It Was Great News!!

Thank you for you prayers and thoughts, I am so much more than grateful.
Clair got Great News, the wide excision was clear of cancer!  Yes I am smiling broadly today.
She must have check ups every three months for five years, so we know she will have the best of chances of beating Malignant Melanoma

So it is onwards and upwards now, I can relax and begin to enjoy this new year.  Everything has been on hold really since November when I took ill and then a doctor felt a couple of Clair's moles were looking suspicious. She has had seven remved and one was malignant.

So we are both looking forward to getting on with life and living to the full.  So watch this space, crafting is near the top of my To Do List!!

Thank you so much for your kindness xxx

PS I have been trying to thank everyone who commented but Blogger is not letting me do do on some blogs, so please accept my thanks from here, thank you with love xx

Not WOYWW

This is Not the usual WOYWW Post and I apologise if my post offends anyone.

I am requesting Prayers and Positive thoughts  today for my beautiful daughter Clair as she goes for the results of her wide excision biopsy. Her appointment is at 3pm so if you can spare 30 seconds your thoughts and prayers would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you.

WOYWW

This is me trying to get my MoJo back, noseying at other workspaces is a great way to gain inspiration. Mind you on saying that, mine isn't at all today, but I am getting back in to the phenomenon that is WOYWW and will try to do better in the coming weeks.

Now to pop over to Mrs Dunnit's place where the magic begins...http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk/

New Year Hopes

Happy New Year.

I am hoping with the new year comes new inspiration to get back to crafting.  I have done nothing for months and have been wanting to sell all my crafting stuff.  But since my health scare my family are insisting I try to get back to it. So here I am making a start. I am looking for inspiration and motivation out here in Blogland so if you have any to spare, please send it my way.

Thanks

Sheilagh :)

Update

Not much crafting being done, my mojo has emigrated and I am thinking of selling up.
Mike is fully recovered Thank The Lord.
Conor is due home for two weeks R&R on December 30th, so Christmas will be late in our family this year. We will celebrate Christ's birthday quietly and have our party when the boy is home.
I have just spent a week in hospital and now have a heart condition. I was discharged on Friday and I am having trouble coming to terms with what has happened.  But hey, I'm alive, I have the chance to change some things, ie. weight and diet.

Thanks for calling by.

WOYWW

Yes it's me again, turning up intermittently, full of good intentions. Not had much time for crafting of any sort over the past couple of weeks.

But now my grandson Conor is in Afghanistan and I cannot sleep for thinking about him I thought, I will go a pay an early visit to WOYWW.

Here are some photo's of the finished book I made for Conor to take with him. I gave it to him just before he left. My idea was to produce a book/photo album that a Second World War soldier may have cobbled together. My family and friends thought it was fabulous, but they are not crafters of any sort.

I  am quite pleased with it, a very personal creation made with so much love, there were tears shed on several occasions over the weeks.  Conor was very touched astounded at the secrecy there had been in the weeks leading up to his being deployed and no one had let the cat out of the bag so to speak. The whole family contributed with photo's and letters and even the youngest didn't say anything to him about it.

Family letters in pockets.

My Rosary.

A prayer for Conor's safety.

Finished Book and Bag.

This is the first book I have ever made, it is far from prefect. But made with love and pride and filled with so many family hopes and good wishes it should keep him safe until he is home again in
April 2013.

Mike Is Home

Mike is home and taking things gentley, thankfully a full recovery is expected.
