To all my friends online especially the Imag-e-nation Forum here's wishing you a lovely Christmasand a very healthy, and happy 2009!
It's getting closer every time I post, so not long now folks until Christmas. At least I am finally catching up and have only half a dozen cards to make plus an Anniversary and Birthday one and then I can relax.
I didn't go out this weekend as my knee as usual was playing up but spent time doing my cards. My youngest son and his wife came for a flying visit on Sunday so it was nice to catch up with them both.
Watched the exciting final of X Factor and thought Alexandria was a well deserved winner, also watched my favourite Strictly Come Dancing but was annoyed about the voting and roll over in the end. I think a lot of voters were very disgruntled about it but the final next Saturday should be exciting.
Here are a few more cards that I made [forgot to photo some of them before I posted them all].
Not the best of photos
After a week in bed nursing this horrible cold & cough I ventured out today with OH's assistance to get my Christmas cards for Canada and abroad posted. I also bought 24 large stamps for more cards and 30 2nd class and was shocked to find the cost came to over £33 and that's without the cards, postage only! It's certainly getting pretty expensive, last year I paid £20 and thought that extortionate.We had a lovely lunch at the local 'Bakehouse' - the first decent meal we've had all week as we haven't felt much like cooking. After doing some shopping and ordering our Christmas meat from the local butcher I was ready to give in and go home as the pain in my knee was as bad as ever. It seems that whatever I do to rest it as soon as I start walking up and down the hills here [nothing is on a level] off it goes again.Hopefully I will manage to do some of the dreaded h****w**k tomorrow and try and catch up on some more Christmas cards. It would have been such a special day if my mum had still been alive, as we would have been celebrating her 95th birthday , unbelievable [ I still miss her so much].
Hello to all and welcome. After such a good week last week up until Thursday I am once again feeling awful! I was in so much pain with my knee on Thursday that I had to phone OH to come and pick me up and take me home [I was in Aberdeen for the day with my pal]. He was feeling pretty awful himself with a bad cold so we both ended up in bed by 4.30pm. Must be a first for us. OH has been nursing his cold all weekend and guess what -yes, he very generously passed it on to me. That's all I need, so once again in bed with nose, eyes and just about everything else running!! I so do not need this just now and am very disappointed that we missed our grand-daughters in their stage show at the Aberdeen Arts Centre but I heard that they were brilliant.
Oh well, back to bed with a hot drink and some cold remedies.
See you soon.........
PS It's also snowing hard and very cold, brrrrrr.
Take care to all my friends out there - have a wonderful Christmas and Best wishes for 2009.
