Hi everyone,  thanks so much for all your support, it is a tough thing to face,  but also hopeful.
Well I have been feeling pretty good, as I have had a break from Chemo (I start back on Thursday), so I have been creating a little, I made a couple of layouts, and one I created awhile ago, just thought it would be nice to share, I have been falling back onto scrapping alot just to keep my mind happy, especially if I have trouble sleeping, Mike took these photos for me.
I used some leftovers to create this Summer Layout, a little Bo Bunny, My Minds Eye,  Kaiser and Petaloo flowers.

I used some Kaisercraft pattern papers to create this layout of my darlings.

This is a cute layout of my darling boy when he was little using Little Yellow Bicycle.  I love all the stickers and borders with this very adorable line.

Well that is it for me, just a quick share.....  take care everyone, wishing you well.

I haven't posted for a very very long time, sometimes things just creep up on you and before you know it you may not have been looking out for yourself like maybe you should have.

I have recently been diagnosed with Breast Cancer needless to say, thats why I was so tired, thats why I found myself not being able to keep up with project deadlines and thinking whats wrong with me, I just felt so run down.  I was totally totally shocked, all of a sudden things that were......... aren't quite the same.

I have a long way to go, but life goes on and I do what the doctors tell me and keep my life as normal as possible, feeling very positive and I have the wonderful support of my family and friends.

Its taken me awhile to create this post I stopped everything without telling a  soul, and I felt I really needed to explain why now.

Take care everyone.

I have finally been able to get my blogger post up, I apparently didn't have my compatability setup correctly who new!!!

I will be back tomorrow with an update.

Sharing a layout that I have created for the Aussie Scrap Source Blog, using Echo Park "Spring Time", love all the cute stickers and fun colours.

I created a fun little bird house using some strips of paper and chalking the edges of the paper, I remember doing this technique a lot of years ago so it was fun recreating an old technique.

Love the cute bike sticker, just adorable.

I also used some Glimmer Mist and created a fun background. I will have some Little Yellow Bicycle projects tomorrow.
