Cuddly Buddly Challenge #15...

Welcome to this weeks Cuddly Buddly Digi Challenge. Our theme this week is "CHECK IT OUT". So we are wanting to see you use checks, plaid or tartan patterns on your project.

For my card this week, I have used a Bits of Ivory image called "Milly's bug lantern" For more details about this weeks challenge and for amazing DT inspiration, pop on over to the blog. While you are there, you must check out what the lovely Kim has been up to. There are wonderful surprises for you all. This is what she has said...

Hi Folks – I’ve been noseying through a lot of the older discontinued digi products here at Cuddly and decided that as times are hard for many people in this economic climate that instead of them just sitting there in the data base doing nothing that many of these old images might be better off coming out of retirement as they could very well be a blessing to some folks … so if you nosey around my (Cuddly Buddly), Lilyboo and Picture Kitchen sections of the site, you should spot a fair few digis for FREE!!!!

How fantastic is all that? Told you it was wonderful...

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and I'm really looking forward to seeing your creations this week.

Hugs xo Jackie

Thank you ...

Hello my beautiful friends. I have finally got some energy to quickly pop online and thank each and everyone of you for your beautiful well wishes and love. Just to hear that you took the time to leave such lovely comments brightened my days more than you could possibly know.

It was so nice to get home from hospital yesterday. I was begining to feel like a pin cushion lol... But the worst thing about it all was that I had to miss attending my sisters wedding in Western Australia. I was to be one of her bridesmaid's and it just broke my heart that I couldn't be there for her.

Thankfully before this all happened, I had all my posts scheduled to go. Thank you also to my lovely DT friends for taking up the slack for me, you're all amazing.

See you in a few day and thank you again my dear friends.

Love xo

Jackie is out of Hospital today

Good news, Jackie is coming home today. I am sure once she is home and well rested she will be on-line in a flash.

The rest of the clan are also well.

Well out with the vacuum cleaner, clothes in the washing machine, bust some dust and light some scented candles for her impending return.


cheers

Update on Jackie

Hello to all, and thankyou to those who have been wishing Jackie well. Jackie's condition was caused by a virus, headaches included. After adjustments to her medication she is now starting to feel better, however she will have to stay in hospital one more day. Kids will have to put up with my poor culinary skills, oh well you cannot be good at everything.

Jackie's sister Helen is getting married today in Perth, so poor Jackie has also missed out on this important event. All in all it has been one week we would all rather forget.

Cheers
