Grannys Watching you & New Blog

Remember Grannies watching you

Hiya...gosh today has been extremely strange in good and bad ways....and girls please don't think me totally bonkers but i have done the blog Gathered Memories all ideas most welcome Ive come to learn that although I'm in my own dark place from time to time and might even piss you off oooops!!!other are suffering too..This after noon i popped into town and meet a friend who i hadn't seen for ages i dunno what i felt at first ...sadness ..shock but three years ago she was diagnosed with M.S. and is now in a wheelchair my heart went out to her but she showed me that all was not lost and know counsels people who are recently diagnosed..i stood amazed as she was no different than id known her yet she seemed better stronger ....than ever she shone with the enthusiasm and the courage i wish i had..she hadn't realised my time of sorrow and wanted to know everything yet all i wanted was her to share with me what had happened to her..she had me in awe of her attitude to life..and that was the push i needed to do my new blog...
Tell me what you think...good or bad.....some ideas perhaps..jump on board if you wanna help ill be glad of the company...i don't want it to be morbid or depressive although i suspect from comments it will have many feelings but a sounding board i hope it becomes.....but with the love and respect for each other

and from that we all can gain

and most of all friendship

and to all of you im so glad i can call you friends

p.s im off to dig out my broom and put on my whitchy face complete with rice crispie mole lol!!!have a good night take care love you all .

Somwhat Bizzare please read..

This is gonna seem quite mad guys and gals......but i wonder if i could set up a blog especially for all the ones out there suffering loss illness or anything they want to litterally get off ther chests....i make no apologies for my posts and the way i may come a across you can visit and leave a comment or ignore me...but i think there maybe room out there for a special place for people just to leave words of wisdom..encouragement or just to off load. about anything ..what do you think..would anyone like to share this bizarre idea...yet is it???...i needent be all doom and gloom but it could be somewhere special...for everyone there blog out let..to shout or scream or just to say how there coping or feeling...not that i want to take it away from them to write on their own blogs but sometimes it might seem inappropriate for them to do so..the rememberance wall on facebook is sad and yet uplifting to know so many others have lost loved ones all over the world..and just sometimes the more we understand human nature to grieve to leave unsaid words..at last spoken....love grief and happiness these messages left can say a mutitude of words too those reading it......your never alone...what do you think i have i really lost the plot and will someone step forward and help me ideas welcome ..i was going to delete this but hell why should i its just a thought..and knowing me id probably the only regular visitor...lol!!!!

words

A friendly voice in the dark of night ,
The tentative rays of morning light,
A host of butterflies high in flight,
A rainbow extending far out of sight-
All these miracles tell me this;...
Angels really do exist.

all my love to you all sassyxxxx

I need a hug day!!!!!

Not been the best week....and wow this swine flu is a right pig...my poor hubs had to go 6 miles to fetch the precription as strangely its only obtainable from certain nominated chemists also with a code..yeah gods only wanted some pills.....but this flu certainly makes you feel everso vunerable and really ill ..havent got out of bed except for the obvious ..so this has been my bed mate plus antibiotics.strepsils..paracetamol...looroll ran out of hankies ..and lived of warm soup....zovirex for the thumping cold sore the size of a small island on my mouth... dr had to call as i had blisters in my mouth and he thought i might have a touch of quinsy's but as i have no tonsils hes put it down to the high fevers i have been having..




..trust me its knackering ..so this is the first day up since wednesday and im pooped..i did however finish a card i had all set out for in the week...although hardly have the strength to glue it ..you all take care..ttfn x

Midnight Madness Challenge 24#

Hiyas.....im having a lazy day at work...on duty but feel rotton ** dink i dot a dold** lol!!!...and as its raining heavily i though it best to stay in the office instead of spreading my unwanted germs onto my luverly residents..who probably gave them to me in the first palce.....so did a bit of office work ans i snuck in a card..sometimes being the manager can have its perks...and i dont take libertys as a rule but wow one hell of a headache too...so thought id relaz into the Midnight Madness challenge....incorperated the two main elements although they wern't visible so i rammed some sticky feet under the white circle and it lifted the side layers away from the black..then if you looked sideways on all you could see were these blobs lol!!! so glue gun at the ready i popped a couple of flower heads to disguise them..and as per usual sassy ott...used flwers from wild orchids...my stamp flourish on the corners ..and re stamped when id put the white circle down..trying to line up the flourish not quite as successful as i would have liked but hey ho im under the weather.....added pearls...all the bits from stash...hope to you like her...thanks for popping in off to submitt my entry....ttfn loves yer
