All aboard!

I had to get out of my sick bed yesterday having been there for 3 days with a flu virus (no, I don't think I was oinking). I realised that brother-in-law Chris would be 50 in June and a special card was needed.
Thankfully I had cut this one out and put it to one side, so all I needed to do was add the frills.
He is the engineering officer on P & O Aurora, so although it is a bit like taking coals to Newcastle, I hope he likes it.

Birthday Cards

I had two birthdays to make cards for this week. One for my neice and the other one an order. I hope the all like their cards.

Men's cards

Once again I have been ignoring my blog for too long. I have had tendonitis in my wrist for the last few weeks which is really painful, but thankfully it is all better now.
I have also been busy at classes with a couple of men's workshops.
Here are a couple of cards from the class. The baseball one also won me first prize in the Imag-e-nation forum challenge, so I was very chuffed about that. I think this one could be really nice as a girl's hat too, so I may have to try it in pink and fluffy stuff.

Some recent cards

I really have been so busy lately and have forgotten to update my blog with some of the cards I've been making. My latest excuse is a bad case of tendonitis in my right wrist which has forced me to spend less time on the computer and even less time making cards.

I am pleased to report that it is on the mend now though and I'll soon be back in the swing of things again.
So, here are a few cards that I have done with the girls in class lately.

I'm supposed to be retired!

But I've been working virtually full time at Ollie Doodles. Two classes on both Monday and Tuesday and then another class this morning followed by a workshop tomorrow afternoon. Roll on Friday ....I've got a day off! Here are a couple of the cards that the girls have been making this week. My physiotherapy has finished now, so at least I don't have such early mornings to contend with. It might have made a little difference so I have bought a T.E.N.S machine to carry on with at home.
