Hello friends
See that smile....that's a clear MRI scan smile!
He does look tired, that's because he had to get up early - we had the pleasure of the M25 first thing!
It isn't until you hear the good news you realise that you've been holding your breath for
what feels like weeks! Another scan in April and just a few hospital visits in between
so we feel like we are truly getting back to normal now.
Thank you for all your good wishes - they really help.
How about something crafty now!
I'm still sharing the projects made for Let's Make Christmas Cards magazine featuring
the rather unconventional lilac and mauve papers.
I know the colours are not everyone's cup of tea but you can always
adopt the idea with traditional reds and greens.
Create A Flake Five and Layered Poinsettia (of course!) are featured.
Looks like vinyl and rugs for the woodland cabin, a definite winning choice.
Going shopping at the weekend to pick those out.
Take care friends - did you hear about the possible heat-wave?
Morning Christine.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear the good news. I think the big mac had something to do with the big smile. Have a good weekend and take care Kitty.rry the card is very pretty too.
Good morning Christine
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful news for Elliot. He looks so happy - must be the big Mac!!
Very pretty Christmas card - I like the non traditional colours.
Enjoy your day

Hello Christine
ReplyDeleteSo pleased Elliott had the all clear!
Up early waiting for a new Dryer, mine died yesterday aged 25 yrs....that is so good, but makes you complacent that its always going to heat up, which it didn't !on a wet day with two loads to dry!
Anyway... lovely picture of the McDonald and the smiling face Elliott!
Love the card too!
Take care
Love Marg

ReplyDeleteAfternoon Christine, Absolutely FABULOUS news !! I was so, so, happy to read that Elliott's MRI scan was clear. It must have been traumatic for you all. Elliott does look tired, but hopefully the McD's made up for the early start haha.
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful, gorgeous colours and lovely compilation.
I'm hoping they are right with the weather forecast, I'm sick of this rain haha, I did notice that it was a lot warmer in bed last night, than it has been of late, bring it on I say !!
Enjoy the rest of your day.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Hi Christine

Hi Christine
ReplyDeleteGood news regarding Elliot. He'll be able to start getting back to a normalise life now won't he. I say normalise as he has a few more hospital visits etc to endure. But he's well on the way now.
Flooring shopping for you now, I assume neither Mitchell one Elliot will want to go with you. I can hear them now saying boring boring boring.
Brilliant news on the scan! So pleased for you all especially Elliott of course.
ReplyDeleteI like these colours for a festive card - never been keen on the traditional red/green combo.
Hope you find something lovely for your cabin at the weekend.
I fear the aforementioned heatwave comes with a sting in its tail i.e. More rain.
I am overjoyed for you and Elliott ! Its fantastic news , must be a huge relief xx
ReplyDeleteGreat news for the whole family. What a lovely feeling. Gillian xx
ReplyDeletegreat news ,he deserves the Mc Donnalds .Laura O
