Coffee for two

Hi all,

Sorry its been so long since I last posted a card, things have been really busy here with birthdays and end of year stocktake!! and I havent had time to craft since before madams birthday. I have finally had a bit of time this morning and decided to follow the sketch over at Ladybug Crafts Ink, this is the third week in a row I have managed to complete their challenge and I am really enjoying them - seeing as I have quite a few LCI stamps too I really should put them to good use. I love this image and really wish I had more time on my hands to do this sort of thing with my friends, however my BF did take me out to lunch this week for my b'day and we had a delish chinese meal and a gorge piece of choc cake for afters yum yum!!!.


I made the flowers by die cutting 3 circles, cutting them into a spiral and then rolling them up. I have seen these on quite a few blogs lately and finally decided to have a go at them, I am quite pleased with how they turned out and think they match the flowers on my paper perfectly.

On another note we were at the hospital this week with madam, and for the 3rd time in a row she has lost weight so not too good news so are now upping the anti with her food. Dont think the poor mite could possibly eat anymore with the amount we are trying to feed her lol!!!.  They have also put her on more antibiotics as a background measure as she seems to be picking up a lot of bugs and seems off quite a few times, they taste horrible (like liquorice) and we are now into bribeing.

Anyway thought I would show you a liitle picture of something that we call FUN physio - here she is in the garden using a `Bubble Pep' . Technically it is an empty milk bottle with a piece of oxygen tubing fed through, the bottle is half filled with a soapy mixture and Abbie has to blow as hard as she can to make the bubbles come out over the top. This gives her lungs a great workout and she sees it as a bit of fun which can only be a good thing.



Thanks for popping by my blog today, hope to be back soon.
