flowers in the garden

I love this new stamp of mine.
Dahlia from Greeting Farm.

It was so sunny and cheerful.
I sent it to a friend.
The backing papers are Bo Bunny.
I really love them.


I can not remember where I
found the sentiment.
The in bloom circular stamp is See D.
and the flowers are SU punches.
I used promarkers on to make the right
coloured card.

Now to my own wee flowers......

They love spending time chillin
in their garden.

Poppy had stopped digging,
but Bella ( Bless her.....)
has encouraged Poppy to take it up again......

This was planted out with herbs and shrubs....
Bella looks huge in these photos!

And when you are done....
you snugged up and go to sleep!

This is how they sleep!
The wee one gets too hot,
and moves away.
Just to move back again.
Poppy is so gentle with her!

Been a crappy day. Discovered someone
has hacked into our paypal and stolen £1500
from our bank account, leaving us with nothing!
Pay pal and our bank are investigating.

It's just pants really.

Hope life is better with you all. xxx

Friendship

I have several friends
who have Epilepsy.

Today is
National Epilepsy Awareness day.
So in honor of them
I wear purple.

This is my friend Craig and
his best Friend Cassie.

Today's card is purple and green.
and my Friendship is extended
to many people today.


Do not walk in front of me,
I may not follow.
Do not walk behind me,
I may not lead.
Walk beside me,
And be my friend.

Friends, one of life's greatests gifts!

my dearest mate B told me the most amazing news today.
It's a secret...so you can't tell anyone!!!

BUT!!!!!

She is after many , many many attempts of IVF and a lot of extra issues and drama's thrown in PREGNANT!!!!
We started the whole trying to get pregnant lots of years ago,
and she was one of the most comforting and supportive friend I met throughout all of it!
I gave up the whole IVF thing a few years back,
after yet another unsuccessful, heartbreaking failing attempt,
that left me so ill.....it was not the whole reason for my breakdown,
but a huge part of it.....

She supported me through all of that.
Through leaving nursing.
When Amy died.
When Andrew was diagnosed diabetic.
When my beloved doggies died.
When Poppy was so ill we thought we would loose her too....
When we decided to start adoption , she supported us then.

She has always been there, I feel like she has been in my life forever!
I wont go into details here , cause they are not mine to share.
B and her beloved Hubby will make fab parents.
They have two angels watching over them who I think of so often.

She was so aware of potential upset telling me today,
And I will admit I have been told by people they are pregnant in the past,
said congratulations and then cried when the phone call was finished....
But not today.
I want a blow by blow account of this pregnancy!
I want to know all about this much loved baby!

I love B like she was a sister to me!
A bloody scary sister at times!
And she sounds posh when she swears...unlike me!
Oh I swear...but I dinne sound posh at all!

B......I love you and C!
I am so proud of you both, for not giving up!
and as we said today...enjoy this moment.
