LPoCF#262 Rachelle Anne Miller

 Hello again,

Today brings us to another all new Anything goes Challenge with my team mates at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends. This fortnight we are sponsored by Rachelle Anne Miller who lives in South Australia. I have chosen Bunny and Guinea Reindeer ride to make a Christmas card for a friend who keeps two guinea pigs. Apologies for the photo, I resorted to taking it outside as the flash kept going off inside.


What I used:
Faber-Castell coloured pencils
Bo-Bunny Elf Magic Patterned paper
Kaisercraft tree die
Cottage crafts tree die
Circle die

I would like to enter this card in:

I thought I may have heard back from my specialist about surgery date, not yet. I do however know that I am likely to have to go into a rehabilitation hospital as I am having trouble being able to use crutches to get up/down stairs, the torn rotator cuff has not helped matters.  


Thank you for looking in, 

Have a wonderful week,

Megan

LPoCF #260 Polkadoodles

 Hello again, 

I hope your weather is being much nicer than ours, we have been stuck inside due to daily rain, on the days it does not rain it is still too cold to dry the washing on the line. A town about 20mins away had a large sandstone cliff give way, 200,000 tonnes, thankfully not at a time people may have been rock climbing. We are expecting snow in the area, in towns at a higher elevation.

I have a few exercises to do to build my shoulder in the hopes I will be able to manage crutches so I can have my ankle surgery, we have 4 steps to get onto the porch, one extra to get into the house, physio has also suggested shuffling up the stairs on my backside, getting moveable stairs to raise me high enough to sit on a chair, then manage only the step into the house, this will still need a degree of shoulder stability.

On to my card, Today brings us to another all-new Anything goes challenge with my team mates at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this fortnight we are sponsored by Polkadoodles, who gave the team two digi stamps to work with. I have used Parkie Polar Bear and Theo Penguin to make a Christmas Card.

LPoCF #258 Rachelle Anne Miller

 Hello again, 

We are currently enjoying warm winter weather, the washing has dried out on the line today, although last week we had snow flying around one day and high winds and no power for 12hours the next.

Today brings us to another new challenge at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, this fortnight we are sponsored by Rachelle Anne Miller Stamps who kindly allowed two of our team to choose an image from her store, I chose Christmas Ornaments, as here in Australia we are in the midst of 'Yulefest', local hotels started doing Christmas in July to boost tourists during our cold weather back in the 80's, now most big hotels offer a similar event.

Prize $10 Gift certificate for digi stamps

Here is my Card


What I used
White 17.8cm x 12.6cm card blank
RAM Christmas Ornaments Digital image
Doodlebug patterned paper
Rectangle dies
Clearly Besotted sentiment stamp
Faber Castell coloured pencils

I would like to enter this card in:

My blog has offered to fill in my post with previous, just like it has saved my name and address, it has apparently saved my previous blog posts. Who knew? 

For those of you who have been following my treatment, I am going to be having surgery, I will be not allowed to weight bear for 8-12 weeks, as I have also got a torn rotator, my physio will be working with me on building my shoulder enough to manage crutches, purchased a knee scooter for flat surfaces, but crutches will be necessary to get up the five steps into the house... no surgery date as yet.

Thank you for stopping by

Have a wonderful week...

Megan
