I am back with Card-io stamps

Hello all I am sorry for being MIA and not posting my in between work from challenges.  Thank goodness I work ahead with my DT obligations that have been going live whilst me being MIA.  Just before the festive period I became really ill and struggled to breathe. cut a long story short went to Docs was put onto oxygen as levels were far too low, ambulance called and was admitted onto High Dependency Respiratory Unit for 10 days - It had turned out it began with flu symptoms and I could not get warm, was constantly coughing and bringing up allsorts from lungs. chest infection and ended up with pneumonia which in turn exuberated my already bad asthma. was seriously ill and was told if I had left it another day the outcome would have been different. I have further appts for lung function tests so oh joy!!! 

So here I am back again in the saddle so to speak - well almost as exhausted all the time lol

I have been playing with my card-io stamps for a while - well practicing and I think I am getting there slowly. 

Stencil and stamps, from mixed sets, are all card-io 

Thanks for stopping by
