Shrink plastic on cards

Those of you who read my subversive blog will already have had a sneak look at my shrink plastic makes on these cards but not the finished cards... so here they be:

First was for my 10th wedding anniversary last Thurs. Had a few problems (and lots of swearing) as after all the disappointments with no-party-times and no going away times- stupid body!) but finally came up with this card which was heartfelt but simple :)




Might use the heart on a necklace or something so all my hours spent making the darn thing weren't wasted, lol...

The next one was for my Mum's birthday on Friday




Hope you like them

Agh

I can't move very well and it's all very completely owwwch

.....still glad I went out tho

.....cos I'm a stupid hehe

I went out!

...I went out!...or What's Rocking My World Saturday... lol...

Just a quick post to let you know before I lay shaking in the bedroom after all the effort..lol

I went out!!!!

I decided to try the short walk (with hill!!) to school early today so that I'd have plenty of recovery time Should It All Go Wrong.

Look..here is me all excited... lol



Jumper dress, although It Seemed A Good Idea At The Time, was far too hot and I got all sweaty. We stopped a few times en route and eventually we got to the school! (Well outside it lol)



After a rest we set off back with Little Myz allowed into the park on the way back for 5 mins as she's Been A Good Girl.

Can't say I feel physically great, but needs must, and I NEEDED TO GET OUT! lol...

So can prob manage that a few next week let's see how the rest of today and tomorrow go...

OMG I GOT OUT! lol

*hugs*

Rocking Your World Friday

Worse week grr

Good things:

Dog



Good company. A bit clingy but she's always there for me while I'm stuck here in the house

Scary friends



Talking to you on the phone during the most inappropriate times..makes me laugh

New things

Deciding to try something new when stuck in bed, getting the huuuugest needles from your bamboo needle pack and putting two wool threads together and making a blanket for teddy



Yes that's Corrie. Found out this week I have won one of the characters from the Harvey's ads either side of Corrie.. so wonder what I'll get :)

Poor daughter turning it around

Late Weds she fell off scooter- ow



Had fitful sleep and lots of pain lip wise... but in morning she had an assembly at school which she had lots of narrating to do and a very important job to be a chick. Came through with flying colours



Also hubby who took the day off work and gave me photos of the assembly



Sister

For sending me this postcard Just Because... to make me smile



So many people have said they will send me things and then not bothered (yes yes, I realise everyone else not stuck in the house has a very busy life and is prone to forget lonely people that are.. :P ) it's lovely to get a surprise you weren't expecting lol

(I didn't hurt myself on the edges- so go me!) ;)

New Laundry hamper

Other very much falling to bits as you can see...



So after many months of ooh and ahhing and a near spike incident involving runabout dog I searched Ebay and got a new one



Noice..



Have a nice Friday and weekend I hope next week goes off better for us all

*hugs*

Rocking Your World Friday

Ok

This week has been particularly tough- lots of going backwards health wise lots of tears and lots of other stuff that I can't go into

..but having jumped back onto the Rocking Your World wagon last week I really felt as if I should continue....

So here's what rocked my world this week :)

Skinny Cow Triple choc brownies


5 syns... ultra tasty.. nuff said!

My Kids

They really make me laugh (sometimes!) and for that I am so thankful. Too much sh*** going down at the moment yet these guys keep me from dropping off the deep end into the ocean of tears.. love em so much

Tea



Never, never NEVER underestimate The Power Of Tea. It's got me through some very tough times and if I ever run low (less than 20 bags) I get the shakes lol... Don't get me wrong I don't drink it all day but... mm... teeeaa....

Crafting

Ok, so I haven't done any for quite a few days but I managed to finish this last Friday which was a present for hubby's best friend



It was supposed to be a book but shhhh wasn't well enough so used my noggin and made a board

Woohooo see... one of the cruddest weeks I have had for a while yet there are still some things that you can find that are cooooolio :)

Find some and hook your post up with Virginia ... it's always great to hear about what other people are grateful for... it sometimes jogs your own memories ;)

Mmmmwah

40th Birthday Board

Hello

Myz made this for a friend of her hubby's 40th birthday. Great ambitions for a book were cast aside what with the wobbliness and general yuckiness so it became a board instead as time was at a premium

She started with a board covered with a 12x12 paper from Smirk 'for him' papers...

Each photo was framed with shiny blue card cut out with some square nesties and glittered with blue glitter pens and printed out words were also framed with the same card to give an overall effect not usually seen in a Myz design..... woohooo conformity ;P



Only one word phrases as Myz' brain a little dead right now :P

So here it be hung up with a glittery ribbon:



Myz couldn't get to the party due to 'damn body letting me down yet again' ... she still hasn't got out of the house other than a cup of tea sitting outside the door and general washing hang-uppness that cause much of next day bed staying in-ness :P

..she was. however, rewarded with cake

...and Myz LOVE DA CAKE!!



Nommy nom nom nom!

Rocking Your World Friday

(been writing since wednesday-ish lol just so could finally post)


Ok. So I'm sat at home with minimum potterage... still quite a bit of painage and no going outside age....

...but there must be some things this week that have rocked my world?

Been thinking about it since yesterday and... here they are!!!!

(1) My massagers




Help really well with the painage and sufferage... this usb one is the nuts... and also I have one I use on my legs and feet in the bath which has little balls inside that I think have fairies in... cos they are sooo goood..... I likes those fairies :)

(2) My wonderful kids

They have been brill the past few weeks. Ok, so son-of-mine has teenager hormones and Little Myz has a tendency to chatter chatter sing and chatter all day...usually at high volume... but when the chips are down they are so helpful :) As they is the only kids I has and am ever going to have.... I am glad that I have been left with these ones not worse ones (*)

My delightful 5 year old came home with this yesterday... for those of you without such ickle ones now we aren't allowed to correct spelling (??!!??) as they write phonetically.... I am very much hoping I'll be allowed to hothouse her spelling wise soonish... as it's driving me up the wall... but if you can read it... it's really really sweet......




Happy

Happiness is light purple
Sparkling firework make me happy
Happiness is cuddly teddies
Happiness smells like strawberry cake
Happiness tastes like minty ice cream
Happiness sounds like calming songs

*sniff* she definitely makes me happy!!!! (.....usually.....lol)

(3) my crafting

Have been able to finish various things this week so even though I can't do the stand uppage my concentration is a lot better than it was so yeay for that. It definitely lifts my mood to be able to create something that will last for a while (or finish it off)



I am proud of something else I managed to finish off this week but I can't blog that... not yet at least as it hasn't been given to said blokie yet. Nothing Earth-shattering but it's better than a card and a slap on the back hehe.. and I like it.. I might make one for me :)

(4) Good Food

Ok, so my body is doing ***** things at the moment and major failing all over the place, but at least I can put into it tasty food for when the amblage gets sorted and I can have a nice wander. Who knows what's going in there but I can try as much as I can to put nice healthy food in when I can bear making the blooming stuff (which is another positive as I can stand up more now than last week.. get in!)




(5) Being Positive

I must admit, this week has been a tough one for me but do you realise how much different your face can look when you contort it into various positions? :)

Before:



Note the cruddy eyes lol..

After:


Heyy..where'd those cruddy eyes go??? lol

try it and see ;)

..and then hook up with Virginia... our Mighty leader...


Big hugs!!!!!

(*) you do realise, though, that I reserve the right to slate them, swear about them and generally have a go about them in my next post as it won't be a Friday? .... :P
