Hi, guys! I hope you're having a relaxing weekend! This is just to let you know that after my op a biopsy was done on the tissue that was removed, and some cancerous cells were found. So some time in the next 3 weeks I'll begin fortnightly chemo sessions, which will last 6 months. Fortunately the cancer was discovered very early, and the outlook is optimistic - I am very lucky! I hope to be online as usual over the summer though I have no idea how the chemo will affect me! For now the awful tiredness and lethargy that I've felt since January has gone, and I hope that will continue! :) Thanks so much for your kind words, it means a lot! Love, Mags B x

Hello! I hope everyone is having a good weekend! At My Time to Craft this fortnight we have a Challenge that's become quite important to me recently - Get Well Soon lol!! I used a very cute Lili of the Valley stamp, this is Get Well Bunny which is an older stamp which is newly available again for a limited time!! I used Warm Grey Promarkers to colour the Bunny, I like how it looks against the pink of her bedding! The paper and ribbon are from stash, and the sentiment is from the Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler set. Go and be inspired by my teamies' lovely work, and join in the Challenge!
