Cheryl's Christmas Challenge card

Good Morning Ladies,

I hope that you are all well and that your week got off to a good start, it was a quiet day in our house, I had a very slow start as my Sciatica came back to haunt me on Sunday, it was bearable on Sunday but I knew it was going to be worse yesterday as it was impossible for me to move in bed, its the first time I have had a bout of Sciatica since we moved in here, which is good going for me.

I did manage to get into the craft room in the afternoon, after about half hour I heard the door go and had a panic moment, thinking we had intruders, luckily it was Paul, he looked like someone had punched him in the eye, on closer inspection it was a blood vessel that had burst in his eye, now Paul's Dad has quite bad Glaucoma, which worried me as Paul has never had a 'proper' sight test.  Luckily the opticians in Swindon had an appointment and would see us as soon as we arrived.
The Optometrist was happy about the pressure in Paul's eyes, so they ruled out Glaucoma, he does need glasses, he is Longsighted in one eye and shortsighted in the other, so they have recommended that he has Varifocals, good luck to him is all I can say, a lot of people struggle with Varifocals though, but as he has never, ever had an eye test his eyes might adapt better than someone that has worm a certain type for years and then changes to varifocals.
It was hilarious watching him try and choose frames, but we got there in the end, he chose some free sunglasses too but they won't be ready until after our holiday, whish is a shame, apparently they wait to see if your eyes can adapt to varifocals ok before making up the sunglasses.

Today's card is Cheryl's Christmas version of last weeks challenge, it uses Categories:  Scallop/One Layer/Rectangle.
How amazingly organised are you Cheryl, getting your Mum & Dads Christmas card made already?!
I love this card, such a lovely verse and that flower display in the corner is fantastic.
Thank you so much for taking part my lovely xxx

Sue is coming Thursday this week so today I will be home alone and crafting, fingers crossed, its the getting up and down that I am struggling with, so hopefully just sitting on my craft chair should be fine.

I am looking forward to hearing all about Val's trip to Guadalest, I imagine she will be exhausted as it is super hilly, but the views are worth the effort. xxx

I hope you all have a lovely day,

Love and hugs to all,

Sandra
