Tilda's Christmas Box

Hi all! Before i share my creation i will give you an update on my surgery!

I arrived at the hospital at 7.30am, had the surgery at 11.00 and i was home by 1.30pm.

The consultant said that when he went into my knee i had torn cartilage and he removed them, also because my knee has been bent for 3 months he gave it a few pushes and pulls to loosen it up.

When i got home i just slept for hours, woke up had something to eat and then straight back to sleep, mind you i've been up since 3.00am this morning.

I started this box on Tuesday before i went in to hospital and this morning i have finished it!

Hope you like it!

Image - Magnolia's  'Joyful Tilda', Sentiment stamp is Marianne D's.

Medium - Sepia Archival Ink, Copics and TH Distress Markers

Tools - Magnolia's 'Sprawling Ferns' and 'Poinsettia'. Marianne D's Clock die, Go Kreate die and Spellbinders ribbon label.

Embellishments - Prima's 'Velvet trinkette', ribbon from Crafty Ribbons, Lace, flowers and brad are from my stash.

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!
