That was the year that was!

Oh yes - and what a 12 months... 2 carpal tunnel surgeries, bulging discs with severe sciatica, Chris working away and to top it off one of my poor kitties has had some sort of accident and may lose a leg.

Sometimes I envy people who have a 'faith' to turn to in times of crisis. My husband is amazing and supportive luckily. But what also really give me a lift, a sense of not being alone, reassuring and motivational support are the on-line communities I belong to.

The two main Facebook pages I follow have been Tonic Studios (Craft Products) and Kit and Clowder (Colouring Community). I have had a lot of support from everyone and it has made a huge difference! So a big Thank You! to everyone on those pages.

Those of you who craft will recognise the benefits of being able to immerse yourself in creating and of course I've been doing that!

Here is a card I made with the new Tonic Studio's Memory Book Creator die bundle. Now the image doesn't do it justice! As this card is 8in x 8in! I know!

It's for my niece to give one of her friends!  Isn't it stunning?

See all the gorgeous confetti inside? That is the Tonic Nuvo confetti found in the packs of 4. I just love them and if I were a fortune teller I would be seeing lots of shaker cards in my future! Oh and LOTS of glitter.

Thanks so much for continuing to visit my blog. I know I don't post as regularly these days, but as you saw above... Life's been a bit rubbish and I'm just determined to stay positive!

OH and I forgot to mention - I've been smoke free for nearly 5 months!
