Gilded Wedding - Saturday 27th June

Hello Friends,

Have you missed me this week? Sadly I haven't been on holiday, but off work with a flare up of my ongoing back condition..it has been agony and I have the hens to blame (LOL) because it was whilst cleaning them out last Sunday morning that it flared up, with a vengeance!

Those of you who have been following me for a while will know that whilst my friends were playing hockey and netball as a teenager (as was I), I preferred mucking out stables for rides and the chance to compete in riding school show jumping and eventing..as well as play ice hockey! All this has left me with a recurring back condition - well it was mostly that fall from  a horse that did it!  Sometimes I can go a couple of years without an attack, but this year I've had a few mild ones and it really makes it impossible to sit at my desk for long and craft or use the computer..and believe me I have it all set up for perfect back support! So I went to see a doctor and he has suggested I visit a Sports Massage Therapist, which he reckons is better for my problem that physio etc. I haven't tried any therapies for a while, so I've made an appointment for Wednesday.

So my friends that is why I haven't posted or visited many of you this week and right now I'm posting a card I made as a commission back in May...a Wedding card..

 I'm not going into much detail if you'll forgive me today..the hearts are from Scrapbook Adheives, coated with gilding flakes.

Hopefully I wil get to boghop tomorrow, probably using the iPad and am desperate to resume normal crafting as soon as possible!

Love and Hugs,
Carole X

  1. Hi Carole,
    so sorry to hear about your back problem. I too suffer occasionally with my back as I have arthritis in spine as well as a lot of other places. So i can sympathize with you.I had very bad sciatica at one time and acupuncture was the only thing that stopped the pain, as it gets rid of a build up of toxins in the body as well as what you are suffering with. This the only thing that helped me, and that was 5 years ago now and I haven't had a bad flare up since.
    Now at long last to your card it's a very beautiful card. I love the gilded hearts., and the date, and the names of the couple on it.
    Hope you back gets better soon.
    Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
