A Thank you ...

Hello sweet friends ...
I am still here ... and my back is improving but my hip is still a problem ... Unfortunately I am not very good with painkillers ... they mess with my head ... even the smallest dose seems to make me groggy ... so here I am trying to clear the fog and come up with a card for this weeks' challenge at Jingle Bells ... without success ... Then the post arrived and Wow!! just look what I got from my lovely and very talented friend .. Ira 


Look at that adorable cat Ira made me!! I just love it!


and these beautiful satin gloves .. to handle the cat ha! ha! (or to wear with my Chanel No. 5) 


... and that is not all ... she even sent me some gorgeous papers and beautiful die cuts ...


I am doing a happy dance (one legged of course) ...
Thank you so much Ira .... you really made my day and I am so grateful 

I also have a Thank you to say to lovely Linda of Hands to work Hearts to Love for passing on this Butterfly Award to me

I have to answer 12 questions ....
  1. My favourite colour ... I really don't have one .. it depends on what it's for
  2. My favourite song .... (difficult)... but I love "I vow to thee my country"
  3. My favourite dessert ... Anything with almonds or marzipan
  4. What ticks me off at the moment ... My Hip!!
  5. My favourite pet ... Has to be a dog
  6. Black or White ... For what?
  7. Biggest fear ... Heights!!! 
  8. Best feature ... My son
  9. Everyday attitude ... Thank God I'm upright and breathing
  10. What is perfection ... To love and be loved
  11. Guilty pleasure ... I can't tell you that!
  12. When I'm upset I ... Retreat into myself

So now I have to pass this on but there are so many of you that I would like to pass this to so please feel free to take it  ... 
I will be back tomorrow with another challenge at City Crafter ... thank you all so much for your well wishes ... for your comments and for visiting me ... What would I do without you?


Take care 


~ Ros ~

    Sorry to hear you are still not feeling better. I agree with the pain pills. I don't do well with those either. Looks like you got a goodie package. :)
    Hugs~

    I am so happy that the mail was so quick to arrive at your doorstep Ros and really glad that you like what I sent you. Don't tell me that the gloves are part of your guilty pleasures, lol! Just teasing you, of course ;-) So sorry to hear that your back and hip are still hurting. I have the same problem with pain killers, they make me become a sleepy head. I usually take some red wine, this has the same soothing effect, might help you, too? Loved reading the answers to your 12 questions and I sooooo recognize point 12! Big hugs, Ira xox

    What wonderful gifts, the red gloves are to die for, Ros! Such a sweet friend. The answers to your questions are so fun, gave me a chuckle. Hope your evening finds you feeling better. Try taking a magnesium tablet for for the pain in your back.
