I'm still recovering from my ops which could take up to six months but I also have Multiple Sclerosis which has complicated things further. So I'll try to post as often as I'm able.
At long last I've managed to make a card. It only took me three weeks and I'd coloured the image before I went into hospital! I was going mad not being able to craft but while not being able to make cards, I was able to order craft stuff online and I think my hubby was worried I'd never use it all (and end up on a hoarding TV programme) so vigorously encouraged me to craft if only for ten minutes at a time. Lol. So here's my card which has a Saturated Canary image for a change.
Sorry it looks like I was drunk when I took the photo.

Sorry for the different sized photos but when I came to putting my watermark on the photos and realised I couldn't remember how to do it. Stuart, my hubby, had really kindly sorted all my craft stash into labelled boxes which he would get for me so I didn't need to bend. He did this under my supervision and we threw a few things away unfortunately this included the idiot's blog guide my eldest son had written for me. So my youngest, who came home for a couple of days, wrote me a new one which is a quite different and the photos didn't turn out as usual. I'm so grateful Kieran could help me with it or it would have been July before Chris came home to help me!
Anyway thanks for waiting for me and for checking in on me during all these weeks!!!
Sending you all the biggest hug,
