A lovely Card from Our Janet x

Good Morning Ladies,

Well it sounds as though the rain continues to cause problems across the country, we had a bit today but not too much, I was watching some 'Tree Surgeons', battle their way through the forest of trees in next doors garden yesterday morning, the wind was really strong, couldn't have been worse weather for them really, fascinating too watch, although I always think the trees look really sad when they have had a really good trim!  I was relieved that my head wasn't as painful too as their chainsaws and 'wood chipper' machine were going constantly from the early hours.

In fact I was glad to be feeling a little brighter as we had hair cuts at 9.30am and had I been feeling like I was Sunday/Monday there is no way I could have managed.  I had also promised to go with Sophie to have her first ever Blood Test, all three of my girls have a real fear of needles (not that anyone likes them)!  Blood tests are the worst though, it's not quite as ''in and out'' as having jabs.
Unbeknown to me Lucy had bought some 'Emla' (numbing) cream on line for Sophie to apply so that she wouldn't feel too much pain! (how sweet).  I did wonder why she was fiddling about with cling film half an hour before we left!!
She did come and say that she understood if I couldn't go but I had dosed up with flu pills etc and was all ready which bought a smile to her face.  I made sure to sit in a corner away from anyone so as not to contaminate them, luckily as it was noon the surgery was empty, also the nurse was the absolutely delightful lady we saw when we first joined the surgery, so don't to earth and such a giggle, so she put Sophie and ease straight away, it was all over in a couple of seconds and I think Soph was wishing she hadn't spent so much time worrying!  But at least it won't be as bad next time.
The only frustrating thing was the fact that she has to wait until the 9th of December for an appointment to get the results, they are testing to see if she has arthritis as her wrists are so painful, which isn't ideal when she spends 8 hours a day drawing. Fingers crossed it isn't that though!
I was ready to lie down by the time we got back though.   You know you aren't feeling right when you can't even manage to watch Craft TV!

I am so thankful to our Janet who very kindly sent me a couple of cards to use for the Blog as there is now way I would have been able to summon either the strength of the inspiration to make anything this past couple of days.
How Rich and Indulgent does this card look? I am guessing it's a Tonic die, that Janet has thread that gorgeous Green satin ribbon through, the gold and green works so well together.
Janet your card is stunning and would make anyone feel special on their Birthday, thank you so much for sending for me to share. xxx

I hope that you all stay warm and dry and have an enjoyable day,

Love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra
