Hello friends
Today a Thank You, Thank You Card!
This card has just appeared on the Spellbinders® Idea Gallery and it features
the Enhancing Elements die - Gold Ovals One.
Teaming these dies with your classic Nestabilities® means you can layer up a card easily.
In case you haven't seen it Spellbinders have created a
Nestabilities Compatibility Chart - you can view it here. This is so useful -
I've printed it off to keep above my craft table - a great reference guide.
For the last day or so we have been to and fro The Royal Marsden and this
afternoon we are at King's College Hospital. Elliott has been seeing various
psychologists and we have learned a great deal about breathing and relaxation
techniques. Truly hoping this is all going to help with his radiotherapy and anxiety.
(I can confirm the relaxation therapist was very good -
I nearly nodded off when I should have been making notes!)
I will keep you posted when I can, my posts tend to pop up at different times at the moment,
I grab a few minutes here and there to type one up. As always thank you, thank you for
your comments and messages - I'm a little delayed in replying but I will get there :)
Take care friends.

You will all be ready for a holiday, it is so tiring going to hospitals all the time. Gorgeous card too, well done you. xxxx
Really hope everything goes better in the next week or two and the radiotherapy can get under way. Pretty card good idea about the chart I tend to get overwhelmed with all my dies !! Thinking of you all x
Hi Christine, the last thing on your mind will be your blog posts so don't worry about it.
What a pretty card, as always.
Good luck with everything today. Will be thinking about you.

Hi Christine. I just want to say pretty much the the same as Elizabeth. We went to Canada a few years ago and I got a plaque, which is now hanging on our kitchen door, that says
"MAKE TIME FOR THE IMPORTANT THINGS"
You are doing exactly that, and we all totally understand and would do the same, nothing is more important than family! Just remember that we are all thinking of you and your family, and are here whenever you have time/feel like blogging. Take care
Lovely card Christine and I like the compatibility chart idea - I'll be printing that off.
You and your family are always in my thoughts and prayers.
Take care.
Hugs

Thank you for keeping us updated on Elliott's progress, I hope he will soon be able to start his treatment.
Have viewed the chart and it is going to be very useful, however, I must remember that I don't need to buy all the dies!
Take care, Anne x
Good morning Christine, beautiful card, I would just like to echo what everyone else has said, god bless you all, hugs Pauline xx
I hope the techniques work for Elliott. I am amazed you didn't nod off completly with everything you have going on! The chart is a good idea and the card is lovely. JuliaT x
Morning Christine beautiful card so elegant and love the colours. Glad the hospital visits are helping and hope you can get started soon on the treatment. Ive vote for you in the craft awards good luck and fingers crossed. Thanks for the spellbinders compatability chart great resource and thanks for sharing xx hazel
Morning Christine, Loving the card and thank you for the heads-up on the compatibility chart. I have just printed it off too, I decided to print off double sided as there is 9 sheets, it is the first time I have printed this way, it printed off every alternate number, then laptop showed me how to remove and re-insert, and guess what !! the second side is the other way up ha ha. When I'm referring to it, my head will be going up and down ha ha.
I think I could do with some of that relaxation technique too, here's hoping this will help Elliott to cope with the mask work. It must be so, so, tiring for you all with all these hospital visits, but in the end it will all be worth the stress, when Elliott is brought back to full health. I look forward to that day. Huge hugs to you all.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Morning Christine,
You and Elliot must be worn out, its such a stressful and trying time for you. Keeping my fingers crossed that the relaxation method works for him.
Love your card today the layering is very effective. Will print the chart off as well it will be very useful.
Take care.

Hello All of You. What a tough time you're still having. Elliott keep brave and remember anything is worth going through if it means getting better quicker. Christine, stay strong. We are all with you still and sending waves of support. Thank heavens you continue to have a sense of humour - how it helps. xxMargaretxx
Lovely card, Christine. I really don't know how you cram it all in. I hope you'll all be able to relax a bit over the weekend (put all those techniques to good use) and that Elliott will soon be ok with the radiotherapy.
Best wishes, Rose
