Hi there Crafty Friends. It hasn't been a very Crafty year for me. Here's an update for those who don't know what I've been up to.
At the start of the year I was very preoccupied planning a 6 week trip to Europe. In my working life I was a Travel Agent, so I really enjoy researching every little detail and finding the perfect places to stay.
Then I was a good Mum and flew to Queensland to mind my Daughter's cats for a few weeks whilst she went to Japan.
I travelled with a very good friend to Greece, France and Belgium. I also spent 4 days in Helsinki and spent time with two wonderful Crafty Friends - Shirley (Shirley-Bee's Stamping Stuff) and Nonni (Nonni's Handmade Cards) on the way over and visited Family in Scotland. My last sop was Copenhagen.
The holiday was absolutely fantastic, with one exception - I had a fall, when my case got stuck on something and took me with it! I visited an Orthopaedic Doctor who confirmed a fracture, but despite the Xray she didn't see the extent of the damage. So with a boot, walking stick, lots of encouragement and sheer determination I continued my journey with lots of stops to elevate my foot. I amazed myself at what I managed to do. Hey, it's a long way from Australia and I'm not getting any younger!!!
The pain did get worse by the end of the trip. When I got back I had more Xrays and a CT Scan and visited a Surgeon. So now I'm recovering from a Mid-foot Fusion surgery. I'll be non weight-bearing for minimum 6 weeks and then 50% weight bearing for another month or so.
This means I won't be getting back to card-making for awhile yet. You'll still see some DT cards, that I made earlier in the year and I may post some cards that have been sitting in my un-shared stash.
I have also been slack at visiting blogs and leaving comments, so I apologise and hope to get back to visiting you all soon.
