Back from my Table Top Sale!!!

Hi Everybody,
I hope you are all well, I'll tell you that my Mum and me are freezing.  I've just come home from my local Church and the Table Top Sale, now it wasn't very busy, and I was even less busy.  The weather didn't help, I mean who would come out on a morning like we had this morning.  The temperature was only 6 C and it rained from the start to the end.
Well, I sold quite a few Cards, but not that many (there have to go back into the Craft Room until we hear of anything).  But, it was an experience, something new something I've ever done before, and it was fun!!!
Bye (I'm going to go and warm up!!!)

Just One More!!!

Hi Everybody,
This is my 3rd post today (will burn myself out at this rate!!!), I am still working hard trying to get enough things for my stall on Saturday.  I'm really very nervous and I think I will be until the day is over, I'll be packing away when the weight will be lifted.
Well, on with my card:

Willow Sketchie Challenge - 26th April - 'Things Outside'

Hi Everyone,
Wow!!! Did everybody get wet yesterday???  I did, I was on my way to the hospital, I went there for a Stroke Trial, it was my first day at it, so it was basically just an information session to see if I would want to continue.  I thought it went really well, and I signed up to say that I would start the trial after I have recovered from my operation, I can't wait.
Well, it's Thursday and that means it's time for another Willow Sketchie Challenge.  However, there is a new format that we are now following.  There is a Sketch, however there is also a Theme, now it's your choice as to what one or both you decide to follow.  
But firstly, I must congratulate the Winner of last weeks Challenge, we had loads of really good entries and I really like looking at each of them, so thank you.  So the Winner of last weeks Challenge was (drum roll) ........Gina (no 7).  I really enjoyed your card / project.  I hope you enjoy you Voucher to spend at Willow Designs.  Congratulations.
This week our hostess is the most fantastic Kelly.  She has the most fantastic Sketch for you to follow, and here it is:

But, together with the Sketch her Theme is:
'Things Outside' 
For this it could be something to do outside, something that lives outside or a view from outside etc.
Now I here you calling 'What will I win???'.  I heard you, the Winner of this weeks Challenge (picked at random) will receive a Voucher to spend at Willow Designs, how cool is that!!!

Fab 'n' Funky Challenge - Challenge #118 - 'No Design Papers'

Hi Everyone,
I hope that you are well???  Well, this afternoon I'm going to the JR Hospital, to see if I'm able to go onto a Stroke Trial.  I really hope I am OK, and that they can start the research as soon as possible (although I need to get over the operation next week).  I want to be able to say that I helped in whatever small part, it makes me feel that the Stroke that I had would prevent others as young as me from having this.
Well, the day is Wednesday and you know what that means, yeah!!! It's time for another Fab 'n' Funky Challenge.  What a great effort from everyone to do the 'Lace and Pearls' project. I loved your 'Lace and Pearls' projects, I thought that they were all fantastic.  As with everything we must pick a Winner, so please check out the Fab 'n' Funky Challenge blog to find out if it was you.  But I must thank all of you for you wonderful creations, they were all fantastic.

Stamp 'n' Doodle - 'April Showers and/or Spring Flowers'

Hi Everyone,
I tell you, I'm running late with my Challenge.  I've been at the hospital for the last 6 hours for a Pre-Operation Check.  It started off fine, then got a bit more involved, they decided to send me for a ECG, I then came back and they wanted blood tests galore (I feel like a pin cushion), I then had to wait and and see the Doctor, and finally I had to wait for the Doctor to ring my Haematologist to confirm that I need to stop taking Warfarin.  Talk about a busy day, I know they are only doing it to make sure that I don't have another Stroke, which has to be good really.
Well on with this weeks Challenge.  We had lots of entries for the last Challenge 'Bright and Bold Colours'.  I was amazed by all of them.  I must congratulate the Winner (please see the  Stamp 'n' Doodle blog page for details of the Winner and Top Three).

Well, I guess it's on with the next Challenge from Stamp 'n' Doodle, it's
