Oldie Friday



I'm joining Erika once again for Oldie Friday. Just as well really as I'm not really up to crafting today. I have chronic pain from my neck problem and have been having hideous side effects from my current pain relief. In order to switch to a different one I have to wean myself off my current one over a number of weeks. We're now at the point where in a couple of days I will just be on co-codamol rather than the stuff out of the controlled drugs safe in the pharmacy and boy can I feel it! It feels like someone is stood on my shoulders and is trying to twist my head off, whilst someone else has me in a very very tight bear hug crushing my back. At least I still have my vivid imagination! 
Enough woe is me, if anyone has any spare prayers or vibes please can you send them to my forum friend who has a 20 month old daughter with Charge Syndrome, Ava. Ava is in intensive care at GOSH and is in a medically induced coma due to her body being taken over by an infection. Her parents have been told to expect the worst sadly.
Right after all that, back to my oldie post. I think I made this card about 3 years ago from a Docrafts Hot Diggity Dog kit, with a few added flourishes and flowers made with my favourite punches from the coordinating papers. As you can see I still love my faux stitching all this time later!
Hope you all have a great weekend, I may be back with some colouring I did the other night as a distraction if I can turn it into something presentable.

  2. A really sweet image and card. I love decoupage and your image is beautifully set along side those gorgeous flowers. I hope you start to feel better soon when your pain management gets under-way.
