Carnival Balloon from Simply Sassy

I have been a bad blogger the last few days - seem to have lost the will to craft or do anything really - the house is a tip and the wasing and ironiong are piling up. Think I just not got rid of that bug I have had and Graham is off work today with the same symptoms so know now it was a virus I had.  Feel wabbit (some of you may know the translation but if not it means knackered, tired, exhausted, etc).

Today's card is for the following challenges ~ Sentimental Sundaes 'Inspired by A Song'~ The Carnival Is Over (by The Seekers); Sketch Saturday's current sketch (beautiful sketch girls!) and Wee Memories Anything Goes.

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend - but where has the sun gone today? If you have it, can you pls send it back to me in Enfield pls as I do not like the rain - tho my plants love it.

Carnival Balloon

Hello my friends,  Thought I would share this card with you tonight even tho I made it yesterday but as we all know Blogger was not playing!  It is not for anything in particular ~ just sent it to my Mam with details of the holiday we have booked to take her on as a thanks for looking after us all when I have come out of hospital twice over the last 18 months.  We have booked a lovely lodge in South Cornwall for 5 days during the last week in June.  She so wants to see the Eden Project and we would like her to visit Clovelly, The Minack Theatre, Lands End, Lizard Point and Lynmouth.  We will have a busy 5 days but she can recover at ours afterwards. 

I used the stunning Simply Sassy Carnival Balloon and coloured her with PMs - not going to add details as this is not for any challenges.  My neck is a bit sore just now and I don't want to overdo things sitting at the PC ~ dunno what I have done to it.  It may simply be that I have finally gotten off the small dose of Amitryptiline I have been on for nerve pain and my muscles are overcompensating for it ~ I see the wonderful Mr Thorne who performed my op on 26th of this month so will get checked out then.

I have another post to do later so do come back.  Hoping to get some commenting done too but depends on the pain level later.
