GET WELL SOON ALEX

I am trying desperately to stay positive but I am so ill its unreal. I still have this nasty chest infection so I am coughing my little heart out! Its giving me an awesome tummy ache and headache. My throat is so sore and I have even picked up a bout of conjunctivitis!

I wish I knew how to take care of myself. The trouble is I can't bare a messy house, got to make sure these kiddies have something decent to eat and baby Ava still needs her mummy. So, in order to cheer myself up I have made myself this get well soon card, hoorah!

Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Kraft and Green Galore

PHEW!

I really should be renamed "Superwomen" women you know, LOL!  My little boy Cameron is full of cold, his eyes are all puffy and red (I am sure he has conjunctivitis too) and he still just wants to go outside and play football. Poor kid, I have had to force him to stay in bed with DVD's, home baked banana loaf and unlimited play on his PSP; a rarity I promise you. The PSP bit I mean!

Anyhoo, while running up and down looking after him, jiggling baby Ava on my hip, stuffing copious amounts of laundry into the washing machine and baking the banana loaf, I managed to make these!

More swaps but this time for my mate in all things "crafty", Loraine over there in Shropshire. She doesn't have the "All in the Family or "A Good Egg" stamp sets, I hope she likes them. 

The first, you will all have seen in my blog entry for 4 March, but I have used the flower stamp from "A Good Egg" for the background instead of the "Its Beautiful" wheel.

Cardstock: Gable Green and Tempting Turquoise

Ink: Green Galore and Brilliant Blue 

Stampin' Pastels: Brocade Blue and Barely Banana 

Accessories:1/4! Whisper White Grosgrain Ribbon and 1 3/8 circle punch

Swap Number 2

Cardstock: Whisper White and Tempting Turquoise, Gable Green

Ink: Brilliant Blue, Green Galore, Pixie Pink, Real Red

Stamp set: "All in the Family" and  "Fun and Fast Notes" (sentiment)

I just adore these little family stamps, so cute! 

They are winging their way over to you Loraine and should be with you early next week!
