Knee Injury Update!

Just thought i would update you all about my knee injury. It happened 3 months ago and on Wednesday i saw a specialist for the first time and because i had such a long wait to see someone he has pushed me forward for keyhole surgery for next Wednesday so if i'm MIA you will know why.

I can't wait to get this sorted out!!

Also, i would like to give a huge shout out to one of my neighbours who loaned me a wheelchair and the staff and customers of my local Post Office for all of the kind assistance they have given to me!

As the PO has steps at the entrance some customers have actually lifted me into the shop and the staff have asked if i want any aisles cleared so that i can get around.

Thanks to you all!

Tilda's Birthday Gift Bag

Urgh! What a horrible day today, windy and raining!

Never mind, i wasn't planning on going out so i'll just have to craft all day long, lol!

Here's a pretty little bag i made using a template (sorry i can't remember where i got the template).

I used Crafters companion's Centura Pearl CS and embossed some lines on using my Ultimate Pro.

I've used one of my older Tildas ( Tilda with small gift) and i've coloured her with Promarkers and added lots of glitter to her dress and glossy accents to her shoes. Used lots of bling, PM flowers and a ribbon bow. This is ideal for giving with a little gift inside!

Perfect for giving a little gift of crafty goodies!
