Race for life 2008 For the angel that touched my life.

This is a very special picture.
I would like you to meet my Mum In-Law
Wendy.
The angel that touched my life.
She is the reason why I do the race for life every year.
In memory of a fantastic lady who fought cancer for many years,
in the end she just could not fight anymore.
I am asking you all to dig deep,
Please sponsor me for my 3rd time doing the race for life.
I will also add a link at the left of this page, please visit it.
This should have been my 4th race, but I was unable to do it last year,
I was in hospital after having the surgery done on my back.
I want to raise enough money to cover the race I missed and this years race.
Thank you for your support.
Love & hugs for you all
Kerry

A gift for a Teacher on maternity leave.

My son's school teacher has left to have a baby,
so I made this as a gift from us for her babies nursery.
A more detailed view of each section.
These were the packaging from some rolls of ribbon.
Of course I had to use Tilda stamps!The back of the top one, for details of baby.The middle section.I had to use colours to suit both boys and girls.I thought a photo might fit well on here.The last section, a cute tilda with a baby.I also thought it would be nice for them to write there first thoughts down.
She was very pleased with her gift, and said she would hang it in baby's room.

Making up for lack of crafting!

I think I have been in overdrive these past two nights.
I made a total of 16 pages!
Trying hard to get my childrens scrapbooks
into some kind of order!
This is how far behind I am.
My son's first Birthday ( he will be 5 this year!!!)
Splish Splash he was having a bath!
Tiny hands that hold on tight. My son loved flying high on daddy's leg!My daughters first Easter.
Silly hat and cute sleeper!How fast did she grow?Doing the washing, gardening and having fun!A cute girl in lilac!We had a naming day for both out little ones
to welcome them into our family.
It was a very special day, that I will always remember!My son's first Nativity, when he was in Nursery.
A cute picture of them both, at easter time.

I would love to read your comments on these pages.

A little sunshine.

I am sending everyone sunshine and smiles.
I think we all need them right now!
I have been at the hospital these past two mornings.
Long stories short,
I am being looked at as they think I could have the start
of rheumatiod arthritis.
Blood tests and x-rays of hands and feet done.
An ultra sound scan to come on my hands.
I go back in 3-4 Months.
They think I am not showing signs yet but it could be the start!
Today I went about loss of feeling in my right foot.
Another long story, after surgery on my spine last summer.
To relieve sciatic pain, I noticed my right foot had lost sensations.
Today I have learnt, IT will NEVER get better,
but I am lucky not to loose power!
Return in a year to make sure it stays as it is,
then I will be discharged.
Oh well at least I am living and walking.

No Crafting this weekend!

I can not believe that the weekend has gone by and I have done no crafting!
Its very strange for me not to have something to show you all on here.
I got a cold on Friday evening, and have felt so rough, its hit me hard this time.
Oh well must carry on and try to tidy up after the half term holidays,
my son is back at school with a new teacher! I just hope he gets on ok.
Hope you all have a good day, enjoy the sun if you have it ;-)

Paper Take Weekly Challenge 'Stripes'

I made this card just now!
For the Paper Take Weekly Challenge.
It had to include stripes,
the image was part of the blog candy I won,
I used Marvy Pens to water colour it.
Both Papers are off a Funky Hand disc!
I think they look great with this image.
