but guess what they are on my list - along with everything else.
Apologies for my absence over the last couple of days - I was feeling so drained that I did not do anything at all. I have just had a quick peek at the cards I missed and they are gems of gorgeousness.
Your blog is a blessing to so many of us and it is so apt that at this time of need you are able to find some comfort in the knowledge that we are all thinking of you. Sending you love and hugs Sue x
LAINE - so sorry to hear about your dad. Oh my goodness - been a bit of a tough week hasn't it? Hang in there hun - one day at a time. Sending love and hugs x
FLUFFY CAT, 'P', LINDA, MARIA, JAN - thank you for your good wishes - right back at you x
WHEELY BAD - your nan sounds like she is a force to be reckoned with. Sorry to hear about your neighbour. Sending you big hugs x
TRACY - you have hit the nail on the head about the dies. I know that I have dies in my collection that are still waiting to be used. I can think of addictions that are far more detrimental to one's well being so I refuse to feel guilty. Be assured - hubby will not hear your secret from me. Well done on the card making. Thinking of you today. Big hugs x
LORRAINE - well done on the crafting and sorting - how satisfying. Huggles x
NORAH - I am so pleased for you that peace has returned. It sounds like your O.H. had man flu - that is a very serious condition. If he gets it again I think that leaving the patient well alone - possibly solitary confinement is the best course of action. Will be thinking of you tomorrow. Lots of love x
URSULA - so sorry to hear about your brother - sending you love and hugs x
Still feeling a little jaded so will not be up to much today apart from making pancakes later for the boys.
Sunny thoughts to everyone
Crafty hugs

Stunning card Sue! Take care, Gilly R xxx
What a gorgeous card. I do think the striplets are my favourite kind of dies. There's so much you can do with them.
Hi Sue
A realy beautiful card today. I love the lattice striplet and the colours. I am looking forward to watching the video later. I treated myself to some smoothies the other day, and will be deciding which colour colour clouds to purchase soon.
I think that striplet is one I would like too....
Love Helen xx
Hello Sue,
Such a pretty card in lovely soft colours! Just gorgeous!
Haven't seen the video yet - I will later! Promise!
Love and hugs to you and all who are going through tough times. Xxxx
Very beautiful. Every time I see you use the lattice striplet, it moves up on my wish list. Think I'll order it today.
Wonder if the flower could be cut and made using thin craft foam...it comes in many colors....hummmm Have you ever tried it?
I'm so enjoying my string flowers...they would work on a card design like the one in your video today.

A beautiful card. The lattice window striplet die is growing on me, and I think it will have to go on to my wish list. Love the colours
Margaret x
Love the card, love the striplet, love the colour. No more to be said except thank you Sue. Xx
Hi Sue. How did we ever manage without the colour cloud collection that's what I keep thinking, and sooo many to chose from at a brilliant price too, I'm still using my pretty in pink from the smooth 'booby' I dipped two days ago, they will last forever that I'm certain !
I've even coloured some of your felt to match a card it worked brilliantly you'd never have guessed it wasn't naturally that colour when I bought it, so who ever thought that one up deserves an OBE for ink innovation lol.
I'm hoping that this beauty will have made you smile again today ?
It has me, it's a real lovely card and made with some of my favourite dies too.
Thinking of you so much Sue.
Sending my usual gentle hugs.
Lancashire Steph xx
So very pretty!

Hello Sue.
Beautiful Card. I love the Lattice Window striplet and your sparkly background, this is one I will copy. Great idea to colour felt to match your card. Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes
Beautiful card, the Lattice Window Striplet is one of my favourite dies and I have used it so many times. I am afraid I may wear it out.
Wendyx
Elegant and pretty! TFS!
Hi Sue, a really beautiful card today in my favourite colour and size. The window lattice striplet with the sparkle behind it is gorgeous. I love the diamond foldover flower and was so thrilled when my first one turned out perfectly that I had to carry on and make more and more :-)
After a damp start we have sunshine again this afternoon so I am sending some to all who need it.

Absolutely stunning card! The soft wisteria colour peeking through the beautiful striplets is a wow factor for me. My favourite card of 2016...so far!

Sue This card is just great. Love the striplet and the colour is one of my favourites. Thank you and keep your chin up . Thinking of you Maureen (mem)
Absolutely stunning card Sue, I love that striplet die and somehow
I have overlooked it.
But not anymore as it is on the top of my list as it is so pretty on your card.
Love the wisteria colour too. just perfect.
Absolutely beautiful Sue, love the striplet die.xx
Hi again Sue. My apologies for my earlier comment I'm really not as thick as I made myself look ! I realised that I'd not checked in before I had to leave home for my hospital appointment so I quickly admired your card for today without reading what you had typed. It's only when I just watched your tutorial and noticed you had expressed the ease of inking felt that I realised I had been countering on about it earlier !!! What a complete numpty, and how idiotic do I feel lol that'll teach me to read/watch before adding my 10 pence worth - right ?!!?
Sending love n hugs.
Lancashire Steph xx
Hi Sue
Just love this striplet such a beautiful card, I have just ordered some colour cloud not very good at colouring but you have inspired me to give it a go.

Hi Sue,
Another stunner, love the way you used the striplet dies, the way you coloured the felt was great too.
Di B x
Hi Sue
Oh what a stunner I absolutely love this card.
June x
Wow wow wow Sue
What a stunning card and in my favourite colours as well. I'm off to watch and learn.
Hi Sue
Watched the video,brilliant.Loved the choice of dies on this cards and an absolutely
stunning card.
Beautiful card as always my dear. I have three striplets already but think I am going to have to get this one too. Going to Gloucester on Thursday for an appointment so I will take it as meant to be if the craft shop has it in.
Today was tiring as I had to travel to Bath for a physio assessment. Very nice young lady taught me how to use my stick properly and gave me a little exercise for my knees. Trouble is they really ache now and I hope it doesn't disturb my sleep. I will be doing a fibromyalgia coping course and will spend four hours one day a week for four weeks there. With the travelling on top I shall be exhausted.
Tomorrow it's a mammogram to look forward too.
Tracy, you sounded quite chipper having your chemo. I hope the after effects are not too bad x
Laine, I can really empathise with the heart break you are going through x
I am sorry I know others are going through grieving but I can't remember who, sorry and massive hugs for you all
Discussing my symptoms today brought up a lot about when my Dad was poorly and then died. Such an awful time and it all has its repercussions.
Crikey I am being miserable. Apologies again. I must try and do some crafting tomorrow and perhaps forget about it all.
Wishing good things to all xxx
Oooh I am late Beautiful card I will watch video as Doo as I have a bit more time x
Hi Sue,
Absolutely gorgeous card. Love it.
Much love,
Shirley T.
Very pretty card Sue!! Love the Wisteria color.
I have caught up with all the cards and video's now Sue and they are all just gorgeous, I have been poorly with this horrible cold doing the rounds and it has left me with a shocking cough, but mustn't grumble there are worse off than me,
Thinking of you Sue and Laine, Tracy, Melody, Francis and Molly and anyone else suffering, hugs Johanna
Hi Sue,
As Pam said first thing, we're glad you're our friend too, Sue (couldn't have put it better myself, Pam!). Looking at the card, you'd never know that the felt had been coloured by ink and oh wow, what a stunning card! The striplet is on my next shopping list as its gorgeous. I must move fast as there's a few embossing folders I'd like and I'd like to get in before they sell out!
Hope you're OK Sue, big hugs to you and your family x
Ursula, condolences on the loss of your brother, big hugs x
Laine, thinking of you and your family at such a difficult time, big hugs x
Molly, Melody and family, big hugs x
Tracy, hope you don't feel rough after today, not long to go now! Thank you for thinking of me, Big hugs x
Sarah (fame01) hope your sons hospital appointment goes well, hugs to both of you x
Norah, peace at last! Don't push yourself too hard over the next few days. Thank you for thinking of me, big hugs x
Yvonne, don't rush back into things, take your time. Thank you for thinking of me, big hugs x
Lorraine F, physio is always tiring, A lot of these pain courses can be very confronting and that on top of intense sessions can be exhausting. I've been on good ones and very bad ones in the past. I truly hope the sessions help you to manage your condition so you can enjoy more of your life - especially the crafting. Encouragement and big hugs x
Jan D in Florida, craft foam (we call it 'funky foam', it's more marketed to kids here but a lot of crafter's use it) flowers, what an inspired idea! I must try that with the flower dies I have soon as I can, thanks for sharing such a good idea, hugs x
Marg, P in Wales, Jan from Long Island, thank you so much for thinking of me, hugs x
Lynda, special hugs as always from myself and Billy x
Nanna didn't have her drain out today, she said it was "only a little setback". I'm majorly frustrated I can't get to her, she's 2 miles away in the local hospital! I'm going to text my brother to see if he can take me tomorrow afternoon if she's still in but it depends on his shift. Sure I can sit for long enough and if not I'll use the meds.
I have to try to make a condolence card for my late neighbours family tomorrow. Until her last year she kept a wonderful garden, rose bushes everywhere, which her son is keeping in, bowling green lawn, pansies, hyacinths and all sorts. I have a lovely rose stamp, one of the first rubber stamps I brought and I will make a card with that. I think her children will really appreciate it.
Today I kept the migraines at bay by spending most of it horizontal. When I did sit up it was on with the neck brace until I felt that heady tingle, then back laying down- which does my back no favours! I have worked out how I can use my tablet etc without pushing my neck down to look at my lap. I have my spare support cushion, a sofa cushion and a TV tray on my lap topped with a book holder. I can rest my arms on the tray too so I'm not hurting my arms holding the tab still. I feel like a 'para' version of The A-team!!!
Another hour plus its taken to post but I had so much to say. Thank you everyone who left me their best wishes, your support and concern means a lot. Big hugs to all and every one of you, especially those dealing with the loss of a loved one, I know there are more of you than I mentioned today, I'm thinking of you, also thinking of those who are ill, in treatment or in any kind of pain. Wishing for smiles, sunshine, happiness for everyone and a wonderful Wednesday XXX

Hi Sue
What a beautiful card. I really must get the Cathedral die it seems so versatile. Colour cloud ink is brilliant I have done much more inking since I purchased some. Need more though.��
