not good, bad blogger

well after what seems like ages since i even came on here a lot has happened.
first my older sister was rushed into hospital with a bleed on her brain, operated on and she is now recovering at home, thank god.
then 3 weeks ago i had the most excruciating pain i could ever imagine, i thought i was having a heart attack. ds called for an ambulance as he could see how much pain i was in even though i have a very high pain threshold. luckily it wasnt my heart but gall stones, yes , gall stones, how something so little could cause that much pain i will never know. anyway i came away from the hospital with an arm full of pills to take, 15 a day. i had a blood test and have to have a scan, still waiting for that, good old nhs.
last night i had another attack, so bad it made me throw up. i was in agony for over 4 hours, when i phoned the dr he said just to take paracetamol as the painkillers prescribed to me would make me sick again.
woke up this morning feeling like crap and it felt like i had been punched in the stomach loads of times.

i have managed to do some scrapping in the last few weeks but i am trying to get organised for the ukscrappers cybercrop starting on the 25th april, still got loads to do, scrapping wise, trying to catch up on the overlooked challenge and the a-z book as well as doing the weekly challenges and the daily challenges for the cc. on top of this lot i have been doing 14 hour days at work due to the fact that the kids i care for are on holidays from school til monday.

boxframed 3d layout

here is a 3d layout of my grand daughter, i then put it in a boxframe, the lo is 9x9. i painted the frame and put pp and embellies on it. i am doing one of my twin grandsons, these are going in my craft room once it is painted.

late night/ early morning

last night at about 11pm i decided to make a mini book that folded out to make 2 big pages, i tried to sleep but i couldnt stop thinking about it so i stayed up till 2.20am to get it finished, thinking i could get a bit of a lie-in, that wasnt the case, i woke up at 6.15 this morning, ohh well.

here is the finished book and open pages.

i have a slideshow

wow, i am getting all cheery as i sussed out how to put a slideshow on here, it took me ages to work out how to do it and at one stage it was in the wrong place so i had to work out how to move it which i did, feel free to have a look.
