It has not been a good year for me health wise and my cards and blogs have been sadly neglected. I did make family cards during the year but only posted a few. I am hoping to turn over a new leaf in the New Year and do more.<br /><br />Wishing you all a Merry Christmas, blessings, and health and happiness<br />for 2012 </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPTlrDd_7F3C3v5Z0y8B8GHfLDVTkAq6vO0eKrzG6Qw2EPmhCxNxwUN32E09VNQtTbbcrFl0cXk0tkn20c7nOitjHF9A9puQhfgYPscmEhdumrPYv19E8oUxjrDq6O38E2w6TH3bW6biw/s1600/Merry4.gif"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 158px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPTlrDd_7F3C3v5Z0y8B8GHfLDVTkAq6vO0eKrzG6Qw2EPmhCxNxwUN32E09VNQtTbbcrFl0cXk0tkn20c7nOitjHF9A9puQhfgYPscmEhdumrPYv19E8oUxjrDq6O38E2w6TH3bW6biw/s400/Merry4.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5689729025642154498" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"> <img style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85698/lizbe/9db64e12e74c61683110d11083722d71.png" border="0" /></a>Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11334974578522046228noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7422101817483816840.post-36328347085378195662011-08-12T16:44:00.003+01:002011-08-12T16:50:29.015+01:00Update<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsAHQyb18YxMtLinIcldbqmZiYrmnHdkwri1xb8pxsDn4asU5KqNWI-bL3w0oB50kqcTg8myT5Wz42PLFzSiJPaatPbZhdR6on2S14URkBtNhVMWUYbTEEaBNoLY4VTGf9OzmNtafl6I0/s1600/IMGP2553.jpg">

<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">It's been quite a while since I have been on my blog so apologies to everyone. I am still in a lot of pain with my hand and arm so not much cards being made. I am now waiting for an operation which hopefully will happen in the next few months. Meantime I have made a couple of cards - one for my grand-daughter's 18th and one RSVP for a wedding invite. Nothing fancy just added the usual glitter, ribbons and jewels.

I feel really guilty and have no excuses for the absence - I just didn't feel like crafting or chatting.<br />Health wise the specialist finally put me onto insulin injections and although at first I was really disappointed and concerned about the weight problems it has turned out better than expected. My blood sugars are finally getting near normal, also my blood pressure and I have managed to keep the weight off that I lost so I am well pleased. Won't say it's been perfect as have had lots of problems with my arthritis and other things but I'm not complaining.<br />I have made a few cards in lieu of going of on holiday next month so I will be posting them over the next few weeks. Here are the first three so hope you like them as I have kept it simple with just a few embellishments.</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAfE058QJq1PXx-ZY6vQaIA831LB2zN5XlsXQABf87506eqpJqjE7tblBGR760nfknzKviaLNahw_YFIQQojPJO8WbWZGMxp4CpJhw_YzYahfweLxOAvyavvC89JFuEyPvTLi-Sy0D0EY/s1600/IMGP2514.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 234px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAfE058QJq1PXx-ZY6vQaIA831LB2zN5XlsXQABf87506eqpJqjE7tblBGR760nfknzKviaLNahw_YFIQQojPJO8WbWZGMxp4CpJhw_YzYahfweLxOAvyavvC89JFuEyPvTLi-Sy0D0EY/s320/IMGP2514.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504126611827431778" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9WDvuUhI-p2s-kEXDx4ScrDGhCNSaPOvKHahoR1Fh1eRhIe7cZ1CWvA7O2o9Q8FOTeGxbCULJIxluKenaUAV71x0RAy106tMzKtxCrJHv7aSrPAyaxWbXk5eFFooDkbLhpdvSm5Lgi10/s1600/IMGP2513.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 252px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9WDvuUhI-p2s-kEXDx4ScrDGhCNSaPOvKHahoR1Fh1eRhIe7cZ1CWvA7O2o9Q8FOTeGxbCULJIxluKenaUAV71x0RAy106tMzKtxCrJHv7aSrPAyaxWbXk5eFFooDkbLhpdvSm5Lgi10/s320/IMGP2513.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504126614947793714" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAUqQdcCUrMaFrtHE3v4vxiJL8uP1a0mouKzT-KMzVZO9KGww0fru5C5HVM91jpwN2wwA9hd4i6taAVUTaM0QBCTsJ9YK0wQB6T_Gb2C7MMw97E35vhNmlrtZry7UtlB5pN54nIyiVgo8/s1600/IMGP2512.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 255px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAUqQdcCUrMaFrtHE3v4vxiJL8uP1a0mouKzT-KMzVZO9KGww0fru5C5HVM91jpwN2wwA9hd4i6taAVUTaM0QBCTsJ9YK0wQB6T_Gb2C7MMw97E35vhNmlrtZry7UtlB5pN54nIyiVgo8/s320/IMGP2512.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504126617124834898" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">Haste ye back..............</span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"> <img style="border: medium none; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85698/lizbe/9db64e12e74c61683110d11083722d71.png" border="0" /></a>Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11334974578522046228noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7422101817483816840.post-19491647902678048952010-04-21T19:17:00.004+01:002010-04-21T19:30:31.491+01:00Weight Loss<span style="font-style: italic;">Well it's been a while since I wrote about my diabetes. I had the clinic on Tuesday and I am glad to report that I lost another 2.3 kilos so all in all I have lost<span style="font-weight: bold;"> 2st 6lbs</span> in weight which I am really pleased about. Unfortunately, my blood sugars are still not under control and am now taking the last step of upping my dosage of metaformin to 6 x 500mg a day on top of my injections and all the other pills I have to take. I really don't know what else to do as I have tried all the things the diabetic nurse has suggested and nothing seems to take the blood sugars down. This morning was one of the best readings at 13.2 which is still very high. If this doesn't work then when I see the specialist in June she might say I have to go onto insulin which is the very last thing I want.</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Anyway, will cross that bridge when it happens. <br /><br />Meantime I have used one of my stash cards that I made last year added a few finishing touches and an insert for our cousins 87th birthday on Saturday. I hope it will cheer her up as she is now residing in a home down in Surrey.</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4AbC0bs9-1AAn3gURR_vAqRQ5kav5pRWJDjwbR2dhIcur0IenF6UmnoK7KkW-jtG9c1SSh93k8R4CoZneDUl0_QQB_DhrdQ_Wpj95A-1SOTlVSpGpJzuH3gfmy1AgyW29ydt-V7yY5zI/s1600/IMGP2511.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 230px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4AbC0bs9-1AAn3gURR_vAqRQ5kav5pRWJDjwbR2dhIcur0IenF6UmnoK7KkW-jtG9c1SSh93k8R4CoZneDUl0_QQB_DhrdQ_Wpj95A-1SOTlVSpGpJzuH3gfmy1AgyW29ydt-V7yY5zI/s320/IMGP2511.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462658810532653026" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"> <img style="border: medium none; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85698/lizbe/9db64e12e74c61683110d11083722d71.png" border="0" /></a>Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11334974578522046228noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7422101817483816840.post-33710039792006753992010-04-17T17:17:00.003+01:002010-04-17T17:24:07.839+01:0060th Birthday<span style="font-style: italic;">I wanted to make this a special card for a friend's 60th but when it came down to it I just didn't have the time or mojo to do it.

What with my computer giving up the ghost and not feeling like making any cards with the horrible weather we have had, the weeks have flown by. I cannot believe that it is March already and a few brave crocus's are coming out to bud which is lovely to see in the last few sunny days we have had.<br />I have made some cards but forgot to take photo's as the computer was away getting fixed. Anyway today I finally sat down and made one for a forthcoming anniversary. Nothing too fancy so hope you like it.<br /></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJbpQMlZwkt6NpCxrl9YjABJXBjsJ57qIYWschLLY-IW2CclhsmdZrjy9bL_iRk9wTtGPkCYto7aq0-PBhPh6oR1F6xquttCsrBq3CITN8RjGaJwJqodEFnl9Yp746ymPgwHv6l7bEBdY/s1600-h/IMGP2507.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 233px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJbpQMlZwkt6NpCxrl9YjABJXBjsJ57qIYWschLLY-IW2CclhsmdZrjy9bL_iRk9wTtGPkCYto7aq0-PBhPh6oR1F6xquttCsrBq3CITN8RjGaJwJqodEFnl9Yp746ymPgwHv6l7bEBdY/s320/IMGP2507.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447425018340700242" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">Thanks for stopping by and haste ye back.............</span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"> <img style="border: medium none ; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85698/lizbe/9db64e12e74c61683110d11083722d71.png" border="0" /></a>Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11334974578522046228noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7422101817483816840.post-40486311628325779432010-01-09T17:26:00.002+00:002010-01-09T17:42:07.661+00:00Welcome 2010<span style="font-style: italic;">Well here we are in 2010 and I hope all my followers and crafting friends had a lovely Christmas and New Year. Myself and hubby had a lovely Christmas with the family then unfortunately my lovely no 1 son decided to share his cold with us so we were laid up from Boxing day until after the New Year. It was very, very quiet with the horrendous weather we are having and so treacherous on the pavements and roads that I have been stuck in the house. Today is the first day I have ventured out via hubby and the car and only downtown to get my new spectacles and a few messages then home again.<br />We did get forms to renew our passports and got some passport photos [ugh] the second stage in organising our holiday this year. The first stage was booking the fights which is in September to Canada for three months, we are so looking forward to it.</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Hubby retires then hence the long holiday to see family and friends over there.</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">No cards or crafting yet but hoping to get back to it soon. Take care and haste ye back...</span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"> <img style="border: medium none ; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85698/lizbe/9db64e12e74c61683110d11083722d71.png" border="0" /></a>Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11334974578522046228noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7422101817483816840.post-11143900474883209952009-12-18T16:17:00.004+00:002009-12-18T16:29:45.079+00:00Christmas Wishes<span style="font-style: italic;">This is my last post for a while as the festive season gets closer and closer, and still got lots to do so........<br /><br />To all friends and followers wishing you a lovely Christmas with your families and all the happiness and health in the world for 2010. </span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVFECjNI4yVUc-qfGTEPcBg5szKzsNWz4ftNGF06E0Upk4ip30-N4TvphrNm21xe_F9UsZ-8Bf60WEtjOBhe2CiGjAEuj_6gBWASezrm8pEK1EnJd5jKoad8dX-7yvsBR0tKHFaMJyEZ4/s1600-h/Merry4.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 158px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVFECjNI4yVUc-qfGTEPcBg5szKzsNWz4ftNGF06E0Upk4ip30-N4TvphrNm21xe_F9UsZ-8Bf60WEtjOBhe2CiGjAEuj_6gBWASezrm8pEK1EnJd5jKoad8dX-7yvsBR0tKHFaMJyEZ4/s400/Merry4.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416612996098352274" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggZ4kEc9Bgn-SpO88A5Gv8EPexOCtaDVSxswbj8-q8PCqQWUhK_P3_ocaYg9Y11Q0k_ZSJ2bfdVHGkHWQzCKOJukq15f-1DopZN7LgsBPQji_q4zt8qsHndpp9alPu0bC977sToVXh-1o/s1600-h/globe1a.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggZ4kEc9Bgn-SpO88A5Gv8EPexOCtaDVSxswbj8-q8PCqQWUhK_P3_ocaYg9Y11Q0k_ZSJ2bfdVHGkHWQzCKOJukq15f-1DopZN7LgsBPQji_q4zt8qsHndpp9alPu0bC977sToVXh-1o/s400/globe1a.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416612985885148466" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">See you in the New Year.........</span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"> <img style="border: medium none ; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85698/lizbe/9db64e12e74c61683110d11083722d71.png" border="0" /></a>Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11334974578522046228noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7422101817483816840.post-73135166619905971252009-12-17T11:36:00.003+00:002009-12-17T11:45:50.846+00:00Anniversary<span style="font-style: italic;">It's our wedding anniversary a few days after Christmas so while I was still in the mood I made this card for hubby. </span><span style="font-style: italic;">I used some beautiful 12 x 12 papers I had cut them to size [sacrilege I know but needs must].
