Contrary to appearances – or
non-appearances – I´m still here though not necessarily chained to
my computer these days. When our national poet, Robert Burns, said
that “toothache´s the hell of all diseases” he´d obviously
never suffered from sciatica. But enough of that.
I´ve received lots of lovely cards
today and just had to show you a couple which mean a lot to me as
they feature two of my very favourite creatures. This one from my
husband reminds me of summer when this butterfly, along with its
sisters and its cousins and its aunts, fluttered brilliantly among the
buddleias on our patio.
This one also brings back many memories
of summer, and to those of you who know me, requires no explanation
at all.
Thank you, Herbert and Pauli, for
cheering me up on a dreary January morning and reminding me that
happier times are just around the corner.
Happy Birthday, Helen!
ReplyDeleteI haven't made you a new card, so hope you will still enjoy one from last year at http://scrap-genie.blogspot.com/2012/01/birthday-card-for-helen.html
. So sorry the back is still ailing! Hope things get better SOON.
Thank you, Jean. I still have your lovely card and it still gladdens my heart.
ReplyDeleteI´m waiting to see an orthopaedic specialist and hoping he´ll give me a transfer to the clinic. Fingers Xed....
What an adorable card from your friend Pauli! Hope you have a wonderful birthday and are blessed with a pain-free day (or at least as pain-free as can be expected until you're able to get treatment.)
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday Helen. I hope you get some relief soon for you back. I know how horrible it is to have chronic pain. Thinking about you and wishing you a beautiful day.
ReplyDeleteOMG...I told my husband last week that you had a birthday coming up and I even looked up the one I posted here last year and made a mental note thinking if nothing else I would re-post. (Here's the link: http://www.retrodesigning.blogspot.com/2012/01/happy-birthday-helen.html) Then i found an e-card that was perfect for you and well...so much for my mental note of the date. Should have sent the card early and not have relied on my mental capabilities...LOL! Oh...just remembered. I was on the couch all day Sunday from an exposure...used a hair product for my thinning hair and though no fragrance, there must have been a "chemical" that got me. Spent Monday recovering and much better today.
ReplyDeleteLove Pauli's card...reminds me of your Christmas e-card I sent with the beach scene. And how cute is Dora peeking out of the garden.
Keep an eye out for an e-card or two. Loved the one with flowers but also like the one with butterflies! HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY MY FRIEND!
