Long time no post

It's been a while since I posted and as I had a few spare moments (been a bit crazy here getting ready for Christmas) I thought I would just stop by with a quick update.
I haven't been doing a great deal of crafting of late as around 8 weeks ago I had a fall. As you do when you are falling you put your arm/arms out, unfortunately for me I dislocated my elbow and damaged tendons and ligaments! Ouch! After around 6 weeks of taking it easy I was able to start back at the gym (with a brace) and had a light weight program to get some strength back into it. Happy to say that after a very long 8 weeks and many visits to the chiropractor today I was given the "almost clear" I have almost full movement back, but will still be 6-8 weeks before I get full strenght back.
Because of my injury I put my weekly sales on hold over on my page, I just wasn't able to get orders out as quick as I would have liked. I will be starting my weekly sales up again very soon in the New year.

Now as I said I haven't been doing a great deal of crafting but here are a few items I have been working on.


I male card I made after I really had to search in my stash for a card when my son was heading to a birthday party. I normally colour the image, but I really liked the black and white on silver and figured my boys can add some colour if they wanted to.



The next is a card I made for a challenge on Illawarra Scrap & Craft comp page the card on the left with the "a note for you" tag is the one I entered. While I had everything out I made another one, I just didn't add a tag. I will do that when I decide who it is going to...and for what reason.



The last one I wanted to share was another male card, I don't have a great deal of male cards in my collection. This was made with lots of new goodies I had got and I wanted to use as many as I could on a card. The checkered washi tape is from Sawyers Place. The stamps are a Stampin up set.

Well that is a wrap, last post of the year. I would like to wish all of you a safe and happy Christmas and hope to see you all back in the New Year. xx Tracy
