Things come in 3's

Well that is definitely very true. I have finally decided that there comes a time in your life when you just have to say "Enough is Enough!"
1. Adam (my son) tore a muscle in his back (ouch!) rest, physio and painkillers for 2 weeks.
2. Last year Mum had Lucentis injections in her left eye to slow down the degenerative process, it was not really very successful, found out last week she has lost the sight in her right eye now, she is such a little trooper.
3. Bertie the young racehorse I have at the moment pulled me off my feet, pulled pectoral muscle (ouch!) rest, physio and painkillers for 2 weeks.
So "Enough already" the one good thing is I have to stay home and try to fill my time creatively!!!!!! I found LCI challenge blog interesting this week, "Anything but a card" so thinking cap, quick shuffle through ps and VOILA! My cousins daughter had a little baby a couple of months ago and although I had already given her a pressie and card I decided to surprise her with a wee added gift for Babies nursery. I used this tissue box, bought from Hobbycraft some time ago, covered it with Nit Wit papers, I can't get enough of these at the moment, they are so cute for Baby things, stamped Baby Baby images from LCI coloured with copics, I don't always feel too confident with these, I think I add too much colour at times, suppose it is all practice, added some glitter, buttons, ribbon and my own crochet flowers, mounted onto Nestie shapes, added sentiment and as this has taken me ALL WEEK I am exhausted LOL! Hope you like it.


I really must brush up on my photography skills, these pictures look so dark and there is a line on one side that is not on the actual thing! SPOOKIE ! I have a couple of cards to do so I am off for lunch before I get crafty, have a great weekend and stay safe, and I am really trying to stick to my "Enough is Enough" vow, Annette,


P.S. Thanks to all who have taken time to stop by and comment, it is very much appreciated. To all the clever, creative, inspiring  people out there, keep up the great work x
