Hi Everybody,

I hope you are all still safe and keeping well. I have been for the scan on my right knee and I am now waiting for the results, which could take up to two weeks. I have had broken bones, an operation and two children but I have never had pain like this before. And I can’t  wait for it to go away, especially in my left hip and the cause of that is a mystery at present.

Anyway enough of that because the draw for yesterday’s offer has been done and the name today is ...

Hi Everybody,

Hope you are all well on this beautiful, scorchingly hot and sunny Saturday (joke) 

It is windy, cloudy and rainy here in Blackpool.  So where has summer and the nice weather gone?

I am sat here with my right leg raised for comfort and Ruby's snoring her head off  on the chair.

It’s a pity she can’t go and make us a cuppa .... now that would be good !! 

As you may have guessed I am no different and still waiting for something to happen via the doctors. I am only taking paracetamol at present until I go for the scan, which they have sent me an appointment for 5th August. So it looks like I will be suffering for a bit longer.

Thanks to those of you who have told me about your knee problems and that keyhole surgery is the way forward for cartilage troubles. It was very reassuring to me and I will of course keep you posted.

I have to say though that I am not ill, just in pain and walking and climbing stairs is a nightmare.

And of course with the craft room being up in my loft I am not getting a lot of work done.

But my sense of humour is still in tact though come what may.

I am hoping to be with Craft World Live next Friday so it may only be via Skype.

But I hope you can pop in to say hello all the same.

So let’s get to the draw for yesterday’s offer.

The name this week is .....

Marie Quick 

So would you email your postal address please to

christina@card-making-magic.com

and I will get it in the post to you just as soon as I can.

My apologies to Jacqueline who is still waiting for her pack to arrive but the post office is too far  for me to walk to and driving is a bit awkward too at present. But it is ready to go and I will send it just as soon  as I can

So now Ruby has woke up and is looking at me with those Spaniel eyes to get her dinner ready.

What a cushy life this dog has. Got to go ....

Friday Freebie - Sweet Sentiments

Hi Everybody,

Today's offering is something that can be used all year round and covers many occasions.

It consists of an Embossing folder, stamps and some dies.

Now the dies are bridged but they are easy enough to separate with some jewellery snips.

Store them on a magnetic sheet and then you won't lose them and keep them in a plastic CD wallet.

I am also including the magazine with the offer for you to browse through over a cuppa for inspiration and ideas, as well as other ideas that you may like to try.

So if this is a little set that you would like to have in your own crafting stash then all you have to do is leave me a comment at the end of this post with your FULL NAME. 

Please remember ... no full name -- no entry !!

One name will be drawn from the comments and notified in a blog post over the weekend so be sure to come back and check if it is your name that is shown.

I am happy to send the pack wherever you live and it doesn't matter if you have won before.

Good Luck

Hi Everybody,

Here I am feeling very sorry for myself at present and still in pain from my left hip and right knee. 

The results from the hip X-ray have shown that apart from general wear and tear, in relation to my age, everything is ok and the problem with the hip seems to be muscular. 

But the right knee is another story and the doctor thinks that I have damaged the cartilage. I have to have a scan on that to determine the extent And go from there. I am at present hobbling around on an elbow crutch until I get “fixed”. 

I can’t get up and down stairs properly and consequently I can’t get work done and hence no videos for you to view. Fortunately I have all my Friday Freebies done for a few weeks in advance and so they are going ahead as planned.

The winner today is ...

Jacqueline Koendering

Hi Everybody,

First an apology for my absence this week but I have not been well. I am having a problem with my left hip and on Tuesday I went to get an X-Ray to see what the problem is.

 And then I was climbing on a chair to clean some glass shelves and I have twisted my right knee so at the moment I am in a bad place.

I know !! I know !! .... I shouldn't have been climbing on chairs, my daughter has told me off in no uncertain terms, but the shelves really needed cleaning and so up onto the chair I went.

 At present it is difficult getting up and down stairs but I will be fine again soon. 

Buy my second apology goes to Stacey Kowbel, who won last weeks Friday Freebie, because I have been unable to post it to you as yet. But it is here and I will get it to you as soon as I can. I am so sorry xx

On to this weeks winner and the name that has been drawn today is ...
