Hello friends...
I'm getting slightly fed up...I had hoped to be going back to my class today and seeing old friends, but it isn't happening...sigh
For the past couple of weeks the radiation burns have really been painful despite the products I am applying. I look like I fell on a barbecue and feel like it too. I can cope with the joint pains, the mouth ulcers and the hot flushes etc., All part and parcel of the treatment and drugs but with the high temperatures we've experienced this past week I feel exhausted and yeah, a little sorry for myself today...sorry.
Anyway, just ignore my moaning - I have a few cards to share with you which will be crossing the pond.
This first one was for a friend here in the UK who needed a little pick me up
The others...
You can see in a few of these that I am still using my stamps, stencils and embossing powder occasionally,
and I have gone back to using cardstock to paint on lately. The sea quotes are stamps from Inkylicious.
Actually, I got to go on a ship recently... We didn't sail anywhere, my husband had booked a day out for us to view the ship Ambition at our Liverpool Cruise Terminal and enjoy a beautiful lunch - It did cheer me up, even though I had a meltdown the night before thinking I wouldn't be able to make it. I'm so glad I did.
Be safe my friends and enjoy the wonderful season of Autumn

Hi Ros. I'm sorry to hear you are dealing with so many awful side-effects. Sending love and hugs you're way, dear friend. It's great to see your amazing cards. I hope that creating uplifts you and provides a bit of a break. I love your seascapes ... they are all so precious. Take care, Ros. Sending healing thoughts your way. Love, Loll
Beautiful cards Ros.
Keep your chin up, rest when your body tells you and it's fine to feel sorry for yourself after all the crappiness!
Sending a big hugx
Sorry that the side effects have kicked in and that this heat has zapped your energy Ros. I think that we have been suffering tiredness as sleeping has been difficult but it must be so frustrating on top of everything else. It doesn't seem to have effected your creation of beautiful painted cards though, and love the variety of looks and wonderful words. I love the photos of your visit to the cruise ship too and hope you enjoyed the lunch. x
So sorry you are having to deal with so much discomfort, Ros. I pray it will ease very soon. I so enjoy seeing what you've been creating! All are beautiful and wouldn't they make a lovely framed grouping? You are so talented, my friend! Take care.
So sorry you have to go thru all this, but know we are thinking of you and praying that soon all this will pass and you will be back to tip top in no time! Your cards are beautiful, like paintings just waiting to be framed!! Each one is so peaceful and I think we could all use that in out lives right now. I am glad you got to get away and enjoy yourself for a bit, I think that is important too, to have a bit of a break from all and relax a bit! Take care my friend and sorry I haven't been more vocal, we sold the lake house this summer and I have been busy trying to downsize here and there and then we had a ton of work to do here, it has been a long summer of projects!!
It breaks my heart to hear about all the awful side effects you're going through Ros...please know I am continuing to hold you close in prayer and pray that this is all over for you very soon! Your sea-scape cards are absolutely AMAZING and your talent is definitely still shining through my friend! Hang in there...better days ahead!! Hugs. :0)
Ross, so sorry to hear the side effects you are dealing with. Your cards are amazing as always. I'm glad to see you able to dabble into your painting, when you are feeling up to it. We always love to see you create.
Sending love and hugs, take care Ros,
Remember it is very okay to feel sorry for oneself every now and then - though I am sorry to hear it. Going by your card creations one wonders how much more you could possibly be making were you full of energy and in less discomfort! I hope that situation will be reality soon and can't wait to see the outpouring of creativity! Until then, try to enjoy more of these little outings and really: what if one did turn out to be too much? Then you just admit it and go home to rest and "tomorrow" will be a new day. Much love!
Sending healing thoughts, the side effects of treatment are so hard on the body ♥ Things will get better and I'm glad you enjoyed your day on the boat.
You're artistic skills amaze me, such beautiful cards ♥
Hi Ros....so pleased to see your beautiful talent again. Those seascapes are amazing and I love how you have done the waves. Sorry to hear the side effects of the radiotherapy are not treating you well, I hope you feel better very soon and can put this part of your life in your past. Hugs xx
I am so glad to see that you are still doing your little paintings. They are all gorgeous and so uplifting, each and every one of them. So sorry that things are still challenging and up and down for you. You are allowed to feel fed up and sorry for yourself now and again. I am glad you enjoyed a day out and a nice lunch. Thanks for sharing the photo. I spent 3 days in Liverpool last week with my sisters. It was my first visit there and I was very impressed. We had a lovely time and the weather was glorious. I am going away with my husband next week to Sussex and it looks like the weather will be poor - he is very fed up about that of course. I hope you are starting to feel better now and I shall look forward to seeing more of your paintings xx
You have a right to moan, Ros. It takes a strong spirit like yours to get through such a hard time. It's encouraging to see your beautiful paintings. You sure haven't lost your touch. I've been away from blogs for a while since Wally and LuLu both died within 3 months of each other. Sending hugs.
So glad you got to do lunch on the ship. Can just imagine how it lifted your spirits. Hoping by now you're feeling better. So much to deal with, but so good to know you caught it early. Your paintings are beautiful & I can tell you, they bring joy to the recipients! Sending big hugs, Greta
